2 Samuel 12:7-8 And Nathan said to David: 'Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
and I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that were too little, then would I add unto thee so much more.
Don't you think when christians say polygamy is wrong it is like they are conforming the Bible to their own image?

judging from many of the questions you ask and the way you answer other peoples question it seems like you do this a lot. you seem to be leaving out the context in which things are written so that you can use the wording of the bible to fit into whatever you would like it to say. in the old testament we were also required to burn sheep at an alter but the new testament gave us jesus christ as the single offering so we would never again have to make a burnt offering to the lord.

I think you are trying to get a rise out of people. Why don't you ask that in Religion & Spirituality?

polygamy is not evil neither it is wrong... but nowadays can men really take care of multiple wives and still be fair??
