What is it that many single Christian men
fear so greatly?
- They fear falling into
temptation
because they do not have a mate who can fulfill their desires.
- They fear being alone in the world
because there is none who shares all the things that they hold most
dear.
What is it some married Christian
men fear
so greatly?
- They fear falling into
temptation
because they do not have a mate who can fulfill their desires.
- They fear being alone in the world
because there is none who shares all the things that they hold most
dear.
What do they have in
common?
- Both these men
fear the same thing.
- Loneliness and
unsatisfied desires.
- Both these men
have the same lacking.
- A woman who can
satisfy their desires and need for companionship.
- Both these men
are at risk of falling into temptation.
- The temptation of
extramarital relations.
What
is the solution? For both
men the solution is to take sufficient wives to prevent loneliness and
unsatisfied desires from leading them into temptation. Paul stated, "It
is better to marry than to burn." Paul did not qualify this statement
by saying that it applied only to single men. The fact that this wise saying, "It is
better to marry than to burn" occurred in a paragraph written to the
unmarried and widows does not change the truthfulness of the saying nor
does it limit to whom it can be applied. Paul was a Jew and well aware
of the teachings of the Bible (which at that time included only the Old
Testament - Torah.) The Torah did not forbid a married man from
marrying an available woman. Paul did not say, "It is better for a
single person to marry than to burn." Moreover, Paul did not say "it is
better to commit adultery than to burn" which is what would occur if a
woman were to be taken by more than her one and only living husband
according to the laws of the Torah which he knew so well. He wrote the letter in which this was found
to the all the Christians at Corinth which included all of the men in
Corinth, not just the single men. In most cases, there is nothing
lacking in the first wives of men that have a need for additional
wives. They have all the wondrous attributes that God has bestowed on
them. It is simply that God did not create a super race of women and
there are some men for whom one woman simply is not enough. In most
cases, there is nothing lacking in men who do not have a need for
additional wives. They simply have been created by God in such a way
that their lives are complete without additional wives. Some men
however are driven by the very nature that God placed in them to "go
therefore and multiply." Others are driven by that same nature that God
has endowed them with to have more physical exchange than is
comfortable for their current wife or wives, as the case may be. God
did not create such men to have just one wife. He created them to have
many wives and many children. For them not to follow this path is to
follow a path of asceticism, a path of self denial. Shame on you if you
dare judge men who have been given by God an extra high level of
testosterone; Men in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, and older, who feel no
less desire for women then they did when they were 20 and whose drive
in their 20s was triple the average man's drive. You cannot imagine
what it is like to go through life with the drive of an 18 or 20 year
old and be yoked with someone who has one seventh that drive. We are
called upon to judge righteously. Make a right judgment concerning
this. The Bible allows a man to have more than one wife and there are
ways the law permits this as well. See our legal section
concerning this.

Prince of Sumba, Husband to Many Wives
This Book presents Christian Polygamy
Theology in the
form of a novel. It contains nearly all of Pastor Don Milton's
teachings on polygamy and many arguments favoring polygamy that you
will not read elsewhere. The story will introduce you to some
interesting characters who defend polygamy. Meet Prince John, the
Christian polygamist, who grew
up in a land where no one would ever have guessed that the rest of the
Christian world was against polygamy. Meet the Christian missionary,
Ishmael David (Ish), sent to witness to polygamists. Laugh and cry, as
you see the lengths to which the single Christian ladies go to convince
Ish to take them for wives. Meet Mary, Ish's loyal wife, who struggles
with her new discoveries about polygamy. Her reactions are both
humorous and endearing. Listen as each character presents Christian
theology and history as never before. A Christian Evangelical End Times
Novel. This novel contains over 385 biblical and historical footnotes.
Note: This book is NOT about Mormon or FLDS polygamy.

A Dialog on Polygamy
First Reprint of this Rare Book in 273
Years!
In, A Dialog on Polygamy, the Famous
Italian Reformer;
Bernardino Ochino, presents both sides of the polygamy argument, and
it's
HILARIOUS! Ochino plays the part of a sixteenth century priest, which
he was, while Telypolygamus plays the part of the advocate for
polygamy. On December 2, 1563, Ochino was exiled from Germany for
publishing this work. Some say the German Reformation ended that day.
He and his children were sent out into the harsh elements where three
of them died of the plague. Ochino died a year later.
In addition to the original translation, I've included my own modern
font version which includes many editorial changes. You'll notice that
I've introduced the nicknames Ochy and Tely for the characters. I find
this preferable to identifying them with letters as the original did.
If you're a purist,
please, read the old font version. To find the old font version, open
the book just beyond the middle. The pages are numbered the same in
both versions to make cross referencing easier.
Had Bernardino Ochino not been exiled for writing on polygamy, he might
have had more to say on the subject. Certainly there is more to say and
I have done so in many of my own books. If you enjoy dialogs such as
Ochino's, I've written a novel titled Prince of Sumba, Husband to Many
Wives. Its characters argue for and against polygamy, I must admit;
mostly for it.
