Far out thing like a woman having multiple husbands? I'm not the one who believes that Paul is trying to stop ministers from polygamy. Also you now introduce that Paul was OK with polygamy but just didn't think it was OK for ministers? That my dear brother opens up a Can O Worms. Please explain how you found that Paul was OK with plural marriages and how did you come to the conclusion that this list in 1st Timothy 3 are only suggestions? 1st Timothy 5:9 still uses the term ONE HUSBAND, and if we are going to be consistent we would have to apply the same meaning to that verse and you have with the two other verses 1st Timothy 3:2, and 1st Timothy 3:12.
