That they're criticizing Akinola for this move against polygamy? Unbelievable. You’re saying that the HoBD listserve participants don’t see anything wrong with polygamy?

What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." Spin that, distortionists. I think Our Lord was quite clear on how many people it took to make a marriage and what genders they were to be:

Matthew 19:4 [Jesus] answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and(I) the two shall become one flesh’? 6So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Spin that, distortionists.
