" In the patriarchal societies of ancient Israel, it was considered rewarding and traditional to have multiple wives, just as it was considered rewarding to have honor and wealth, so God, in 2 Samuel 12:7-8, was possibly giving the wives as a reward to David, but not necessarily as a way to permit polygamy. Knowing that God does not change his mind or his original intentions for society [ see Numbers 23:19], we know that God’s emphasis on the oneness of two spouses in Genesis 2:24 was not to be changed, so, even with the way God rewarded David, it does not indicate that God actually approved of David’s polygamy.

" In the context of this verse, the definition of “sanctification,” according to Oxford Languages, is, “the action of making or declaring something holy” or “the action or process of being freed from sin or purified.” Applying these definitions to hermeneutics, it may be observed that giving birth has nothing to do with being freed from sin or being set apart as holy. In fact, Jeremiah 19:3-5 mentions, “This is what the LORD, the God of HOSTS, the God of Israel says, ‘I am going to bring such disaster to this place (Judah) that the ears of all who hear of it will ring, because they have abandoned me and made this a foreign place… they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent. They have built high places to Baal on which they burn their children in fire as offerings to Baal…” As seen in the verse, people burned their children as sacrifices to Baal, a foreign idol. Among that crowd may have been women or husbands who received the consent of their wives to sacrifice their children. In order for those women to have any children to sacrifice to Baal in the first place, they had to undergo the process of childbirth. If one was to say that women would be directly sanctified through childbirth, that would be a misinterpretation, because if sanctification represents the process of being set apart as holy or being freed from sin, then that would mean that those women should have been holy and should have been freed from sin, but instead they were sacrificing to a foreign idol.

" The extraterrestrials finally understood the impact of their theories, stereotypes, and logical fallacies, but, too traumatized by the thought of death, they were never able to remove their cloaks. With the cloak, they thought that their identities, their merits, and even their level of innocence or culpability in crime would be determined by their true aspirations, true mindsets, and true intellectual capacities, not just stereotypes, theories, and logical fallacies based on preconceived notions about race. The cloaks at least concealed the physical attributes that made them classified by their race, and, since their racial identity would be concealed, their peers wouldn’t use any preconceived notions to assess them based on their race!

" In fact, they, by being helpers to humanity, were actually able to guide humanity, not be guided, and they could control and execute decisions, not wait for someone else to control and execute decisions! That same word was used to refer to women; God described women the same way he described himself. Therefore, although wives were commanded to be submissive, wives’ roles as “helpers” elevate them to have control on guidance and decisions, and with guiding her husband/making decisions while “helping” her husband, that would mean that a husband would also have to honor his wife as a “helper” and submit to her guidance under her role as a “helper.

" with the semantics from general context, it can be seen that “helper” is not synonymous to “slave.” If a person were to state that he/she “helped” a friend with his/her homework, would that mean that the helper is insignificant? Of course not. When a person helps another person with homework, he/she is actually the one who consolidates the understanding of the person who receives their help, which does oppose the claim that “helpers” are inferiors. In fact, in Psalms 54:4 and John 14:26, God and the Holy Spirit are referred to as “helpers,” which was the same word Eve was referred to:
“See, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who keeps my soul alive.” (Psalms 54:4)
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” (John 14:26) "

" Because the aviator-organisms are flexible with the atmospheric attributes of the area they’re flying in, the other three races theorized and overall concluded that all aviator-organisms were unable to incisively analyze their surroundings and formulate an opinion, and, with their putative lack of incisiveness, the other races concluded that they’ll be unable to find a permanent, suitable abode for themselves, as they thought that they’ll be constantly flying in search for one, and, therefore, become so tired that the aviator-organisms would be unable to provide for themselves. Because they would be unable to provide for themselves, they would become extinct. The other three races did not compile a sufficient amount of evidentiary support to prove that it is possible for the entire concatenation of events to actually occur. They used the slippery slope fallacy, which would make them slip and suffer a downfall. "

" Unfortunately, the robot did not make it to Earth, where there are several problems with logical fallacies, stereotyping, and the inability to distinguish a theory from a fact. Maybe everyone on Earth should wear cloaks, so no one would be judged based on preconceived notions about race, gender, and other possible biological or social factors that are so terribly susceptible to stereotyping. Stereotyping, to all those on Earth who may be reading this, is nothing more than a bunch of theories that replace facts, and those theories are nothing more than a bunch of stupid argumentative claims supported by logical fallacies.

" Also, in Joel 2:16, it says, “Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the aged, gather the children…” This was a command meant to gather the people in Zion to fast and repent. It would not make sense for the women of the “congregation” to solely be sanctified through childbirth, because women who were still pregnant, had babies that were still developing, or were unmarried would not be able to be “sanctified,” since it is highly improbable for a woman to immediately give birth at the beginning of the assembly. If women had to be sanctified through childbirth, then the entire “congregation” would not be sanctified, as was commanded, because not all women could give birth right when the assembly began. "
