National Polygamy Advocate

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed on Bards Logic Political Talk, a 3-hour show hosted by Robert Jetter Jr. (this episode is Part 8) on August 4, 2021. The complete show lasted 3 hours long. For this podcast, the entire show has been subdivided into several parts. In this Part 8, Mark Henkel was asked about his political self-identification. He replied with his soundbite about the current political environment: "Liberals are Liars; Conservatives are Liberals; and Libertarians are Lip Servers," referring to them as "Corpemocrats, Corpublicans, and Corporatarians" who do not recognize that "liberty and capitalism are for Individuals, not Big Government-born Corporations." One of the co-panelists named Kelly asked great questions about marriage doctrine in the Bible. Mark Henkel provided numerous examples and citations from the Scriptures to prove how the Bible never banned polygamy or called it a sin. In response to a theory to try to rationalize why there was polygamy in the Bible, Mark Henkel explained, "I think that's over-thinking it" and that "they just did it without thinking about it" precisely because it never was a sin anyway. When describing the "MIA wife" (FIRST wife) verses of 1 Timothy 3:2, 3:12, and Titus 1:6, Mark Henkel explained that those three verses explicitly and only applied to "bishops, elders, and deacons" who were required to each be the husband of their "FIRST wife" according to the original language - not "ONE wife" as has been wrongly translated. Referencing a song by the famous TV show for children, "Sesame Street," that sang the lesson, "One of these things is not like the others, one of these just does not belong," Mark Henkel pointed out that calling "MIA wife" as "ONE wife" instead of as "FIRST wife" causes that prohibition to be unlike the other things that bishops, elders, and deacons were not supposed to do. More parts of this interview will air in the following episodes of this podcast.
