I hate doing these. It is like selling yourself. LOL.
My name is AL and my wonderful wife of 10 years is Ellen. We met online in a chat room and married about a month after we met in chat. We met face to face for the first an hour before our wedding. We have 2 wonderful children ages 3 and 9. My wife came to me years ago about Polygamy said God had called us to it. I rejected that notion quickly but agreed to pray and seek God. I knew in my heart that seeking God I would prove her wrong. Wow was I shocked when I found God had truly called His people to walk in this. We have been rejected by friends and family for our belief in Godly bible based polygamy. MY wife and I have a large age difference but we know God chose us to be man and wife. After all age is just a number. I am 53 and my wife is 29. We would love to find a sisterwife that is Godly but not caught up in religious trappings. WE are open to a woman with children and a woman aged 25-45. But also a woman older or younger if God so desires. We have a ministry that we would like her to be a part of. We are not part of any denomination and mostly shun the church world. We were told we werent welcome at a church because we are an inter racial couple. If you would like to know more about us or our walk with the Lord feel free to ask.

thank you El works on Tuesday nights. But I will see if she will sign up. She prefers to email people
 
Welcome to BF AL and EL.
I have a question regarding your statement about a Godly woman that is not a religious woman.

The definition of religion that I usually operate on is the standard dictionary definition - "relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity".

I am just wondering what it means to you as it seems unlikely that one could be a Godly woman who is not devoted to an ultimate authority (God)?

I am not trying to be inflammatory, just curious about what you mean.

well to me religious and Godly do not usually go hand in hand. The Pharisees were very religious Muslims are very religious. Godly means to be like Jesus or be like our Father. I shun the church world because of the religiousity of it all. They for the most part teach the doctrines of men and demons and not the Godly things. Denominations are divisive and religious not Godly. Not wanting to argue just stating what I believe.

I think I got the jist of it. Pretty sure I agree with you too, just not tha way you worded it. :)
Anyway, by definition you are religious if you are Godly but you certainly don't have to be caught up in the trappings of religious actions and practices.
Being religious just means you believe in the ultimate authority which definately includes MANY non-Godly.
It's probably just semantics anyway. It is something I feel strongly about as I feel that often folks put religion in front of truth and relationship with the Lord and that has been creating some frustrations for me with my extended family in recent times. I will say though that I never saw the problem being that they were religious (believe in ultimate authority version) but that they made some particular version and practice their focus and their foundation for which they discover truths (which actually aren't but masquerade as such).

Thanks for the clarification. I will stop hijacking your welcome thread now, haha.

ok changed it to relgious trappings hope that clarifies it. You didnt hijack it I appreciate you pointing out confusion.
 
Welcome aboard, brother! My background is A/G and Pentecostal Church of God.
 
Hi ya, Al and crew!

Well brah, you have definitely smashed the poly ceiling, the age ceiling, the racial ceiling, and proly several more, including the Pharisee ceiling.

Looks like the Bib Fam site will be the best sandbox in which to play....

Welcome and shalom, and have fun storming the castle,

welcome Al,
we agree on the word "religious"
it seems to have evolved to describe someone who is focused on religion.
religion being the structure of our relationship with our deity.

i would rather focus on, and fellowship with people who focus on, a relationship with our Creator and His son.
