Polygamy

Polygamy!    Is it morally acceptable to have 2 wives? To answer this question, we need to draw a proper distinction between that which is moral & that which is wise.  Matthew 5:27–28 (ESV): You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. As you can see, in the Sermon on the Mount, adultery is not defined merely by the fact that he or she is not your spouse. Adultery is defined by lustful intent. What is lust? Lust is, at its root, the failure to love God over & above everything & everyone else & your neighbor before yourself.  Loving yourself more than God & others is definitional to lust, & lust is what underwrites sexual sin - not the mere sex/gender of your target &/or the lack of marriage certificate.    Using Matt. 5:19 - or any text - to move the moral grounds of moral guil...

How Witchcraft & Sorcery Parody Moral Government 101

From Got Questions.org: Like the whole book of Psalms, the psalms of lament follow a pattern that begins with suffering and ends with glory. Usually, these songs start on a negative, complaining note, but they end on a positive, faith-filled note.


Suzerain Covenant Outline


Shema

Historical Prologue 

General Stipulations 

Specific Stipulations 

Covenant Renewal

Document Clause 

Witnesses

Victory Statement 


A Witch’s/Witchcraft Contractual Malediction reverses the outline of a suzerain covenant & is intended by the user to parody a suzerain covenant. 


Victory Statement 

  • Imprecation(s) delighting in the fall/suffering/destruction of their enemies. This sometimes gets quite specific.

Witnesses 

  • Names one or more of their enemies & even themselves (especially for those witches / sorcerers for whom wearing their personal &/or communal  suffering is a badge of (unhonor, dishonor, &tc. 

Document Clause 

  • The witch(es)’ real &/or imagined sacrifice.   It isn’t unusual for them to sacrifice something that they believe they own but do not.  

Covenantal Renewal 

  • Includes a chaining clause in which they voluntarily or involuntarily chain themselves to one or more of their own &/or pseudodeities.  Sometimes they will even impose this chain upon their target pseudodeity pseudodeities as a parody of how God Himself imposes His covenant on us.  

Specific Stipulations 

  • Specific manifesto that often includes a list of specific people, places, things, &tc that they have either stolen already or plan or desire or plan to desire to threaten,
  • steal, destroy, own, conquer, enslave, abuse, etc. (once that know this/that/it/them/&tc.

General Stipulations 

  • General Manifesto that often includes a list of specific people, places, things, &tc that they have either stolen already or plan or desire or plan to desire to threaten, steal, destroy, own, conquer, enslave, abuse, etc. (once they/that/them know this/that/it/them/&tc)

Historical Prologue 

  • Can be of any length; Might or might not be objectively true. 
  • At times waxes “Yea Verily” (especially in Pseudo-Mormon Witchcraft/Sorcery)

Shema 

  • “I am / AM an Exhalted Man, etc.” 
  • Usually is about the witch/witches’/et.al’s (alleged/real/imagined (pseudo) glory. 


These sort of prayers sometimes seek to parody, in addition to one another, the text of one or more bona fide suzerain covenants, up to & including those in one or more testaments of the Bible, &/or Magna Carta, &/or any number of documents, even abstract thoughts, that are written in suzerain covenant/treaty form.    Since the prayer/spell/malediction parody’s a legal treaty/legislative form, it qualifies as (un/anti-legislation) that parodies the 3fold use of both the Law & Gospel & operates along multiple levels of (immoral/amoral/anti-moral) government.

Favorite Fallacies & Homosexuality

Thesis - The tradition bound view on homosexuality commits a number of logical, epistemic, & exegetical fallacies.  1-  Is - Ought Fallacy  - Human anatomy is said to provide    a blueprint for sexual ethics.  We examined this in my previous article.  A moral “ought” is derived from a physical “is.”  The disputant makes an illicit leap from what is to what ought to be. A classic example is the way some homosexuals defend their sexual ethics by appealing to their biology/genetics.  2 -  Vicious Circularity   - Human anatomy & physiology are raised to the status due a non-arbitrary epistemic warrant.    A non-arbitrary epistemic warrant must be necessary, reasoned, & principled.  In truth, the body is unnecessary to deduce sexual ethics. By way of contrast, God’s nature is definitionally necessary, insofar as God is a necessary being, &, since God is infinite, eternal, & unchangeable in being, w...

On “A Christian Defense of Real Marriage”

The Christian Post article is here .  In the view of mainstream culture today, there is no such thing as a principled case for the Christian view of marriage that limits it to one man and one woman. Opposition to same-sex marriage, in this view, can only spring from bigotry, hate, or fear.    It can also spring from recognition that the defenders of traditional marriage do so on shaky biblical grounds, insofar as their defense of the traditional view of marriage proceeds from poor biblical hermeneutics & unsound reasoning principles.     For example, Robert Gagnon writes: By “against nature” Paul meant that the evidence from the material structures of creation—here the complementary embodied character of maleness and femaleness—gives clear evidence of God’s will for human sexual pairing. Some have argued that this could not have been what Paul intended by his nature argument, despite Paul’s clear statement in Rom 1:19-20 that such matters are “transpare...
