Subject: Why did God allow Polygamy? |
Bible Note: In the beginning, God allowed incest (we're all one family) and later on he allowed polygamy. This was for procreation purposes and to multiply the seed of a patriarchal society. It's interesting that women never had multiple husbands, it's always multiple wives. A man could keep a multitude of women pregnant at the same time. |
