Go Straight Forward

If I move straight forward trusting God, what will the outcome be?
I am not exactly sure how to live with the truth that God allows multiple marriages by one man. It was quite a revelation when discovered and the more I do biblical research and exegesis the more I discover its allowance. It seems to me the moral argumentation against polygyny has be logically fallacious and poorly thought out at best, and outright disingenuous, deceptive, and damaging at worse. The fact that the opponents of polygyny can't be logically consistent and must resort to various logical fallacies in order to show that polygyny is a sin further frustrates me and drives me to be one of the men who will stand up against this man made religious rule. We must not label and inherently blessed thing as bad or sinful. Lets define the term we are discussing, for anyone who doesn't know. Polygyny: When a man is married to more than one woman at one time. This indeed is a type of Polygamy, which is "more than one spouse", but must be distinguished in regards to scripture, as polygamy is not allowed, only polygyny is. This will be the straight forward post, just to get it out in the open. I would, Yahweh willing, truly feel blessed to love and care for multiple women and many children. I am actually only married to one woman, but I have thoroughly searched the scriptures to find that polygyny is not condemned, and have thoroughly searched my heart to realize that I want to leave that door open to God's provision. With that said, obviously, there are some serious personal, cultural, and sociological circumstances to overcome. I will have to continue to give myself time to work through it all, and this blog will be one avenue to help me cope with the transition of heart and mind. God might have different plans for me, and I am open to that, but he never contradicts his word and loves Glorifying it. If he has a different plan or a different timeline, I am open to that, but make no doubts about it, I am asking for his blessing in this. I couldn't do it without him, he is my life leader. It is my hope that in these days that I will grow in Yahweh and in truth and in love, and that somehow, someway, mountains would move and the relationships I currently have would be protected and salvaged. I expect that because of the cultural and inter-religious misinterpretation of the bibles allowances and dis-allowances in marriage, many people will be mad at me and think I am wrong for wanting and/or defending polygyny. At this point, I feel/think I know the truth. If I am wrong (honestly I can't see any biblical argument that would convince me right now, but feel free to email me one if you think you might have it and want to save me) then I pray that somehow God would reveal it to me so that I might change my beliefs and know his truth. There, I have set the record straight as to one of the hopes / purposes of this site. Now, feel free to comment on my blog, or email me at talk@yeesh.life if you think I'm out of my mind or have comments for me. Now, straight forward I go.
