You don't wish for homogeneous nations alone. You wanted to shed blood for no reason and invade other nations + take their resources. Theft, murder, adultery, pride, etc. What else you got? Keep pretending to be a Christian.

seems fair enough, ethno-nationalism doesnt necessitate imperialism
also ive had the Christian argument concerning polygamy before and the New Testament seems pretty clear that its against it
He justifies polygamy using David, Abraham, etc. from the Old Testament
You are not a Christian, Rand.
Jesus basically denied that
im not, right but i can read and be honest to the text
I don't think you can.
But why don't you actually paste the verses so I can refute them before you go on making more bold assertions.
although i largely fall in line with very traditional latin and orthodox Christian teachings
heres the link
Christianity...that one religion where anyone can redefine it apparently.
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
This simply refers to divorce. To put away your wife to marry another.
this also carries over to take on multiple wives
How do you compatibilise such a teaching with other verses where God clearly condones polygamy?
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
I don't regard that as an argument for monogamy.
supersessionism is the common interpretation
That's hyper-literalism, reading into the text something you wish to read.
Concubinage isn't even about monogamy. You're not marrying concubines.
Also, I don't accept Rand's observations being a non-Christian.
They're literally mistresses.
that's adultery.
The Bible makes it clear adultery is bad
Jesus replaces the old covenant with the new
I don't see the old and new being different in substance.
it is by the christian viewpoint
Covenantalism is a pretty old biblical position.
Older than the one you're currently espousing.
Again you're not a Christian. I'm not going to accept your arguments, heathen.
Fenrir, you're following the Jewish standpoint
its the leading viewpoint amongst christians
How can a non-believer be expected to interpret inspired texts?
well someone who is Christian seems to be typing
Should change your role to Jewish if you worship the Old Testament
