I have been sharing this one on FB with...
So answer me this if Polygyny is so wrong. Why did YaHWeH regulate it??
Exodus 21:10 KJV If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
If it is wrong why would YaHWeH use Moses to lead Israel OUT of Egypt (read the book of Exodus) AND write the first five books of the Bible and the 10 commandments??
Why did YaHWeH GIVE/BLESS David with wives??
2 Samuel 12:8 KJV And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
Did you catch the last part of the verse? " if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things."
roughly meaning if that was too little, I YaHWeH would have given you MORE. More what?? More WIVES, more HOUSES?? I would say YaHWeH was talking about WIVES because David was being rebuked for taking another mans wife. Men have done that in monogamist marriages.
Why would YaHWeH bless Gideon with HIS Spirit... Judges 6:34 KJV But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.
if having many wives was so wrong??
Judges 8:30 KJV And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
If it is so wrong why did YaHWeH portray Himself as a polygynist??
Ezekiel 23 the whole chapter.
And if it is so wrong WHY did the Messiah the bridegroom take FIVE virgins to the marriage??
Matthew 25:1-11 KJV Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. (2) And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. (3) They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: (4) But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (5) While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. (6) And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. (7) Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. (8) And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. (9) But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. (10) And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. (11) Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Polygyny is NOT for everyone, just like marriage is NOT for everyone, AND just like monogamy it is NOT for everyone, yet YaHWeH BLESSES them ALL.
