A very challenging interview with Gene Porter about what Scripture says regarding marriage and some of the eschatological and theological implications.

See blog for the recently published second interview and objections dealt with, etc...

Interview (Prequel) on Gene Porter’s Podcast | natsab

This morning, I was excited to hear that Gene Porter posted a podcast we did recently. This is actually the first of a several part series! I have thoroughly enjoyed several very long interactions with Gene as he has asked hard questions and been wil

How do we make sense of the Torah’s polygamy regulations in light of the Bible’s overall condemnation of this practice? https://davidwilber.com/articl....es/understanding-the

We understand that there is no condemning of polygyny.

I've wanted to get your response to this argument.

The penalty for breaking Lev 18:18 is to be executed or removed from Israel (see verse 29). This would mean that there are no polygamous men within Israel under Moses. Yet Moses still wrote about how to deal with children of multiple wives.

The counter argument based off the "price of a harlot" does not seem to be a fair one even though harlotry is also worthy of death, because the price paid for the harlot (e.g. a kid of the flock) would still be around even after the harlot was killed. That animal could not be brought to the tabernacle, so the existence of this statute in not negated because harlots are put to death.

On the other hand, those who break Lev 18:18 would have been purged from Israel under Moses, meaning that the "who can I make the heir" question in Deuteronomy 21:15-17 could never be encountered. It seems like taking Lev 18:18 to be a prohibition of polygamy invalidates other parts of the law.

(Plus Moses should have executed or expelled Caleb from Israel as he had multiple concubines, but he did not. Makes it seem like Moses interpreted this verse differently than you do.)

What are your thoughts?

I gotta take a moment to celebrate and commemorate this day. This is the first time I've ever read my bible for 365 days in a row. I've gotten close before, but life has always somehow got in the way a day or two.

But the best thing about 2020 is that it slowed my life down, and made me focus a lot more of my heart and energy towards God's word in a way that I haven't felt since I first became a believer many years ago.

Aah, well done. :dizzy:

That is a BIG step, one I sadly haven't been able to achieve. I try to get some spiritual food each day, but many a day it is from videos.

As you say, there is always something that gets in the way.

That's awesome, well done! I have read it for 80% I think, and crisscrossed ?
