1 | Wife or wives? | Deut 7:3 | SBGTF | 9462 | ||
Thanks Nick. Three of those verses deal with a king or a leader (again, God does not seem to condemn David or Solomon for this sin - nor does it condemn them for multiplying horses...Deut 17:16), and Lev 18:18 is confusing at best. It describes not marrying your wife's sister? | ||||||
2 | Wife or wives? | Deut 7:3 | SBGTF | 9411 | ||
God commands in Genesis that a man is to leave his family and cleave to his wife. This is at the beginning of world history. No exception is made here. At each description of a man having multiple wives and/or concubines, there is no mention of God's condemnation of the act. Solomon gets a passing mention of how his many wives and concubines led him to serve other gods but the act of poligamy is not condemned. The only place I can find that has anything close to a condemnation of poligamy is the qualifications for elders, "husband of one wife." I am sure I have missed some subtlety of scripture that speaks of this issue. | ||||||
