As the header & my initial post suggests, my point was only that polygyny
did exist in “biblical times” in historic Israel. I am not saying that the
bible encourages it... only that it was not uncommon.

Well... uh... since the quote you used really doesn’t seem to imply a
polygynal relationship between the bridegroom and the virgins unless taken
out of context, shouldn’t you have found a better quote, unless you were
making a joke? I mean, as a joke it worked really well...
|
What does it imply to you?
|
That you were making a joke? Great! A joke it was.

Ha! That’s awesome. Who edited the text? The same people who run Fox news?
The fact that they cut out “feast” from “marriage feast” is hilarious. I’m
almost suprised they didn’t cut out words from intermittant sentences and
mash them together in a Simpson-esque manner.
|
Do you think that negates my point?
|
Negates your joke? By no means! Does it negate your “point” that polygyny was
still common in NT times? No, but it unless it was solely a joke, your use of
the quote had about as much relevance as you talking about which brand of
charcoal you prefer-- short of the fact that it was actually a biblical
reference.
