Subject: Pologomy Allowed? |
Bible Note: The condemning of only small portions of a very large practice instead of the whole matter would imply it is allowed especially when it is so blatant. Murder is mentioned and it is also condemned - though killing was also sometimes commanded. And it may be implied that a man should have married his dead brother's sister even if married in the OT since it was not specifically forbidden. Do you want to make up more rules than the 613 the Jews find in the OT? I live in a country (and you probably do too) that only allow serial polygamy (AKA divorce-remarriage). There are countries that this is a real issue and the churches are causing major social problems by forcing divorce on polygamists wanting to join. |
