I have pointed out that polygamy is Biblical.Well, David slept with Bathsheba. (Does that make adultery "Biblical"???)
God told Hosea to marry a prostitute who continued to carry on that as a "cottage industry." (Does that make prostitution as your wife's "job" "Biblical," DU?)
God told Isaiah to walk around three years' naked (Is. 20:2-4). (Does that make exhibitionism "Biblical," DU?)
What a crock! You lack such basic discernment!
DU, while we all have blinders somewhere, what's truly pathetic is your export yours on matters in which your basic lack of understanding has been exposed like Isaiah's private parts!
Tell us, DU, where God told ANYBODY to "go and get an extra wife?" (or something similar)

Yes, it is biblical, Adultery was soundly condemned in the Bible, in fact the very serial polygamy we have now of Divorce and remarriage was condemned personally by Jesus (
Matthew 5:31-32)
God told Hosea to marry a prostitute who continued to carry on that as a "cottage industry." (Does that make prostitution as your wife's "job" "Biblical," DU?)
No, it does not, she was still condemned in the scriptures.
God told Isaiah to walk around three years' naked (Is. 20:2-4). (Does that make exhibitionism "Biblical," DU?)
As usual, you're getting silly. Besides, waiting around naked,where I live, and well you wouldn't have to worry about prostitution... (Frostbite)
What a crock! You lack such basic discernment!
Back at you. Jesus fasted for Forty days, so did Moses, I don't think people should fast for 40 days (24 hours, sure, a couple of days maybe, 40 days, nope!)
DU, while we all have blinders somewhere, what's truly pathetic is your export yours on matters in which your basic lack of understanding has been exposed like Isaiah's private parts!
Your analogy is... disturbing, not going to go there.
So, you admit you have blinders? OK, have you ever considered what your posts will look like in retrospect when we turn out to be right and your "blinders" kept you from seeing it?
I didn't think so.

When David murdered Uriah, Nathan the prophet came to him and said:
2 Samual 12:7-8 7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
8 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.
So, God told David that he gave him all his wives, and would have given him more if that was too little. I believe this covers your "Go get another wife".
Logic 101: If God
ever approved of Polygamy, and
God does not change then
God approves of polygamy now.
It's simple logic really.
Let me say that I am very happily married to Mrs. DelphiUser and have no plans or desire to practice the illegal, but moral practice of polygamy. nor do I plan to practice the legal but immoral practice of abortion.
My main point with polygamy is and always has been that:
Our laws, and our culture do not dictate God's law.
God's law should dictate our morals and in large part our laws.
God's law does not even seem to influence our laws anymore, this should be a problem for Conservatives, even if you don't like Mormons personally, you should agree with us logically on conservatism.
Your opinion probably varies, and that's OK too.
