In 100% agreement on this issue. An absence of discernment and sound understanding of the word can lead them to these challenges as solicited by the enemy. That's why we require a thorough understanding of His Word to equip us for this life, and ultimately, to have that relationship with our heavenly Father.
It's kind of hilarious how critical you are of things like Pokemon and Harry Potter and yet seem to be a-okay with polygamy (which is infinitely worse).

I wonder if anyone will dare to venture into the territory of addressing the breaking of the tenth commandment? I have mentioned it a few times, but with all the boasting and crowing and primping and preening of those siding with Satan's pronounced propensity for sexual perversions, I have yet to see anyone try to refute, let alone even dispute, that the commandment was broken by those who engage in polyamorous relationships and polygamy.

Matt 22

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c]
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Jesus said all the law and the prophets hang on Love.

Is have anther wife hurt your first wife? I believe normal wife hurt to see her husband marry other.

It mean this action broke the law of love which is constitutions or the basic of all law

If the answered is yes then it mean have another wife broke the law of love. It mean broke ten commandment because ten commandment hang on love.

Why God didn't want us to steal? If you love your fellow men why you steal or hurt them.

Basically all law is the manifestation of love.

do not kill. for example you not going to kill your son because you love him.

a normal wife hurt when her husband marry to other woman. Hurt other is broke the law of love which is the constitution of all laws

"He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray."
1Kings 3:4

Its only a description of what happened when the king took too many wives. It is not a command to have only one wife. Even one wife can lead you astray or destroy you and your morality, faith and life.
If Solomon had seven hundred wives, then of course Jesus had blood from the line of David. Who wouldn't?

It was not holy, it was sensual indulgence- which is lack of self-control- which is one of the fruits of the Spirit. It was hard-hearted-ness. David was a man after God's own heart for the most part, but he sinned just like everyone else. Yes it was a sin, we are supposed to love God and everyone. How was it love to his wife to get other wives?

Jesus said Moses permitted you to divorce because your hearts were hardened, but it was not this way from the beginning. God made one wife for Adam, and one husband for Eve. And in the qualifications for elders, which actually are qualities every Christian should have but elders must have, is that they must be the husband of one wife. Jesus has one bride, to have more is not a loving nor holy thing to do.

let's put it this way, everything we have ever read about or heard about polygamous
concerning these types of relationships in the scripture, 'there's always some kind of trouble'...
