Yes, please do provide citations where God created Adam and Eve, plus Stephanie, Cindy, Jane, etc. Please cite where Noah and sons took multiple wives aboard the Ark. Please cite NT Scriptures where Jesus and St. Paul taught multiple wives.

I'll wait.

You obviously have difficulty with reading comprehension. You should recall I said that God approved of polygamy "...at various times..." While there may have been cultural polygamy during NT times, it was not generally recognized as one of the "various" times God required or approved of it.

It would appear you acknowledge "various" OT patriarchs practiced polygamy with God's approval, and sometimes with his disapproval. David's plural wives were only a problem with God after the Bathsheba incident. Although Solomon had problems later in his life God allowed him to build the temple--so he wasn't a total reprobate with several wives until later. I never claimed Noah and his sons had multiple wives--are you trying to build a strawman?
