Hello everyone!

Hey Lily, welcome to the Biblical Families board. I'd invite you to tell us all a little bit about yourself.

What makes you interested in Biblical marriage?

Also they have a really strong womens' meeting and fellowship group here which my wife loves.
 
Good question.

The word "polygamy" isn't actually quite right, and that needs to be explained. What "polygamy" means is any sort of multiple-person relationship of three or more, which includes a lot of relationships which are clearly sin according to the Bible and the Bible's clear definitions.

Biblical marriage is one man and one woman. Marriage can only be between one man and one woman. The Bible shows us many families in which the man has multiple marriages, or multiple covenants with separate women. So, if a man has two wives, he has two marriages with separate covenants.

This is the best Biblical definition of what is called "polygyny," rather than "polygamy." So polygamy is a larger umbrella term, but it is a worldly, non-Biblical term. "Polygyny" is the word we use, which is a much narrower term which can only include one man.

It's a huge topic and once someone begins to understand the reality of the difference between the way marriages and relationships in the Bible are described - versus how we do things in the secular western world - the conversation just gets deeper. It's a huge subject and for me it has brought a lot of peace when realizing that the modern western church has been accidentally misinforming us all for so long.

Welcome, there is a lot for you to read on this site.
 
Shalom and welcome
 
Welcome make sure in everything including your studies to pray and read the Bible. I would suggest keep communication to only this site and contact the womens group chat.
 
Oh Lily! You know how I feel about you. I hate the fact that you were humiliated in public here. Please forgive the wrongdoing of my fellow BFers here, and for any part I had to play in it, I also ask for your forgiveness.

Apparently I missed out on some sort of drama.

There are advantages to bumbling along in my own world.

I didn't miss out on it, and parts of it, I wish never happened, and other parts, I'm glad it did! My @lily4love will be hard to get over, much more difficult than the ones we suspect are fraudulent.

If she was truly interested in you, she would left you with contact data to speak outside this forum.

I left her with contact data. I believe she is really hurt right now, and it will take quite some time for her to come around. She WAS truly interested in me; that much I can say for sure!
