Hi, my name is Don Milton. I'm an American businessman & Preacher. My family and I live in the Philippines for a portion of the year in a wonderful home that the Lord has helped me build. The rest of the year we live in Gilbert, Arizona. My family includes my Laura, my wife, Josiah our first born, Solomon our second born, and Michaiah, our newborn baby daughter. You are invited to spend a day rollerblading with us on our concrete roof/terrace which was built for that purpose if you visit us while we're in the Philippines. You're welcome to visit us in Gilbert as well. If you're within walking distance of our home you may enjoy having a Sabbath bible study or praise gathering with us or we could arrange a guest room. We also enjoy Sunday worship since it allows us to travel to meetings outside of our neighborhood. We are Born Again Christians in accordance with John 3:3-7 & 1 Peter 1:23 and we have "come out of her." I will discuss our family more fully in other parts of this website.
Patriarchal Christianity
In the mid 1990s I registered Isaiah4vs1.com and began placing my articles about Patriarchal Christianity on that website. Some of those articles were the beginnings of my novel, The Prince of Sumba. In July 1998 I registered this website and moved all the contents of the prior site to this one. With the thought that I could prevent their misuse I registered and continue to register names such as:
I feared that a day would come when
someone would lay claim to these names as if they invented them and pervert them
into some kind of cult. Thanks to the Lord, in the twelve years that I have been
providing this ministry, I have not heard of even one group of Christians that
practice polygamy that could be called a cult.
There were primarily 5 Christian
Patriarchy ministries on the Internet in 1997 if you include mine. What you find
on this website is exactly what I had on that site except that it has been
expanded upon and edited.
I have never had more than one wife
at a time (this was originally written in 1997) although I don't put that out of the realm of possibility.
In marriage, both the man and the
woman are free to live their lives in accordance with Scripture. If a man sees fit to take another wife
he may. As in all decisions he should seek wise counsel and consider the
consequences.
A woman typically has more freedoms
than she exercises in her marriage, however it is adultery if a woman has a
carnal relationship with a man other than her husband and it is fornication if
she even associates with another man without the permission of her husband. A
man is head of the woman and this should not be taken lightly.
For many men it is not a choice of
whether to take another wife. It is a matter of physical and spiritual
necessity. To be clear, it is not a sin to take an additional wife to "satisfy"
ones own needs. Marriage was invented by God in order to satisfy the needs of
man. For Adam there was found no suitable helpmeet, so God created woman.
Now, in order to avoid immorality
it is important that no preacher deny a man this right to have his own God given
desires satisfied in a way that is appropriate before God. This means that in
order to avoid immorality a man should not be discouraged from taking an
additional wife that lives with him or even a concubine, a wife who does not
live with him.
A man must consider that he must be
part of his varied households in sufficient amounts of time to prevent his sons from lacking
appropriate male role models. If a man does not take this into consideration he
is risking that his sons may turn out to be a homosexuals. Let's not be
irresponsible with our families. We are called upon to go forth and multiply but
not in such a way that we will cause more problems than we solve.
All of my writings of the last
two years have been placed on
ChristianMarriage.com which is my primary
website. Please visit it.
God bless your families.
