This article dismantles Protestia’s reactionary attack on Pastor Rich Tidwell’s plural marriage, exposing how post-Roman tradition—not Scripture—criminalized polygyny. Drawing on Greek exegesis, Hebrew covenant law, and scholars like Luck, Witte, and Cairncross, it reveals that Paul’s “husband of one wife” defines moral fidelity, not monogamy, and that the Church replaced revelation with Roman respectability.

Modern culture confuses belonging with ownership and headship with misogyny. This article reclaims the biblical vision of covenant marriage—where authority is stewardship under Messiah, not domination. True headship dignifies, protects, and sanctifies; it reflects divine order, not oppression. Belonging and Stewardship calls for a recovery of covenantal categories that reveal marriage as love in sacred order.

This article is a theological response to concerns raised about Tyrants, Rebels, and Thieves, clarifying that biblical authority is not ownership but stewardship under divine accountability. It affirms male headship, not as unchecked sovereignty, but as reverent responsibility. From the parable of the talents to the baʿal–ishi shift in Hosea, Scripture calls leaders to govern with trust, not tyranny, answerable to the One true Owner of all.
