If you can't get that...then you are full of HOOEY!!!

Don't forget, Dora, that in the beginning, when people needed to be fruitful and multiply the MOST.....at the outset in the garden of Eden, that God gave Adam ONE wife. I stand by my original statements that the men here arguing for polygamy are just arguing based on their own fleshly lusts and simply hiding behind what they wish was biblical precedent in support of it.
Luke2447 won't even say that monogamy is ideal. He thinks polygamy is just as good. Ignorance on this list never does cease. Too bad God didn't give Adam Eve, Sally and Bessy. Then he might have a case. But God knew what he was doing. He actually cares about the needs of women rather than run roughshod over them.
