Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: If indeed David sinned by taking more than one wife, why didn't Nathan the prophet point that out at the same time he pointed out adultery and murder? You are accusing David of sin. Scripture didn't accuse him of sin in this area, it accused him of sin where sin was. The taking of another man's wife and having her husband killed as a cover-up. 1Ki 15:4 Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: 1Ki 15:5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. Hmmm, care to dispute Scripture? |
