Teaching on marriage and the biblical family — watch on YouTube and Rumble.
A reaction to Pearl Davis’s “Street Talk” episode asking Christian women whether they should obey their husbands. The popular “mutual submission” answer is tested against Scripture — Ephesians 5, 1 Peter 3, and the order of Elohim, Messiah, man, and woman.
Mike Allen, Peter Rambo Sr, and BibleMarriages walk through Isaiah 1 to trace what collapses when fathers abdicate headship — fatherlessness, harlotry, courts that gut families — and how Scripture maps the restoration of the home and Kol Israel.
A Beit Din of Torah-keeping elders renders public judgment in the matter of Scott Smith v. Christianna Renae Byrd and Grant Easter. After roughly 200 hours of investigation, the panel finds Byrd and Easter committed adultery under Leviticus 20:10 and rules on repentance and separation.
A long roundtable with Pete Rambo, Mike Allen, and Bible Marriages on why headship, patriarchy, and polygyny are load-bearing walls in restoring all Israel — and the awakening the church is unprepared to meet.
What actually constitutes a marriage in Yah’s eyes? No license, officiant, vows, or ceremony appears in the text. Responding to a Christian podcast, this video shows Scripture’s pattern — a man takes a lawfully available woman and she becomes his — versus inherited church tradition.
Peter’s vision in Acts 10 is the go-to proof that the dietary laws are abolished. But Peter interpreted it himself, twice, and it was about people, not pork. We read Acts 10–11 and apply the Deuteronomy 13 false-prophet test to the traditional reading.
A Forge Media panel tests Rich Tidwell’s new claims against Torah: a 20-year age requirement for marriage, a sexual rule for plural homes, and a permanent ban on remarriage after divorce. Where YAH is silent, can a teacher legislate sin?
Part 2 of the Berean response to HonestYouthPastor on biblical polygyny: Leah crediting God for opening her womb, the Matthew 19 eunuch “calling,” whether Paul could overrule Torah, the 1 Corinthians 7 “his own wife” Greek argument, and Isaiah 4:1’s seven women.
Part 1 of a Berean response to HonestYouthPastor’s case against biblical polygyny: testing his 1 Timothy 4 “doctrine of demons” claim, the Rachel and Leah “dysfunction” charge, his 2 Samuel 12 “property transfer” reading, and Matthew 19’s one flesh.
Mike Winger argues that 1 Timothy 3:2 disqualifies polygynists and that polygyny is sin. We test his case against Scripture: he reads “only” into “husband of one wife,” never cites a law forbidding it, and his David and Solomon examples backfire.
When Pastor Rich Tidwell disclosed a second wife, the Christian world erupted. A roundtable with Abrie Kilian, Pete Rambo, Ryan Ridgely and Biblical Marriages tests the monogamy-only doctrine against Scripture.
After Pastor Rich Tidwell publicly took a second wife and broke the internet, four men test the monogamy-only doctrine against Scripture and ask where the ban on biblical polygyny actually came from.
A point-by-point reply to TimcastIRL and Andrew Wilson mocking Pastor Rich Tidwell for taking a second wife. The objection that biblical polygyny is immoral is tested against Torah, the patriarchs, and YAH Himself.
Scriptural Focus argues God merely “allowed” polygamy as a flaw outside His design. This response tests that claim against the text — sin is transgression of the law, Yah gave David wives, regulated plural marriage, and never once condemned a man for it.
A chronological walk through Genesis answering the popular claim that Abraham and Sarah “lacked faith” by taking Hagar. When Hagar was taken, God had never promised a son through Sarah, and disparaging Abraham risks the curse of Genesis 12:3.
A Berean response to Mark Driscoll’s list of forbidden sexual acts. The top three — fornication, adultery, polygamy — collapse once you trade Webster’s definitions for the Torah’s. Get the definition of adultery right and the rest of Scripture falls into place.
“The two become one flesh, not three or four” is the go-to proof that Jesus banned polygyny. But in Matthew 19 the question was divorce, and “one flesh” means union, not a head count. We trace the phrase through Genesis, Paul, and the prophets.
Deuteronomy 17:17 says a king must not multiply wives — so does that forbid more than one? The same chapter says he must not multiply horses or gold. We test the Hebrew rāḇâ, the Greek plēthýnō, and why David kept many wives yet stayed wholly devoted: the warning is excess, not a number.
Have you been told that merely glancing at a beautiful woman is adultery? This study takes Matthew 5:28 back to its context — the Greek epithymeō, the word gunē (“wife”), and the Torah’s definition of adultery — to show Yeshua was forbidding coveting another man’s wife.
In Genesis 20, God warns a married king he is a dead man — but for taking another man’s wife, not for being polygynous. We slow down through the chapter to show why the sin hangs on the woman’s marital status, and why God then blesses the king’s household.
A close study of how Scripture actually defines adultery. The law in Leviticus 20:10 hinges on a married woman: an adulterer is a man who takes another man’s wife. This “Rosetta Stone” reframes marriage, divorce, and why the laws for man and woman differ.
A Berean reply to Once Lost Ministries' case against polygamy. Their myths about Abraham, David, and Genesis 2:24 are tested against Scripture, exposing eisegesis and the failure to show one verse forbidding plural marriage.
Does polygamy “do violence to the gospel”? Part 3 answers the Christ-and-the-church argument, “Christ has one bride,” the progressive-revelation/“kid gloves” claim, and shows the one-body-many-members picture fits a man and his wives — with Isaiah 4 and Matthew 25.
Does “husband of one wife” forbid polygamy? Part 2 answers the invented “sub-creational sin” category, the 1 Timothy 3:2 elder argument, Calvin and Chrysostom, and shows from Abimelech in Genesis 20 that adultery is taking another man’s wife — not taking a wife.
Does Genesis 2 prove monogamy-only? Part 1 of a Berean response to Reformation Red Pill, testing the “creation norm,” the prescriptive-vs-descriptive claim, the “polygyny always ends in disaster” trope, and Matthew 19 against Scripture.
Wretched tells a young man polygamy is always a disaster and clearly forbidden. This response tests each claim — Deuteronomy 17, Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5, the Judges 19 “unmentioned sin” argument — and shows enforced monogamy rests on tradition, not the text.
Taco Talks claims polygamy is never condoned in Scripture and that men like Solomon, David, and Jacob were committing rampant adultery. This response tests each claim against the text — and shows that getting the definition of adultery wrong is what breaks the whole reading.
