Is Polygyny a Christian practice? Should it be allowed in Western culture, and what role does it play in the Bible? In this episode, Pastor Robin takes the position that polygyny is morally acceptable according to the Bible, and does not constitute sin.

00:01:30.000
And half of the people in this debate are actually pushing a Christian form of polygamy.
00:01:36.920
And this was hosted on my friend Glenn Lawrence's channel with also Andrew Wilson on the debate.

And I will read your comments in the live chat.
00:02:00.580
Not only in the practice of polygyny itself, but in the greater framework of biblical patriarchy, the God-ordained structure of relationship that safeguards marriages, families, and ultimately society.
00:02:11.420
The biblical patriarchy founded on male headship, provisions, and protections stand as a single most important aspect of safe and flourishing marriages in the West.
00:02:20.960
It provides the structure within which celibacy, monogamy, and polygyny can coexist as divinely ordained practices reinforcing stability, moral responsibility, and justice.
00:02:32.740
In this debate, I will take the position, or Robin, I will take the position that polygyny is morally acceptable according to the Bible and does not constitute sin.
00:02:41.740
Far from being contradictory to biblical values, it complements and reinforces the principles of biblical patriarchy alongside celibacy and monogamy.
00:02:52.540
Together, these practices create a flexible and enduring system capable of addressing the crisis of marriage and families in the West.
00:03:01.240
At its heart, biblical patriarchy calls men to lead their families as Christ leads the ecclesia, or congregation, according to Ephesians 5, with fractificial love, unwavering commitment, and moral responsibility.
00:03:16.760
It assigns complementary roles to men and women, ensuring that the family structure is built on mutual respect and care.
00:03:22.700
In a time when Western marriage is fractured by instability, gender confusion, and economic pressure, biblical patriarchy restores order and purpose.
00:03:33.460
Celibacy provides an opportunity for men to focus entirely on spiritual leadership, community service, and advancing the kingdom of God, as exemplified by Apostle Paul.
00:03:42.560
Now, I want to say, when I first thought about polygamy, right, obviously coming from the West, it's very taboo.
00:03:50.980
It's very taboo. Nobody really, it's kind of weird, right?
00:03:58.220
But the more I've lived life, I've realized that we're already in polygamy.
00:04:03.940
If you take the rate that people cheat within married relationships, you know, up to 50% some day, some say, as little as 25%, that's partially polygamy.
00:04:16.900
If the woman's married to one guy, cheating with the personal trainer.
00:04:20.980
On top of that, you know, monogamy used to be one person for life.
00:04:25.340
So if you have a first wife and a second wife, okay, I guess maybe it's a little different because the guy's not dating them or married to them at the same time.
00:04:34.720
But the way they would see it in the East is that we do essentially the same thing.
00:04:42.460
We just kind of do it at different periods in our life.
00:04:46.720
Patriarchal principles that true leadership flows from submission to God.
00:04:50.400
Monogamy allows men to exercise focuses, leadership, and care for a single family, deepening the intimacy and trust.
00:04:58.600
It mirrors Christ's covenantal love for his ecclesia, as stated in Ephesians earlier.
00:05:04.800
Religion, on its turn, magnifies male responsibility by requiring greater leadership, provisions, and fairness.
00:05:12.360
It underscores the patriarch's role as a just and sacrificial leader and seen in Deuteronomy 21, regulated by Exodus 21,
00:05:21.160
accidentally established by Deuteronomy 25, and understood in terms of Leviticus 20, read together with Deuteronomy 22.
00:05:28.480
Now, biblical patriarchal not only reinforces these practices, but also ensures that they work together to benefit men, women, children, and society at large.
00:05:38.740
Now, if we look at the Bible, it's clear that polygyny is not sinful.
00:05:45.960
Instead, it is presented as a permissible marital arrangement within God's covenantal framework.
00:05:53.680
Throughout the Old Testament, we see this patriarchs, such as Abraham, Jacob, David.
00:05:58.480
And in the New Testament, it may be argued that monogamy is elevated as an ideal, particularly in the leadership context, but polygyny is never condemned.
00:06:08.080
In fact, Paul is clear that celibacy is an ideal.
00:06:11.980
Jesus Christ teaches on marriage in Matthew 20, 19, that emphasizes the sanctity of marriage and condemns setting aside, but does not address polygyny.
00:06:21.320
Paul instructs in 1 Timothy 3, 2, that church leaders should be husband of one wife.
00:06:26.320
Could be argued as qualification for leadership, but not a universal prohibition of polygyny.
00:06:32.680
Although this position is highly contentious amongst Greek scholars, however, the silence of the New Testament on condemning polygyny suggests that there are no condemnation of polygyny suggests that it remains a moral neutral under the covenant.
00:06:46.400
Now, critics often reject polygyny based on cultural norms rather than biblical evidence.
00:06:52.320
So I was thinking of this as a thought experiment.
00:06:56.160
One man with two wives or a man that has an ex-girlfriend he dated for three years, broke up with, then marries the new wife.
00:07:06.840
And I was thinking about this as a thought experiment.
00:07:10.540
I'm not, by the way, this is not me cosigning it or pushing it.
00:07:16.580
I was just thinking about it in the second way, the woman, if, if they had a child or even just in general is taken care of for life where, you know, in the first one, you're kind of shit out of luck.
00:07:32.060
I'm not saying that the ladies deserve lifelong being taken care of, but I was thinking about it as a thought experiment.
00:08:13.740
Ideal celibacy is the ideal reinforcement for foundation of biblical patriarchy.
00:08:18.820
Monogamy serves as a powerful expression of biblical patriarchy by mirroring the covenantal love between Christ and Ecclesia.
00:08:25.300
Belligiety, while not commanded, but may be incidentally established as a biblical permissible practice that magnifies male responsibility and care.
00:08:35.380
And closure as Western society faces a crisis in marriage.
00:08:46.960
And belligyny as a permissible and practical alternative.
00:08:50.580
Together, these practices reinforces the principles of leadership, provision, and justice that protects families and builds strong communities according to the provisions of the scripture.
00:08:59.900
Belligyny, when practiced within the framework of biblical patriarchy, is not only morally acceptable, but also reflects God's wisdom in accommodating diverse needs across cultures.
00:09:10.440
When you think about it, this argument, this whole debate is, what do we do with all of these women?
00:09:15.580
You know, they say, okay, maybe we could go back to forcing them to get married.
00:09:29.400
But then the men get together and they say, well, what if she doesn't like?
00:09:33.340
Do we really want to force them to sleep with someone they don't like?
00:09:37.680
And if they don't want to do it, should we really impose that on them?
00:09:42.920
But when we let them do whatever they want, they keep sleeping with the same guys.
00:09:51.160
I mean, these are what society's wrestling with.
00:09:56.780
Or do we let the ladies choose whoever they want and we all date the same men?
00:10:17.420
Under 30 women, you know, date all the same guys.
00:10:23.280
You know, in Ireland, it's around 35 years old.
00:10:28.280
So like the ladies are the ones that want the polygamy more than the men.
00:10:34.740
Polygamy is seen as something that the men want.
00:10:38.300
If tomorrow they said, ladies, we're going to make being a side chick a crime and cheating
00:10:47.620
You will be stoned to death if you cheat on your wife.
00:10:50.200
And you will also be stoned to death if you cheat with a married man.
00:11:16.120
By grounding an understanding of marriage in scripture rather than cultural assumption.
00:11:26.000
Protect the vulnerable and create society that protects God's perfect society.
00:11:43.380
Yeah, this argument is blown out in two seconds.
00:11:46.320
The easiest way to do it is just to point out that under this framework that he just outlined,
00:11:56.860
There's nothing biblically that would say that you couldn't.
00:12:03.300
Now, this whole debate, because I did see a bit of it earlier, Andrew is trying to equate
00:12:17.660
I really think he could argue any point, but I'm just trying to think through some of these
00:12:23.240
Do I think that marrying your cousin is the same thing as polygamy?
00:12:28.500
Well, I guess I have seen some of those countries.
00:12:34.920
I know in India, they definitely marry their cousins there, but I don't, I don't know if
00:12:42.140
But that's the only country I know that they really marry their cousins like that.
00:12:51.700
Um, I just know I used to get my nails done by this woman in, um, when I was in London
00:13:00.420
and casually this lady's doing my nails and I was asking her about her life and whatever.
00:13:06.260
And she just casually tells me she married her cousin.
00:13:10.080
And I'm thinking like, are your kids all right?
00:13:20.760
But I wanted to say, I don't, I think he's trying to equate them to be the same thing
00:13:26.480
or I don't know why he keeps bringing this up to me.
00:13:33.300
And anyway, the debate's not about that anyway.
00:13:36.120
I'd like to take a second to point out that the debate isn't over if polygyny is against
00:13:40.480
Christian ethics or not, though I'm sure at some point we'll touch on that.
00:13:43.680
Uh, for the sake of the argument of the debate, uh, of can it save the West is what I'm arguing
00:14:00.260
My first question is what, what does save the West look like?
00:14:11.120
I have my dishwasher, my Roomba, like what is saving the West?
00:14:45.580
Uh, so here on our nice polygamy map, uh, these are the countries where polygamy is allowed
00:14:52.400
Now, I don't think this matters where it's allowed, where it's not allowed, because again,
00:14:58.460
we're in soft polygamy in the United, whether you like it or not, the dating app data is
00:15:13.700
So I don't know if the laws really change anything.
00:15:18.000
You know, when marriage is seven years, you could say, okay, for that seven years, they
00:15:24.860
Do you just get a get out of jail free card because you did monogamy for a little, little
00:15:29.920
while, then went back to polygamy, then back to monogamy.
00:15:32.880
Is it really monogamy if you're in it for eight years?
00:15:40.360
But the challenge we have is, you know, no matter how bad the women behave, there's always
00:15:47.880
And as you guys know, I have been fighting on the front lines of the simp epidemic for
00:15:52.660
years, but I need to tell you guys about a quiet weapon being ratcheted up against men
00:15:58.760
It's not just the relentless anti-masculinity propaganda and OnlyFans hoes causing the societal
00:16:07.880
Did you know that the average city's tap water contains trace pharmaceuticals and endocrine
00:16:13.880
This often includes estrogen from birth control.
00:16:17.040
The average adult consumes a credit card worth of plastic every week.
00:16:24.300
It's no wonder the average male testosterone is half of what it was 50 years ago.
00:16:33.700
And without a course correction, we're really headed towards extinction.
00:16:37.720
No matter how based you are, you need to be naturally boosting your testosterone.

00:17:38.740
I would like you to note that the red, where it's illegal, are the host countries with the
00:17:46.620
most immigrants from the countries in green, where it's legal.
00:17:50.560
The United Nations actually cites polygamy as a primary cause for the instability for various
00:17:56.100
And the UN itself doesn't even recommend polygyny as a cultural attitude to be outsourced, which
00:18:00.900
is amazing because they basically do it for almost every other attitude.
00:18:05.160
There are multitudes of anthropological studies backing up this point.
00:18:08.520
So many, in fact, it was actually overwhelming.
00:18:16.980
According to these anthropological studies, here's how they do it.
00:18:19.980
Less civil liberties, highest rates of despotism, higher rates of warfare, higher rates of intergroup
00:18:23.960
violence, more government corruption, and less political security, national security.
00:18:29.400
These associations remain across all countries with polygyny, regardless of religion, culture,
00:18:35.800
or ethnicity, meaning that just because you're a Christian polygynist, it doesn't seem to help
00:18:41.420
This is because it creates a standing pool of aggrieved young men with no prospects whatsoever
00:18:49.440
So he's talking about the challenge that does come with polygamy that we're seeing now.
00:18:54.420
Let me, I decided I was going to use the whiteboard, but I decided to make a chart slideshow.
00:19:06.660
Now, all I did was Google hot people, average people, ugly people.
00:19:14.480
Now, if we go back to monogamy, it would be the hot woman with the hot guy.
00:19:20.520
You know, this guy would be with the average girl and the ugly guy would take the old woman,
00:19:29.500
I feel like this guy wouldn't be so bad if he just cleared the acne, got to stay, whatever.
00:19:35.340
Now, what we have now is all three of these ladies are going towards the hot guy.
00:19:43.080
You know, before the guy in the middle might've been the hottest guy in the town.
00:19:48.900
This woman here, well, it would have been illegal for them to be together, but you know, for the sake of it, this woman over here, she wouldn't know this guy existed.
00:20:01.500
So this guy asks her to marry her and she doesn't think about the DM she got from Chad over here.
00:20:11.340
She doesn't think, oh, well, what if that's a better option?
00:20:15.500
Let's say all of these men were being hit on by women like this.
00:20:20.240
When this woman, it's not like that, but let's switch the roles, right?
00:20:25.100
Let's say all these guys had girlfriends that were this hot or women interested in them that were this hot.
00:20:31.200
I mean, when this average woman over here would come up to them and say, hey, marry me, have kids with me.
00:20:48.440
So now the question is what to do, what do we do with these two ladies, right?
00:20:53.980
Do we mandate and say, you, average woman, go with that average man?
00:20:58.680
And she says, no, ugh, ugh, but he, he gives me the ick.
00:21:10.180
Do we say you have to, you know, and there's just part of me.
00:21:14.460
I know there's a whole Western culture through God's eyes.
00:21:19.920
They, they think that we should just force arranged marriage or no deal.
00:21:24.920
But something about me, I just, I mean, I just, for me personally, I don't know if I'd want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with me.
00:21:36.040
And the other challenge is, you know, it's not like social media is going anywhere.
00:21:40.740
So she's still going to be seeing Chad and feeling like this guy isn't enough.
00:21:46.200
Now, the reason I say this, that we don't force the arranged marriage, is because this guy is going to have such a miserable life being with this woman that doesn't want to be with him.
00:22:00.080
That's why, you know, the MGTOW guys, they make perfect sense.
00:22:06.660
And then my second question, the reason I think polygamy is actually nicer to women.
00:22:10.860
Let's say we legalize Chad to have three wives and heck, maybe he gets a second one.
00:22:16.820
Maybe this guy gets three, second guy gets two.
00:22:19.260
I mean, honestly, whoever takes this old lady over here, they're kind of doing her a favor, right?
00:22:26.720
I mean, the bottom ladies on the totem pole, the kids, remember half of the women are going to be single and childless.
00:22:32.800
We don't know what to do, especially the 50, 60, 70 year old women.
00:22:36.940
What do we do with the, like, what if we start all living to 90, 100 years old?
00:22:41.540
Like, there's going to be so many of these ladies going around that, you know, when they were this age, they said, ugh, ugly, ugh, ugly.
00:22:51.820
And now they're old and these guys are like, ugh, we don't want you, you know?
00:22:58.380
I mean, if you look at, take Donald Trump and his ex-wives, you know, the last, the first one before she passed away, I mean,
00:23:06.000
she wasn't that good looking, really, any woman, man that took her was really doing her more of a favor than him.
00:23:16.980
So, these are the questions, what to do with these ladies?
00:23:22.220
Do we, at 18, 20, say, you must go with that guy, regardless of how much they don't want to?
00:23:28.640
Or, do we just keep letting the sexes go apart until the ladies start to feel the consequences of our decisions, right?
00:23:38.980
So, you know, let's say we take the sexes and just say, okay, ladies, you want to be by yourself?
00:23:47.260
Well, the challenge is, so, when the woman looks like this, she's given all these free jobs, free attention, whatever.
00:23:53.480
But now she looks like this, and she realizes she has to work for 40 more years.
00:24:01.220
Now, do you think Brad over here is going to take this woman to be a housewife?
00:24:07.000
She says, no, no, no, no, I'm ready, I'm ready to be a housewife.
00:24:23.480
About half the boys in polygamous cultures need to be ejected from their community once they reach puberty to sustain this imbalance.
00:24:35.860
Major problem with political instability in these countries.
00:24:39.980
If most families can't get by, by the way, on one income with only one wife and 1.6 kids, how many men can afford multiple wives and many children?
00:24:51.160
Yeah, okay, so then he makes the argument that the men can't afford the wives, and I actually thought this was a moot point, and I'll tell you why.
00:25:02.180
Now, a lot of people will say, how will the men afford all of these wives?
00:25:17.100
The men can actually, you know, they said, you know, the men got together and they said, ladies, they said to this hot woman over here, be a mother.
00:25:35.120
And so, you know, they don't really want to put a gun to the young women's head and make them.
00:25:42.280
But this lady over here can go make $40,000 a year and have one kid, throw that kid in public school.
00:25:55.740
Woman number two over here, he could get her pregnant, right?
00:26:04.920
I'm not saying they should be, but I'm saying it's 2024.
00:26:36.200
I mean, let's make her a little hotter than this.
00:26:38.120
Let's pretend she's a little, like she's 40 and, you know, goes to, she looks like a J-Lo.
00:26:53.520
You know, we have these ladies, they can't have kids anymore.
00:26:56.820
But they can bring in 40K, give it to the guy, or contribute to rent, right?
00:27:06.780
I don't know if the money argument is going to stand because there's too many jobs available to the ladies.
00:27:14.120
You could be a housewife with a stay-at-home job.
00:27:17.580
I mean, we're finding out that the government employees, the last, you know, decade, haven't been going to work or really working.
00:27:28.520
So, I mean, he could send Shirley over here to go make $40,000 a year for the government and work from home and do nothing.
00:27:39.000
I mean, there's all these jobs that are given to us for practically doing nothing.
00:27:43.520
Wouldn't it kind of make sense for the woman to go get the easy money rather than, you know, making Brad?
00:27:52.600
Or maybe this guy in the middle, he hits $45,000.
00:27:57.120
And these ladies said no to him, you know, at $25,000.
00:28:06.920
Or maybe he got, I don't know, maybe he got a dog.
00:28:09.760
He got something that just brought the ladies back in.
00:28:12.200
Got a little, you know, silver fought, whatever.
00:28:28.480
He says, you know, I've seen one too many of my friends get absolutely ruined over having children.
00:28:36.700
I mean, I don't, I don't see, you know, everyone says we got to go back to traditionalism.
00:28:43.280
Do the ladies, do we really deserve traditionalism?
00:28:51.860
Maybe if you get like six or seven, you get one.
00:28:54.840
I mean, daycare is state funded in some states.
00:29:02.360
I'm not saying that's best for the kids, right?
00:29:10.720
The money argument to me, there's too many women that don't want to have kids where they could be a second, third wife, hypothetically, and just not have children.
00:29:21.080
I mean, that's kind of what we're doing in the soft polygamy era anyway.
00:29:25.180
Children from polygamous families report higher rates of aggression, behavioral problems likely to be less competitive, confusion with parental roles.
00:29:34.140
Wives end up with more mental health problems for unequal treatment.
00:29:37.320
Now, he's saying the wives are going to end up with mental health problems.
00:29:41.300
Well, I mean, one in four women are on SSRIs in the United States.
00:29:52.820
I mean, I don't know if we can attribute that to polygamy in itself.
00:30:00.420
But, you know, when one in four of the ladies have it, I just can't.
00:30:11.620
Favoritism, unhealthy competition, lack of trust, lack of marital satisfaction.
00:30:19.680
Again, OK, so then I got to think through this, right?
00:30:22.500
I got to think through the marital satisfaction is bad for the polygamous places.
00:30:29.440
Well, we tried Christian monogamy and the only way, the way you see how people, the way you
00:30:38.900
see what people truly want is when you give them the freedom to do anything and look at
00:30:45.840
We have this idea that women were brainwashed by feminism.
00:30:51.020
I think us ladies, we know exactly what we're picking.
00:30:54.820
And I think what we found out is, one, women are not as monogamous as we thought.
00:30:59.980
And they weren't as happy in their marriages as we thought.
00:31:04.100
Because when we got the freedom to do anything, they left.
00:31:07.940
I know that's not like a happy conclusion, but it's kind of like, OK, imagine you think
00:31:18.340
You think your husband is amazing and he's loyal forever.
00:31:21.220
But then he gets really rich and he starts banging hot 22-year-olds.
00:31:27.000
He probably always wanted to do that, but now he gets the choice.
00:31:33.600
Once we got the choice, we got the job, we got the birth control.
00:31:38.320
Too many of them picked it for me to think, ah, you know, that they were the marital satisfaction.
00:31:48.340
I mean, to be fair, I just think us as a gender, we're just not all, but we're just not really
00:31:54.180
satisfied with anything ever because we're the most privileged class of people in all
00:32:02.820
So for, like, I wouldn't use marital satisfaction, what we say as a metric at all, because I just
00:32:11.900
And now that all these countries have the lowest GDP on planet Earth, sub-Sahara Africa,
00:32:17.520
Afghanistan, Polynesia, Papua New Guinea, I can tell you about a little island off the
00:32:21.520
coast of that if you'd like, and Southeast Asia, lowest GDP there is, highest polygyny
00:32:29.040
I could see that, you know, the guys, they think, do I need to be rich and make a bunch
00:32:38.260
Eh, eh, I don't think that's going to happen for me, not anytime soon.
00:32:44.580
But then we go back to the question, do we force the ladies or give them free will?
00:32:53.000
It's called the polygamy belt, West and Central Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia.
00:32:58.140
In Kenya, for instance, highly Christian, by the way, 43% of households with polyamorous
00:33:03.500
men are poor, compared to 27% of the monogamous household, much richer.
00:33:10.640
Well-established link between polygamy, poverty, warfare, underdeveloped nations, and warlords?
00:33:20.180
There's no way you could ever make a case that polygyny or polygamy is going to save the
00:33:26.560
It can't save the countries that it's in right this second.
00:33:30.240
But to address Mr. Kowalski's arguments for polygamy, they are surface level, and they're
00:33:38.180
He argues there aren't enough virtuous women to go around, while also arguing Protestant
00:33:41.440
churches have more women than men in them, which is true.
00:33:47.900
One, if more women than men are in Protestant churches, yet there are less virtuous women
00:33:52.100
than men, it would entail that Protestant churches aren't producing virtuous women.
00:34:05.340
Two, if it were the case, as he argues polygamy is real, and virtuous women are polygamous, and
00:34:10.920
that's fine, as that's how they were designed, rather than a passion to overcome, then all
00:34:16.080
it would mean is that the already small pool of virtuous women would marry the same virtuous
00:34:21.860
man, creating an even smaller pool of virtuous women.
00:34:30.160
Okay, so when I was in a Protestant church for like, I don't know, two, three years, I
00:34:40.940
You don't think that the guys in the, I mean, in the churches, it's like the guys in the
00:34:45.320
band, you know, the guys on the guitar, the ladies, you know, we love, we love the musical
00:34:51.560
instruments, or, you know, the one, you know, it was interesting, because I was in this church,
00:35:00.700
They did like a dating thing in the church, where they were trying to set people up, whatever.
00:35:06.280
And even though it was 80 to 90% female, the women would get set up with a guy, and they
00:35:20.500
And then the ladies would get together, and they would say, oh my gosh, there's one woman.
00:35:32.280
And it was crazy, because she was really pretty, but they would say, what about this guy?
00:35:39.840
And then she would say, well, I just think I have, she would think that her faith was better
00:35:46.620
than his faith, and I would just keep thinking, what more does this guy get?
00:35:56.940
Like, what are you doing that makes you so, I mean, and then it would be like, well, he
00:36:11.900
I'm like, I mean, what, do you want him to be a saint?
00:36:18.140
And so I would still see the same thing, even when it was all women, pretty much.
00:36:25.540
If you guys have comments, you go to theaudacitynetwork.com, and then I do read your comments.
00:36:38.240
Pearl, do you think if the collective of men learn to improve their looks, would they qualify
00:36:43.520
for women's standards, or do you think that women would narrow their standards even further?
00:36:50.100
I do think that men going to the gym is, because we already have money as women, you know,
00:36:58.660
we can either get it through sugar dating, through men just throwing their resources at women for being hot.
00:37:07.080
Like, the ladies don't even have to put out anymore.
00:37:16.560
She made, like, 60K a year right out of school.
00:37:25.580
We don't, the money aspect, you can't really, you know, pay for women like you used to.
00:37:32.380
You know, we used to say, ah, I need, I need money.
00:37:40.500
So I, I think that improves men's, you know, chances the best.
00:37:45.080
But unfortunately, we're just never happy, sadly enough.
00:37:57.100
Three, he argues that the skanks of society would basically be taken care of through polygamy.
00:38:03.540
Because, of course, men wouldn't mind marrying them if they already had a virtuous woman.
00:38:07.760
This also makes no sense if you think about it for one second.
00:38:10.400
Because if you had a virtuous woman, why the hell would you want to marry a skank to begin with?
00:38:16.060
I, I assume because she gives better head, I don't really understand why else you'd want to do it.
00:38:20.260
You know, I've seen men do crazy things because a woman is good.
00:38:28.500
I mean, you wonder how these women that have been through everybody still end up getting married at the end of it.
00:38:36.660
Could, could, could a man hypothetically marry a woman because she gives really good blowjobs?
00:38:47.140
I wouldn't, I wouldn't put it past them, you know what I mean?
00:38:52.780
It just seems like it's a movement towards the pleasure of the flesh.
00:38:55.740
It also has another problem as well, which is that it would basically be promoting promiscuity if it did work by adding an additional societal safeguard to promiscuous women, essentially assuring them a husband, as long as she acted as a fuck puppet for him.
00:39:08.100
Which isn't very different from how secular women already act outside of Christian ethics.
00:39:12.680
In fact, there's so many problems with the arguments that he made that I can barely scratch the surface.
00:39:18.900
But I think that this is good for right now and we can just move right into the debate.
00:39:23.880
I just want to let both of you guys know right now.
00:39:25.940
I went in depth into all of your positions and this debate is not going to go well for either of you.
00:39:35.360
Well, actually, I'd like to address a few things since he started off with me.
00:39:40.820
At this point, you guys, we're going to go ahead and let it go open and let you guys go back and forth.
00:39:46.160
Okay, so Andrew said that, you know, talking about marrying first cousins, maybe we saw that once or twice in the Old Testament.
00:39:56.500
You know, people say, well, you can murder people or no, that was something that Mike Winger said.
00:40:02.160
But we see this repeatedly practiced by our spiritual offspring over and over.
00:40:12.760
Now, people will say, oh, you know, the one flesh argument means monogamy.
00:40:16.460
Well, why didn't the Israelites believe that for thousands of years?
00:40:19.680
I'm not here to argue about the biblical basis for polygyny.
00:40:25.340
The topic of the debate is centered around whether or not it can save the West.
00:40:29.780
I really wish they clarified what does saving the West mean?
00:40:34.380
I think this is a pretty good time in history to be alive.
00:40:39.760
I saw the maybe would you guys rather be fighting in a war right now?
00:40:51.700
Israel went from zero, from one man to overthrowing the greatest country in the world at time, Egypt, in 500 years.
00:41:01.060
Oh, well, geez, this this nation, the power of Puritan Protestants overthrew the most powerful nation which had ever existed.
00:41:15.260
If it were the case that, oh, you can overthrow the very powerful government through the power of polygyny.
00:41:22.080
OK, well, this is a non-polygynous, non-polygynous in the 13 colonies absolutely was a violation of Christian ethics.
00:41:29.100
They overthrew the most powerful military in the history of the world.
00:41:32.240
So that's not a good argument for your position.
00:41:41.860
If the argument for you is this country got overthrown by the power of polygyny, my counterargument is, well, this country got overthrown and we weren't polygynous.
00:41:51.520
So clearly them just being polygynous has zero to do with the overthrow.
00:41:59.280
They went from 70 people entering Egypt to 2.4 million people leaving Egypt in 430 years.
00:42:06.800
They can't you can't multiply at that rate under monogamy.
00:42:14.240
The math alone tells us that every man had to have on the average of four wives.
00:42:18.860
So people will say, no, it was only for the rich men, certain kings.
00:42:26.920
We got one in three children being raised in fatherless homes right now.
00:42:37.660
They're like, I match with this hot woman on the dating apps.
00:42:46.000
Matched with this hot woman on the dating apps.
00:42:50.340
They're like, what are we going to do with these ladies?
00:42:56.260
Now you're saying that's better than being in a polygynous.
00:43:04.300
Do you agree with me that the Protestant church is overwhelmingly female?
00:43:17.740
OK, do you also agree that in modernity, men are more virtuous than women?
00:43:22.340
When you say, I don't think women are looking necessarily for virtuous men.
00:43:26.600
I asked you if in modernity, men are more virtuous than women.
00:43:31.180
OK, are they at least as are they are they at least as virtuous as women?
00:43:36.200
When you say virtuous, are you talking about sexual care?
00:43:40.860
I'm talking about the virtues associated with Christian ethics, the fruits of the spirit,
00:43:53.620
Well, if they're just as virtuous as women are, then what you're actually saying there
00:43:56.940
is in a tellman is that secular ethics is creating virtuous men, not Christian ethics,
00:44:01.260
because if women outnumber men in the church and men somehow are still just as virtuous as
00:44:07.160
them, then that would mean that secular ethics itself is producing virtue, not Christianity.
00:44:12.540
I didn't follow what you said, but let me ask you this.
00:44:15.460
I need you to answer to this question before we can move to yours.
00:44:19.440
I'll let you ask yours, but I need an answer to this.
00:44:30.200
If women outnumber men in the Protestant church, there should be necessarily more virtuous women
00:44:39.820
When you say virtuous, what I'm saying is sexual pure.
00:44:50.180
There's no possible way then for you to say that women are more virtuous in modernity than
00:44:54.400
men when it comes to promiscuity because they're not.
00:44:58.280
They don't even care about how many sexual partners.
00:45:00.420
It's like saying, you know the saying that goes, a lock that can be opened by any key is
00:45:05.400
A key that can open any lock is a valuable key.
00:45:12.420
Yeah, this doesn't answer to the question, sir.
00:45:17.140
I've already told you it's a following of Christian ethics, the embrace of the fruits
00:45:20.720
of the spirit, the rejection of the pursuits of the flesh.
00:45:27.540
Now there are actual virtues that we can point to.
00:45:30.020
Things like, for women, it would be things like chastity.
00:45:34.100
These would be actual Christian virtues, right?
00:45:35.900
That would be associated with the feminine and not necessarily the masculine.
00:45:40.500
There's no possible way you can make an argument in modernity in the United States that women
00:45:45.840
It's not even possible if you're talking about those traits, right?
00:45:53.800
Yeah, there's no possible way women are more virtuous than men.
00:45:56.800
Men aren't virtuous, especially when you consider chastity out of choice.
00:46:02.680
Yeah, but just follow along with me for a second, then we'll get to you.
00:46:07.980
But the point is, is that women cannot, by this entailment, be more virtuous than men.
00:46:12.240
If that is the case, and there's 20% or, by your measure, 30% more women in Protestant
00:46:18.000
churches than men, why isn't the Protestant church producing virtuous women?
00:46:22.880
You think that men are choosing to stay abstinent.
00:46:29.560
I just think the feminized church is driving men out of the church, in my humble opinion.
00:46:34.940
If there's 30% more women in the Protestant church than men, why aren't there more virtuous
00:46:45.880
Because it's a complete collapse of their patriarchy.
00:46:54.400
The Protestant church, the Greek Orthodox church, the Catholic church...
00:47:11.000
I don't think any church will completely circumvent this.
00:47:21.460
I've interviewed a lot of religious, like, very deeply religious people on the show, right?
00:47:29.080
I can't remember his name, but there was one guy really deeply Catholic, right?
00:47:35.700
Then, I have had the Orthodox people on the show.
00:47:40.640
I've had devout Muslims on the show, and everyone seems to think that their religion is going to, like,
00:47:52.240
But I just look at the last hundred years, and I haven't seen any of the churches really win any battles
00:48:06.880
I see the feminization, generally, across the board.
00:48:11.560
And if I look at the young women of all of their churches,
00:48:23.840
If you look at their life choices, age of first marriage, number of kids.
00:48:27.740
And then, a lot of times, you get the phenomenon of, when they do marry young,
00:48:33.620
they're going to divorce at, like, first rounds, around, like, late 20s, early 30s,
00:48:38.420
for the women that got married in high school, or right after high school, right out of college.
00:48:48.440
I just don't see it circumventing or changing anything.
00:48:56.120
Someone said, people need to go directly to God, okay?
00:48:59.740
I just don't see that happening, based on the trends that I'm seeing.
00:49:12.080
I think we need to delineate two things about it.
00:49:14.500
Is polygyny morally just, or morally irreprehensible?
00:49:20.380
I'm going to assume, for the sake of the debate, that polygyny is acceptable under Christian ethics.
00:49:25.720
I want to know how it's going to save the West.
00:49:27.540
And as we dive into it, one, you're saying that Christianity in the West has already been destroyed.
00:49:34.380
How are you going to have Christian anything, let alone polygyny,
00:49:38.320
if the Protestant church has been so decimated it can't even produce virtuous women,
00:49:43.520
how in the hell is just adding a sprinkle of polygyny with the...
00:49:46.660
Or a sprinkle of degeneracy with a sprinkle of Jesus going to help this?
00:49:56.940
And I want to mention that I moved away from, I said, biblical patriarchy.
00:50:00.900
And biblical patriarchy because you have absolute patriarchy.
00:50:07.520
Andrew, I remember you had a debate on one of your channels.
00:50:10.800
And you said that if you travel home now and you tell your wife,
00:50:14.740
listen, in three hours we need to move, she would listen.
00:50:19.060
Because there's absolute patriarchy in your household.
00:50:22.560
If I was fucking her best friend, how would that be helpful?
00:50:27.640
What if I married her best friend and I was also humping her?
00:50:36.620
Is the best friend a 40-year-old woman with no prospects?
00:50:54.420
Let's say her best friend is single, middle-aged, or older woman.
00:51:02.620
I see much more benefit on the woman's side than the man's.
00:51:16.020
Maybe he could help her get her finances in order.
00:51:18.060
Again, when they're thinking of polygamy, they're thinking, oh, hot young wives.
00:51:37.060
I hope you guys get lucky, but it's just not...
00:51:41.320
I mean, Gen Z women rank men 7th on their priority list.
00:51:44.420
Um, and men go to 4th when women hit their 30s.
00:51:49.260
So, maybe by 40, you guys are 2nd or 1st, you know.
00:51:54.360
So, again, if it's an older woman, a single mother, I see way more benefit on the woman's
00:52:00.740
side than the man for being in a polygamous relationship.
00:52:04.320
Oh, that in some way be an assistant to my wife.
00:52:11.360
Rob, let them finish their exchange, and then I'll pass the mic over to you.
00:52:14.760
If I was married to my wife's best friend, I was also plowing her, how would that in
00:52:19.260
any way assist with the idea that, um, you know, if I told my wife within three hours
00:52:23.820
we needed to move, we needed to move, uh, if she was willing to do that, uh, how would
00:52:28.900
it be helpful in some way that I was also plowing some other chick on top of that?
00:52:33.880
Well, if you're moving, that's an extra set of hands.
00:52:37.660
I'm really just trying to think of this practically here.
00:52:41.400
So, let's say you're a guy and you go, you get a 40-year-old woman, let's say 35, you
00:52:48.500
You have kids with two women, they're in the same house, they're probably both going to
00:52:53.100
be working, just statistically, that's an extra 40k for the household.
00:52:58.080
That's, you know, the woman hypothetically could go, I'll think of me personally, I have
00:53:05.240
volleyball, I like to play, you know, now you got another mom, you hand them the kids, you
00:53:10.640
can go play volleyball or go to the, the women can alternate.
00:53:16.200
It's a little bit weird, especially like coming from a, you know, a Christian nation-ish,
00:53:25.500
But I'm just thinking like, from a practical perspective, I could see how it would be helpful.
00:53:31.880
Well, let me tell you what, first of all, you need to state if it's, if you're going
00:53:35.020
to follow absolute patriarchy, or you're going to follow limited patriarchy.
00:53:39.980
If you're, if you're going to have, and this once again, there's a responsibility that's
00:53:43.220
raised upon every man when he engages in marriage.
00:53:46.560
And when he engages in marriage, he has to do it responsibly.
00:53:49.460
If he doesn't, if he goes and he sleeps around with a woman, he's fornitating.
00:53:56.780
Woman, get down here and give me a cup of coffee.
00:54:00.580
So back to this, when you talk about, when you talk about limited patriarchy, you don't
00:54:08.480
A patriarchal system simply means from the father.
00:54:11.800
The Orthodox church is a patriarchal system, comes from the father.
00:54:14.860
Your priests are father, your bishop is father.
00:54:21.060
Why adding the addition of multiple women would make it more patriarchal?
00:54:24.840
The challenge is so many men listen to women and think about women before men that I just
00:54:33.740
still see that as being a challenge in the church.
00:54:37.480
You would essentially have to admit then that Adam and Eve, because Eve was the only woman
00:54:42.480
who was available to Adam, that Adam was not a true patriarch.
00:54:48.520
Wouldn't Adam be a true patriarch, even though he only had one woman?
00:55:06.000
What I'm saying is you're trying to uphold something that you don't even.
00:55:09.500
I know what Rob's, I know Andrew is going to say, you can't attack me personally.
00:55:13.940
Because Andrew is coming at this from a, what is best for society point of view.
00:55:20.340
Rob is trying to get into the nitty gritty and he's trying to get practical here.
00:55:24.160
He's like saying, look, it didn't work for you.
00:55:45.620
Let's say for a second that I was in complete violation of my own principles.
00:55:57.160
You got to give me the luxury of having some speaking time here.
00:56:04.880
He keeps telling people to stop talking over him and he stopped like most of the time.
00:56:18.160
But the problem with that is it doesn't matter what the ideal is.
00:56:23.700
That's saying Rob is saying we have to work with the reality now.
00:56:34.560
Where Andrew is saying, oh, sorry, I like Andrew.
00:56:40.380
But oh, like this is what would be best for society.
00:56:57.300
So what you're doing is you're saying you yourself don't adhere to the principles that
00:57:03.020
If I went out tonight and I got 300 hookers and sniff cocaine off of their navels, it would
00:57:07.960
have nothing to do with the argument that we're having right now.
00:57:10.920
What it illustrates is that it's an impossible standard.
00:57:21.240
And they had Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggart and this guy, Marvin Gorman, and all three of
00:57:27.360
These are men that love God and they all fell to sexual sin because it's an impossible standard
00:57:32.200
that was never an impossible standard in the Bible.
00:57:36.460
OK, let me let me we're going to go back to this.
00:57:38.920
OK, we're going to go back to my slideshow here.
00:57:40.880
Why is it an impossible standard now when it wasn't 100 years ago for men?
00:57:54.060
OK, so these are this is the dating pool I want for the sake of this.
00:57:57.980
Pretend this old woman is an ugly woman, but younger for the sake of this.
00:58:05.620
College, OK, 18 to 21, this is the only guy that's going to get the job.
00:58:13.380
So at 18, this guy is going to get access to all the women.
00:58:17.860
Now, you could say, please, top men, stop having sex with everybody.
00:58:24.300
And you could say, please, ladies, stop having sex with men that are completely out of your league.
00:58:32.980
The same way if men had, you know, Margot Robbie in her prime banging on their door and you said, please, men, stop having sex with these super hot women out of your league.
00:58:50.340
Now, the challenge is this guy in the middle, which is most men, they're either here or here.
00:58:58.700
You know, the usually the guy at the top, that's the guy that's selected for short term sexual encounters.
00:59:05.320
Sometimes they want long guy in the middle is the guy that only gets sexual access through relationships.
00:59:11.160
Guy on the on the bottom doesn't get any at all.
00:59:15.580
And usually they can men can like move through all of these stages in life.
00:59:23.940
You're saying, wait till marriage, but the women will not marry until they're old.
00:59:31.100
And so the problem is the guy you're now saying to the guy, wait till you're middle age to have sex.
00:59:51.280
I think that's and the other problem is then he becomes a target because he hasn't really dealt with women.
01:00:03.000
Now he's a mark and this lady on the top over here, she's been banging this guy for a decade.
01:00:13.040
And he doesn't really know what he's getting himself into because he can't tell the difference between a good woman or a bad woman.
01:00:28.140
But women used to, you know, have crazy stuff and then go, go to God, become a new woman.
01:00:34.260
And then this guy becomes a target or like become a new woman.
01:00:44.740
The men, men, I think would be much more willing to marry young.
01:00:50.020
But the problem is the ladies just won't do it.
01:01:04.100
So are you saying that if we have sex outside of marriage, that's not sinful?
01:01:11.120
If you have sex outside of marriage, is it sinful?
01:01:30.300
But for you to say, but for you to say, stop, dude.
01:01:38.520
For you to say, though, hey, this is an impossible standard to adhere to.
01:01:44.480
Say, okay, well then other men have also done it the other way.
01:01:49.260
Just saying, just making the affirmative statements an impossible standard is in and of itself another fallacy.
01:02:01.740
The title of this podcast or this debate was, can Christian polygamy save marriage in the West?
01:02:09.060
Let me just, a simple question for everyone watching.
01:02:11.520
If a man knew that he could take more than one, would he be more likely to marry a little bit faster?
01:02:17.480
Because the average age that men get married right now is 30.5 years old.
01:02:28.300
I don't think that men are the ones pushing marriage.
01:02:33.080
If men were the ones waiting to get married, then you would see the men marrying young women.
01:02:39.420
You know, you would see 40-year-old men with 20-year-old women or 25-year-old women because men are attracted to youth and beauty, right?
01:02:47.680
But because we see the females' age of first marriage going up, that tells me that it's the women that don't want to get married, not the men.
01:03:05.820
It's because inside the Western nations, the United States government is notorious for this, but so is the Australian government.
01:03:12.720
So is most of the North American and Western European governments.
01:03:16.100
What they do is they have a mass campaign that they started in the 1980s where they taught women to value education over reproductive years.
01:03:30.900
If women cared about education, if we cared about getting smart in our careers, we would be picking careers that make a lot of money or degrees that teach you a lot, not gender studies, not these, you know, sociology degrees where you're really doing nothing, right?
01:03:51.320
Women enjoy the excitement of going to college, right?
01:04:05.860
What happened was you got to see exactly what we wanted to do.
01:04:13.020
They go to college during their reproductive years and they get married later in life.
01:04:20.200
You have what's called a reproduction, replication crisis, reproduction crisis.
01:04:24.200
You could just call it the birth rate crisis if you want.
01:04:26.820
Whichever way you want to, you want to sway it.
01:04:28.840
We are under the reproduction replacement rate in the United States for children.
01:04:33.140
Remember, if you look at abortion rates, women under 25 are the most likely ones to get abortions.
01:04:40.160
So the age of first birth is going up and women are aborting their kids.
01:04:48.080
We thought that the ladies really wanted to be moms, but I mean, every data point shows they don't.
01:04:55.760
They'd rather put their kids in daycare than watch them and they'll abort them.
01:05:01.460
This is because women, women get married later in life because they spend their twenties in school.
01:05:09.740
They spend their twenties getting college degrees.
01:05:17.060
Every single anthropological study, which has been done on this has shown.
01:05:24.460
It's the women getting the free parties, going to part, like the bars, it's, um, getting a cushy job, you know, drinks after we're all, all of the fun stuff.
01:05:36.760
You're essentially worshipped as a woman with Instagram, right?
01:05:40.120
All these people worshipping you, all these fun opportunities.
01:05:43.580
And demonstrated that in every single Western nation where women value education over their reproductive years,
01:05:51.080
the birth rate goes straight down and marriage ends up happening later in life.
01:05:58.480
Do we say, nope, you can't, you're going to do exactly what we say to do.
01:06:14.440
The problem now is we don't have consequences for any of this stuff because there's always a guy that's going to bail the ladies out,
01:06:21.080
or there's always, um, a government program or child supporter alimony that bails us out of the bad decisions.
01:06:31.120
Personally, what I, what I would prescribe is I would say, we got to get rid of the bailout programs.
01:06:39.480
And then you're going to see things reset a little bit, not completely, right?
01:06:44.160
But, you know, you got to, you know, if you want a divorce, fine.
01:06:49.060
I'm, I'm not going to, I don't want, I don't think the men should be forced to be with a woman that doesn't want to be with them.
01:06:55.220
That's torture, but you need to pay for yourself the rest of your life.
01:07:04.440
Let me tell you what, if a woman's sleeping with a man, there's about nine times out of 10, she wants to marry that man and she will marry that man.
01:07:17.720
One of the most common complaints I've gotten from guys is that the women want to have sex with them.
01:07:22.800
You know, there's one, I asked a guy friend of mine who like, I don't know, he's, he would say like, maybe one out of 10 women want a relationship, maybe.
01:07:41.120
But when they're younger, the women do not want to be in relationships because again, they have to, by being in a relationship,
01:07:48.600
you have to turn down free concerts, free trips.
01:07:53.840
You know, all of your friends are going to Miami for a girl's trip and going on a boat in Miami.
01:08:08.060
It's just the coolest things to do in your town.
01:08:10.900
All of the single girls are going and it's fun.
01:08:13.880
And the young, especially young women, they're given so much.
01:08:18.680
We took the ring girl from the Jake Paul fight.
01:08:21.020
She was in a relationship at a small town or I forgot what southern school she was at.
01:08:29.320
Had she had the boyfriend, do you think she would have reached this global fame being a ring girl, meeting all these celebrities?
01:08:36.380
Is she going to turn that down for an average man?
01:08:41.760
Not so stigmatized by people like you and legally mandated by the government.
01:08:46.900
There would not be any women not getting married at 17.
01:08:53.720
Can you give me proofs, though, to demonstrate this?
01:08:55.640
You tell me you let you talk and now you're talking over me, brother.
01:09:01.520
Well, look, it's common sense that if, look, if polygyny was accepted and you didn't marry your high school sweetheart,
01:09:08.700
you knew the 35-year-old down the street with two wives already has been looking at her, and he's going to marry her.
01:09:22.080
We can get all the benefits of marriage without doing it.
01:09:24.220
So women are sitting on the market like these houses that can't sell, trying to find a buyer.
01:09:30.780
There's no evidence that suggests that women want to do either of those things.
01:09:36.220
Men are stepping up to marry them because of this horse shit.
01:09:39.220
But this is, a lot of the Christian guys get fooled by this because the women will say that,
01:09:43.600
but I've never met a woman that says she wants to be married.
01:09:47.500
I say, okay, how many dates are you going on a week?
01:09:53.800
Are you dating aggressively to get to where you want to go?
01:09:56.460
I'm not saying you got to sleep with them all, but you do got to go download Hinge.
01:10:15.860
Okay, guys, I do have to get going, but I may finish this on Monday.

Dane says, oh, and it is one $10 a month payment or $80 a year, and you get to put all
01:10:56.780
Polygamy is not covered as a sin biblically, but it sets up a format that allows actual
01:11:09.100
Pearl polygamy is like a woman going to the club that isn't a sin, but it sets her up to
01:11:14.600
Mitchell, if you're willing to go to the club, then you're faking it.
01:11:17.480
Paul says to turn the one claiming to be a Christian out of the church if he does such
