***Same sex, yes, but multiple wives? Where in the Bible does it say it is an “abomination”?****

Deu 17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

Mat 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

So, according to this, taking a second wife is adultery.

And so many, including Old Testament people have done it.

Deu 17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which [is] not thy brother.

Deu 17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

You have twisted all 3 verses.

The first 2 in the OT are SPECIFICALLY talking about a KING as shown in the verse prior to the first you quoted: "Deu 17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which [is] not thy brother.

The NT verse says "put away his wife", which is not part of the discussion. The discussion was about PLURAL WIVES, meaning more than 1 at the same time, not divorcing and re-marrying.

Now here's one to chew on:

"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 had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things." 2 Samuel 12:8
