What say you -- From the beginning it was not so -- God made them man and female. NOT FEMALES. God frowns on polygamy

Polygamy only loses if scripture condemns it... Divorce wasn't in the beginning either and yet its not sin......so again where do you PROVE to someone that they will die lost and go to hell for living in Polygamy

I don't see him frowining in this verse

As a reward for his obedience to God....... here is his reward

And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom,

Take it up with Jehoviah.. it was sooo from not long after the beginning

First don't assume I said you would go to hell. I didn't, and certainly some polygamist will be in heaven, but that doesn't mean that is Gods plan for the NT church.

ruh roh.... now your on my stomping ground........ I have people screaming OT praise scriptures at me..... as an excuse for why they have church the way they do..... with NO NT scriptures at all ........

So are you saying... that GOD SET a better order for the NT church than what they prevously had?? I bet you don't believe that applies to scriptural church services though

God was reminding David that he exalted him to be king. The custom was for kings to inherit his predessors harem. God was simply saying I put you in this position, not condoning polygamy.
