Moses, Abraham, Jacob.

Moses' second wife was a Kushite...and There's NOTHIN' in the OT sayin' that Moses' two wives were simultaneous. (What? Ya got somethin' against serial monogamy?)

As for Abraham...we've had this discussion before Ravenwolf...I showed it all to you then and you couldn't counter it then...as only Sarai referenced Hagar as a "wife"...and she had no authority to do so...Hagar herself didn't...the Angel of the Lord didn't...Abram didn't...Moses the author and/or editor of Genesis didn't...the apostle Paul didn't in his reference to her in Galatians 4...

And, yes, we know Abraham took Keturah as a "wife" in Gen. 25:1 post Sarah's death...tho it is possible that Keturah may have been a "concubine" while Sarah was still alive. But we can't make accusations based upon possibles, can we?

As for Jacob, his polygamy was ushered in by pure deception. Since when is deception to be honored as some cultural redefinition of marriage, which God defined in Genesis 2 and Jesus reiterated in matthew 19?

You have only showed me what is not in the scripture, and even while doing that you could only show me by lack of scripture.

Meaning the scripture not being there proves to you there was no authority, it does not prove that to me.

I am just interested in what the Bible says took place, if you do not approve of Abraham or Jacob having more than one wife that is not my problem.

(What? Ya got somethin’ against serial monogamy?) >>>>>>

No, I have nothing against monogamy, you can own one at a lot less cost than two.

Have you got something against just accepting what the Bible says with out trying to rule something out just because it does not meet with your approval?
