Why Did Yahweh Support Polygamy? by AntiChristian: 4:25pm On Sep 02, 2020
It is often said that Yahweh/Jehovah/Jesus of the Christians prescribe one man for one woman so how come tens of Prophets/men of God had more than one wives and or concubines?

Cain's son Lamech and Moses had 2 wives. David had 8 wives! Solomon 300 wives and 700 concubines! Gideon had many wives!
Deuteronomy 21:1-17 suggest marriage of multiple wives including captured prisoners gotten from conquests.

Elkanah a godly man and father of Samuel had 2 wives. Abraham, the father of faith had two wives!

In 2 Samuel 12 when the prophet Nathan confronts David over his sin with Bathsheba, we read: "This is what the Lord God of Israel says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I have given you your master's house and your master's wives into your bosom … and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and as if this wasn't enough, I would have given you even more."

Is it that all of these men of God were not guided (by the Holy spirit) in their marriages?

And lastly Yahweh prescribed law to protect first wife in Polygamy- Exo 21:10 "If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights."

Why this law since Yahweh/Jehovah is against polygamy?

We just need answers to the questions in red!
Cantankerous Christians will only deviate from the OP and abuse.
Cool ones will either drop their input or walk away!

You should be more concerned about how Allah allowed Muhammad to marry his adopted son's wife.

Zaid had been living with Mohammed since he was 8 years old, Mohammed was a father figure and by Arab's tradition that time, Zaid was entitled to every right Mohammed's biological children were entitled to.

Because of a single woman, Muhammad destroyed the tradition of adoption and its good privileges in the Arab world, just so that Mohammed could take over the wife of Zaid and make it legal.

If you don't see that as evil, then it's okay that means you can also do the same thing: take over the wife of someone who grew up with you and saw you as a father figure and role model.

The same Quran tell us that Mohammed had concealed the thought of marrying Zainab in his heart even before Zaid divorced her.

Muhammad was already coveting Zaid's wife. Muhammad broke the law of the true holy God that said "don't covet your neighbor's wife" instead of Allah to prove to Mohammed that he was a holy god, he proved us wrong by endorsing Mohammed's Zina of the heart and covetousness. Allah is a morally corrupt god.


Allah relegated women into a mere commodity by saying he married Zainab to Muhammad when Zaid was no longer in need of her.


"And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, Keep your wife and fear Allah, while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah accomplished."
(QS. Al-Ahzaab 33: Verse 37)

Moses told the Israelites that another prophet will be raised among them and they must listen to the prophet because God will judge anyone who disobey that prophet! Deuteronomy 18:15-18
God used Moses as a law giver so for Moses to speak of another prophet from among them could only mean that the standard will be upgraded!
When Jesus came he was teaching his listeners how they're going to live in Paradise, Jesus made them understand that if anyone wants to live in Paradise he/she must live in harmony with the standard God set in the garden of Eden:- One Adam ~ One Eve
So it was permitted due to the stiffness of their hearts, if Moses should tell those stubborn people that they can't marry another woman if their former wife is still alive, surely she will die from their scheme! wink

Why did Allah support immoralities and allow Zaid with one wife to be humiliated by Muhammad with many wives. Muhammad took the wife of Zaid his adopted son, a boy that by Arab tradition was supposed to be his heir, a boy that was legally referred to as "the son of Muhammad", a boy that grew up to see Muhammad as a father figure

Antichristian,
Again take to heart this your Koran verse:
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL:
And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus We have made pleasing to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they used to do.
Koran 6:109
Or do you choose to disobey the Koran?
Re: Why Did Yahweh Support Polygamy? by Image123(m): 1:03am On Sep 04, 2020
No Bible verse says that God supported polygamy. He condoned it. From the beginning, it was not so.
