It's hard for me to care as much00:00:01
anymore. I used to hit this issue hard00:00:03
on polygyny00:00:05
>> um with the multiple wives thing. And00:00:07
you're right, it's not biblical and it's00:00:09
completely immoral and it's totally00:00:10
unjustified. Morality is defined by00:00:12
scripture and the law of God has not00:00:15
declared polygyny sin. Therefore, it is00:00:17
moral. And God has participated in it.00:00:19
Mr. Wilson, he he has participated in00:00:22
giving men wives in the biblical00:00:24
narrative. God doesn't sin. He's holy.00:00:27
Be careful about your statements because00:00:30
you are declaring not only the00:00:31
patriarchs to be immoral, incontinent00:00:34
perverts, but you're declaring God to be00:00:38
those things. May it never be. God00:00:41
forbid that idea. God is holy and moral.00:00:45
And you need to watch your statements,00:00:48
my friends. Their implications are00:00:50
important. Jesus said, Andrew, Jesus00:00:52
said that we are going to give an00:00:54
account for every careless word we00:00:56
speak. I know you do a lot of shows. I00:00:58
know you do a lot of debating, but your00:01:00
careless words, you're going to give an00:01:02
account for them. You got to repent and00:01:04
stop just saying whatever comes to mind.00:01:06
Hey, it's Rich Tidwell and I'm back with00:01:07
another response video. This time with00:01:10
the Timcast crew. They had Andrew Wilson00:01:13
on as a guest and they discussed my00:01:16
plural family and my position on00:01:18
polygyny. And what's amazing about this00:01:20
as we walk through this video is that00:01:22
they didn't cite one scripture uh and00:01:24
they opened up with two logical00:01:26
fallacies and two cognitive biases. In00:01:30
other words, they did not even present00:01:33
my case correctly. I have to hand it to00:01:35
Ben Shapiro. At least he read some of my00:01:38
statements and showed a clip of me00:01:40
preaching. These guys just really00:01:42
created a straw man and shot in the dark00:01:44
right away. Uh, I really kind of00:01:46
expected more from Andrew Wilson because00:01:48
he's a professional debater, which by00:01:50
the way, Andrew, if you see this video,00:01:52
I would love to debate you on the00:01:53
Whatever podcast or on Timcast,00:01:56
wherever, whoever will host us, I would00:01:58
absolutely debate you on the topic of00:02:00
polygyny. So, friends, please make sure00:02:02
that he sees this video, share it with00:02:04
him. We want to discuss these things.00:02:06
This needs to be brought to the00:02:08
forefront of conversation because our00:02:10
birth rates in the West right now are at00:02:13
1.6 6 births per woman and the truth is00:02:16
we need to be at 2.1. So this is not a00:02:18
small matter. Polygyny is genuinely an00:02:21
answer to that crisis. We need to00:02:23
discuss its biblical lawfulness and how00:02:26
it can be applied in the west. Now if00:02:28
you don't know, I have two wives and I00:02:30
also have eight children. Uh my second00:02:32
wife just welcomed her first baby, which00:02:35
is my eighth, our daughter Grace. I00:02:37
shared a photo of her online. If you00:02:40
don't follow me on Twitter or now X uh00:02:43
or Instagram, please do and you'll be00:02:46
able to keep up with our family. All00:02:47
right, we're going to dive into the00:02:49
video. I'm really excited with you guys.00:02:51
Let's get into it. [music]00:02:59
Now, just like in the Ben Shapiro00:03:00
response video, I'm going to be pausing00:03:02
pretty frequently as we walk through00:03:04
this because they make a ton of false00:03:07
claims and each one needs to be00:03:08
addressed. However, if you would like to00:03:10
see the original video uninterrupted, I00:03:13
will have it linked in the description00:03:14
below. Let's jump right into it. A00:03:17
Protestant pastor says that polygamy is00:03:20
biblical and that it was divinely00:03:23
ordained. I've been seeing this all over00:03:24
Twitter today. I don't know if you guys00:03:25
have have noticed this at all. What a00:03:28
great story. This guy's not backing down00:03:30
from his claim that he could have00:03:31
multiple wives.00:03:33
>> I'm glad he believes it's a great story.00:03:35
Thanks, buddy. Rich Tidewell, a pastor00:03:38
in Canton, Missouri, has sparked an00:03:40
online debate about the acceptance of00:03:41
polygamy in Christianity and whether or00:03:43
not it is biblically justified. He says,00:03:45
"I have two beautiful wives. To the00:03:48
expected amount of backlash, he recently00:03:50
made an announcement on his Instagram00:03:51
page that his second wife is expecting00:03:53
his eighth child." All right, this is00:03:55
kind of what I was saying earlier, even00:03:56
though obviously we disavow this guy's00:03:58
not talking about real Christianity00:03:59
there. Okay, and we're off. Uh, this00:04:03
first statement, this is not real00:04:05
Christianity. This is known as a no true00:04:07
Scotsman fallacy. Uh it's presented when00:04:10
someone wants to state, "Oh, this isn't00:04:12
real Christianity because the majority00:04:15
operates this way. Status quo does not00:04:17
prove real Christianity." Case in point,00:04:19
Martin Luther in the Reformation um00:04:22
believed that clergy could marry. The00:04:25
majority believed that clergy could not00:04:27
marry. Martin Luther went ahead and got00:04:29
married. And yes, of course, he is still00:04:32
a genuine Christian. So, we're not able00:04:34
to say that, oh, you're not a real00:04:36
Scotsman if you put sugar uh in your00:04:38
oatmeal. You're supposed to put butter00:04:40
and salt in your oatmeal. That doesn't00:04:42
make someone not a Scotsman just because00:04:45
they put sugar instead of salt in their00:04:47
oatmeal. So, it's really important to00:04:49
understand these things because a lot of00:04:51
these pop up during I'm not going to00:04:52
point out every single one, but you're00:04:54
not off to a good start uh if you start00:04:57
with a no true Scotsman. Uh and then00:04:59
they're immediately going to present a00:05:01
straw man as well. Let's continue on.00:05:03
>> There was a time when even the00:05:04
barbarians wanted children. Um he says,00:05:06
"I have two beautiful wives." Tidewell00:05:08
wrote in a long entry. "We are thrilled00:05:09
for what the Lord has done for our00:05:11
family." All right. So firstly, I I00:05:15
don't know what his argument is, but I00:05:17
Okay, this is actually really important.00:05:19
It It comes at you fast. Okay. I don't00:05:22
know what his argument is. Okay. So, if00:05:26
you don't know my argument, you can't00:05:27
steal man it, and you're not going to00:05:29
properly dismantle it. So, you're going00:05:31
to straw man, which is exactly what he's00:05:32
about to do. It's known as a straw man00:05:34
fallacy. Uh, and he's, this is actually00:05:37
going to lead to a Dunning Krueger00:05:38
effect where they're just super00:05:40
confident in all of their statements.00:05:42
So, I really would encourage you, both00:05:44
those watching and also the Tim Cast00:05:46
crew here that that I'm responding to.00:05:49
Uh, this is not a great way to start off00:05:50
debates. It's actually a really weak00:05:52
position to start with a no true00:05:54
Scotsman and then follow it right up00:05:56
with a straw man, Dunning Krueger, and00:05:58
also a confirmation bias. just not00:06:01
strong. I want to show you Proverbs00:06:03
18:13, this is the English standard,00:06:06
says this, if one gives an answer before00:06:08
he hears, it is his folly and shame. So00:06:11
Solomon, wisest man uh ever to live00:06:15
apart from Jesus Christ himself. And00:06:17
Solomon makes this very clear statement00:06:20
and he says, "If somebody gives an00:06:23
answer before they even hear the00:06:24
argument, it's their folly and shame."00:06:26
And that's the truth. I'm literally00:06:28
about to rip apart every single thing00:06:30
they say because they didn't take the00:06:32
time to actually hear me out or read00:06:35
anything that I had written on my00:06:37
website at richtildwall.com00:06:39
or to listen to any of my statements.00:06:41
They just have a cognitive bias which00:06:44
results in a prejudice against polygyny.00:06:47
um and they're not willing to hear00:06:48
anything in opposition because the truth00:06:51
is if you start to believe that polygyny00:06:53
is righteous. Uh just look, I've had00:06:56
literally millions of people uh00:06:59
encounter my family this past week and00:07:01
decide that they hated it. And you know,00:07:05
yeah, that's that's pretty substantial00:07:07
for anybody. I've been getting checked00:07:08
in on by friends and supporters and00:07:11
they're like, "How are you holding up?"00:07:12
And I'm like, the Holy Spirit, you know,00:07:15
when when you know that you're standing00:07:17
on the word of God, it actually doesn't00:07:19
matter how big the multitude is that00:07:21
comes after you. Let's go. Let's00:07:23
continue on.00:07:24
>> Assume he's actually probably making00:07:26
some version of the argument that the00:07:27
left will often make when we talk about00:07:29
marriage and biblical.00:07:31
>> Again, I assume that he's making this00:07:32
argument that's terrible00:07:34
>> morality, which is the Bible has00:07:35
polygamy in it. Not everything that the00:07:38
Bible uh describes is something it's00:07:40
recommending that you do. Okay. So,00:07:42
that's not my claim. Again, this is the00:07:44
problem with the straw man. The biblical00:07:46
narrative includes stories of murder.00:07:48
Uh, but murder is unlawful in God's law.00:07:51
So, I'm not just encountering stories00:07:53
and going, "Oh, it's it's okay to do00:07:56
this because I read it in the Bible."00:07:58
That again is a straw man and it's not00:08:00
the correct u presentation of my00:08:03
position. Um, now here's the deal. In 100:08:06
John 3:4, it says this. This is going to00:08:08
be pivotal to our entire conversation in00:08:11
this video. It says this, "Everyone who00:08:12
makes a practice of sinning also00:08:14
practices lawlessness. Sin is00:08:16
lawlessness." In fact, the King James00:08:18
would say sin is transgression of the00:08:20
law. In other words, it's a violation of00:08:22
the law. So either way, however you say00:08:24
it, sin is lawlessness or sin is00:08:26
transgression of the law. What it means00:08:28
is you're not abiding by the law of God.00:08:30
So the law of God is established. That's00:08:32
the divine law. Sin is to violate or00:08:36
deviate or ignore, which would be a00:08:38
violation, that law. Okay, that's the00:08:40
point that 1 John 3:4 makes. That's kind00:08:43
of a summary of how sin works. Then if00:08:45
we go to Romans 4:15, it says, "For the00:08:47
law brings wrath, but where there is no00:08:50
law, there is no transgression." Okay?00:08:54
So if there's no law in the word of God00:08:56
that prohibits a certain action, then00:08:58
there is no transgression if that action00:09:00
is committed. Now, people will say, "Oh,00:09:02
well, but this law is not there or that00:09:04
law is not there." That's typically not00:09:06
accurate. What I found every single time00:09:08
people are bringing up, uh, well,00:09:09
there's no law against this, there's no00:09:11
law against that. They're actually00:09:12
speaking from ignorance and they don't00:09:14
actually know. So, for example, if you00:09:16
go to Leviticus 18 gives a great example00:09:19
of all forms of fornication. Adultery is00:09:21
one form of fornication, but there's a00:09:23
bunch of different sexual immoralities00:09:25
listed there. So when the New Testament00:09:27
says sexual immoralities, it's really00:09:29
referring to Leviticus 18, Leviticus 20,00:09:32
some of the Deuteronomy chapters, uh,00:09:35
and it's referring to sexual sins that00:09:37
are explicitly listed. Things that00:09:39
aren't listed aren't sins. In fact,00:09:41
polygyny because it is not prohibited,00:09:45
but rather regulated, that actually00:09:47
indicates and verifies to the reader00:09:50
that it's lawful. Because homosexuality00:09:53
is prohibited, you cannot practice it.00:09:55
Polygyny is regulated which means you00:09:58
can practice it. That is a huge00:10:00
important understanding to have. So the00:10:02
Bible narrative includes polygyny. Okay?00:10:05
Uh even bad, you know, cases, bad events00:10:08
like Sarah and Hagar, they didn't get00:10:10
along. You know, you're going to find00:10:11
bad events. I'm not acting like00:10:13
everything is uh rosy. But I I do want00:10:16
to present and I I brought this up in00:10:17
the Ben Shapiro response, too. Uh Adam00:10:20
and Eve sinned horrifically. Um, and we00:10:23
don't blame monogamy. Okay? So, we don't00:10:26
go, "Oh, Adam and Eve committed the00:10:28
worst sin ever, which was to plunge all00:10:30
of humanity into sin and death.00:10:32
Therefore, monogamy is bad. Marriage is00:10:35
bad. We shouldn't be married." That's00:10:36
just a stupid conclusion, honestly. So,00:10:39
with polygyny, the same thing. You read00:10:41
a bad story where people in polygyny did00:10:44
something bad. And the problem is the00:10:46
sin nature, not polygyny. So, polygyny00:10:49
is divine. It's righteous. It's00:10:50
perfectly lawful. Uh just like monogamy00:10:53
is divine righteous, perfectly lawful.00:10:55
Just like celibacy is divine, righteous00:10:57
and perfectly lawful. But because of the00:11:00
sin nature, people within any of those00:11:02
particular um institutions of God,00:11:06
sexual institutions, they can commit00:11:08
sin. But it doesn't make sense to00:11:11
actually blame the institution. The00:11:12
institution itself is holy. Okay? And so00:11:15
back to my other point that I was00:11:16
making, uh if it's regulated, it's not00:11:18
prohibited. So here's some examples.00:11:20
Exodus 21:10. If he takes another wife00:11:23
to himself, he shall not diminish her00:11:25
food, her clothing, or her marital00:11:27
rights. Okay, so this is just an00:11:29
example, quick example of polygyny being00:11:32
regulated, not prohibited. Uh, for00:11:33
example, homosexuality in Leviticus 18,00:11:35
it would say, is an abomination. Uh,00:11:38
divorce, God hates divorce. You know,00:11:40
you'll find passages like this in00:11:41
scripture. You do not find anything like00:11:44
that regarding polygyny. All the vitrial00:11:46
and hatred comes from human mouths, not00:11:49
the mouth of God, not the word of God.00:11:51
Uh Deuteronomy 21 15-17 says this. If a00:11:56
man has two wives, the one loved and the00:11:59
other unloved. And both the loved and00:12:01
the unloved have borne him children. And00:12:02
if the firstborn son belongs to the00:12:04
unloved, then on the day when he assigns00:12:06
his possessions as an inheritance to his00:12:08
sons, he may not treat the son of the00:12:10
loved as the firstborn in preference to00:12:12
the son of the unloved, who is the00:12:15
firstborn. But he shall acknowledge the00:12:17
firstborn, the son of the unloved, by00:12:19
giving him a double portion of all that00:12:21
he has. For he is the first fruits of00:12:23
his strength, the right of the firstborn00:12:25
as his. Now, why am I reading this?00:12:26
Well, two reasons. Number one, it's00:12:29
another regulation of polygyny. Number00:12:31
two, it identifies both women as wives,00:12:33
which the scriptures do not say wife and00:12:36
mistress, wife and adulteress, wife and00:12:38
harlot. They say wife and wife. And so,00:12:40
each one flesh union is its own00:12:42
individual genuine union. That's why00:12:45
both women are called wives. And you've00:12:48
got to understand this. Now, this came00:12:50
up in the Ben Shapiro podcast as well.00:12:52
I'll just bring it up again real quick.00:12:54
Wives and concubines are two different00:12:56
statuses, but they are both wives. A00:12:59
wife by label and by definition is for00:13:02
love. There's a real affection there.00:13:04
There's a there's a passion between00:13:06
them. A concubine is more like a00:13:08
business arrangement where the woman and00:13:10
the man make an agreement. They're not00:13:12
necessarily passionately affectionate or00:13:14
attracted to each other, but they have a00:13:16
business arrangement where he will00:13:18
provide material provision and00:13:20
inheritance rights to the children of00:13:22
the concubine. The the the children of00:13:24
the concubine will receive uh00:13:26
possessions and protection and and what00:13:28
have you. And so will the concubine. Uh00:13:29
and the concubine delivers children. So00:13:32
she provides progeny and the uh the00:13:35
patriarch provides provision. Okay,00:13:37
that's the simplification of it. So00:13:39
again, back to the point. He said, "Not00:13:41
everything that uh the Bible describes00:13:44
is it recommending. That's not my claim.00:13:46
I'm making the point that polygyny is00:13:48
lawful and at times it is divinely00:13:52
inspired." Uh what he presented here was00:13:55
a genetic fallacy. So once again, it's00:13:57
another fallacy. Um it's [clears throat]00:13:59
formed uh by making a statement like00:14:02
this. Okay, sinners practice polygyny,00:14:04
therefore polygyny bad. Right? Uh but00:14:07
that's no different than saying sinners00:14:08
practice monogamy. Therefore monogamy00:14:11
bad. So Adam and Eve sinned. Monogamy is00:14:14
still holy. Okay. So we can't commit00:14:16
that genetic fallacy. And so we're what00:14:18
are we at? We're at like four logical uh00:14:22
two three logical fallacies and two00:14:24
cognitive biases. This is a lot of00:14:27
intellectual failures right at the00:14:29
beginning. Which is why I'm hoping that00:14:31
Andrew Wilson will actually agree to a00:14:32
genuine debate cuz this is really just00:14:35
an echo chamber. It's not really very00:14:37
impressive at all. Let's continue on.00:14:40
>> In fact, a lot of what's described, it's00:14:42
from Tren or a lot of what's described00:14:44
in the Bible is stuff you're not00:14:45
supposed to be doing. It's a cautionary00:14:46
term. >> It's just descriptive.00:14:47
>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. It's just or it's00:14:49
just descriptive.00:14:50
>> Right.00:14:51
>> So, to me,00:14:52
>> okay, so he brought up the term00:14:54
descriptive. Um, I've heard this00:14:57
argument a whole lot. Descriptive, not00:14:59
prescriptive.00:15:00
There's a problem with that, though. Um,00:15:03
again, this is an argument from00:15:04
ignorance, not understanding the the00:15:06
laws of God. Go to Deuteronomy 25:5.00:15:10
This is the English Standard Version. It00:15:12
says this. This is this is an example of00:15:14
a prescribed commandment that would00:15:17
result in polygyny. It says this, "If00:15:19
brothers dwell together and one of them00:15:21
dies and has no son, the wife of the00:15:22
dead man shall not be married outside00:15:24
the family to a stranger. her husband's00:15:26
brother shall go into her, take her as00:15:29
his wife, and perform the duty of a00:15:31
husband's brother to her. There's so00:15:33
much in this verse to unpack. I'm not00:15:35
going to spend too much time on it, but00:15:36
first and foremost, sex is marriage.00:15:38
Okay? Genesis 2:24, there is no wedding.00:15:41
There is no certificate from a state.00:15:43
Adam and Eve did not have a wedding.00:15:45
They did not have a certificate from a00:15:46
state. They did not have an officient.00:15:48
Okay? None of that. What did they have?00:15:50
Intercourse. Okay? They had intercourse00:15:52
with one another. All right? All right.00:15:53
Well, in Deuteronomy 25:5, this is00:15:55
leverate marriage. Intercourse is how00:15:57
the marriage begins. And you'll see this00:15:59
throughout the scriptures. I'm not00:16:00
really diving into that. I have other00:16:02
videos on my channel regarding sexes00:16:04
marriage. I also have a marriage law00:16:06
compendium or like a worksheet, a an00:16:09
amalgamation of a bunch of different um00:16:11
scriptures on marriage. And you can go00:16:14
to the resources link on my website and00:16:16
you'll see marriage law worksheet. You00:16:17
can go read that. You can study out the00:16:19
sexist marriage as well as lawful and00:16:22
unlawful unions. I talk about this at00:16:24
length in my video that I did with Rob00:16:26
Kowalsski um titled on uh or the00:16:30
divinity of marriage. And I think that00:16:32
you guys will really uh be blessed by00:16:34
that. Okay. So, back to Deuteronomy00:16:35
25:5. If brothers dwell together and one00:16:38
of them dies and has no son, the wife of00:16:41
the dead man shall not be married00:16:42
outside the family to a stranger. her00:16:44
husband's brother shall go into her and00:16:46
take her as his wife and perform the00:16:48
duty of a husband's brother to her. This00:16:50
happened uh with Judah's son Onin. This00:16:52
was what was required of Onen in Genesis00:16:55
38:8, I believe. And I don't have it00:16:57
right in front of me. And so Deuteronomy00:17:00
25:5 is prescribed regardless of the00:17:03
marital status of the living brother. So00:17:07
whether he's got a wife or wives or not,00:17:10
he must marry his late brother's widow00:17:14
in order to raise up offspring for his00:17:16
brother. Why is this commanded in God's00:17:19
law? Well, because when the brother died00:17:22
without any offspring, the living00:17:24
brother who is genetically very similar00:17:26
is supposed to produce offspring with00:17:28
the widow. The firstborn of that widow00:17:31
is actually the child of the late00:17:34
brother and receives all of his00:17:36
inheritance from the late brother. And00:17:38
then the widow from that point forward,00:17:40
all of her children are the living00:17:42
husband's children. But that first child00:17:44
is legally the child of the late00:17:47
brother. And so it's actually a00:17:49
commandment that is from compassion to00:17:52
ensure that the dead brother continues00:17:54
to have progeny and his bloodline00:17:56
doesn't end. This is a kindness from God00:17:59
to the man who died and to the widow. Uh00:18:03
and then the brother of course he gets00:18:05
to have uh additional children through00:18:07
the widow as well after the firstborn.00:18:09
So regardless of how you feel about the00:18:11
law of God, the point is here that this00:18:14
is prescribed00:18:16
regardless of the marital status of the00:18:19
living brother. And this would result in00:18:22
polygyny any and every time the man is00:18:26
married and he has to marry his00:18:29
brother's widow. So if he's got one wife00:18:31
or more, he still has to marry his00:18:34
brother's widow. And so he would end up00:18:35
with two wives or three wives or what00:18:37
have you. We're going to 2 Chronicles.00:18:40
And Joash did what was right in the eyes00:18:42
of the Lord all the days of Jehoeda the00:18:43
priest. Jehoa got from him two wives and00:18:46
he had sons and daughters. Now, this00:18:47
might look like it's not a big deal on00:18:49
the surface, but Jehoeda is the high00:18:52
priest of Israel acting on behalf of00:18:55
God's will, bringing Joash two wives00:19:00
simultaneously so that he can have sons00:19:02
and daughters. And this brings in a00:19:05
divine statement. And Joash did what was00:19:07
right in the eyes of the Lord. So, as00:19:11
long as Jehoeda was alive, the things00:19:13
Joash was doing were right. the things00:19:15
Jehoeda was doing were right. Joha is00:19:17
actually regarded as one of the better00:19:19
high prophets um high priests in the00:19:22
biblical narrative and Joash was a good00:19:25
king up until Jehoeda had died. So at00:19:28
this point in time he is doing what's00:19:30
right in the eyes of the Lord all the00:19:32
days of Jehoeda. Jehoeda the high priest00:19:35
acting on behalf of God. He's in a00:19:36
divine office brings him two wives. This00:19:39
is prescribed. Okay. Joash didn't make00:19:42
this decision. God told Jehoeda to bring00:19:46
him two wives. And if you understand the00:19:49
divinity of marriage, which is00:19:50
witnessed, for example, in Jesus's00:19:52
teaching in Matthew 19:6,00:19:55
uh then you understand that God brought00:19:57
these wives to Joash. Why? Because Jesus00:20:00
said, "So they are no longer two but one00:20:02
flesh. What God has joined together, let00:20:05
no man separate." Okay, so that's two00:20:07
prescribed scenarios of polygyny. This00:20:09
one is perhaps the most arguably the00:20:12
most obvious uh divine prescription of00:20:16
polygyny in scripture and it's God00:20:18
declaring to David that he gave him00:20:20
multiple wives and he did so uh and and00:20:24
he could have given him more if he00:20:25
wanted to and then he tells David why00:20:28
did you take Uriah's wife when you00:20:32
already had all these wives that I had00:20:34
given you. So 2 Samuel 12:es 7-8. Nathan00:20:38
said to David, "You are the man. Thus00:20:40
says the Lord, the God of Israel. I00:20:41
anointed you king over Israel, and I00:20:43
delivered you out of the hand of Saul,00:20:45
and I gave you your master's house and00:20:47
your master's wives into your arms, and00:20:49
gave you the house of Israel and of00:20:51
Judah." And if this were too little, I00:20:53
would add to you as much more. What did00:20:56
God just say here? This is the God of00:20:59
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our creator,00:21:01
our savior. He says, "And I gave you00:21:04
your master's house and your master's00:21:05
wives into your arms." Now, to clarify,00:21:08
this word arms here in Hebrew is um uh00:21:11
translated more accurately as bosom.00:21:13
It's an intimate word. In fact, in this00:21:16
exact same chapter in 2 Samuel 12, it00:21:19
states that Uriah had Ba Sheeba, his00:21:22
little sheep, in his bosom. Okay? It's00:21:25
an affectionate and in fact sexual term.00:21:28
And God is stating, "I gave your00:21:30
master's wives into your bosom. I I put00:21:33
them in your bed and they became uh your00:21:36
wives and you were able to have children00:21:38
with them." And he's saying, "Why did00:21:39
you take another man's wife when I gave00:21:42
you all of these wives?" So, this is00:21:44
divine providence. Uh this is an example00:21:46
of the divinity of marriage and that God00:21:49
is the one who caused these polygenous00:21:51
unions. That's three prescriptions of00:21:53
polygyny. And I'm just getting started.00:21:56
Go to Matthew chapter 19:6. So they are00:21:59
no longer two but one flesh. What00:22:02
therefore God has joined together. Let00:22:03
not man separate. We just saw God00:22:06
explicitly stated, "I gave these wives00:22:09
to you." We also saw Jehoeda acting on00:22:12
behalf of God, doing what was right in00:22:14
God's sight. Gave multiple wives to00:22:16
Joash. So we know that it's God making00:22:20
these joinings, these unions, uh these00:22:23
marriages himself. This is what you must00:22:26
understand is that all marriage starting00:22:28
with Eve is by divine providence.00:22:30
Genesis 2:22, he brought her to the man.00:22:33
Well, that's actually what continues to00:22:35
happen throughout the entire biblical00:22:36
narrative. If it's a lawful union, it's00:22:39
brought about by God. And what therefore00:22:41
God has joined together, let not man00:22:44
separate. Okay? All lawful marriage is00:22:47
divinely prescribed. Whether monogamous00:22:50
or plural, it is divinely prescribed.00:22:54
And you can even say that celibacy is00:22:56
divinely prescribed because Matthew 1900:22:58
Jesus indicates that that that some00:23:00
people are called to that. Some people00:23:02
called to celibacy, many to monogamy,00:23:05
and some to polygyny. But the point is00:23:07
all three are righteous. And of course,00:23:09
these gentlemen on Timcast, they're00:23:11
going to start telling you how immoral00:23:12
everything is. But they clearly have not00:23:14
studied the word of God on the matter.00:23:17
Please debate me. Genesis chapter uh 1700:23:21
verse 5. Okay, here's the next00:23:22
prescription. So God declares to00:23:24
Abraham, I'm I've made you the father of00:23:27
a multitude of nations. Okay? And at00:23:29
this time he's childless. Genesis 17:5,00:23:32
"No longer shall your name be called00:23:33
Abram, but you shall be Abraham, for I00:23:36
have made you the father of multitude of00:23:38
nations." This is a declaration of00:23:40
faith. God has spoken this over Abraham.00:23:42
Uh it's prophetic. And Abraham is not00:23:45
yet even the father of even one nation.00:23:47
He hasn't fathered any children. Okay?00:23:50
But then later on in Genesis 25:es 1-6,00:23:54
look at this. Abraham took another wife00:23:57
whose name was Coutura. So this is after00:23:59
the Sarah and Hagar situation. And I00:24:01
just want to point something out. Sarah00:24:03
birthed one nation which was Israel.00:24:07
Okay? So Israel is birthed through00:24:10
Sarah. Isaac comes through Sarah, but00:24:13
that's one nation. And God said, "You'll00:24:15
be the father of many nations." So Hagar00:24:17
gives birth to Ishmael. That's another00:24:20
nation. Coutura gives birth to several00:24:22
nations. Look at this in verse two. She00:24:24
bore him Zimron, Joshin, Miden, Midian,00:24:27
Ishbach, and Shua. Now, I want to make a00:24:29
point. Moses marries a Midianite later00:24:32
on. And his father-in-law, Jethro, knows00:24:36
the God of Abraham and is actually a00:24:39
priest. How is that possible? Because00:24:42
the descendants of Abraham for a period00:24:44
of time did serve the same God, but they00:24:48
fell into sin and they fell into00:24:51
rebellion in the actually the exact same00:24:53
way that the Jewish people did in the00:24:55
gospels. They fell into rebellion. They00:24:57
crucified the son of God. So here00:25:01
Abraham truly is a a righteous patriarch00:25:05
who is the father of many nations. The00:25:07
nations falling away from God or doing00:25:09
what's evil in God's sight does not00:25:10
indicate that something was evil here.00:25:13
God said, "I will make you the father of00:25:15
many nations." The sin nature is to be00:25:18
blamed. Not God, not Abraham, not00:25:20
polygyny, but the sin nature. Verse00:25:23
three, Jockshin fathered Sheba and00:25:25
Dedon. The sons of Dedon were Ashuram,00:25:28
Leushim, and Lem. The sons of Midian00:25:30
were Epha, Epher, Hanek, Abida, and00:25:32
Elda. All these were the children of00:25:34
Cura. Abraham gave all he had to Isaac,00:25:37
but to the sons of his concubines,00:25:38
Abraham gave gifts. And while he was00:25:40
still living, he sent them away from his00:25:42
son Isaac eastward to the east country.00:25:43
So Abraham, father of many nations,00:25:45
that's prescribed. So we've now00:25:46
presented uh four and really five if you00:25:49
count the divinity of marriage00:25:51
prescriptions of polygyny. Uh Jacob00:25:54
creating the tribes of Israel through00:25:57
four wives is prescribed. This is00:25:59
prophetically fulfilled through Jacob00:26:01
that Israel would come into existence00:26:03
and Israel was always going to be 1200:26:05
tribes. Friends, just like Jesus was00:26:07
always going to have 12 disciples,00:26:09
Israel was always going to have 1200:26:10
tribes. And those 12 disciples are the00:26:13
ones who are going to judge the 1200:26:14
tribes. Okay. Genesis 30:18, Leah said,00:26:18
"God has given me my wages because I00:26:20
gave my servant to my husband. So she00:26:22
called his name Issachar." Okay, so this00:26:25
is actually really important. The NIV00:26:27
would render this as rewards. Okay?00:26:30
Issachar would be a reward or a wage.00:26:32
It's similar to how Hebrews says that00:26:34
anyone who comes to God must believe00:26:35
that he exists and that he rewards those00:26:37
who diligently seek him. So what Leah is00:26:40
indicating here is that God rewarded her00:26:43
for sharing her ser servant with her00:26:45
husband to be a wife. So Rachel and Leah00:26:48
had Zilpa and Bilha become additional00:26:50
wives for Jacob. And all four of these00:26:54
women produced the 12 tribes. So Ruth00:26:57
4:100:26:58
says this. Then all the people who were00:27:01
at the gate and the elders said, "We are00:27:03
witnesses. May the Lord make the woman00:27:04
who is coming into your house like00:27:06
Rachel and Leah, who together built up00:27:09
the house of Israel. May you act00:27:11
worthily in Epheretha and be renowned in00:27:14
Bethlehem." So building up the house of00:27:16
Israel is absolutely a divine event. Uh00:27:20
it would be insane to disagree with00:27:22
that. So God acted providentially here00:27:26
in producing the 12 tribes through four00:27:28
wives. And to strengthen that00:27:30
providential argument, I want you to00:27:32
think about this with me. Uh Jacob00:27:35
didn't even consent to marrying Leah.00:27:38
Laban tricked him by bringing her into a00:27:40
dark room. And once he entered the00:27:42
virgin, he was married to her. Co. So00:27:45
when he woke up, he was like, "Whoa,00:27:46
what is this?" When you look at the big00:27:48
picture, the grand narrative of the00:27:50
Bible, God was working in that because00:27:53
God wanted Jacob married to each of00:27:56
these four women so that they would00:27:58
build up the house of Israel. You must00:28:00
understand divine providence in order to00:28:03
understand what was happening with00:28:04
Israel. All of this has to do with the00:28:07
Messiah. Jacob is listed as one of the00:28:10
seven honored polygamists in the00:28:12
Messianic lineage. He's one of the00:28:15
ancestors of Jesus listed in Matthew00:28:17
1:es 1-17. So God fully was working in00:28:23
this narrative to bring the Messiah. And00:28:25
I believe this is I'm submitting this00:28:27
for you to consider. I believe that God00:28:30
used polygyny in order to diversify the00:28:34
descendants of Abraham and to ensure00:28:36
that the devil didn't really know00:28:38
exactly where the Messiah was coming00:28:40
from. And I believe what confirms this00:28:43
that God was using polygyny tactically00:28:46
was that Herod acting on behalf of the00:28:48
devil just ordered to have all the kids00:28:51
killed when Jesus was being born. In00:28:53
other words, Satan could not keep track00:28:56
of the seed of Abraham. Did not know00:28:59
exactly where the Messiah was coming00:29:00
from and couldn't keep up with it. So,00:29:03
he just tried to wipe them all out.00:29:05
Really similar with Moses as well. Let's00:29:07
move on to the next one. So, Solomon00:29:09
builds the temple. Again, this is a00:29:11
divine event. Now, you go, "Well,00:29:13
Solomon, he was he was a big sinner in00:29:15
this polygyny area." I would argue and00:29:18
contend using scripture, which I'm about00:29:20
to do, that Solomon's sin was never00:29:22
polygyny. Solomon's sin was the taking00:29:25
of foreign wives, which was a violation00:29:28
of Deuteronomy 7:es 3 and 4. Let's take00:29:31
a look at it in scripture. 1st00:29:33
Chronicles 28:es 3-5. But God said to00:29:36
me, "You may not build a house for my00:29:38
name, for you are a man of war and have00:29:40
shed blood." Yet the Lord God of Israel00:29:43
chose me from all my father's house to00:29:45
be king over Israel forever. For he00:29:48
chose Judah as leader, and in the house00:29:50
of Judah, my father's house, and among00:29:52
my father's sons. He took pleasure in me00:29:55
to make me king over all Israel. And of00:29:58
all my sons, for the Lord has given me00:30:00
many sons. Uh, notice that David is00:30:03
referring to all of his children as00:30:05
being from the Lord. God did it. This00:30:07
was God's doing. In other words, he's00:30:09
validating the marriages because these00:30:11
are not bastard children. Verse 5, and00:30:13
of all my sons, for the Lord has given00:30:15
me many sons. He has chosen Solomon, my00:30:18
son, to sit on the throne of the kingdom00:30:19
of the Lord over Israel. Solomon is not00:30:22
a legitimate child. Then he would not be00:30:24
able to sit on the throne over the00:30:26
kingdom of of of Israel. Okay? So he00:30:29
wouldn't God wouldn't tolerate that if00:30:31
he was a bastard child. In fact,00:30:32
Deuteronomy makes the point uh there's a00:30:34
law that states that bastard children00:30:36
cannot even be in the congregation of00:30:38
the Lord. So if he were a bastard, he00:30:41
couldn't even be in the congregation and00:30:42
let alone he and instead he actually is00:30:46
going to build the temple. First Kings00:30:49
15:es 4 and 5 says this. Nevertheless,00:30:52
for David's sake, the Lord his God gave00:30:55
him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his00:30:57
son after him and establishing00:30:59
Jerusalem. That's Solomon. Uh verse 5,00:31:01
because David did what was right in the00:31:03
eyes of the Lord and did not turn aside00:31:05
from anything that he commanded him all00:31:06
the days of his life, except in the00:31:08
matter of Uriah the Hitittite. That00:31:10
means when David took Abigail and00:31:12
Ahinoam as his wives, he didn't do00:31:14
anything wrong. When he took Saul's00:31:17
former wives as his wives, he didn't do00:31:19
anything wrong. When he took other00:31:20
lawful wives, he didn't do anything00:31:22
wrong. The one time he sinned in the00:31:24
area of sex and marriage was with Bath00:31:27
Sheeba, Uriah the Hitittite's wife. He00:31:29
he lost his first son, his first child00:31:32
with Bath Sheeba. That was the00:31:34
punishment because he wouldn't repent.00:31:36
When he did repent, God recognized the00:31:39
marriage because Uriah was dead and00:31:41
granted him Solomon. And Solomon went on00:31:44
to build the temple. These are divine00:31:45
events. In fact, I've heard rabbis talk00:31:47
about this and they said that Solomon00:31:49
was always going to exist based on the00:31:51
providence of God. But uh that David did00:31:54
not have to kill Uriah. Uriah would have00:31:56
died naturally and David would have00:31:58
naturally become the husband of Ba00:32:02
Sheeba because God had always willed00:32:04
that. So David sped up the timeline and00:32:07
didn't wait like he did with Abigail. If00:32:10
you remember in the story of Abigail, if00:32:11
you don't if you're not familiar, you00:32:12
need to get to know these stories. Um,00:32:15
Abigail was the wife of Nibbal. Nibbal00:32:17
is a wicked man. David uh clearly was00:32:21
attracted to her because he calls for00:32:22
her to be his wife as soon as Nibal00:32:24
dies. But before Nibal dies, you know,00:32:27
he he doesn't commit adultery with her00:32:31
and he uh proceeds to not harm Nibal00:32:34
either. And God puts Nibal to death and00:32:37
then David sends for Abigail so he's00:32:39
able to marry her. So this is really00:32:41
important to understand that David did00:32:43
not sin in any other circumstances and00:32:45
also that God was going to give him00:32:47
Ba'ath Sheba but he needed to be patient00:32:49
and wait for the timing of the Lord00:32:51
because Uriah was a good man and he was00:32:54
a loyal man and it really was evil. So00:32:56
that's why God punished David so uh00:32:58
fiercely in the scriptures. Uh okay and00:33:01
one more point about u Solomon in00:33:05
Nehemiah 13:26. This just confirms that00:33:08
Solomon's sin was not polygyny but00:33:10
actually the violation of Deuteronomy 700:33:12
3 and4 where you're commanded not to00:33:14
take foreign wives says this verse 2600:33:16
Nehemiah 13:2600:33:19
did not Solomon king of Israel sin on00:33:21
account of such women among the many00:33:23
nations there was no king like him and00:33:25
he was beloved by his God and God made00:33:27
him king over all Israel nevertheless00:33:30
foreign women made even him to sin what00:33:34
does the prophet Nehemiah say was the00:33:36
sin of Solomon00:33:38
foreign women. Does he say polygyny was00:33:40
the sin? No, because polygyny is not a00:33:43
sin. Deuteronomy 7:es 3 and 4, you shall00:33:46
not intermar with them, giving your00:33:48
daughters to their sons or taking their00:33:50
daughters for your sons, for they would00:33:52
turn away your sons from following me to00:33:54
serve other gods. Then the anger of the00:33:57
Lord would be kindled against you, and00:33:59
he would destroy you quickly. So for00:34:02
descriptive, not prescriptive, that's00:34:04
nonsense. I've literally read you the00:34:06
prescription of leverate marriage. The00:34:08
prescription of the high priest to00:34:09
Joash. The prescription of God to David00:34:12
in 2 Samuel. Uh the prescription of00:34:14
multiple wives to Abraham so that he00:34:16
would be the father of many nations. The00:34:18
prescription of multiple wives to Jacob00:34:20
so that he would uh give uh create the00:34:23
12 tribes of Israel through those four00:34:25
wives. Um the prescription of Solomon00:34:28
building the temple. Okay. In order for00:34:31
Solomon to exist, polygyny was00:34:33
practiced. No, adultery did not have to00:34:36
be practiced. But ultimately, polygyny00:34:38
would have been practiced and Solomon00:34:40
was going to exist one way or another00:34:42
because God always, if you understand00:34:44
divine providence, had planned through00:34:46
his fornowledge for Solomon to build the00:34:49
temple. Okay? And then the Messiah is00:34:52
born of seven uh polygamists uh or00:34:56
polygynists, however you'd like to say00:34:58
it. Um the the seven that are listed in00:35:02
Matthew 1:es 1-17 are Abraham, Jacob,00:35:05
David, Solomon, Riaboam, Abijah, and00:35:08
Josiah. All of these men are recorded in00:35:11
the Old Testament have as having00:35:12
multiple wives. None of them repented. I00:35:15
want you to hear this. I want you to00:35:17
hear this. I want you to overcome your00:35:19
cognitive bias. None of these men00:35:21
repented of polygyny. If it's adultery00:35:23
and they're adulterers, that would put00:35:25
them in hell because they lived in00:35:28
unrepentant sin and they perished in00:35:30
that sin, that would place them in hell.00:35:33
But we actually see in the scriptures,00:35:34
Matthew 8:1, I tell you, many will come00:35:38
from east and west and recline at table00:35:42
with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the00:35:44
kingdom of heaven. Abraham had multiple00:35:48
wives. Isaac did not. Jacob had multiple00:35:50
wives. They're all stated as being in00:35:53
the kingdom of heaven, which wouldn't be00:35:54
possible if they had died in sin. So00:35:57
these unrepentant00:35:59
polygamists are in heaven. Why? Because00:36:01
they didn't need to repent of polygyny.00:36:04
It is lawful. And then I believe our00:36:08
final point for prescribed uh rather00:36:11
than described is Isaiah 3 and Isaiah 4.00:36:15
Isaiah 3 16-26 actually dives into the00:36:19
feminism the spirit of feminism like the00:36:21
spirit of Jezebel uh and the spirit of00:36:23
Vashi in in the story of Esther. This00:36:26
spirit attaching itself to the daughters00:36:28
of Zion which the daughters of Zion are00:36:31
all the Christian women the the the00:36:33
believers in Christ the believers in the00:36:35
Messiah. In fact, this is a messianic00:36:37
prophecy that these women will be full00:36:39
of feminism. And that's where we're at00:36:41
right now. We're in Isaiah 3 right now.00:36:44
If you want to understand Bible00:36:45
prophecy, go read Isaiah 3. We're in00:36:48
that right now and we're going to exit00:36:52
that and enter into Isaiah 4.00:36:54
Unfortunately, it's going to be as a00:36:56
result of quite a bit of hardship as00:36:57
you'll see here. Uh but ultimately, it's00:37:00
going to happen and you will see in00:37:01
Isaiah 4, polygyny is prescribed. Let's00:37:05
read it. Isaiah 3 16- 26. The Lord said,00:37:09
"Because the daughters of Zion," again,00:37:11
these are the Christians, the believers,00:37:13
true Israel, "because the daughters of00:37:15
Zion are hottie and walk with00:37:17
outstretched necks, glancing wantingly00:37:20
with their eyes, mincing along as they00:37:23
go, tinkling with their feet. Therefore,00:37:26
the Lord will strike with a scab the00:37:28
heads of the daughters of Zion, and the00:37:30
Lord will lay bear their secret parts."00:37:33
Okay. So, he's bringing shame on them00:37:35
because they've acted uh like Vashi00:37:38
instead of Esther. If you want to00:37:39
understand the difference between women,00:37:41
just look at Vashi and Esther. Vashi is00:37:45
repulsive. She's in rebellion to God and00:37:47
her husband. She's exactly who not to00:37:50
be. And Esther is the gentle, quiet00:37:53
spirit that that 1 Peter 3 talks about00:37:56
that God is seeking from a woman. And00:37:58
that's why he elevates her to the wife00:38:00
of, you know, the emperor and she saves00:38:02
the Jewish people. It's an incredible00:38:04
story. And she does so by being a good,00:38:07
submissive, gentle-spirited wife who00:38:10
loves her husband versus Vashi the00:38:11
feminist. Just like Jezebel the00:38:13
feminist. Okay. Okay. Verse 18. Isaiah00:38:15
3:18. In that day the Lord will take00:38:18
away the finery of the anklets, the00:38:20
headbands and the crescent, the00:38:22
pendants, the bracelets and the scarves,00:38:24
the headdresses, the armlets, the00:38:26
sashes, the perfume boxes and the00:38:28
amulets, the signant rings and nose00:38:30
rings, the festal robes, the mantels,00:38:33
the cloaks and the handbags, the00:38:35
mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans00:38:37
and the veils. Instead of perfume, there00:38:39
will be rottness and instead of a belt,00:38:42
a rope. And instead of well set hair,00:38:44
baldness, and instead of a rich robe, a00:38:46
skirt of sackcloth, and branding,00:38:49
instead of beauty, your men shall fall00:38:51
by the sword, and your mighty men in00:38:54
battle, and her gates shall lament and00:38:56
mourn empty. She shall sit on the00:39:00
ground. Okay? So, uh, instead of00:39:03
perfume, there's rottness. So, the curse00:39:05
comes upon them. And in fact, a lot of00:39:06
their husbands and the men die because00:39:10
they uh there's a lot of tumultuousness00:39:12
here in the last days. You can already00:39:14
see it brewing. And then Isaiah 4 is00:39:17
literally the continuation of that story00:39:20
and the return of the Messiah, which by00:39:22
the way, if you don't know anything00:39:24
about prophecy, the branch of the Lord00:39:26
is a messianic symbol that's used more00:39:28
than once in scripture uh that indicates00:39:30
the return of Jesus. Okay. Now, let's00:39:33
read this. Isaiah 4 verse one. and seven00:39:36
women shall take hold of one man in that00:39:39
day, saying, "We will eat our own bread00:39:41
and wear our own clothes. Only let us be00:39:44
called by your name. Take away our00:39:46
reproach." So, they're willing to00:39:48
provide for themselves. Uh because the00:39:51
men are in a position that they weren't00:39:53
necessarily planning to take on seven00:39:55
wives, which can be a very expensive00:39:57
endeavor. Um and so they're saying,00:40:00
"Well, we'll eat our own bread. We'll00:40:01
wear our own clothes." In other words,00:40:03
we'll we'll do that provisional side,00:40:05
but let us be called by your name. Take00:40:07
us as wives. Take away our reproach. Let00:40:10
us have your last name. Let us be part00:40:12
of your family. Uh because we want to00:40:14
repent of this feminism that we were in00:40:16
before. And we want to be submissive00:40:19
wives, eager to bear children, eager to00:40:21
serve the Lord and to build up the00:40:23
kingdom of God. And so this is the shift00:40:25
of the pride and arrogance of feminism00:40:28
to the humility of proper uh marital00:40:32
roles and and proper femininity. And00:40:35
they are even willing to share a good00:40:38
godly man. That is the sign of truly00:40:40
being delivered from the feminist spirit00:40:42
is that a woman is willing to share. Not00:40:44
that she's going to have to or that00:40:46
she's called to, but that she's willing00:40:48
to. She has the heart of Jesus and that00:40:50
is not my will but your will be done. If00:40:53
my godly husband needs to have more00:40:55
wives, that's good, right? So, a godly00:40:58
man with two wives, three wives, four00:40:59
wives is going to produce more children.00:41:02
More children who have a godly father is00:41:04
good for the church and society. And the00:41:07
women realize this. Okay. Verse two. In00:41:10
that day, the branch of the Lord shall00:41:11
be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit00:41:13
of the land shall be the pride and honor00:41:15
of the survivors in Israel. And he who00:41:18
is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem00:41:20
will be called holy. everyone who has00:41:22
been recorded for life in Jerusalem. And00:41:24
when the Lord shall have washed away the00:41:26
filth of the daughters of Zion, that's00:41:29
feminism. That feminism is filth, the00:41:31
filth of the daughters of Zion, and00:41:33
cleansed the blood stains of Jerusalem00:41:36
from its midst by a spirit of judgment00:41:38
and by a spirit of burning. Then the00:41:40
Lord will create over the whole sight of00:41:42
Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a00:41:44
cloud by day, and smoke, and the shining00:41:47
of a flaming fire by night. For over all00:41:50
the glory there will be a canopy. There00:41:52
will be a booth for shade by day from00:41:54
the heat and for a refuge and a shelter00:41:57
from the storm and rain. I believe we00:42:00
have completed our point that polygyny00:42:03
is absolutely prescribed throughout the00:42:06
scriptures not just described. That is a00:42:10
fallacy. That argument is not true. and00:42:13
we have just literally obliterated it00:42:15
with a ton of examples. These gentlemen00:42:18
should have done a little bit more00:42:19
study. Let's continue on with their next00:42:22
statement where they're going to00:42:23
conflate homosexuality with polygyny.00:42:26
[gasps]00:42:27
This is not all that shocking. It seems00:42:29
shocking because it exists in one00:42:30
direction, but for decades we have been00:42:33
seeing people try to claim that the00:42:34
Bible doesn't actually say what it says00:42:36
about God's plan for marriage, about00:42:37
sexuality, etc. You know, my particular00:42:40
perversion is permissible. I don't know.00:42:42
Who are we to judge, right? I've been00:42:44
we've been told for decades.00:42:45
>> Well, I mean, honestly,00:42:47
>> okay, so before Andrew Wilson gets00:42:49
started here, we need to address that00:42:50
first and foremost. Um, conflating00:42:54
homosexuality or sexual perversion with00:42:56
polygyny is heresy. It's tragic. Uh, the00:42:59
patriarchs are not perverts. Okay? So,00:43:02
the you have to understand when you make00:43:04
statements, you are implying something00:43:07
about all those who practiced that00:43:09
institution. So homosexuals are00:43:11
perverts. Sure. Polygenist patriarchs00:43:15
are not perverts. They're beetting00:43:17
children. In fact, St. Augustine makes00:43:19
this point in on the good of marriage00:43:21
chapter 33. He says that the patriarchs00:43:24
were not incontinent but that they were00:43:27
um actually beetting children with these00:43:30
women and that there was no divine law00:43:33
that prohibited it and they were not00:43:35
sinning. So St. Augustine actually goes00:43:37
so far as to say anyone who says the00:43:39
patriarchs were sinning is a heretic00:43:42
because and heresy is opinion instead of00:43:45
scripture is a heretic because there is00:43:48
no divine law. Now he argues that it's00:43:51
against Roman custom and therefore you00:43:53
shouldn't do it. So he's pro monogamy00:43:56
anti-polygyny. But in on the good of00:43:58
marriage chapter 33 he says very clearly00:44:02
that it is not a sin okay to practice00:44:06
polygyny. This is chapter 33 or section00:44:08
33. It says this and the case being thus00:44:12
enough and more than enough answer has00:44:15
been made to the heretics whether they00:44:17
be manaches or whosoever other that00:44:19
bring false charges against the fathers00:44:21
of the old testament on the subject of00:44:23
their having several wives. Thinking00:44:26
this a proof whereby to convict them of00:44:28
incontinence, provided that is that they00:44:31
perceive that that is no sin which is00:44:34
committed neither against nature and00:44:36
that they use those women not for00:44:38
wantedness, but for the beginning of00:44:40
children, nor against custom, for as00:44:42
much as such things were usually done at00:44:45
those times, nor against command, for as00:44:48
much as they were forbidden by no law.00:44:51
But such as used women unlawfully,00:44:54
either the divine sentence in those00:44:56
scriptures convicts them or the reading00:44:58
sets them forth for us to condemn and00:45:00
shun, not to approve or imitate. Now, as00:45:03
I stated before, St. Augustine is he00:45:06
argues on the basis of Roman custom not00:45:08
to practice polygyny. So, he is a Roman00:45:11
Catholic. Uh he's from the fourth00:45:14
entering into the fifth century.00:45:16
However, he is intellectually honest00:45:19
when he declares that according to00:45:21
divine law, no sin is committed when00:45:24
polygyny is practiced and the patriarchs00:45:26
are not guilty of sin. Okay. Also00:45:31
conflating homosexuality with polygyny00:45:34
being a this it really is heresy. Um00:45:37
because homosexuality is and results in00:45:40
extinction00:45:41
whereas uh and just like abortion. So00:45:44
homosexuality and abortion, these both00:45:46
result in extinction. It's an00:45:48
abomination. The scriptures are very00:45:50
clear that it's an abomination, which is00:45:52
what's incredible. Let's look at that in00:45:53
the scriptures. Leviticus 18:22, "You00:45:57
shall not lie with a male as with a00:45:59
woman, it is an abomination." Okay.00:46:02
Leviticus 20:13. If a man lies with a00:46:05
male as with a woman, both of them have00:46:08
committed an abomination. They shall00:46:10
surely be put to death. their blood is00:46:13
upon them. So homosexuality results in00:46:16
the extinction of man. Uh heterosexual00:46:19
polygyny is procreative in nature and it00:46:23
actually results in the proliferation of00:46:26
progeny not the reduction of the00:46:29
population. So I don't know what these00:46:33
guys are doing but I've seen this a lot00:46:34
on Twitter as well or X. Uh, I'm a I'm00:46:37
an elder millennial, so I'm used to00:46:39
calling it Twitter. But, um, I've seen a00:46:43
lot of people make this argument of00:46:45
conflating homosexuality with polygyny.00:46:48
And homosexuality is on the extinction00:46:50
end of the spectrum and polygyny is on00:46:53
the procreation end of the spectrum. So,00:46:56
no, they're not able to be combined. One00:46:59
is explicitly declared sin. One is not00:47:02
only not declared sin, it's regulated00:47:04
lawfully by God. And then it's divinely00:47:06
ordained and prescribed multiple times00:47:09
as I already showed you. Okay. So look00:47:11
at Genesis 1:28. This is the first00:47:15
written commandment in the Bible. First00:47:18
sexual commandment. In fact, I believe00:47:20
and would argue that every sexual00:47:22
commandment stems from this one. Why is00:47:25
homosexuality sin? It violates be00:47:28
fruitful multiply. Why is bestiality00:47:30
sin? It violates be fruitful multiply.00:47:33
Why is incest or adultery sin? Because00:47:35
it harms the children. Even if children00:47:37
come into existence, it harms them. Why00:47:40
is polygyny not sin? Because it's not00:47:43
adultery. It's not harming the the00:47:46
female or the child. The female00:47:49
consensually agrees to be your wife. you00:47:51
produce offspring and you're being00:47:53
fruitful, multiplying, and she00:47:55
ultimately is fulfilling 1 Timothy 2:15,00:47:58
which says women or wives will be saved00:48:01
through childbearing. What does that00:48:03
mean? It means that it's part of their00:48:05
sanctification process. Okay? If they're00:48:07
not in full-time ministry, they're00:48:09
supposed to be married and making00:48:10
babies. This is why the New Testament00:48:12
commands procreation so many times. All00:48:14
right? We're going to look at some of00:48:15
this in scripture. Genesis 1:28. And God00:48:18
blessed them. And God said to them, "Be00:48:20
fruitful and multiply and fill the earth00:48:22
and subdue it and have dominion over the00:48:24
fish of the sea and over the birds of00:48:25
the heavens and over every living thing00:48:27
that moves on the earth." So be00:48:29
fruitful, multiply is the guiding00:48:32
premier um you know apex passage00:48:35
regarding sex and sexuality. Okay? And00:48:39
it's also the first written commandment00:48:40
in the Bible. So the first commandment00:48:42
we're ever introduced to is a sexual00:48:44
commandment. And I want to remind you of00:48:46
this. John the Baptist was beheaded due00:48:49
to marriage law and sexual law. He went00:48:51
and told Herod and Herodiius their00:48:52
marriage was adulterous and not allowed00:48:54
because Herodiius's uh husband was still00:48:57
alive. She divorced him, but he was00:48:59
still alive. So, she's still one flesh00:49:01
with him cuz he's not dead. So, their00:49:03
marriage was adulterous. Okay? And he00:49:05
told them they got ticked off about it00:49:07
and they beheaded him. Do you realize00:49:09
that they beheaded John the Baptist over00:49:11
marriage law? Okay? People get really00:49:13
upset about marriage law. Be careful00:49:16
that your flesh doesn't take over when00:49:18
we're talking about marriage law. Walk00:49:20
in the spirit. Walk in peace. Seek peace00:49:22
and pursue it as the psalmist says.00:49:24
Okay. All right. Malachi 2:15. Did he00:49:27
not make them one with a portion of the00:49:29
spirit in their union? And what was the00:49:30
one God seeking? Godly offspring. So00:49:34
guard yourselves in your spirit and let00:49:36
none of you be faithless to the wife of00:49:38
your youth. God is looking for godly00:49:41
offspring. So you have you have the00:49:43
beginning of the Old Testament, Genesis,00:49:45
and the end of the Old Testament,00:49:46
Malachi. Both of them telling you, "Make00:49:49
babies." Okay, make babies. And then God00:49:51
is silent for I think 400 years in00:49:54
between uh Malachi and then John the00:49:56
Baptist appearing. And then look at00:49:58
this. The New Testament again, same00:50:00
concept. I quoted this a moment ago. 100:50:02
Timothy chapter 2:15. Yet she or women00:50:05
or wives, you can translate that word00:50:07
several ways. Yet she will be saved00:50:08
through childbearing if they women or00:50:12
wives continue in faith and love and00:50:15
holiness with self-control. So women00:50:18
will be saved. That word there is soo.00:50:20
It means forgiven and healed. It's part00:50:22
of the sanctification process. She'll be00:50:24
saved through childbearing. This is part00:50:26
of a woman's sanctification. That's why00:50:28
abortion and contraception and rebellion00:50:32
against be fruitful and multiply is so00:50:34
high is because women are in a state of00:50:36
fleshly sin right now at a high level in00:50:40
the west and that's why they're fighting00:50:42
against childbearing because that's holy00:50:44
and that's part of their sanctification.00:50:46
Okay? And it is for us as well. But the00:50:48
woman goes through the bearing of the00:50:49
child um the breastfeeding of the child.00:50:52
You know her body goes through a lot.00:50:53
It's a very sanctifying process. She00:50:55
literally lays her body down for her00:50:58
child and ultimately for the divine will00:51:00
of God. 1 Timothy 5:14. So I would have00:51:05
younger widows marry, bear children,00:51:08
manage their households, and give the00:51:09
adversary no occasion for slander. So in00:51:11
the same letter, Paul's writing to00:51:13
Timothy some instructions to him. Uh00:51:15
because Timothy is now going to be00:51:16
pastoring a flock or shephering a flock.00:51:18
And he's saying, "Look, have the women00:51:21
be married. Okay, this is really00:51:22
important. Have the young widows marry.00:51:24
have the available women marry. Anybody00:51:26
who can lawfully marry, have them marry.00:51:28
You know, let and like he says in 100:51:29
Corinthians chapter 7:2, let each woman00:51:32
have her own husband. Okay, so here it00:51:34
is in 1 Corinthians 7:2. But because of00:51:37
the temptation of sexual immorality,00:51:39
each man should have his own wife and00:51:40
each woman her own husband. Now, pause00:51:42
right there just for a minute. Go to00:51:45
richtidwell.com and read on plural00:51:47
marriage. I explain this in detail00:51:51
there. Okay? Um, you can also read my00:51:53
letter to the Anglicans, uh, which is00:51:56
available on a different article at00:51:57
richtidwell.com. It's on should00:51:59
polygamous families be welcome at00:52:01
church. Um, either of those texts, you00:52:04
can read them and I dive into 100:52:05
Corinthians 7:2. And I'll tell you this,00:52:08
uh, if you download an app called00:52:10
Literal Word onto your phone, whether00:52:12
it's Android or iPhone, it's free. It00:52:14
has the lexicon built in. It's the00:52:15
Abbott Smith Lexicon. Hold down the word00:52:19
own for [clears throat] the husband and00:52:20
the word own for the wife. And you'll00:52:22
see it's two different words. It is uh00:52:25
huttow and idios or idon. Okay, huttow00:52:29
is exclusive ownership. Okay, a husband00:52:32
exclusively owns his wife. Idios is a00:52:35
weakened sense of ownership. Kind of00:52:38
like owning a city. Okay, or owning a00:52:40
language. The book of Acts uses it for00:52:43
languages like they own their language.00:52:45
Well, everybody shares that language or00:52:47
they own their city. That's what's said00:52:48
in the gospels. Okay. So, iddios or idon00:52:52
is a weakened sense of ownership. And00:52:55
Paul uses idios for the wife owning the00:52:58
husband. It's a weakened sense of00:53:00
ownership. In other words, in the first00:53:02
century, he recognizes plural marriages.00:53:04
He's not giving a protocol for divorce.00:53:07
He recognizes that women share husbands.00:53:09
It's literally part of Israel's long00:53:11
history. And he's stating that each00:53:14
woman should have her own husband. In00:53:16
order for this to be fulfilled, friends,00:53:18
when women outnumber men in the church,00:53:20
polygyny must be practiced. Women will00:53:24
end up sharing a husband if they obey00:53:27
this commandment that each woman is to00:53:29
have a godly believing husband. It's00:53:32
just statistically a fact. We're going00:53:35
to look at that later tonight. But let's00:53:38
get into Andrew. Finally, we're at00:53:40
Andrew Wilson and we're only a minute00:53:42
and 38 into this video and I have uh had00:53:46
to do a lot of work because they straw00:53:48
manned me at the beginning. So, now00:53:50
we're going to continue on. Andrew is00:53:51
going to make some pretty bad statements00:53:53
here right at the beginning and we're00:53:54
going to rip those apart as well. Let's00:53:56
go.ly.00:53:58
It's hard for me to care as much00:53:59
anymore. I used to hit this issue hard00:54:01
on polygyny00:54:03
>> um with the multiple wives thing. And00:54:05
you're right, it's not biblical and it's00:54:07
completely immoral and it's totally00:54:08
unjustified.00:54:10
>> Okay, so three three rapid fire00:54:12
statements. Not biblical. Well, I just00:54:14
showed you it was biblical, Andrew. So,00:54:16
that's not going to hold water. Um, not00:54:19
moral. Okay, lots of support. No00:54:21
prohibition. Morality is defined by00:54:24
scripture and the law of God has not00:54:26
declared polygyny sin. Therefore, it is00:54:28
moral and God has participated in it.00:54:30
Mr. Wilson, he he has participated in00:54:33
giving men wives in the biblical00:54:36
narrative. God doesn't sin. He's holy.00:54:39
Be careful about your statements because00:54:41
you are declaring not only the00:54:42
patriarchs to be immoral, incontinent00:54:45
perverts, but you're declaring God to be00:54:49
those things. May it never be. God00:54:52
forbid that idea. God is holy and moral.00:54:57
And you need to watch your watch your00:54:59
statements, my friends. Their00:55:01
implications are important. Jesus said,00:55:03
Andrew, Jesus said that we are going to00:55:06
give an account for every careless word00:55:08
we speak. I know you do a lot of shows.00:55:10
I know you do a lot of debating, but00:55:12
your careless words, you're going to00:55:13
give an account for them. You got to00:55:15
repent and stop just saying whatever00:55:17
comes to mind. All right. Then you said00:55:19
it's unjustified. Uh marriage is divine.00:55:22
So I made that argument already. Matthew00:55:24
19:6 and all those others. Uh what God00:55:26
has joined together, let no man00:55:27
separate. And I've already proven that00:55:28
God joined David to his wives, Jacob to00:55:30
his wives, Abraham to his wives, so on00:55:33
and so forth. Uh, but I would present00:55:35
it's absolutely justified on the basis00:55:37
of the birth rates being at 1.6 children00:55:40
per women, which I'm going to talk about00:55:42
a little more deeply because you're00:55:44
going to bring up a study in a minute00:55:45
that um, and I well, you're going to00:55:47
bring up a statistic that you don't cite00:55:49
anything. Um, and I'm going to give you00:55:51
a study that actually refutes that00:55:53
statistic. So, but again, it's totally00:55:56
justified. We are in red alert. I don't00:55:58
know why conservatives are acting like00:56:00
this isn't a big deal. Elon Musk is00:56:02
correct. 1.6 for the birth weight rate00:56:05
when Muslims are replacing at like three00:56:08
children and higher um is very dangerous00:56:11
for the West. And you need to get a00:56:13
little more serious about this, Andrew.00:56:15
I mean, this is this is not a game. 1.600:56:18
and it's 1.6 at the status quo that you00:56:21
think is so great. It's 1.6 6. If we if00:56:25
doing it the way you think works,00:56:28
monogamy only, we're at 1.6, friend.00:56:31
Time to try something new. Um, okay.00:56:33
Divinity of marriage. Now, I want to00:56:35
present this to Andrew. I don't think00:56:36
he's ever considered this argument00:56:38
before. Okay. Sin is on the basis of00:56:41
what the scriptures define. Let me pull00:56:42
this up. Um, sin is lawlessness or sin00:56:45
is transgression of the law. Where00:56:47
there's no law, there's no00:56:48
transgression. We established this with00:56:49
him. I'm sure that he's not considered00:56:52
this. And I'm presenting this to you,00:56:53
Andrew. I'd love to debate this with00:56:55
you. Luke 18 29 and 30. This is Jesus00:56:58
speaking. He says this, "And he said to00:57:00
them, truly I say to you, there's no one00:57:02
who has left house or wife or brothers00:57:04
or parents or children for the sake of00:57:06
the kingdom of God, who will not receive00:57:08
many times more in this time and in the00:57:12
age to come, eternal life." What's Jesus00:57:15
saying there? Well, if you understand00:57:18
ministry, if you've ever been in00:57:19
full-time ministry, Mr. Wilson. I'm not00:57:20
sure you have, but other ministers would00:57:22
understand this. You often have to leave00:57:24
house, wife, children, brothers,00:57:25
parents, all kinds of people behind to00:57:27
go do what God has called you to do. So,00:57:28
I've spent months in other countries00:57:31
preaching, okay? I've spent months in00:57:34
Argentina and South America. I've spent00:57:35
extended periods in Africa. Um, you can00:57:40
be gone for a long time. You leave your00:57:42
family for a long time. Okay? Jesus is00:57:44
saying when you are at that level of00:57:46
commitment, he will multiply these00:57:49
things in your life. Now, I want to00:57:51
point back to 2 Samuel 12. Okay? What00:57:53
happened there? God said, "I gave you00:57:56
your master's house and your master's00:57:58
wives and Israel and Judah. I gave you00:58:00
all these things. I would have given you00:58:01
even more." Jesus is the image of the00:58:05
father. Okay? He's the word of God made00:58:08
flesh. And everything that the father00:58:10
does, the son also does. That's what00:58:12
John 5 says. That's what Jesus said.00:58:14
Okay,00:58:16
Jesus just listed several things. House,00:58:18
wife, brothers, parents, children, and00:58:20
then he says, "I'll multiply it." Look00:58:23
at verse 30. Who will not receive many00:58:24
times more in this time? So, we know00:58:27
he's not talking about heaven. He's00:58:28
talking about right now. So, here's my00:58:30
question to you, Andrew, and everybody00:58:31
who's anti-plamgamy. Okay. Can Jesus00:58:34
multiply houses for a person? Well,00:58:36
yeah. I don't think anybody would00:58:38
disagree with that in the list. How00:58:39
about brothers? Yeah, we're all brothers00:58:41
in Christ. He can multiply brothers.00:58:43
Parents, yeah, even Jesus indicated that00:58:45
whoever does the will of God is my00:58:47
mother and my brother and my sister. So,00:58:49
he certainly does that. Children, yeah,00:58:50
of course, God can give us more00:58:52
children. The scriptures say that00:58:53
children are a reward from the Lord.00:58:54
Okay. But wife is in the list, Mr.00:58:57
Wilson. Wife is in the list. Can wife be00:59:00
multiplied or is wife exempted? And how00:59:04
is wife exempted?00:59:06
On what basis other than prejudice and00:59:09
bias? What scripture would indicate,00:59:12
I've got 2 Samuel 12 78, God multiplies00:59:15
wives for David. On what basis00:59:17
scripturally do you deny that wife can00:59:20
be multiplied by Jesus? Because Jesus00:59:22
here is saying that that whole list can00:59:24
be multiplied. Good luck with that one,00:59:26
Andrew. Let's continue on. But didn't00:59:29
they just marry four guys?00:59:31
>> It's so simp they they just00:59:33
>> All right, bringing up conflating00:59:35
homosexuality and polygyny. Once again,00:59:37
this is just an echo chamber. Um they00:59:40
are polar opposites. One is procreative,00:59:43
one is destructive. Polyandry is00:59:45
unlawful. In fact um in Romans chapter 700:59:51
uh well Romans 1:26 and 27. For this00:59:53
reason God gave them up to dishonorable00:59:55
passions. For the women exchanged00:59:57
natural relations for those that are00:59:58
contrary to nature. And the men likewise01:00:01
gave up natural relations with women and01:00:03
were consumed with passion for one01:00:04
another. men committing shameless acts01:00:06
with men and receiving in themselves the01:00:08
due penalty for their error. Uh some01:00:10
people try and point out that the women01:00:11
are allowed to have sexual relations01:00:13
with each other. That's gross. That's01:00:14
not true. Um if you notice, the word01:00:17
likewise in the Greek is used here and01:00:19
the word actually combines and it's01:00:21
saying that the men in the exact same01:00:23
way as the women were having homosexual01:00:26
relations. So both are unlawful in the01:00:27
eyes of God. uh Romans 7:es 2 and 3. For01:00:30
a married woman is bound by law to her01:00:32
husband while he lives. But if her01:00:34
husband dies, she is released from the01:00:36
law of marriage. Accordingly, she will01:00:38
be called an adulteress if she lives01:00:39
with another man uh while her husband is01:00:41
alive. But if her husband dies, she is01:00:43
free from that law. And if she marries01:00:44
another man, she is not an adulteress. I01:00:46
way prefer the NASB's translation here01:00:48
because it says if she joins herself to01:00:50
another man, it's talking about sexual01:00:52
intercourse, not just living together.01:00:54
This is kind of like Christianes built01:00:56
into the ESV here. um joined together.01:00:59
So if she's joined with a man who's not01:01:01
her husband, it's adultery. This is why01:01:04
Jesus says of the divorced woman, any01:01:05
man who marries a divorced woman commits01:01:07
adultery. If the woman is one flesh with01:01:09
the believer, she is not available until01:01:10
that believer dies. Period. Full stop.01:01:13
Um so obviously we're not supporting01:01:16
polyandry or homosexuality because we01:01:18
don't believe that the wives can sleep01:01:20
with each other. Uh and we don't believe01:01:23
uh that that women can have other01:01:24
husbands or any of that nonsense. So01:01:26
polygyny is the only thing that's01:01:28
righteous and lawful here that we're01:01:29
discussing. There's celibacy, there's01:01:31
heterosexual monogamy, heterosexual01:01:33
polygyny, that's all lawful.01:01:35
Homosexuality, even within polygyny,01:01:37
unlawful. Polyandry, unlawful. So I just01:01:40
want to clarify. We are not supporting01:01:42
uh four guys marrying or polyamorous or01:01:45
polyanderous relationships. Okay. And we01:01:48
should not conflate them. Here we go.01:01:50
>> Just married four guys. Yeah.01:01:52
>> We have gay thrpples.01:01:54
>> Yeah, they just married. They just short01:01:55
of a restaurant.01:01:57
>> Yeah, [laughter] we did that. Where was01:01:58
that at? Do you remember?01:01:59
>> Oh, it was somewhere in Europe, I think.01:02:01
>> Yeah, just01:02:03
someone's probably going to sell them a01:02:04
baby. >> But the thing the thing is is like01:02:06
>> it doesn't become a thing.01:02:07
>> Oh, I think it was the UK.01:02:08
>> Leftist logic can't ground any of this.01:02:11
So, leftists can't really tell you that01:02:12
this is immoral. They can't. Um because01:02:15
if they make the claim that, well, three01:02:18
people getting married is immoral,01:02:20
right? How we would just ask them, well,01:02:22
how would you ground that? They would01:02:23
just say the societal consequences are01:02:25
bad. Like I could do that.01:02:27
>> Okay. So Andrew is actually making a01:02:29
point that I would agree with. Uh01:02:31
leftists couldn't claim that this is01:02:32
immoral. My point to you, Andrew, is01:02:34
neither can you. You notice that Andrew01:02:38
is not citing a scripture here. He's not01:02:40
saying that uh this is sin according to,01:02:44
you know, it is written blah blah blah.01:02:46
Right? There's no um scripture that says01:02:49
polygyny is sin and an abomination. you01:02:52
know, that's that's second opinions, you01:02:54
know, chapter 1 verse two. That that's01:02:57
just made up by the Romanized church.01:03:00
Okay. What a lot of people don't realize01:03:03
is Catholicism has had a tremendous01:03:05
effect on all of Christian society and01:03:08
in the negative sense because01:03:11
Catholicism teaches tradition over01:03:12
scripture. So, Catholicism is Roman and01:03:16
Roman tradition was monogamy only. It's01:03:18
not scriptural. It's not Hebraic. It's01:03:20
not Israelite. It's It's not accurate.01:03:23
It's not biblical to be monogamy only.01:03:27
Celibacy, monogamy, or polygyny are all01:03:29
righteous in the Bible. Monogamy only is01:03:32
not acceptable. Okay. So, my point,01:03:34
Andrew, leftists can't claim it's01:03:36
immoral. You're right, but neither can01:03:38
you. You can't sign a single Bible verse01:03:41
that indicates it's immoral. And we've01:03:43
already established this a few times,01:03:44
but 1 John 3:4, sin is lawlessness or01:03:47
sin is transgression of the law. Romans01:03:49
4:15, uh, where there is no law, there01:03:51
is no transgression. So you, there is no01:03:54
sin. If you can't site a law, there's no01:03:56
sin. Andrew, let's move on. With01:03:59
homosexuality or any number of different01:04:01
things. So that makes no sense as an01:04:02
argument,01:04:03
>> right?01:04:04
>> Ultimately, this right, you're going to01:04:06
see more of it under leftist rule01:04:08
because they're going to have less and01:04:10
less way to combat it with any sort of01:04:12
ground. like how okay you're going to01:04:15
see more of this under leftist rule is01:04:17
nonsense because Israel was not under01:04:19
leftist rule and polygamy was practiced01:04:21
regularly starting with the patriarchs.01:04:23
So that argument doesn't hold water. Uh01:04:26
leftists hate procreative sex. I don't01:04:29
know if you've noticed but homosexuality01:04:31
doesn't produce children. Polyandry is01:04:34
actually bottlenecking children. It's01:04:35
it's causing men to not be able to have01:04:37
kids cuz only one dude can have kids01:04:39
with the wife at a time. and two, she01:04:42
might have made them all get snipped01:04:43
anyways, or she's on contraception, and01:04:45
so she's just like a black hole. Um, so01:04:48
no, these these other sexual deviencies,01:04:51
these these acts that are clearly sin in01:04:54
scripture, they are not procreative. So01:04:56
LGBTQ stuff does not align. Notice that01:05:00
there's not a P, it's not LGBTQ P01:05:03
because polygyny is not part of that01:05:05
movement. I don't know where you're01:05:07
getting this conflation from, but it's01:05:08
nonsense. Okay? Could they tell them no?01:05:11
>> Yes,01:05:12
>> they can't tell them no. That if they go01:05:13
to them and say, "Look, how could this01:05:15
possibly be worse for society than01:05:17
homosexual monkey pox?" Right?01:05:20
[laughter] Um they're not the the01:05:22
argument back's going to be, "Well, I I01:05:23
guess it's not." And you do you, bro, as01:05:25
long as you're not hurting anybody.01:05:26
>> My dad called it monkey around pox. I01:05:28
think >> why we need why we need u uh you know,01:05:31
monogamy more than anything else is01:05:33
because we have an equal distribution of01:05:35
men to women.01:05:37
He doesn't cite anything to prove that01:05:40
statement. And I can show you that there01:05:42
is not an equal distribution of men to01:05:44
women. Some studies show at birth01:05:47
there's an almost equal distribution,01:05:50
but not later in life and certainly not01:05:52
in the church. There's a genetic study01:05:53
that was done in 2014, pretty01:05:55
substantial study. Female population has01:05:57
always outnumbered males historically01:05:59
according to our genes. So genetic01:06:02
studies show that women do outnumber men01:06:04
not just now but all throughout history.01:06:07
This has always been a fact of history01:06:09
that women outnumber men. And then I01:06:12
also want to present to you um the01:06:14
London School of Economics uh released a01:06:17
study. I'm actually going to show oops01:06:19
sorry I'm actually going to show this01:06:20
study multiple times. This study01:06:22
highlights that many of the fears around01:06:24
the impacts of this practice, aka01:06:25
polygyny, are unfounded and brings us01:06:28
toward a more accurate data-driven01:06:30
assessment of polygyny's effects on01:06:32
society. These effects vary across01:06:34
societies and vary with the ability of01:06:35
societies to protect the rights of women01:06:37
and children. The data makes it clear,01:06:39
however, that polygyny does not01:06:40
necessarily or usually create large01:06:42
numbers of unmarried men. In fact, high01:06:45
polygyny communities usually have the01:06:47
demography and social norms that01:06:49
facilitate men marrying at even higher01:06:51
rates than men in low polygyny01:06:53
communities. How is that possible?01:06:56
Because there are more women than men.01:07:00
This came out in October of 2025. This01:07:04
study that came out, okay, uh let me01:07:06
show you the actual study. Uh this is01:07:09
from the um largest study ever on the01:07:13
topic. It's from the National Academy of01:07:15
Sciences, okay? PNAS.01:07:17
And this study studied01:07:21
84 million census records across 3001:07:24
countries. This is the most01:07:25
comprehensive study of polygyny that's01:07:28
ever been done. It defeats any other01:07:30
polygyny study because it's so01:07:32
comprehensive, it's gigantic.01:07:35
84 million census records from 3001:07:38
countries. Okay. Largest study ever on01:07:41
this topic. And what it indicates is01:07:42
more men end up married and women end up01:07:45
married too. But more men end up married01:07:47
because there are plenty of women. There01:07:50
is not an equal distribution of men to01:07:53
women. There are more women than there01:07:55
are men. And if everybody ended up01:07:58
married, if every man ended up married01:08:00
and we only practice monogamy, there01:08:03
would have to forcefully be single women01:08:07
because they outnumber the men. Okay?01:08:09
So, it's only at birth that there's a01:08:11
similar number, but later as we progress01:08:14
in life, there's not. Also, secondly,01:08:16
Andrew, uh, Pew Research indicates that,01:08:19
and let me pull this up for you to see,01:08:21
Pew Research, their religious landscape01:08:23
study, this is their newest one from01:08:25
2024, I believe, Christian men, there's01:08:27
59%01:08:29
of men identify as Christians in the01:08:31
United States. Okay? 66% of women01:08:35
identify as Christians. So, not only in01:08:37
society itself01:08:39
are there more women than men, in the01:08:42
Christian church, there are more women01:08:45
than men. Good luck with your claims01:08:48
because the statistics are against you,01:08:50
my friend. All right. And again, so that01:08:52
you understand, I cited a genetic study.01:08:55
I also showed you Pewer Research Center01:08:57
that also indicates that there's more01:08:58
women in the church. So, in society and01:09:00
the church. And now I've presented a01:09:02
polygyny study, the biggest one we've01:09:05
ever seen from the National Academy or01:09:07
the I'm sorry, the proceedings of01:09:09
National Academy of Sciences. This is01:09:11
the biggest study ever. I'm going to01:09:12
cite it again in a minute when he makes01:09:14
his next point. Let's continue on.01:09:16
>> And you really want to make sure that01:09:18
the underclass is married and having01:09:20
children because otherwise they start01:09:22
killing people.01:09:23
>> Okay, he made the big point. They start01:09:26
killing people. Okay. Well, once again,01:09:28
the LSE states, even in their title, new01:09:31
study challenges claim polygyny drives01:09:33
men to civil war. Andrew is about to01:09:35
argue that without being married, men01:09:36
are more violent.01:09:38
And this study proves that more men end01:09:41
up married in polygenous societies than01:09:45
in monogamyonly societies. Andrew, just01:09:48
accept the L, buddy. It's it's over,01:09:50
dude. Like, polygyny is coming. Just01:09:52
read Isaiah chapter 4. Okay, so uh this01:09:56
is wild. This is wild. So let me read01:09:58
this. The research also analyzed 84.101:10:00
million census records across 3001:10:02
countries in Africa and Oceanana between01:10:05
1969 2016 alongside 26 million records01:10:09
from the 1880 US census. The reason why01:10:12
they used the 1880 is because Mormons01:10:14
were practicing polygamy openly at that01:10:17
time. And so that part of the US census01:10:19
would actually show polygyny data. Just01:10:22
six of the 74 censuses from 1969 to01:10:25
2016, 8% showed more unmarried men in01:10:29
high polygyny regions than in low01:10:30
polygyny regions. Okay, so only um just01:10:34
six of the 74 censuses, so 8% only 8%01:10:38
actually said what Andrew's claim is01:10:41
that they ended up unmarried and01:10:42
violent. So 8% that's very low, showed01:10:45
more unmarried men in high polygyny uh01:10:47
regions than in low polygyny ones. while01:10:49
34 which is 46% showed the opposite01:10:53
pattern with fewer unmarried men in high01:10:56
polygyny areas areas. In the US case,01:10:58
counties with widespread Mormon polygyny01:11:01
in 1880 had significantly lower rates of01:11:04
unmarried men than neighboring counties.01:11:09
Andrew, your argument is defeated. The01:11:12
researchers showed that this set of01:11:14
findings persisted over a range of01:11:16
different statistical analyses and after01:11:19
accounting for local sex ratios. Okay.01:11:23
Uh the authors point out that in01:11:25
subsaharan Africa, high rates of01:11:26
polygyny tend to occur in communities01:11:28
that also place a high value on marriage01:11:30
in general. So in other words, societies01:11:33
that practice polygyny value marriage01:11:34
more than societies that don't. Studies01:11:37
show that people in high polygyny01:11:38
communities report larger ideal family01:11:40
sizes. And men in these settings are01:11:42
less likely to remain childless by01:11:44
midlife. Uh uh case in point, I have01:11:46
eight children and two wives. Similarly,01:11:49
historical Mormon polygyny in the 19th01:11:50
century United States was sustained by01:11:52
intense social and religious pressure to01:11:55
marry. Overall, the evidence suggests01:11:57
that cultural norms favoring marriage in01:11:58
high polygyny settings can outweigh the01:12:00
demographic constraints that polygyny01:12:02
places on all men's ability to marry.01:12:05
Again, there's more women than men. For01:12:08
instance, in a stable population of01:12:10
25-year-old men and women with high and01:12:12
equal life expecties, 1% of men, okay,01:12:17
could marry 2.5 wives on average, while01:12:21
99% of men could still marry one wife01:12:24
each. In contrast, in a quickly growing01:12:27
population where life expectancy is low,01:12:29
women live longer than men and men marry01:12:31
younger women. Over 50% of 45-year-old01:12:35
men could marry multiple wives while01:12:36
leaving enough women for all other men01:12:40
to marry. Okay? So, 45year-old men could01:12:44
marry multiple wives and there'd still01:12:46
be plenty of women for other men to01:12:49
marry. In fact, those men could marry01:12:51
2.5 or three wives somewhere around01:12:53
there and the numbers would actually01:12:55
work out well. There you go. There's the01:12:57
data. These modeled scenarios closely01:13:00
match the conditions in many subsaharan01:13:02
African populations, helping to explain01:13:04
why polygyny is both common and01:13:06
sustainable in the region. Good luck,01:13:08
Andrew. Let's continue on.01:13:11
>> In a big way, collectively, they start01:13:13
killing people because one of the01:13:15
biggest accesses01:13:16
>> I just showed you an the biggest01:13:20
polygyny study that indicates no01:13:22
violence actually decreases in01:13:24
polygynous societies. So, this point is01:13:27
moot. of resources for men isn't the01:13:30
money and it isn't the it isn't the01:13:32
sports car and it isn't the that it's01:13:34
sexual access and sex01:13:36
>> they have sexual access because the01:13:38
women outnumber the men01:13:39
>> and what you get with a wife is sexual01:13:42
access and that is part of the01:13:43
domestication of men which allows a01:13:45
society to function. That's why monogous01:13:48
societies do way better than polygenous01:13:50
societies do.01:13:52
>> So right now he's just arguing a01:13:54
fallacy. They do way better. Cite01:13:57
something, buddy. I just cited the01:13:58
actual study that shows no, they don't01:14:01
because of that sexual access.01:14:02
>> No, and it's true. And it's it's like01:14:03
the varying degrees of wholesomeness01:14:04
because you can have guys who say, "I01:14:06
genuinely just want to have a family."01:14:07
And so they get married. And then there01:14:08
are some guys who they're just trying to01:14:09
have sex, but in a monogous culture,01:14:11
that drive is oriented towards something01:14:13
productive instead of destructive,01:14:14
>> which is producing. Yes.01:14:15
>> Okay. Productive instead of destructive.01:14:18
Again, polygyny is productive. I have01:14:21
eight kids. Okay? That's productive.01:14:25
Many Christians are getting surgery like01:14:28
vasectomies. They're they're they're01:14:30
practicing uh contraception. They're01:14:33
tying their tubes. That's destructive.01:14:35
Tons of monogously married Christians01:14:39
are practicing vasectomies. They're01:14:41
like, "Ah, we had one kid, two kids.01:14:42
It's too much." You know, they're not01:14:44
entrusting the womb to the Lord. Okay.01:14:48
Polygyny is also good in those01:14:49
circumstances because the people who01:14:50
really want to have babies can still01:14:52
link up and marry and we don't have to01:14:54
do this whole, well, I don't want to01:14:55
have a bunch of kids. Well, I do. You01:14:57
know, these these unequally yolked01:14:59
marriages where like one person really01:15:01
wants to have kids. Maybe it's the man01:15:02
and the woman is like, no, I don't want01:15:04
any kids. Well, he can take another01:15:06
wife. People who want to have lots of01:15:07
kids through polygyny can marry someone01:15:09
else who wants to have lots of kids.01:15:11
Okay. Uh abortion and homosexuality are01:15:13
destructive, gentlemen. So, I don't know01:15:16
what you're talking about.01:15:17
But abortion is what's destructive, not01:15:20
polygyny. I actually tweeted this uh01:15:22
earlier this week. It got, let's see,01:15:24
this one got 18,000 [clears throat]01:15:26
views. I had a few that got over half a01:15:28
million views. And in this one, I was01:15:30
saying, "Why am I advocating for01:15:32
polygamy in the West?" Okay. Western01:15:34
birth rates are 1.6 per woman, well01:15:37
below the 2.1 required to maintain a01:15:39
stable population. So, they're talking01:15:40
about being productive. Okay. Well,01:15:43
we're at the status quo monogamy only01:15:45
that you guys seem to love. 1.6 is not01:15:48
very productive. So, your argument is is01:15:50
not very strong. Um, okay. Meanwhile,01:15:53
Muslim fertility is at 2.9 per woman01:15:56
with some regions at 3.6.01:15:59
Subsaharan Africa is the highest on01:16:01
Earth at 4.3 children per woman. What do01:16:04
Africa and the Middle East especially01:16:06
Muslims practice? Polygyny. What does01:16:08
the West refuse to practice even as01:16:10
she's in decline? Polygyny. Elon Musk01:16:13
frequently sounds the alarm, but no one01:16:15
is offering a viable option for quickly01:16:17
increasing birth rates to 2.1 or higher.01:16:20
Polygyny is a feasible option. That's01:16:22
what I'm presenting, and you guys are01:16:24
saying, "Oh, it's destructive." But you01:16:26
literally have no scriptures to prove01:16:28
it's destructive. You have no um studies01:16:31
that are greater than the polygyny one I01:16:33
just presented. And you have no01:16:35
statistics that are showing it's01:16:37
destructive. In fact, polygyny will01:16:39
result in more kids just like we see in01:16:41
Africa01:16:42
>> producing literally producing01:16:44
>> literally01:16:46
I just want to make this point. George01:16:48
George Gilder writes about this in his01:16:49
book Men in Marriage where he points out01:16:51
and this is written in like the late '01:16:53
80s early 90s I believe but he points01:16:55
out that literally in every society01:16:56
throughout all of history the most01:16:58
dangerous people around have been01:16:59
unmarried young men. If you can create a01:17:02
>> okay already looked at it in the the01:17:04
study shows01:17:06
it's just irrefutable. I hope you guys01:17:08
see this. Um the National Academy of01:17:10
Sciences study shows that more men end01:17:12
up married in polygyny and they become01:17:14
less violent. Why? Why? So here's a01:17:17
personal like take on that. Why does01:17:19
that happen? Men are not afraid to get01:17:22
locked into a bad marriage. I really01:17:23
believe that's what it comes down to.01:17:25
And I'm not just saying that. I'm saying01:17:27
that I really believe that men realize01:17:30
that okay, even if marriage doesn't go01:17:32
well with the first wife, I'm able to01:17:33
take more wives. Women also improve01:17:37
their behavior because Vashi knows she01:17:40
can be replaced by Esther and she01:17:43
doesn't take advantage of her man and01:17:44
she instead desires to be an Esther01:17:47
instead of a Vashi. So men are way more01:17:50
likely to enter the marriage arena if01:17:52
they know that even if the wife that01:17:56
they select um ends up not wanting to01:17:59
have kids or more kids or you know she's01:18:01
really you know critical or or really01:18:04
difficult and and not very compatible01:18:07
that he can still take additional wives01:18:09
and have offspring and children and not01:18:11
have all of his possessions ripped out01:18:13
from under him. um you know that that01:18:16
biblically a woman cannot even divorce01:18:19
her husband in scripture. You that's not01:18:21
how it works. She can't go oh he slept01:18:24
with somebody else so I get to divorce01:18:25
him. No. Like the scriptures don't01:18:27
actually permit that. That's why a woman01:18:29
in Mark it says who divorces her husband01:18:31
and marries another man commits01:18:33
adultery. Jesus said that. Do we even01:18:36
believe in Jesus's words anymore or is01:18:38
it just all Rome all the way? you know,01:18:40
we're just going to go with romance and01:18:42
and Roman law, or are we going to get01:18:44
back to the Bible? So, Proverbs 21:9, a01:18:47
few of these proverbial writings from01:18:49
Solomon, the maybe the most prolific uh01:18:52
polygynist to ever exist, um wrote this,01:18:55
and I think this is why men oftenimes01:18:58
are afraid to enter the marriage uh01:19:01
arena when they don't have any ability01:19:05
to marry again. if they marry one, they01:19:09
can't marry again. And so they're, you01:19:12
know, they're fearful of how that could01:19:13
go and statistically it looks like it01:19:15
could go bad and they don't want to end01:19:18
up in this situation. Proverbs 21:9, it01:19:20
is better to live in a corner of the01:19:22
housetop than in a house shared with a01:19:24
quarrelome wife. Okay, so a polygamist01:19:26
wrote this and it's true. This is not01:19:30
good. So a man can take another wife. If01:19:32
a wife turns against him, uh, Mikyle01:19:34
turned against David. So David married01:19:37
Abigail and Henuham. They loved him.01:19:39
They thought he was great. Abigail uh01:19:41
thought he was a you know wonderful man01:19:43
and she prophesied over him. Meanwhile,01:19:45
Miky despised him. So David didn't have01:19:49
to live being despised for the rest of01:19:51
his life. Proverbs 21:1 19. It is better01:19:54
to live in a desert land than with a01:19:57
with a quarrelome and fretful woman.01:19:59
Okay. So again, I think men are01:20:02
concerned about these things and with01:20:03
polygyny on the table, they become way01:20:05
less concerned and they're way more01:20:07
willing to marry a girl um who they01:20:10
might have been more apprehensive about01:20:12
prior. Proverbs 27:15, a continual01:20:16
dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelome01:20:18
wife are alike. Okay, so are you seeing01:20:20
the the the commonality here that a01:20:22
quarome wife, a contentious wife is not01:20:25
a good thing? Polygyny actually helps01:20:27
men to not get caught up in those01:20:29
situations and it takes the power away01:20:31
from Vashi uh and it gives it back to01:20:34
the man and he's able to find his01:20:36
Esther. Okay, let's continue on.01:20:39
>> A population of un perpetually unmarried01:20:42
killers. They're going to be killers.01:20:44
Now, here's the thing for corporate01:20:45
America. Those people make great01:20:46
consumers. And so, it seems as if01:20:48
there's been this effort to keep men01:20:49
young and unmarried, but to kind of01:20:51
unicize them so that they're good01:20:52
producers and they're not scary. That01:20:54
doesn't work. They're still going to be01:20:56
scary man. >> Yeah, but they're not like inherently01:20:58
killers. That's not what I mean by that.01:20:59
But what it is is it's like where do you01:21:02
go? You you would go into the military.01:21:04
You would become mercenaries and you01:21:06
would be way more willing to take high01:21:08
risk things for high reward. Uh because01:21:10
that's where like the dopamine hit comes01:21:12
the fun. Again, there's no resource01:21:14
sync, right? And and so that's this01:21:17
isn't like men bad. This is just01:21:19
realistic men. Yeah. Men benevolent01:21:22
actually. But but the my point is is01:21:24
just to point this out is like the01:21:26
reason you want your young men married01:21:28
and producing families and you don't01:21:30
want them sidelined with no sexual01:21:32
access is because if you have like 20%01:21:34
of your population that's like that,01:21:36
you're going to have a serious problem01:21:38
on your hands where Okay. So literally01:21:41
for a long time they're discussing a01:21:44
total fallacy because I presented the01:21:46
study that indicates that none of what01:21:48
they're saying is accurate regarding01:21:50
this whole like we're going to have01:21:51
violent men. It's just not true. Are01:21:53
these people don't they're not01:21:54
riskaverse.01:21:55
>> Well, why do you think it's so easy to01:21:57
recruit young Muslim men to terrorist01:21:59
cells?01:22:00
>> Yeah, I was going to say, okay,01:22:01
terrorist cells. Okay. Muslims are void01:22:04
of Christ. You're now comparing apples01:22:06
to oranges. Marriage doesn't fix sin.01:22:10
Okay. Marriage doesn't fix sin. So, it's01:22:13
not monogamy or polygyny that fixes sin.01:22:16
Uh Christ is the one who heals sin. John01:22:19
8, who the sun sets free will be free01:22:22
indeed. It's Christ who does it. So01:22:23
being void of Christ is why people join01:22:26
terrorist cells, not polygyny. This is01:22:28
insane. This is literally insane. The01:22:30
the prejudice is insane. [laughter]01:22:34
It's hard to even witness it. It's like01:22:37
how are we so programmed to be so01:22:39
against this? And all I can figure is we01:22:41
all watched David Caresh in Texas in01:22:43
Waco and we just said, "Yeah, that's01:22:46
evil." And it was evil. The man took01:22:48
other men's wives. That's unlawful.01:22:50
That's adultery. That's wickedness. So,01:22:52
anyone doing this biblically wouldn't do01:22:54
that. Warren Jeffs took child brides.01:22:56
Unlawful. It's wicked. You know, it's01:22:58
gross. Children can't consent. So, no.01:23:02
You're you're utilizing things. You have01:23:05
these presuppositions01:23:07
of, well, I witnessed bad versions of01:23:09
it, so it's always bad. And it's just01:23:11
not true. It's a bad conclusion. And no,01:23:14
people who are Christians practicing01:23:15
polygyny are not going to join terrorist01:23:16
cells. I'm raising eight kids. Ain't got01:23:19
no time for no terrorist cells. Let's01:23:21
go.01:23:22
>> Why do you think it was so easy for01:23:23
terrorist cells? Well, [laughter]01:23:25
>> think about how easy it was to recruit01:23:26
mercenaries under the promise you carry01:23:28
off the enemy women,01:23:30
>> right? The idea here, the idea here was01:23:32
always the same. They were plunderer01:23:33
once upon a time. I mean so they but the01:23:36
ultimately if you have 20% 15% something01:23:39
like this01:23:40
>> who are not risk averse and they are01:23:42
high testosterone and not risk aver Oh01:23:44
man.01:23:45
>> Yeah. But also in terms of polygamy like01:23:48
you look at the Arab cultures for01:23:50
>> okay so we're going into slippery slope01:23:52
fallacies again you know this produces01:23:55
that you know and this produces that and01:23:57
it's just not true. Polygyny does not01:23:58
produce terrorist cells. Uh that is just01:24:02
wild. There's no correlation there.01:24:05
>> For example, they've got a huge problem01:24:06
with this in the sense that a lot of the01:24:08
top status men get all of the wives and01:24:10
then it creates this huge underclass of01:24:12
men.01:24:13
>> Okay, once again, not true. This is a01:24:16
fallacy. I showed this the study. Let's01:24:19
continue on.01:24:20
>> And you'll notice that all of the01:24:22
immigrants coming into Europe, there's01:24:24
not many women and children. It's all01:24:25
men. And what that is is it's the01:24:27
underclass of men who have no access to01:24:29
women.01:24:30
>> Okay? He's not citing any studies. It's01:24:32
not all men, okay? There are men coming01:24:35
over. They're not an underclass of men.01:24:38
They're men who are committed to jihad01:24:40
and to taking over the West. If you01:24:43
listen to their imams, their imams are01:24:45
telling them to move here01:24:47
>> and outbur us. So that is their goal.01:24:51
That's why they're coming over trying to01:24:53
get it. >> I never even thought about that.01:24:55
>> Yeah. So they're coming into these into01:24:56
these western countries and you imagine01:24:57
they're coming into Sweden and they see01:24:59
a blonde hair, blue-eyed girl who's got01:25:01
a wearing a short skirt and to them01:25:03
she's essentially a prostitute.01:25:04
>> Well, and we we have been told through01:25:06
very >> Yeah. And they're void of Christ. So01:25:08
what I agree with is the Muslim invasion01:25:10
not good. But these people are void of01:25:12
Christ. The problem is being void of01:25:14
Christ. Not marriage. Marriage is not01:25:17
the issue. Being void of Jesus. They're01:25:20
unregenerate. They're depraved. They01:25:23
need Christ. When Muslims convert,01:25:25
friends, what are we going to do? Okay,01:25:27
what are you going to do? I believe 101:25:29
Corinthians 7:2 welcomes plural01:25:31
families. I already made that argument01:25:32
earlier that there's huttow and idios.01:25:34
And so iddios is a communal ownership.01:25:36
It's a weakened form of ownership. Um,01:25:39
and that that was Paul welcoming polo01:25:42
families. We know the New Testament has01:25:44
no protocol denying them attending01:25:46
church. Um, but also there is the fact01:25:51
that Jesus illustrates himself as01:25:53
plurally married in Matthew 25:1. Then01:25:55
the kingdom of heaven will be like 1001:25:57
virgins who took their lamps and went01:25:58
out to meet the bridegroom. He's the01:26:00
bridegroom. 2 Corinthians 11:2, for I01:26:02
feel a divine jealousy for you since I01:26:04
betrothed you to one husband to present01:26:06
you as a pure virgin to Christ. So each01:26:09
church is a virgin and each church is01:26:13
betrothed to Christ. That's plural01:26:15
marriage imagery. It's not wicked. So,01:26:17
we can welcome Muslim converts into our01:26:19
churches. So, with a Muslim invasion, we01:26:22
need to evangelize. We need to proitize.01:26:24
Okay? When we proitize them, we need to01:26:27
welcome their plural families into our01:26:28
church because it's not unlawful.01:26:30
Because a lot of them have more than one01:26:32
wife. All right? I live in Kansas City.01:26:34
I see a lot of Muslims and there are01:26:36
definitely polygamous families that are01:26:39
Muslim. They just don't, you know, they01:26:41
don't put it on the census records,01:26:42
right? because uh they know how society01:26:45
feels about it. Now we need to01:26:47
evangelize them and then welcome their01:26:49
families. All right, let's continue.01:26:51
>> Inbred may not know better honestly,01:26:53
which is why you probably shouldn't01:26:54
bring them to your to your country.01:26:55
>> 65% of Pakistan.01:26:56
>> Yeah, 65% of Pakistan. That's01:26:59
outrageous.01:27:00
>> But like yeah, you look at the grooming01:27:01
gangs over there and uh they they were01:27:05
essentially their excuse was that well,01:27:07
you know, in in our culture this is01:27:09
allowed. these are essentially spoils of01:27:11
war here and they're not Muslims so they01:27:13
don't get treated the same as us and01:27:15
that was their justification for it. So01:27:16
it's not like it was frowned upon or01:27:18
anything. And and by the stated openly01:27:20
and when these people have to testify01:27:22
they'll say things like this. It is not01:27:23
some kind of hidden secret. They openly01:27:25
acknowledge yes we do think that this is01:27:27
what white girls are for and white women01:27:29
are for. This is not something somebody01:27:31
made up to make you feel01:27:32
>> I agree and this is sick. So I agree01:27:35
with this point they're making. Finally01:27:36
we agree on something.01:27:38
>> Certainly. This is not the billionaire01:27:39
saying the immigrant wants to take your01:27:41
cookie like we've seen in that meme.01:27:42
This is from the This is from their01:27:44
mouths. These are words from their01:27:45
mouths.01:27:46
>> Yep. They're their their sex and01:27:47
relationships starved destitute people01:27:51
coming from polygenist societies.01:27:53
>> Okay. This is there's so much right01:27:56
here. We're almost done actually. Um01:27:58
coming from polygenist societies is what01:28:00
he just said. Okay. He's equating their01:28:02
depravity to being polygenist. This is01:28:04
insane. as if what consequently what01:28:08
that would mean is that monogamy would01:28:11
have healed these Muslims. That's01:28:13
insane, friend. You and I both know if01:28:16
you're a Christian, they're void of the01:28:18
Holy Spirit because they're unregenerate01:28:20
and they don't believe on Jesus Christ.01:28:23
Their issue is not polygyny. Okay? Their01:28:26
issue and their salvation is not01:28:28
marriage. You're acting like monogamy01:28:29
would change the world. Talk about an01:28:32
idol. You know, Jesus is Lord. Monogamy01:28:35
is not Lord. Why are you making an idol01:28:38
out of monogamy like it would save01:28:40
culture? Christ saves culture. Um so01:28:43
you're you're you're producing a false01:28:46
cause fallacy that the immigration01:28:48
crisis is due to polygyny when no open01:28:52
border policies are our problem and01:28:55
those who are coming over are void of01:28:57
Christ. These are the problems not01:28:59
polygyny. What a wild conclusion. Think01:29:02
about the prejudice against polygyny to01:29:03
go, "Yeah, it's polygyny that's making01:29:06
all these Muslim guys so bad01:29:09
>> into Western countries." So, when you01:29:11
think about the magnitude of it,01:29:12
>> and the women are single, right? They're01:29:14
they're using01:29:15
>> Even if they're not, they don't care.01:29:16
>> Well, they're often using their child01:29:17
like kind of their child rearing years01:29:19
to go to college and university, right?01:29:21
Things like this. They don't have a man01:29:22
on their arm. There's nothing to fight01:29:24
the wolves off.01:29:25
>> There's no And the fathers are told,01:29:27
"You're a you're a horrible patriarch if01:29:29
you want to protect your daughter."01:29:30
>> Yeah. It's a it's a I mean, so it's a01:29:31
nightmare. That's he's making a great01:29:34
point. Like, these are good, solid01:29:36
reasons why monogamy.01:29:39
>> These are terrible reasons and they've01:29:41
been refuted repeatedly01:29:44
already in my rebuttals.01:29:46
>> It should be the like go-to for any01:29:49
Western society. Even if it was the01:29:51
case, we didn't believe in God and01:29:52
Christianity, it still should be. Now,01:29:55
look at that. Monogamy is such an idol.01:29:57
They're like, even if we don't believe01:29:58
in God, monogamy will save us. I mean01:30:00
this is this is wild.01:30:02
>> You and I would say the reason is is01:30:04
>> because you're still moving towards God01:30:06
and Christianity. [laughter]01:30:07
>> Okay.01:30:09
Still moving towards God. God, if you're01:30:12
moving towards God, you would learn this01:30:14
about him that he identifies as a01:30:17
polygamist in scripture. He's married to01:30:19
Israel and Judah. He would never use a01:30:21
sinful illustration for himself. He01:30:24
doesn't portray himself as a homosexual.01:30:26
Okay? doesn't portray himself as a01:30:27
murderer, but he does portray himself as01:30:29
a polygamist. Did you know that, Andrew?01:30:32
Jeremiah 3 6-10, uh, in this passage,01:30:36
God is giving divorce certificates to01:30:38
Israel and Judah for them being01:30:40
unfaithful, their sister wives and01:30:42
literal sisters. And then he confirms01:30:44
this in the new covenant passage of01:30:46
Jeremiah 31:es 31 and 32. We're going to01:30:49
read this one. Behold, the days are01:30:51
coming, declares the Lord, when I will01:30:53
make a new covenant with the house of01:30:55
Israel and the house of Judah, not like01:30:57
the covenant which I made with their01:30:58
fathers on the day when I took them by01:31:00
the hand to bring them out of the land01:31:01
of Egypt, my covenant that they broke,01:31:05
though I was their husband, declares the01:31:08
Lord. Uh the NASB would say, though I01:31:11
was a husband to them. So plural01:31:13
language being used, he's a husband to01:31:16
multiple. That's how God identifies. In01:31:18
the New Covenant passage that gets cited01:31:20
in the New Testament, he states that01:31:23
he's a polygamous husband. I don't I01:31:26
don't think you realize that, Andrew. I01:31:28
think a lot of Christians don't realize01:31:29
God is a polygamist. Okay? That's not01:31:32
heresy. I just read it. Matthew 25:1,01:31:36
that the kingdom of heaven will be like01:31:37
10 virgins who took their lamps and went01:31:39
to meet the bridegroom. The whole01:31:41
kingdom of heaven works this way. All01:31:43
the virgins are churches. Jesus is the01:31:45
bridegroom. 2 Corinthians 11:2, for I01:31:47
feel a divine jealousy for you since I01:31:50
betrothed you to one husband to present01:31:52
you as a pure virgin to Christ. Each01:31:55
church a virgin. U now this is further01:31:58
supported by the fact that in Revelation01:32:01
1 through3 there's seven churches and01:32:03
Christ is the bridegroom to all seven.01:32:07
Revelation 1:20. As for the mystery of01:32:09
the seven stars that you saw in my right01:32:11
hand and the seven golden lampstands,01:32:13
the seven stars are the angels of the01:32:15
seven churches. And the seven lampstands01:32:17
are the seven churches. And then Isaiah01:32:20
4, we're going to relate that to this.01:32:23
Isaiah 4 is a messianic passage. And01:32:26
while I do believe it's a literal uh01:32:30
prophecy of plural marriage occurring, I01:32:32
believe it can also be an illustration01:32:34
of Christ with the churches.01:32:37
um solidifying the marriage. It goes01:32:39
from a betroal to a marriage, okay? When01:32:42
he returns. Isaiah 4:1, "And seven women01:32:44
shall take hold of one man in that day,01:32:46
saying, "We will eat our own bread, wear01:32:48
our own clothes, only let us be called01:32:50
by your name, take away our reproach. In01:32:53
that day, the branch of the Lord, which01:32:54
is the Messiah, shall be beautiful and01:32:56
glorious, and the fruit of the land01:32:58
shall be the pride and honor of the01:33:00
survivors in Israel." So, u Andrew said,01:33:04
you know, marriage leads people to God.01:33:06
Well, okay fine if it leads us towards01:33:09
God. What we're going to learn about God01:33:10
is that he is actually identifying as01:33:13
plural and that the son Jesus Christ01:33:15
also identifies as plurally married that01:33:18
but ultimately from the secular01:33:20
perspective just the outcome base it01:33:21
should be that way but because they have01:33:23
to justify the alternative degeneracy01:33:25
they have to endorse this and that's01:33:28
what your societyy's going to look like.01:33:29
>> Exactly. You were right at the beginning01:33:31
when you said it's because we've01:33:33
accepted this morally relative framework01:33:35
that even Christians even Christians01:33:38
especially you know not to sorry01:33:41
Protestants but you guys have this idea01:33:43
that everybody has their right to you01:33:45
know their individual interpretation. So01:33:46
you can't01:33:47
>> okay individual interpretation. Uh yes01:33:50
you're right that's a Protestant01:33:51
position and it's biblical. Okay. Uh,01:33:55
first and foremost, John 14:26,01:33:58
I don't need a pope because of what this01:34:00
says. But the helper, the Holy Spirit,01:34:01
whom the father will send in my name, he01:34:04
will teach you all things and bring to01:34:06
your remembrance all that I have said to01:34:08
you. And we all, every believer has the01:34:10
Holy Spirit. That's promised in Acts01:34:11
chapter 2. Okay. 1 John 27. But the01:34:16
anointing that you receive from him01:34:17
abides in you. That anointing is the01:34:19
Holy Spirit. By the way, John confirms01:34:20
this in the same epistle. But the01:34:22
anointing that you receive from him01:34:23
abides in you, and you have no need that01:34:25
anyone should teach you. But as his01:34:27
anointing teaches you about everything01:34:29
and is true and is no lie, just as it01:34:32
has taught you, abide in him. So the01:34:36
Holy Spirit teaches us everything01:34:39
according to scripture. The Holy Spirit01:34:40
teaches us everything. And moreover, if01:34:44
we go to uh Mark chapter 7 and we look01:34:48
at what Jesus said there, we'll find01:34:50
that, you know, Jesus isn't thrilled01:34:51
about the magisterium of the church and01:34:53
Catholic tradition. Verse 6, and he said01:34:55
to them, well did Isaiah prophesy of you01:34:57
hypocrites. Uh as it is written, this01:35:00
people honors me with their lips, but01:35:01
their heart is far from me. In vain do01:35:03
they worship me, teaching as doctrines01:35:05
the commandments of men. You leave the01:35:08
commandment of God and hold to the01:35:10
tradition of men. And he said to them,01:35:12
you have a fine way of rejecting the01:35:14
commandment of God in order to establish01:35:16
your tradition. And that really01:35:17
summarizes the whole talk this today is01:35:20
is that they are siding with tradition,01:35:23
Roman tradition, Catholic tradition, and01:35:26
they're not siding with scripture and01:35:27
they're not even siding with the truth.01:35:29
I mean, I just shared the actual results01:35:32
of over 80 million census records is01:35:35
that more men end up married, more01:35:37
children are produced, less violence,01:35:39
and here they are just loving the status01:35:41
quo, monogamy only, and we're at 1.601:35:43
births per woman. So, good job, guys.01:35:46
You're really supporting a a solid uh a01:35:48
solid argument this evening.01:35:50
>> That plus the moral relativistic01:35:52
framework, you can't tell this guy no.01:35:54
How are you going to tell him no? And01:35:56
you're letting the Muslims in and they01:35:57
can do it. and uh you're letting the gay01:35:59
throppples adopt B like you can't tell01:36:01
this guy he can't do that01:36:02
>> just hypothetically what would what01:36:04
would stop me from starting a church01:36:06
tomorrow gold like the church of01:36:07
rattlesn01:36:08
>> nothing >> I mean yeah probably nothing and I what01:36:10
is it what's the number you have before01:36:13
your tax exempt it's01:36:14
>> I think it's only two or three it's not01:36:16
many and the thing is is like you may01:36:18
not but you don't even need the 5013C01:36:20
right you can have you can start the01:36:22
church of rattlesnakes as a for-profit01:36:25
church [laughter]01:36:26
>> I mean This is a historical This is a01:36:29
historical pattern church business01:36:31
model.01:36:32
>> This is a historical pattern. If you01:36:33
look at pretty much all of the cults,01:36:35
like all of the heretical cults that01:36:37
have tried to spring out of01:36:38
Christianity, it's always some guy who01:36:41
wants to take [laughter] all the wives.01:36:43
>> Yeah. Okay. So, she's brought up01:36:44
heretical cults. Okay. Warren Jeff's01:36:47
David Crush. These are our two most01:36:49
recent in history examples. Okay. Again,01:36:51
Warren Jeffs, he took child brides and01:36:54
it was forced marriages and01:36:56
non-consensual. These are all wicked01:36:58
things. These are all prohibited by01:36:59
scripture. Okay? Everything's supposed01:37:01
to be consensual and the brides are not01:37:04
supposed to be children. That's gross.01:37:06
All right. Um, number two, David Kesh,01:37:08
Waco, Texas. Everybody's familiar with01:37:10
that one. Two, um, he took other men's01:37:12
wives. That's adultery. So, in both of01:37:14
those cases, the wrath of God came on01:37:16
them. Um, in those cases, those are01:37:19
cults because not because of polygyny,01:37:21
okay? And I'll show you why, but because01:37:23
of sin, they're sinning and they're01:37:26
teaching that something is biblical when01:37:28
it's not. Okay? If polygyny equals cult,01:37:33
just think about the implications of01:37:34
what you just said, sister. Jacob01:37:37
started Israel through polygyny. If01:37:40
polygyny equals cult, Jacob is cult01:37:43
leader and Israel is a cult.01:37:47
your conclusions. I mean, what you've01:37:50
just inferred by stating heretical cults01:37:53
practice polygyny is that Israel is one01:37:56
big cult. And since you're grafted into01:37:59
Israel because you believed on Christ,01:38:01
according to Romans 11, you are a cult01:38:03
member and your patriarchs are cult01:38:06
leaders. You've just insulted the01:38:08
patriarchs. You've insulted God and01:38:11
you've made a false statement because of01:38:14
a prejudice and a bias against polygyny01:38:18
that has no foundation in scripture01:38:19
itself only in Rome. And the truth is01:38:22
you love Rome but here's what you've01:38:23
forgotten is in Daniel01:38:27
Nebuchadnezzar's statue starts with the01:38:29
head of gold which is Babylon. Then it01:38:31
goes to the breastplate of silver which01:38:33
is Meo Persia. Then it goes to the waist01:38:37
u of bronze which is Greece. Then it01:38:40
goes to the legs of iron which is Rome01:38:42
which splits in two. Then it goes to the01:38:45
feet which are iron and clay with the 1001:38:48
toes. That's Europe. We're in the final01:38:51
phase before Jesus returns. Okay. And01:38:54
the mount of the Lord comes and destroys01:38:55
that statue. What's that mean? Rome will01:38:59
fall to Christ's kingdom. And Roman law01:39:05
will bow to biblical law. And Israel is01:39:09
not a cult.01:39:12
>> It's always some guy. It always ends up01:39:14
with By the way, you have to01:39:15
>> How many times has Jesus returned now to01:39:17
bang your wife? It's happened a lot01:39:19
according I [laughter] mean it's01:39:21
happened a ton of times according to a01:39:23
lot of these people who claim that01:39:25
they're the return of Christ.01:39:26
>> All of them. They all01:39:28
>> he pointed towards me. I am not claiming01:39:30
to be the return of Christ. My goodness.01:39:32
and lawful polygyny is not a cult.01:39:35
>> They all end up, you know, they'll and01:39:36
they usually start with a different me01:39:38
message. They'll start with something01:39:39
that appeals to like people who are01:39:41
easily sucked into cult mentalities and01:39:43
then by the time you get01:39:45
>> I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm01:39:46
a bit of a pmicist and I'm not very01:39:48
appealing. Okay? I like to stick to the01:39:50
word of God and I usually offend just01:39:53
about everybody.01:39:55
>> 20 30 people, they're like, "And you all01:39:57
have to share your wife with me now."01:39:58
Well, every single Well, this01:40:00
>> I'm not calling for people to share01:40:01
their wives with me because that would01:40:03
be adultery. Continue.01:40:05
>> This is not just post this is not just01:40:06
something that's existed in the01:40:08
Christian world. This has been the case01:40:10
literally with every cult throughout01:40:11
history. Every like even Muhammad,01:40:12
everyone who's claimed to speak for God01:40:14
has basically said Muhammad took child01:40:17
brides. Okay, you keep pointing out01:40:19
unlawful marriages and saying, "See,01:40:22
see, see, see, no, no, no. Lawful01:40:24
polygyny is not cult behavior. Israel is01:40:28
not a cult. Jacob is not a cult leader.01:40:30
>> Guess what God told me I get to do. It's01:40:32
like I'm special. This is01:40:34
>> J. Dyer says that cult leaders it always01:40:36
turn it's always just boils down to01:40:39
being able to touch butts. [laughter] It01:40:42
just always boils down to touching01:40:43
butts.01:40:44
>> Your wife is mine now.01:40:45
>> Yep.01:40:47
>> Marriage is divine. God brings the woman01:40:49
to the man. It's not about touching01:40:51
butts. It's about offspring. Be fruitful01:40:54
and multiply.01:40:56
Thanks for checking out this clip from01:40:58
>> And that was it. Man, that was only 1001:41:01
minutes long. Uh their their video was01:41:03
only 10 minutes long and it took us some01:41:05
time to run through it, but boy, they01:41:07
had a lot of bad points. I'm actually01:41:09
glad they made that video because it01:41:12
gives us the opportunity to respond to a01:41:15
lot of really bad talking points that01:41:16
people hold on the anti-polygamy side.01:41:19
Comment below. Has have these videos I01:41:21
did Ben Shapiro. If you guys haven't01:41:22
watched it, make sure you go watch it.01:41:24
And now we've responded to Tim Cast and01:41:25
specifically Andrew Wilson. I really01:41:27
want to know, you know, are there those01:41:29
of you who were anti- polygamy and now01:41:31
you're on the fence as a result of what01:41:33
you're hearing? Are there those of you01:41:34
who are on the fence that are now pro01:41:37
polygyny or at least recognize it's01:41:38
lawful even if you're not going to01:41:39
practice it or what have you you01:41:41
recognize it's lawful? How are you01:41:43
feeling about it? What are you learning?01:41:44
What did you not know before? Be01:41:46
intellectually honest. Don't just side01:41:49
with your bias and prejudice and don't01:41:51
just go with the majority. John the01:41:53
Baptist was not part of the majority.01:41:55
The temple system rejected him and yet01:41:57
he was preparing the way for the Lord.01:41:59
So, you need to be listening for the01:42:00
voice of the Holy Spirit. I'm planning01:42:02
to respond to more videos as we continue01:42:04
on with this. This is hardly going to be01:42:06
the end of the conversation. And I do01:42:08
believe that there is a movement01:42:09
occurring that's apart from me, it's a01:42:11
societal movement that's occurring where01:42:14
people are returning to more biblical01:42:15
marriage and that's opening up this01:42:17
question of you know birth01:42:20
[clears throat] rates and what kind of01:42:21
marriages are allowed and not allowed01:42:22
and this is actually very healthy for01:42:24
society to go through this because01:42:26
status quo is what got us to where we01:42:28
are right now and we have to reconsider01:42:31
what the Bible teaches about marriage.01:42:32
So, I have an article that I would love01:42:34
for you guys to read if you could go to01:42:36
richtidwell.com and check out should01:42:38
polygamous families be welcome at01:42:40
church. I dive into some of these01:42:41
concepts like the Muslim invasion. Uh I01:42:44
cite one of my favorite books on the01:42:46
topic of polygyny which is doctrine of01:42:48
christristiana by John Milton the author01:42:50
of paradise lost in chapter 10 titled on01:42:53
the special government of man. I take a01:42:55
couple of passages from that and link to01:42:57
the actual full work in this article.01:42:59
And then I also have a letter that I01:43:01
personally wrote to the Anglican church.01:43:03
They rejected our attendance uh on01:43:06
Sunday mornings. We our church meets for01:43:08
Sabbath on Saturdays, which if you don't01:43:10
know anything about that, Charlie Kirk01:43:12
has a book coming out in December, and01:43:14
it's on the topic of the 7th day01:43:16
Sabbath. So, I'd encourage you to01:43:17
pre-order it uh if you haven't already.01:43:20
But if you read the letter to the01:43:22
Anglicans, we were seeking to be able to01:43:24
fellowship and worship on Sundays, not01:43:26
be clergy, just participate, and they01:43:28
denied our attendance. And that resulted01:43:30
in this uh article. And I consider that01:43:33
letter to the Anglicans, my 95 thesis uh01:43:36
for Reformation 2.0 that's occurring01:43:38
right now. Cuz I really truly believe01:43:40
that marriage law has to be relearned um01:43:43
before Isaiah 4:1 occurs. Men and women01:43:46
are going to know that polygyny is01:43:47
lawful. So, in order for them to get01:43:49
there, there's going to be this whole01:43:51
societal debate. And I don't think it's01:43:53
a short debate. I think, you know,01:43:54
Council of Trent took what, if I'm01:43:56
remembering correctly, like 18 years or01:43:58
something. It was almost two decades if01:44:01
I'm remembering correctly. So, uh, this01:44:03
could be a long conversation. So, buckle01:44:05
up. Please read should polygamist01:44:07
families be welcome at church. And01:44:08
please also, if you scroll down, you'll01:44:10
be able to open up uh the letter that I01:44:14
wrote to the Anglican Church, and it01:44:16
contains really an overview of all of01:44:18
our beliefs with a lot of citations. Um,01:44:20
and I think that it would be of great01:44:22
benefit to you in your studies. So, I01:44:24
really encourage you to go check it out.01:44:26
All right, guys. I'm so thankful that01:44:27
you watched this whole video. Thank you.01:44:29

for all of you guys being here and for01:44:42
conversing and engaging on this. And I01:44:44
pray that this will continue to provide01:44:47
enlightenment. Now listen, enlightenment01:44:49
comes with a lot of suffering and01:44:50
struggle. If you go to Hebrews chapter01:44:52
10, you'll see what a light01:44:53
enlightenment causes. It causes public01:44:55
reproach. And that's what's happening01:44:57
right now. And so don't be afraid of01:44:59
enlightenment. It's just part of the01:45:00
process. Let me pray the blessing over01:45:02
you guys. May the Lord bless you and01:45:04
keep you. May he make his face to shine01:45:06
upon you and be gracious to you. May he01:45:08
lift up his countenance to you and give01:45:09
you peace. Love you guys. Until next01:45:11
time, I pray that you have a wonderful,01:45:14
wonderful walk with the Lord that you01:45:16
continue to grow in the knowledge of him01:45:18
that the Holy Spirit continually works01:45:20
in your life and blesses you. And we'll01:45:22
see you again soon. Bye-bye. [music]01:45:32
