Refuting "Biblical" Polygamy, a video series

Many thanks to Doris Hanson of Shield and Refuge Ministries for her recent three-part series on "Christian" polygamy! This series was produced as part of the talk-show Polygamy: What Love is This? and normally focuses on refuting the Mormon version of polygamy using the Bible. In this series Doris addresses some of the claims of the so-called Christian polygamists and engages with some of their rhetoric from a variety of websites. Check it out!

Plus God said he was unworthy to build Him a temple because their was too much blood on his hands. Sometimes those hindsight accounts of how wonderful the Old Testament “saints” were have to understood as creative human record-keeping and not factual accounts or even God’s actual opinion of them.

For example, t...
