You said god only authorizes one man and one wife but what about in the Old Testament. Jacob and Joseph had multiple wives condoned by God and even Solomon was married to 700 wives and provided with 300 concubines by god himself.Jacob and Solomon had more that one wife but there is no place in the Bible that says God approved of this. In Deuteronomy 17:7 kings were specifically for bidden to have more that one wife.Quote:And he shall not acquire many wives for himself, lest his heart turn away.Solomon's wives did turn he heart away from God so that he worshipped other gods.
Where does the Bible say anything about Joseph having more than one wife?
My apologies, I meant to say Jacob! I should know, I played one of those naughty little wives in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
