Well sure they are different. Is one more deplorable than the other to you?

Yep, I used that same line in my B.C. days as my excuse for using certain chemicals. But after I was saved I was saw that salvation and sanctification is all about maturing into Christlikeness. That means changing my childish ways to better reflect the man God fashioned me to become.
Like I said TWICE now; God created one man (Adam) and one woman (Eve) to inhabit Eden. According to the hermeneutic Law of First Mention, they are God's PERFECT PATTERN. The Bible admits that in the Old Testament God allowed men to do certain things because of their hard hearts and ignorance. But now, because of the New Covenant of Jesus Christ, men are called to repent of their childish ways and grow into a matured man of God.
I guess the good Doctor needs to show where Jesus (a type of Adam) is said to have multiple brides (the bride is a type of Eve). I can't find any such scripture myself. So please, show us where it is found.

I agree Dora.

This law is a man's law not God's and it doesn't work all the time so it can't be a law but that is for another discussion. Face it you have no Biblical data that it is wrong no direct command in the OT or NT. Give it up!

One fact does not negate the other. Go buy yourself a few slaves and trade a few goats for another wife!

There's only one wife in my kitchen,
She bakes chocolate cakes extraordinaire!
If there were two wives in my kitchen,
I think I would pull out my hair!!!!
