Yes, polygamy is described in the Old Testament, but Christ raised marriage to a sacrament linking the groom as "Christlike" and the bride as "Churchlike", and obviously Christ only has one Church and the Church only has one Christ, so it must remain monogamous.

indeed, i just got finished reading The Book of Jubilees, which is a much more detailed account of the contents of Genesis and Exodus, and more than a few times there is some strange things involving marrying cousins and multiple wives, not only that, several repeats of the same theme of story as cain and abel, but the one about the mother persuading the son to "steal the blessing" from the old man using pretend hairy strap-ons lol

i mean, seriously, the jews refusal to recognise the Messiah was truly the end of them, what remains now is just the synagogue of satan, at least in the formal, institutional sense, not necessarily the spirit of many of the practitioners

Jews have their own covenant.

They should all convert to Christianity, to be on the safe side, but I think that about everyone who isn't baptized.

well, supposedly the proportion of saved vs damned, according to what The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya indicates (i forget now - have read it twice but can't remember the justification for this) is the same as it was during the War in Heaven, ie, 1/3 are fallen

so that actually suggests that it's not about which religion you follow, it's that you follow the Law that Christ brings, and Jesus and numerous other writers in the New Testament say this as well, even the Qur'an says that who follows the Law of Allah is a muslim (one who follows the way of peace)

Well, we are told that nobody can come to the Father, except through Christ, and the only clear way through Christ is baptism, so everyone unbaptized is taking a needless risk.

I was baptized at age 14 :) my mother has the bible and photo I was given as a memorial.
