1 Sam 12:8
New International Version (NIV)
Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And
if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.
God wasn't angry because he took another wife, but because he took another man's wife (not to mention the killing and adultery).
Also, solomon wasn't condemned for having more than one wife... it was because his wives brought their gods with them.... reckon it'd maybe be ok if they were all Godly women??
hahaha sounds like God didnt have too many problems with Solomon having of wives in the old testament... just foreign wives with different gods..
But of course... the new testament is the word now right? poo to the old testament with it's complete lack of relevance to the New Testament and our these days!... Wait a minute... (a warm glass of satire anyone)
Sure, 1 Tim 3:12 (The only place in the NT I hear)
"A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well."
This is written to timothy where he was... never repeated, and only regarding 'deacons'...
Apart from 'the law of the land' that says I can't have more than one wife these days.... and of course the lunacy of trying to understand more than one woman absolutely *wink*.... sounds having more than one wife is ok.........
hahaha.. am I saying you should have more than one wife?? Probably best to act as though you will be a 'deacon' in the least... still... interesting food for thought
