The Reality of Henosis, of Oneness with every sexual partner.
Why were men willing to pay a Bride Price for a Godly Virgin? I do believe there is a very strong DNA component to a virgin’s first exposure a man’s seed. Her own DNA, especially the very sensitive reproductive components, changes in some way that makes them one. These changes have two main effects: as…

Patriarchy or Tyranny
“[Doug] Wilson has even written that if a white girl in his church wanted to marry a black man, but her father refused to give his permission, he and the elders would order the father to approve, and if he didn’t, they would excommunicate him.” Weakening the authority of the patriarch and his family has…

The Delta is that difference between the standard God has set for us in His LawWord and where we actually are in our current state of sanctification. The standard God has set for our sanctification is not to be confused with our salvation which is already perfectly achieved and guaranteed to believers by the resurrection of Christ. The standard…

Is Tom Promoting Polyandry?
Objection: The following verse speaks metaphorically of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is rejoiced over by God as His bride and His bride is married to men. According to Tom’s logic, this supports a wife getting husbands! In other words, it overturns the law against adultery. In addition, those husbands are the woman’s own sons! In other words…

“Polygamy is not a sin but monogamy is the ideal”
Another similar objection I have encountered is the claim that, “Though the Bible permits polygamy, monogamy is the ideal.” This argument is not so much an “objection” against polygamy since it concedes the essential point, as it is a subversion of the biblical concept of morality. Morality is that which is permitted by Divine Law;…

Strict monogamy and the doctrine of evolution are fellow travellers and not-so-strange bedfellows. An unspoken presupposition in our anti-polygynous church culture (anything but polygyny!) is that, “Yes you can find polygyny in Scripture, but that was in the primitive bad old days of a proto-Christian society when the great patriarchs of old were still living…

New Covenant Patriarchy, i.e. Theonomic Polygyny; Not Just Polygyny
Like all of God’s institutions – in civil, church, and family life, marriage outside of God’s LawWord has failure built in. We must live theonomic lives to be blessed by God. What is amazing about our society’s divorce rate is that it is not higher considering the near universal hostility to any overt proclamation of…

Tom Shipley responding to Jay Adams: “The doctrine of monogamy is treated as an unquestionable premise and first principle.” The commentators treat polygyny as a pariah that must be avoided at all costs.

Politics is religion applied to economics. No wonder then that the doctrine of monogamania has economic and political implications that, when understood, make our problems and their solutions clear.
