Ok, so like I've read everything I can on this website. A friend of mine even pointed me to all these articles inside this site and urged me to dive in and explore this more. So here I am! If this is true I have missed a bunch of information my whole life it seems and Im now on a totally new road. OMG, like so many questions swirling through my head.

Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.

Melody,
I'm sure if there is anything you are struggling with, any of us ladies here at BF would be more than happy to assist you as you sort it all out. I know it can be very difficult to sort out all the information and have it make sense, especially in the beginning. I know that there are several here that were instrumental in helping me when I first began my launch into this new-found area of the Bible. It was a totally foreign idea to me and some of these ladies were an absolute God-send.
If there is anything you need, please feel free to contact any of us. I look forward to getting to know you better in the future. Also, a great way to get to know women is the ladies chat on Tuesday nights at 7:30 pm Eastern.

Hi Melody, Tues. night is great and you will meet wonderful ladies. I am
also relatively new and I read everything. Compare scripture and let the Word of God show you the truth.
Go to resources and read the articles and you will notice they take you to the Word.
I have a whole new world open up and a chance to be part of a truly biblical family and I am staying prayerful and taking it slow .
See you Tues. night dede

MO.Nurse,
Ok, i've looked over the resources page and began to read some of the articles written in that section. The one on the history of how this view died out made a lot of sense to me. But I've always been told too that those who believed this were a cult. Also, I've never heard of seminary trained people teaching this view until getting into those articles. OH so many questions still to ask not sure where to begin! I think it must have been those articles there my friend was referring to as she said she got a lot from several of them. What is tuesday night? What is that?

Hey, the tuesday night chat with the ladies is on the first page of the forum. just click on it and you will be on the chat. It is at 7:30 pm eastern time.
As Julie said, first and foremost, it is about seeking first the Kingdom of God. The rest will come in the Lords time.
Keep searching and reading and may God bless your search for the Truth.

i'm with you melody. I definitely have swirling ideas too and dont have like a bunch of timeto just read 
Melody and Chocolate girl,
I am so glad you are willing to "shoot the rapids" (as far as having your whole concept of marriage overturned is concerned.) I know I speak for all of us when I say that sometimes it is going to seem like your "raft has flipped," but if you are tied in, it will right itself and you and your "mates" (as in the Aussie sense) will spit out the stream and yell "whoo hoo!!" For me, it took several years to get to the place where I really saw for myself that plural marriage was indeed in the Bible and was just as honorable as mono marriage. I was all alone in my bed in Iraq when I had my big breaththrough, with just me and God. Becoming born again was the same way, all alone, in my bed, seeking Him. My point is that I agree with Julie B that this is first and foremost about your relationship with your Redeemer, and if you make seeking HIM and not a system of thought or marriage the most important thing, you'll do ok, even when you are feeling shaky.
I am more thankful than I can say that I have fellow Bib Fam "raft mates" on this journey, and I hope they bring as much joy and wisdom to you as they have to me.It was such a relief when I met Nathan and Julie the first time to find out they didn't have three heads,
but were just regular folks! :lol: Sitting in their kitchen and being around their really quite regular LIFE spoke volumes to me, and I hope we can be that for you as well.
Let me add my name to the list if you ever want to talk, and I hope you can start coming to the conferences. There is one next week and there is going to be a Women's Conference in October. Oh, and Melody, if you have been confused by all the theological shoot outs, just remember, not one argument is a new one, this stuff has been bandied around for centuries, and there will come a day when we all agree because we will "know even as we are known." You can count on that! Chew the meat, spit out the bones, be honest, seek God, love Him, His people and the lost, you'll do just fine. Welcome aboard, dears!
