Part 2 is giving me a chance to talk about a rebuttal that I haven't brought up before: eating with thanksgiving. In 1 Timothy 4 Paul talks about there are those who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods. Then he goes to say that "everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving."

The part many who use this chapter to justify eating what God doesn't call food is that Paul specifically points out in verse 3 when talking about the abstinence he specifies "foods that God created".

God never changed what food was, as I have brought up in several other comics on the subject. What Paul is talking about here in 1 Timothy are people who say you can't even eat something God said you could. Much like the instance in Mark 7 where the Jews were challenging Yeshua on the fact that his disciples were eating without washing their hands. What they were eating was food and it was clean, the Jews thought if you didn't wash your hands it made it unclean, therefor not food. Yeshua clarified this isn't the case, much like Paul is doing here.

3 Easy Steps to Pray:

Step 1: Thank YHVH for Who He is:
(Enter His gates with thanksgiving: go into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His Name. (Psalm 100:4))

Step 2: Tell YHVH how you feel:
(Do not be anxious about anything; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to YHVH. And the peace of YHVH, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Yeshua HaMashiah. (Philippians 4: 6-7))

Step 3: Ask YHVH for His guidance:
(But when He, the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears and He will tell you what is yet to come. John 16:13))

This is a group for those who are interested in or curious about the following position:

- The Creator of all things created the woman, and marriage, by taking the woman out from the man, therefore:
- A woman becomes part of, and belonging to, the man whom she marries, therefore:
- Polygyny, a woman marrying a married man, or a man marrying more than one woman concurrently, does not violate the one-flesh bond of marriage, and is as innocent as any other marriage; however:
- A man having sexual relations with another man's wife, or a woman having sexual relations with a man other than a husband to whom she belongs, does indeed violate the one-flesh bond of marriage, and all who do such acts are despisers of God.
- The Scriptures of the Creator are preserved entirely inerrant and perfectly translatable from the time of their writing to the present day, and are the final authority on every matter.

If you believe in all these things, you are welcome to join the private group here: https://social.ttn.place/polygynyadvocates

Thought for today: Monday August 16: Glory

Grace is only the beginning of glory; and glory is grace perfected.

And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which last? (2 Cor. 3:11)

I pray Adonai Yeshua, that my life will reflect Your lasting glory for the sake of Your exaltation and my spiritual growth, amein
