Bible Question: In the old testiment polygamy was accepted and prevalent. When and why did this change? No one . . . even Biblical scholars can answer this for me. David and Solomon had many wives. why can't I? When did this change. God is not changable is he? Please advise! |
Bible Answer: Headdoc, I dislike assumptions, but indulge me with a couple: 1. With the "handle" of headdoc, I assume that you are the psychological field. 2. I would bet that it is not you, but a patient or two that has raised this question. 3. I believe that your real question is when and why did people change back to monogamy views from polygamy views and is there a biblical reference? I do not know the answer to this question. 4. If your question is "why can't I" and "is God changeble" (which I believe you used to elicit and trigger more "Hits") that question was well answered by Makarios, JustMe, and Hank. |
