God Said "If He Marries another Woman..." Polygamy 101 by AntiChristian(op):
If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.
Exodus 21:10

Yahweh makes laws protecting the First wife & previous wives here.
Note that this verse comes only 22 verses AFTER the 7th Commandment ("Thou shalt not commit adultery"wink in Exodus 20:14.

Moses wrote all these yet he still married two wives.

And Moses had a high holy Spirit level in Numbers 11:25

How come polygamy is forbidden when God said this?

You don't just read the Bible you need to study it.

How many wives did God create for the model man?
Do you think any man has the strength to satisfy a woman sexually like Adam?
Do you think any man is intelligent to care for a woman like Adam?
Do you think any man is as rich as Adam?
So if Adam has everything no other man has yet God gave Adam just one wife do you think having more than one wife is ideal for imperfect men who has nothing when compared to Adam?

Well God should have ended Adam, Eve and Satan immediately after their evil act but He permitted them and their descendants for thousands of years so we can all learn through our actions and inactions.

From what we all know no woman can be happy to share her man with another woman just as no man can be happy to share his wife with another man.

Therefore whatever you want men to do to you please do the same to them that's what the Bible and all the prophets in it is all about! Matthew 7:12

Tell me which any time GOD reproved any of those in the Bible for marrying more than one wife, or call it adultery on them.

GOD spoke openly to David after he took Bathsheba that if he had wanted more, He (GOD) would have given him more instead of him taking what belongs to another man.

So, your opinion is very much useless here my friend.

If GOD does not condemn it, who are you?

[/size]
Again, why this particular obsession you have with whether the YHWH of the Israelites allowed Polygamy in the nation of Israel, which He created in the land of Canaan— a nation which He later destroyed or should I say, exiled the people from? Is this an attempt to sort of posit that because polygamy was allowed in Israel, therefore YHWH has of the Israelites must be the Allah of the Muslims or something? huh

In all Religions, the rules of the associated deity have always been according to the whims of men of the particular religion/sect. That has always been so since the beginning, and is the very reason why Christianity alone boasts of over 46,000 different interpretations/denominations. You seriously think your religious denomination is different from his in this? sad

And who are you too to ask me something unreasonable when you know you have nothing reasonable to say? undecided

Show me where GOD in the Bible say, "Thou shalt not marry two wives. Or if thou marrieth two wives, thou shalt send away thine second wife for it is adultery before me."

Go on, show me.

This here is the meaning of unreasonable.🥱🥱🥱

YHWH of the Bible people proclaimed that the context of His Law is His people, the descendants of Jacob. But you completely disregard that fact altogether, as you posit a completely different context of your whim. So, tell me, how are you any different from the other in asserting your own will as the will of this God you speak of? 🥱🥱🥱

My own God condemned polygamy that is why i quoted His son:

“All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must do to them. This, in fact, is what the Law and the Prophets mean" Matthew 7:12

If i don't want any rival, don't want for my mum, don't want for my sister, don't want for my daughter then i must not think of raising a rival to another person's daughter, sister and mother.

It's as simple as that! smiley

And how did what you quote rhyme with what you claimed?
You think this is how the world works?
Your sister? Mum? Daughter?

Why not say about the real deal that your sister, mom, daughter should get stoned to death if they ever get deflowered in fornication before getting married? Now that is the real law and prophets, not about a man having more than one wife. You need Biblical passages that supports this? Let me know.

I won't be as hypocritical as you are.

But you are being exactly that, hypocritical. You had earlier insisted that a particular idea was not one of the codes set forth by the YHWH of the Bible people. However, you push back on what you suppose is one of the codes set forth by the YHWH of the same Bible, suggesting it should be disregarded. 😂😂😂😂😂

Anyways, the YHWH of the Bible people did not demand that women be stoned to death if they were deflowered before marriage. Rather, He gave legal codes designed to discourage virginity scams in the land with a penalty of death for those who were caught in such a scam.
13 “A man might marry a woman and have sexual relations with her. Then he might decide that he does not like her.
14 He might accuse her of doing wrong and say, ‘I married this woman, but when we had sexual relations, I found she was not a virgin.’ By saying this against her, people might think bad things about her.
15 If this happens, the girl’s father and mother must bring the proof that the girl was a virgin to the town elders at the meeting place of the town.
16 The girl’s father must say to the leaders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife, but now he does not want her.
17 This man accused my daughter of doing wrong and said, “I did not find the proof that your daughter is a virgin.” But here is the proof that my daughter was a virgin.’ Then they should show the cloth to the town leaders.
18 Then the leaders of that town must take that man and punish him.
19 They must fine him 40 ounces of silver. They will give the money to the girl’s father because her husband brought shame to an Israelite girl. And the girl will continue to be the man’s wife. He cannot divorce her for the rest of his life.
[b]20
“But what the husband said about his wife might be true. The wife’s parents might not have the proof that she was a virgin. If this happens,
21 the town leaders must bring the girl to the door of her father’s house. Then the men of the town must kill her with stones, because she has done a shameful thing in Israel. She has acted like a prostitute in her father’s house. You must remove this evil from your group. -Deuteronomy 22 vs 13 - 21
Understand that the Law required that Levite priests only— this stipulation did not apply to any other people or group in the land— were required to marry only virgins. A sentence of death to all who would think to ignore this awaited both the Priests who would think to do otherwise and the women who would think they could scam their way into becoming wives of priests in the land. There are codes in the Law of Moses requiring that all women and/or all men must remain virgins or should not engage in fornication until marriage. undecided

The myth that non-virgins had to be stoned was concocted by the religious community, Christianity in particular. I undecided

You see?
I know you will still push trash as usual.

Deuteronomy 22 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²⁰ But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
²¹ Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the LovePeddler in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

You quoted this, and then twisted it that it is only for the Levites!
How profane is your explanation!

“If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,”
— Deuteronomy 22:13 (KJV)

When did the "Levites" only become "Any man"? 🤨
Do you think you can twist the Bible for me? 😕

GOD'S standard is that you keep yourself intact for your husband. Not to play the wh*ore among the people because GOD knows what is prone to happen!

Stop glorifying immorality! And saying GOD likes it like that.
Do you think I'm programmable as they do to you in your denomination?

If you like, report my comment again so that I can be handed another ban and this too be deleted while yours remain kept.

2. Stating that the YHWH of Israel, a God you pretend you follow, never condemned fornication in His Law of Moses, a known fact, is immoral. However, your suggestion that such a code must be included to satisfy your religious whim isn't? Religious scammers... all of you. 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

The highlighted shows you don't know God's law, it's both male and the female that must be stoned to death for fornication not just the female because she can't commit it alone.

So if my sister or mother or daughter commits fornication let herself and her cohort be judged by God's law.

But for anyone to marry another woman after my sister, mother or daughter i will never welcome because i also can't do it for someone's daughter, sister or mother! smiley

You have said all these before yet they did not stand. They still will not stand today or tomorrow.

Thank God you said the word "IF".

Which clearly means a condition in which an abnormal thing is happening.

Which now indicates that the normal thing is that a person is not supposed to marry another wife.

And secondly, Moses did not have 2 wives nor keep wives as you Muslim polygamists do

He only married 2 times when the first wife divorced herself in the presence of God from him. So Moses got a bill of divorcement what today is called decree of dissolution of marriage.
