P.S.
And the authors of that doctrine from the kingdom of darkness are none other than the Roman and Presbyterian clergy...
King Solomon, who was neither a Westerner nor a Christian, had many wives. And, as the Bible relates, his many wives were the cause of him abandoning the worship of God and sacrificing to idols.
Moses is the first philosopher who said our rights do not come from an earthly monarch.
Moses was not a philosopher and he never mentioned "rights" because he had no notion of such a concept.
Moses was the foundation of Western Civilization.
One would have to radically alter the historical notion of "Western Civilization" to arrive at that conclusion.
Everything is in Genesis, it encompasses all things.
It does not encompass Moses, who is unmentioned in it.
The Ten Commandments were the rights of man given to Moses.
You have a lot to learn. Genesis is all things, it is the beginning of all things.
The Lord shows us in Genesis that monogamy was the condition of our first parents before they encountered the serpent. The Lord tells us in the Gospel of Matthew that monogamy is His plan and that divorce is ungodly.
Your grasp of Scripture and of doctrine is as shaky as your grasp of history.
All of our laws come from the Ten Commandments, it is even depicted on the U.S. Supreme Court at the very peak of the building for a reason.
You are just looking for some kind of ecclesiastic dominance, which is a doctrine of spiritual darkness written by men and does not come from Providence or evidence in Nature.
The rights men have by the law of nature are all in Genesis...
Yet they mention no "rights" of any kind while explicitly mentioning obligations and prohibitions. Rights are about what someone may do, not what they are forbidden to do or are obligated to do.
You have a lot to learn.
Admittedly. Sadly, you have nothing to teach.
Genesis is all things, it is the beginning of all things.
So the Lord was mistaken or trying to confuse us by giving us further Scripture?
The only sensible thing you have said...
"Doctrine" is the creation of men, we also know it as dogma, it is written by authors who dwell in the darkness and solitudes.
Like I said, you are making all the wrong arguments...
The Israelites deposed God and were given an earthly monarch. The churches further compounded the heresy and took for themselves what God had given to man.
The authors of that spiritual darkness were none other than the Roman and Presbyterian clergy.
Man is fallen and imperfect?
You interpretations are also...
I'll "piggy-back" on Wideawake's comment.
Read the word's of Jesus in Matthew 19 -
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
The Lord made his intention very clear. Marriage is one man and one woman. Many prominent biblical figures failed in this matter. However, God did not sanction this sin; but he did work through their disobedience.
The moral law that is supposed to govern civil society, and which is supposed to provide the foundation of our laws is indeed the Decalogue. All talk of rights presupposes the existence of morally responsible citizens - but the Ten Commandments do not discuss rights.
The State should be subsidizing almost nothing in my opinion. Especially not any form of social welfare.
As long as they can pay for their wives and their offspring I care not how many they have of either.
I will save you the trouble. The name is Jeffers and he's going to prison for a very, very long time for his crimes. This inconvenient fact puts the lie to some of the statements you've made here.
And if you have personal knowledge of child rape and a conspiracy to cover it up I suggest you contact your State Attorney General and the FBI immediately. Failure to do so may possibly put you in legal jeopardy. It would certainly make you complicit on a moral level.
I don't believe in the fantasy known as "private judgment" and would never offer an interpretation of Scripture if I thought that it was my own idea.
What I have presented is two thousand years of Christian scriptural interpretation. If you have a problem with it, you will need to come up with more than bizarre claims about Moses being a philosopher of political rights and monogamy being an invention of the 16th century.
The Ten Commandments are all about rights and inheriting God’s Kingdom... without which, you will have no rights for eternity...
The Ten Commandments are directly from Coelum Empyreum...
“Morals” are a deceptive replacement for the “avoidance of sin.”
Yet another doctrine of spiritual darkness...
the apostle to the apostles — I think that was the phrase I was misremembering.
However, not all accounts come from the Gospels - there are other texts written later or at the same time which expand her role.
In any case, I find this fascinating. If you like: here’s a bit of info I found which further explains Mary’s part in Bublical history beyond what is in the cannonized gospels:
Saint Mary Magdalene

“And who knows how many Mother In Laws?”
That is a horror story. Steven King couldn’t come up with a better plot line.
I can’t be any more exact than this:
1 man + 1 woman= civilization
Any other equation equals barbarism.
It is true in the cults but not inherently true. Consenting adults should have the freedom to enter any polyamourus relationship of thier choosing.
