I remember my friend's sister who keeps arguing in support of polygamy because she's a Muslim but when her husband got another lady pregnant she wanted him dead so i asked my friend her brother who is a JW:

"But your sister has always been in support of polygamy, what is wrong this time?"

He said she was just been defensive since he is the only member of their family that left the religion for JW and all of them wanted him to break his integrity by marrying another woman as his wife supported his decision to become a JW though they were doing all that just to get back at her because they promised her a lot if she kick against his move after all JWs won't baptize him without having a wedding certificate so they promised her a lot if she insist that she won't follow him to any marriage registry. But his wife told her mother who almost cursed her that it's going to be in her own interest since as a JWs with the marriage registry his won't have the privilege of marrying another woman!
So she complied but now the same woman who always speak in support of polygamy wants her husband dead for doing what she said is halal (approved by God)

AntiChristian:
This is normal emotion. Ladies tend to let their emotions get over their heads! It's scattered in your Bible with its strife. And monogamous wives too were devils e.g. Lot's wife. So it's not actually about Polygamy!

MaxInDHouse:
Polygamy was permitted in the law God gave Moses not in Christianity, Jesus explained that God allowed men to leave their wives because if it's only when the woman dies that the husband can have another woman surely they will kill most of their wives claiming she dead naturally.

AntiChristian:
Where did Jehovah gave Jesus Christianity as a religion in the Bible?

AntiChristian:
And is it that Jehovah has multiple syllabi for different nations such that he permitted polygamy before and later forbid it?

Job said:

“I have made a covenant with my eyes. So how could I show improper attention to a virgin? Job 31:1

"If my heart has been enticed by a woman And I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door, Then let my wife grind grain for another man, And let other men have sexual relations with her" Job 31:9-10

Jesus said:

"But I say to you that everyone who keeps on looking at a man/woman so as to have a passion for him/her has already committed adultery with him/her in his/her heart." Matthew 5:28

Is it possible to be a polygamist without first being adulterous?

tctrills:
So let's be honest here. Gods children do not make laws for him. He gives us his laws and we obey.

No verse in the bible, old or new condemn polygamy. For all the wives David had, not was considered a sin unto God except for the one the took from another man.

Please let's not depend on guesswork to determine what pleases God. Let us learn to live by revelation.

MaxInDHouse:
No verse condemns either polygamy or polyandry so both genders can marry multiple partners a man or woman is financially capable let them marry as many partners as they want!

tctrills:
So your point is that you decide for God what is sin right?
For me, I allow God decide what is sin, you see the difference?
I can also make the stretch that monogamy is sin using your logic of deciding whatever you wish as sin. But rather, I stick to the revelations.
Let me add
2. Romans 7:2–3 –
"For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth... So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress..."

Apart from Deuteronomy 17:17 and the fact that after that Law you cannot see an Isrealite with 2 wives again, the next question is how can a married man marry a second wife without committing adultery?
Especially as you remember the crime of adultery starts from the eyes and heart, so how can a married man do polygamy without breaking the Law?

MaxInDHouse:
You're so restless that you can't even see sarcasm.
I'm against polygamy but if anyone said i should quote a law word for word that says polygamy is a sin then let them quote a law word for word that says polyandry is sin!

Dtruthspeaker:
You obviously have not read Deuteronomy 17:17/Ezra 10:3 and the fact that after that Law you cannot see an Isrealite with 2 wives again, the next question is how can a married man marry a second wife without committing adultery?

Then if you say that this was the only sin David committed then why did he not fornicate/adulteryrate with the very clean and beautiful virgin who even loved him that was given to him by his servants (as they usually do) to warm and comfort him?

Even here on earth we do not consider a man with 2 or more wives to be a holy person how much more God Who commanded that we should be holy.

Anyone who still subscribes to polygamy is not one who knows God nor fear Him.

MaxInDHouse:
There is no law forbidden both so i'm not against either side!

tctrills:
Did you avoid the verse I quoted? In case you did, please read this in your JW bible to see if it says something different.
Romans 7:2–3 –
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth... So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress...

MaxInDHouse:
No law forbids both from marrying more partners Christianity is speaking to both genders!

tctrills:
If you don't believe the bible, I don't know what to tell you. It says clearly that a married woman can't marry another man except her husband is dead. It says the same thing in you JW bible. I just read it. So do we believe you or do we believe Paul the Apostle?

tctrills:
Please sir quote Deuteronomy 17:17/Ezra 10:3
For everyone to read because none of these verses are saying what you are saying.
Again, I consider Abraham to be holy, he had 4 wives.

Dtruthspeaker:
The proper thing is for you to quote them then point out your disagreement while I rebut.

However in this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/8032594/deuteronomy-17-17-shows-god#128966884 I am sure someone in there said what you were going to say and I replied them all, so read and revert and see if you whatever you want to say is different from theirs.

And you can consider holy Abraham, David or even tuface in your Kingdom however in God's View, He did not judge them Holy. None of the people you want to hold on to scored that goal, only 3 men got that score to wit- Noah, job and Daniel.

Of which did you see that after Abraham had taken those women, he woke up one day and sent them away?

tctrills:
If you have nothing to quote, it's to end the debate. I don't like people saying things they can't defend.

God promised that n Paradise there will be no pain nor tears because the people living there will be pardoned for their errors.
No woman is pleased to share her man therefore a true Christian shouldn't have any feelings or sexually attracted to any other woman while his wife is still alive! Matthew 5:28
But if anyone feels it's not written in God's word for a man not to marry more than one wife then let the golden rule take effect! Matthew 7:12

MrPresident1:
Show us an example of your twisted and inverted golden rule in the Bible, where it is written that one woman married 2 or more men at the same time. We promise we will show you where God promised to marry more women for one specific man if the ones he already has are not enough.

MaxInDHouse:
God never promised anything against His will what He created in the beginning is One Adam and One Eve!

MrPresident1:
A man is the one that is arguing against polygamy.
