Godschild Wrote:Lamech was not a Jew he was just another man that lived before God chose His people. I'm not sure Lamech was the first to practice this however he is the first mentioned. You should have read a little farther and you would have noticed that God was very displeased with the world "the Flood."
Yahweh seemed upset with the violence in the world.
Quote:Genesis 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Quote:Also note that the only men that made that boat ride had one wife each.
Maybe that's only because they weren't fortunate enough to have more than one.
Quote:Abraham took Keturah only after Sarah died, no polygamy there.
My bad. I'd forgotten that Sarah died first. Still, there were all the concubines, and not just Hagar. I noted the plural form of the word "concubines".
That still counts as polygamy.
Quote:Yes Abraham had sex outside of marriage, the first time that's recorded was with Sarah's servant Hagar and this happened before God made the covenant and changed Abram's name to Abraham.
The practice of having concubines on the side with one's wives didn't end with Abraham, even if you want to interpret that he stopped the practice with the covenant (no indication that he did). Righteous David had them. Solomon had about 300 of them.
Quote:Yes David did wrong in more than the matter of Uriah and God punished David for this wrong and others...
The scripture specifies that the matter with Uriah was the only wrong that he had committed.
Quote:Regulation of a practice does not always suggest approval.
Yes it does.
Regulation may set boundaries for a practice but tacitly offers the stamp of approval of a practice within those boundaries.
Got any OT chapter and verses that says, suggests or implies that Yahweh condemned polygamy?
