That was his son Solomon with all the wives and concubines...but...it doesn't change your point.
However, Christianity is not Judaism, and Jesus did not approve of polygamy. He said, "In the beginning God made them male and female and A man shall leave him father and mother and be united to his wife; and the two of them shall be one flesh."
Therefore....The Post-Christian West

Now wait, see here is the part where I get confused. It is my understanding that the Christian belief is that the bible is the inerrant word of God. But now you tell me that Jesus changed that, so if that is true then the Bible cannot be the inerrant word of God because if Jesus had to change it that would mean it wasnt right in the first place..
So since the Old Testament is Judaism and the New Testament is Christianity does that mean that the 10 commandments no longer apply. And then didn't Jesus say that he came not to replace the law but to fulfill it. But yet you are telling me that he changed it.
Can you see the cause of my confusion?
"Therefore....The Post-Christian West"
Which, as per your explanation on this one topic, would be equivalent to the Pre-Christian East.
