On what Biblical grounds would you "HANG HIM"?
Woman finds out during church sermon her husband is newly married
- Thread starter Angel4Truth
- Start date
We aren't (Judg 21:25). :banana: That's the problem (Hos 4:6).
If you'd like a civil society (Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10). :dizzy: Where do you live? Somewhere in Europe? You're all dead already. :dead: Will you even loose a one in the rapture? :rapture: We're close behind you.
Laws come from God (Ge 2:16). The law is for the lawless (1 Ti 1:9). The law is an expression of God's will (Rom. 7:2–9). :straight:
Like fer sure (Ro 13:4).
The individual can claim innocence all day long (Mt 27:24)--
Adultery is a crime (Lev. 20:10–12).
lain: Our society protects the sexual sinner (Is 5:20, Eccl 8:11).

Bigamy is primarily a problem about a man holding two or more marriage licenses. Comparable to having two drivers license from different states.
It would be a waste of tax payer funds to keep him locked up.
I am much more concerned with men that have multiple baby-mamas, that they aren't married to and have little or no responsibilities for these ladies and their children.
Simple ... the bigamist should lose all of the marital assets and the wife should receive sole physical custody IF their are any children involved.

Is this a penalty found in the Bible? Or is this what seems right in your own eyes?
Do you think it's okay for a person to DECEIVE their spouse by taking another spouse?

I did not argue for that. I merely asked about the foundations for your suggestions.
Proper upbringing. Common sense. Empathy.

Okay, so you want to do what is right in your own eyes.
I think you might be advocating a little overly punitive, for what is essentially a licensing issue at least as far as the state is concerned.
If deceptive people cannot hold parental rights, I'm not sure there are enough people to raise these kids.
In the context of the OP, the wife was unaware that her husband had another wife. THAT is cheating. Is cheating right *in your own eyes*?
Oh. Okay. So you would be fine with a wife adding a new hubby to the mix without the first spouse's knowledge and consent?
Parental rights do not end when one parent has sole custody. It just means the children are normally left in the primary care of the most responsible parent. Do you believe teaching a child that it's okay to cheat on their other parent is responsible parenting?
How about him trying also to sell the family home out from under his wife and kids?
Think thats just a licensing issue?

The charge is bigamy. That's what I was addressing.
Which is fraud, which he shows a pattern of by also trying to defraud his real wife and kids of their home as well.

It's fraud against the state. They do not care about what a scoundrel he is.
Its fraud against his wife and kids too.

They will have to settle that in civil court, not a criminal one.
