"In the universities [seminaries] they have ordained that no man shall look on the Scripture, until he be noselled [nursed or trained] in heathen learning eight or nine years, and armed with false principles; with which he is clean shut out of the understanding of the Scripture." William Tyndale From an 1849 printing of "Expositions and notes on sundry portions of the Holy Scriptures together with The Practice of Prelates"
William Tyndale - Martyred 1536
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Jesus -- Matthew 10:16
They claim Adam as the model on which we should base our marriages and say that he was a monogamist. Ok, let's accept that at face value. Look what horror befalls Adam, the monogamist. He has but one wife, so not wishing to lose her he commits the original sin in accepting the forbidden fruit, thereby causing untold suffering not to mention the sacrificial death of our Lord and Savior Jesus in order to wipe that original sin away. Then his tiny monogamist family which is limited to just one birth per year, turns inward upon itself with the first born of a monogamist murdering the second born of a monogamist and then going out to be a monogamist himself! Oh what horrors monogamy causes! Of course I'm jesting. You know and I know that such arguments are ridiculous but no less ridiculous than the silly arguments of anti-polygamists against the polygamists.
Pastor Don Milton
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
Solomon -- Proverbs 29:25
As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so [is] he that giveth
honour to a fool.
Solomon -- Proverbs 26:8
A husband who is limited in the number of wives that he may have is no longer a
husband but has in fact become a wife.
Pastor Don Milton
A man who is forbidden from divorcing an adulterous wife has been put lower
than a slave.
Pastor Don Milton
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good [is there]
to the owners thereof, saving the beholding [of them] with their eyes?
Solomon -- Ecclesiastes 5:11
The more words, the less meaning, and what good does that do anyone.
Pastor Don Milton
A kind thought is worth repeating.
Pastor Don Milton
You who claim to be enlightened, the great pride that you take in your humility
reveals your true nature.
Pastor Don Milton
The influential speak only when all are listening and the people think they have
charisma. It's just timing.
Pastor Don Milton
Those who give from the heart are satisfied with the Lord's silent approval
while the stingy want loud praise for empty words.

No flood can put out the fire that is true love nor can it be bought.

Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. Job 32:9
Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram
A man's acceptance of his role as protector is the true measure of his manhood.
Pastor Don Milton

Excellence defines what is common, never the reverse.
Pastor Don Milton
Wisdom is better than many friends.
Pastor Don Milton
Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised,
and his words are not heard.
Solomon -- Ecclesiastes 9:16
The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
Solomon -- Proverbs 10:21
A heart full of pride is empty, while a heart full of thanks overflows.
Pastor Don Milton
Don't pay attention if someone grumbles behind your back, have you never done
the same?
Pastor Don Milton
Don't excuse unkind remarks by saying, "But it's true!"
Pastor Don Milton
A man who has three wives is a polygamist. A man who has two wives is a
bigamist. A man who has only one wife is a monotonist.
Cardinal Sin - Philippines
No sense of a text in the New Testament, which renders the passage contradictory to, or inconsistent with the Old Testament, can be the true one. Regardless of how it might coincide with popular opinion, or flatter our own preconceived notions of things, it is to be rejected.
Reverend Martin Madan [Note: "however it may" has been edited to "regardless of how it might" for Modern English readers.
Beware of searching for truth anywhere but in the blessed word of God; dread as much to leave it for an instant, as a blind man would dread to walk amidst pits and precipices without a guide, or a mariner to sail among rocks and shoals without a pilot. Remember what the Psalmist says, 'Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.'
Reverend Martin Madan
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
1 Corinthians 14:20
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do [either] good or bad of mine own mind; [but] what the LORD saith, that will I speak.
Numbers 24:13
Making human opinion the standard of truth, is like making the chameleon the standard of color.
Reverend Martin Madan
Christ only, is the Spouse of souls, and Bridegroom of His Church: And if we,
who are ministers, be His friends, we ought, with John the Baptist, as the
friends of Christ, the only true Spouse of souls, to send them to Him, their
Bridegroom; and not to draw them to ourselves.
From Bernardino Ochino's "Dialog On Polygamy"
To condemn polygamy, is for man to prefer himself to God, Who never did condemn it, and to assume a greater degree of perfection than He.
Telypolygamus from Bernardino Ochino's Dialog on Polygamy
"The Gospel hath neither recalled nor forbid what was permitted in the law of Moses with respect to marriage." From the translation of a notorized letter dated 1539 approving of the polygamous marriage of Philip, Landgrave of Hesse, and signed by Martin Luther, Philip Melancthon, Martin Bucer, Antony Corvin, Adam, John Leningue, Justus Wintferte, and Denis Melanther.
Among the Reverend of the Romish Creed, we see, that Matrimony, in any Sort or Degree, is utterly thrown out of Doors; though we daily see Persons, most Sir-Reverendly noted for Filthiness, promoted to their chiefest Church Dignities!
Telypolygamus from Bernardino Ochino's Dialog on Polygamy
When men once depart from the scriptures, where will they stop?
Reverend Martin Madan
I will, therefore, that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
The Apostle Paul speaking Scripture in 1Timothy 5:14
You can't live your life to please the wife without committing the original idolatry; putting Eve before God.
Pastor Don Milton
Do not fear the false teachers with silver tongues for their mouths are always open and silver tarnishes when exposed.
Pastor Don Milton
Wives unprovok'd think not of Sway,
Without commanding they obey.
But if your dear Ones take the Field,
Resolve at once to win or yield,
For Heav'n no Medium ever gave
Betwixt a Sovereign and a Slave.
Samuel Wesley (Father of John Wesley, Founder of the Methodist Denomination)
True Britons all, I'll lay my Life
None here is Master of his wife
Samuel Wesley (Father of John Wesley, Founder of the Methodist Denomination.) As part of a poem concerning his fellow Englishmen. For those of you who have been thoroughly feminized, it was meant as an insult.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
King Solomon - Proverbs 15:17
All wise men know it's the woman who chooses. Only a fool chases a woman whose heart is not already his.
