Does it bother anyone that the monogamy limitation is called "traditional marriage"? Why not "Biblical marriage"?
Is this a reflection of the love we have for tradition, and the disregard for Holy Scripture?
Just curious what you guys think...
Rev 5:5
5 And one of the elders said to me, "Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals."
? ESV
Good one, Lion.
Now, let's see if I can preempt the rationale of modern, churchianity leaders...
I suppose they'd demand that modern understanding about traditional marriage IS Biblical marriage.
Well, in one respect they'd be right.
However, the inordinate fixation on tradition is the very strength of many man-made organizations that see themselves as being creations of God...as if the Lord allegedly directed the creation of a clergy class to exercise ecclesiastical oversight for the benefit of all the sheeple.
Well, we can see how far afield that leadership has tromped from the straight and narrow. The stone, brick and wood they've swooned the masses into letting them build as monuments to their avarice and pride...all in the name of God, of course, are the
objects to which they've joined themselves.
Where's the marital purity and personal chastity in that?
No, no. Now stay with me on this.
If we're the collective bride of Christ Jesus, and yet devote so much of our energies and resources toward those edifices (all of which will perish with this earth when it's destroyed) and their pet, traditional dotrines that condemn the Patriarchs to the pits of Hell, why the TRADITIONAL practice of infidelity toward those things within the word of God that happen to violate their sensibilities?
In other words, when I see someone pointing the charge of infidelity in the direction of the Patriarchs for the biblical, marital form of marriage they practiced, it makes perfect sense that those accusors are heaping back upon their own heads many times the glowing, red coals of guilt they hoped would singe men they've never met.
It's those same kinds of people who assume God allowed sin in the lives of the Patriarchs simply because they lived during OT times. That one is among some of the worst beliefs anyone could yammer about, but it's parrotted everywhere. I even hear that nonsense fom people like that goofball David Jeremiah. I've heard him spew that filth as if it were scriptural rote.
I see many, many biblical teachings and examples coming under increasing fire, which sets the stage for that great turning away spoken about in scripture.
All that's left is the final catalyst that will solidify the ugly, religious mass into that battering ram that will ultimately be used against the truly faithful.
It'll be the dark ages all over again, but more dark than anything ever seen before, and I suspect the blind followers of islam will play a key role in that battering.
Being witnesses of the TRUTH is therefore of utmost importance in these times.
