Sorry, as much as you may want it to be true, it's not. There is no express prohibition/condemnation of polygamy in the Bible.
Right. And, to be fair, it's not necessarily rousingly endorsed either. lol! Of course, ... there is also no express prohibition/condemnation of sticking a fork into a live electrical outlet in Bible either.
Wow! Talk about a cheap shot. See...you just WANT it not to be legit.
But we are counseled (commanded) ... to be wise ... and to live lives (as christians) ... free from even the appearance of selfishness and sin. Every single example of polygamy in the Bible is portrayed as having negative results ...
Oh really?? Can you share with us the 'negative results portrayed in the Bible as a result of Gideon taking more than one wife? How bout Noah's dad, cause he had a couple too? And do be specific. lol!
With these as the fruit of polygamy protrayed in the Bible, I don't think that anyone could claim that such a lifestyle could be considered a 'wise' choice.
Well, since your premise if flawed, no need to counter. But I don't disagree that polygamy may not be a wise decision. That seems a legit point. It's just that people have that choice to make (unwise though it may be) and nothing in the Bible outright condemns (nor encourages) it...
Wow! Following the crackerjack logic espoused by this poster, I am declaring right now that The Bible is against us voting for Republicans in the 06 midterms!
Why???
Well true, if you read the Bible, there is no express prohibition/condemnation of voting republican. But neither is there against sticking a fork into a live electrical outlet either.
LOL!
