First off, even if the creation of just Adam and Eve suggested monogamy only, and it doesn’t, that is not calling it an abomination. You need to own up. You said the Bible called it an abomination. Where is that?

Second, you can question my statement all you want, or you can go read it for yourself (I won’t call you a lazy turkey or whatever it was you said earlier, nor will I tell you to find it yourself, instead, I will provide it for you):

Jeremiah 31:31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.

In this verse, God says He was a husband to Israel and Judah. If polygyny was sin, He wouldn’t even use this as an example for Himself. He is so magnificent and so great, He cannot describe Himself as something sinful.

My apologies Salvation, you did not call polygyny an abomination, nor did you use the term “lazy turkey”. I made an assumption by the reply that you were Tennessee Mama.
