"Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them."
I assume we are looking at the word "unperfect". In Jeremiah 1:12 we are told that God watches over His word to perform and to do what He says He is going to do. "“for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.” To be perfect means to bear fruit. A tree that is not mature enough to produce fruit does not lack perfection. In Hebrew the word we are looking at is גָּלְמִ֤י. The first letter of this word is Gimel and this represents the camel. We see this when Jesus was born when the wise men brought gifts to Jesus and presented them to Him at the time and place where He was born and entered into this world. The next letter is Lamed and this represents a Staff. God watches over the gifts that He gives us the same way a shepherd watches over a flock of sheep. The next letter Mem represents water. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. We know that living water flows from the Throne of God in Heaven. The final letter is Yud. This letter is little more then the mark the pen makes when it first touches the paper. All of the Hebrew letters start with Yud. This is represented by the Big Bang when all of the Universe stared off smaller then mustard seed. It is at this point where infinity became finite.
So we can look at the Hebrew to understand the meaning of the word translated: "unperfect". Also clearly we are talking about a book here that is written at conception. The word "book" is used 12 times in Revelation. I am sure this is one of the books that we read about in Johns letter to the churches. 12 is a powerful number. There are 12 tribes of Israel, 12 months in a year, 12 hours in a day, 12 gates, 12 minor prophets and so on.

Grace in Greek is Charis the word "gift" is Charisma. This is the word Charismatic Christians use to talk about the gifts of the Holy Spirit of God in us. Grace is a work God does in us and though us to change us into the Image of His Son. My wife talks about this. She thinks that married people look alike. If we are to be the Bride of Christ then we are to become as He is.
Man are you a fool or what?
Genesis 2:24 (ASV)
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
NO MULTIPLE WIVES ALLOWED.
Christ shall marry, HIS ASSEMBLY the HE HAS BUILT, Which makes it a singular Entity HE is Wedding.

Deuteronomy 21
15 “If a man has two wives, one loved and the other [b]unloved, and both the loved and the unloved have born him sons, and the firstborn son belongs to the unloved wife, 16 then on the day when he wills his possessions to his sons, he cannot treat the son of his loved wife as firstborn in place of the son of the unloved wife—the [actual] firstborn.
2 Samuel 11
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more! 9 Why have you despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in His sight?
Matthew 5
22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother [e]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’[f] shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, [g]‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of [h]hell fire.

According to how you reasoned this out...... it would neither be unlawful for a wife to have multiple husbands.
God said it is UNLAWFUL for a man to hav more than one wife. He calls it adultry.
This is just another proof of how they yell and scream we love our sin, Yet when it comes down to t. It is they who love to excuse sin. It depends on how it suits them.

1. Define adultry? and you have biblical proof
2. Jesus said a. Man and woman become one flesh. It is a picture of our relationship with God. One flesh. United in christ.
I know one thing, You ever judge another person for any particular sin. You are a hypocrite. Because her you are excusing the sin of adultry. Saying it is ok.
