I am pregnant.....again.....with another brainchild of this webauthor. Feel free to glean whatever you would like from the following, plus pick and choose whatever you find useful, being aware that:
Eccl 12:12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
I love it.
In essence, be content with The HOLY BIBLE, as much as possible.
Because certain secular government bureaucrats, agents, demonic news perverts or pervertesses and religious deviates, along with satanic hypocrites have a problem with the "legality" (or, better yet: acceptibility) of multiple wives, and are quick to accuse and condemn with a scurrilous charge of: "bigamy," those men wanting to imitate the polygamous patriarchs of the Old Testament (like Jacob and David) and who are not what Saint Paul of the New Testament epistles of Timothy and Titus [1st Timothy 3:2 and 12, Titus 1:6] would consider bishops nor deacons nor elders have to use the terminology known as [non-State-registered]: "common-law" marriage when referring to live-in or other types of significant other [sexually-active] women permanently dedicated to their men in their lives, so that they are not guilty of being labeled nor arrested as "adulterers" and the women not labeled nor arrested as "fornicators." All this with or without "wedding" ceremonies as and for purportedly-"officialized" groom-and-bride (NOT bride-and-groom!) celebrations:
Lev 27:2 "Say to the people of Israel, When a man makes a special vow of persons to the LORD at your valuation,
Lev 27:3 then your valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
Lev 27:4 If the person is a female, your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
Lev 27:5 If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
Lev 27:6 If the person is from a month old up to five years old, your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
Lev 27:7 And if the person is sixty years old and upward, then your valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
Num 30:12 But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning her pledge of herself, shall not stand: her husband has made them void, and the LORD will forgive her.
Isa 3:12 My people--children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your leaders mislead you, and confuse the course of your paths.
1Cor 11:3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
1Tim 2:12 I allow no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
15 Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
Why the need of men to acquire and allocate additional women for sexual utilization in their lives? It is a logical and expected (though questionably expedient) result of feminist-sexist women chauvenistically manipulating their deprived husbands with prudist anti-fellatio-and-other frigidity and/or arrogant insubordination. At times, extended medical incapacity of a handicapped primary wife is a factor which unduly frustrates an erotically-eager husband. In any case, ponytail-less mopheaded or sleeveslessly-naked-armed or slackslessly-nude-legged or sockslessly-flip-flops-footed exhibitionist seduction by an outside woman or extramarital women enticing with misdressed immodesty should not be the cause of seeking and finding so-called "greener pastures" to graze in:
1Tim 2:9 ....also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in decent apparel....
What neither men nor women need is for women to become [non-married] "mistresses" who repeatedly have publicized or non-publicized sex with an already-married man while not being considered nor considering herself married to him!
Polygamous men of necessity have to classify their additional women as: concubines, while concubine women can only call their man: husband. When registering on State forms, and other forms relating to State forms, they would in all good conscience declare themselves "Single" as "legal" entities to avoid "legal" confusion and State-associated vulnerability (to divorce and child custody and alimony and social-worker supervision, interference, licensing and regulations) of aforementioned bureacrats, agents, deviates, and hypocrites...while in non-Government-registered real life they wear gold-band rings on the 4th fingers of their left hands and informally call themselves "concubines" to their neighbors....keeping in mind that what is "legal" is based not merely upon Scripture (to some extent) but - and this is the kicker - what the present traditions and whims of lawyer-and-judge change-their-mind humans are, which are constantly in a state of flux.
In the case of an older man having a much younger concubine, application of the term concubine is preferable to calling such a adult-"legal"-aged teen and slightly older woman someone's "child" or "minor" or "major" or "daughter" or even "sister:"
Gen 12:13 Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared on your account."
Gen 12:19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife, take her, and be gone."
Gen 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Gen 20:5 Did he not himself say to me, 'She is my sister'? And she herself said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this."
Gen 20:12 Besides she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Gen 26:7 When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister"; for he feared to say, "My wife," thinking, "lest the men of the place should kill me for the sake of Rebekah"; because she was fair to look upon.
Gen 26:9 So Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, she is your wife; how then could you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'"
Gen 28:9 Esau went to Ishmael and took to wife, besides the wives he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth.
Exo 6:20 Amram took to wife Jochebed his father's sister and she bore him Aaron and Moses, the years of the life of Amram being one hundred and thirty-seven years.
Lev 18:12 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister; she is your father's near kinswoman (i.e. your aunt).
Lev 18:9 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad.
Song 4:9 You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride, you have ravished my heart with a glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.
Song 4:10 How sweet is your love, my sister, my bride! how much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
Song 4:12 A garden locked is my [virgin and non-promiscuous and reserved] sister, my bride, a garden locked, a fountain sealed.
Song 5:1 I come to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gather my myrrh with my spice, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink: drink deeply, O lovers!
Song 5:2 I slept, but my heart was awake. Hark! my beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night."
Song 8:8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister, on the day when she is spoken for?
"No breasts?" "When she is spoken for?" So much for child porn, and underage marriage:
1Cor 7:36 (KJ21) But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age and need so require, let him do what he will--he sinneth not; let them marry.
All sexual connections, ranging from hand-holding and kissing and necking and petting - to coital copulation genital insertions - should be consentual and never forced against anyone's expressed will and desire:
Philemon 1:14 but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own free will.
And in the case of abductions or rape - particularly concerning pre-teen or pre-pubescent female humans, choose which of the following contextual Old-Testament Pentateuch commands of the LORD expressed in written form by the author Moses applies:
Deut 11:22 "If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman; so you shall purge the evil from Israel.
23 "If there is a betrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her,
24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbor's wife; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.
25 "But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.
26 But to the young woman you shall do nothing; in the young woman there is no offense punishable by death, for this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor;
27 because he came upon her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her.
28 "If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,
29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her; he may not put her away all his days.
Wasn't there a bizarre case recently in California about some 8-year-old captured and kept captive in some guy's back yard for 18 years, or something like that? [Who knows what strange stories the network media is always trying to concoct for whatever shock effect cause for whatever devious purposes, and what they both misrepresent and omit pertaining to actual details?] The kid turned teen allegedly never went to school nor saw a doctor. How about never even watching boobtube TV - who knows? Talk about a willing gal - purportedly impregnanted and giving birth twice no less - being taken care of so well under difficult circumstances for so long! Beats the heck out of Tom Hanks surviving as a Castaway on some noninhabited Pacific island.
While we're on the subject of "child-bride" "robbing-the-cradle" too-early sex, let not gals wait to long to get married by delaying matrimony watching televised-twit, feminist-sexist, jaws-flapping, newsanchor/newscaster chauvenits [sp OK], or with educational or occupation pursuits....so they do not subject themselves to the temptations of masseuse and escort harlotry or adult-friend-finder prostitution:
Gen 38:14 [Tamar] put off her widow's garments, and put on a [prostitutes] veil, wrapping herself up, and sat [as a roadside harlot] atthe entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage.
Ruth 1:13 would you therefore wait till they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, for it is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of the LORD has gone forth against me."
1Tim 5:14 (KJ21) It is my will therefore that the younger women......[The Greek-Text word: cheras is not used here, but rather the Greek-Text word: ne(o)teras for younger women - and any presumed "context" does not abrogate nor overrule the Greek-Text word itself!].....marry, bear children, guide the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
Additional concubines require additional financial, food, medical, shopping center, and other care plus added responsibilities for the man involved who must then share his sensual attention and vigor with more than one woman:
Mal 2:14 You ask, "Why does he not?" Because the LORD was witness to the covenant between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.
Mal 2:15 Has not the one God made and sustained for us the spirit of life? And what does he desire? Godly offspring. So take heed to yourselves, and let none be faithless to the wife of his youth.
1Tim 5:8 If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an disbeliever.
1Pe 3:7 Likewise you husbands, live considerately with your wives, bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.
Now, you might be wondering how best to designate who is who, regarding relatives of concubines.
If the romantic relationship involves merely internet intercourse, the term would be: webwives or webconcubines.
But actual common-law concubinal relationships which are more than existing in cyberspace involving real-live and real-life people require differenent terminology, as for example: virtual relatives, such as virtual father-in-law (relating to the concubine's dad), virtual mother-in-law (relating to the concubine's mom), virtual sister-in-law or brother-in-law (relating to the concubine's siblings), and so on. If divorced people are involved, the additional word added is: step before the terms (e.g. step-virtual father/mother/sister/brother-in-laws).
Blood relatives are not "in-law" relatives, while marriage-by-State-registration association relatives are "in-law" relatives (such as father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, uncle-in-law, aunt-in-law, nephew-in-law and niece-in-law). When divorced people are involved, the additional word added is: step before the terms.
Need more incentive to "get it on" and "score" with the woman and women of your choice? To not simply in-your-dreams mouth the intimate and tender f-word but additionally "walk the talk"?
Consider God's Genesis chapter 1 Divine Directive to our primal parents and their progenie both an embedding of young-creation scientifically-reproductive biological-drive instinct plus a Divine command to: "Be fruitful and multiply" - while simultaneously screwing the thought of venereal abortion homicide.
Enjoy.
