  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Multiple marriages?

yes what a touchy and controversial subject.
but i do need some sort of discussion on this.
biblical references.
jesus's teaching.
is it a sin in the eyes of god or merely not addressed in the bible.

i'd just like to ask for peoples comments or any form of document, article, biblical refernce that addresses multiple or singular marriage. on a christian perspective.

thankyou.

http://bible1.crosswalk.com/Diction...cgi?number=T464 This is a good article about marriage in the bible and includes polygamy.

I think the essence is that God designed marriage to me one man one woman - after the fall things got twisted and multiple wives became common - but always with dire concequences, none of them were without trauma and pain. God warned the kings to have just one wife.
