YES!
Just as Allah ALLOWED his worshipers to drink alcoholic beverages until they abused it and then made it haram for them.
JEHOVAH allowed people to experience the evil consequences of polygamy since they don't know why He created just one woman for one man and vice versa!

Marrying another wife may seem OK to you but no child will be happy if his or her father decides to marry a second (younger) wife. No father will be happy if his son in-law decides to marry another wife with his daughter. No woman will be happy if her husband decides to take in another wife. No man will be happy if his brother in-law decides to marry another woman along with his sister.

So in Paradise where God promised that there won't be any reason to be sad polygamy can't work.

In this system of things people grow old, get sick and die that's why those in Bible times had two or more wives but in the coming system we will live forever as youths in fact no one will like to bear children like people does today because the couple will love to enjoy themselves for thousands of years before thinking of having a child after all they will continue to be strong and agile always so they don't need a child for any reason whatsoever but since God wants them to increase they will have one or two.

Now imagine two lovebirds enjoying the cool breeze on the beach, how do you expect such atmosphere to be if the lady has someone to share her man with her?

Well KNOWLEDGE is the accumulation of useful information but WISDOM is the practical application of accumulated info for lasting benefits.
That's the difference between Jehovah the Bible God and your Quran Allah! smiley

Your premise is faulty! You can quote verses where Allah permitted alcohol in the Qur'an and where it was later forbidden by Allah himself.

You can similar quote where your Jehovah permitted polygamy many times in the Bible but never for once can you see anywhere Jehovah himself forbid polygamy!

Did Allah sent a message through your prophet that alcohol will no longer be permitted by adherents of Islam?

How many wives did Jehovah gave Adam the model man? smiley

Guy, this is not just about sticking to an old tradition rather it's what will promote peace, harmony and lots of benefits among worshipers so asking for what to read when you are seeing the truth face to face makes your god false because if what you are reading is not beneficial then your god is worthless!

Principle is what we need to understand not just written code that's not beneficial! smiley

Allah did send a revelation that forbid alcohol in the Qur'an.
Of course Allah created only Adam. And from him he created his wife. And from them both all men exist. Same God in your Bible that gave Adam one wife gave others more wives!

I thought they say God of the Bible Jehovah is not the author of confusion!

Why would He give laws for what He hates?

Confusion is when people choose to do things their own way when they have not learned from experience what is evil in such actions.
So God decided to allow them learn and today i'm sure that you too will never ever agree that your dad should marry a younger woman after your mum have suffered to build a business empire with him something that supposed to be your inheritance! smiley

Cannot be the same God, given that the outcomes are completely different even in that one story. There are so many similar creation stories, and pretty much all of them diverge right at the very beginning. How can you then conclude that they are all one and the same? That is wholly illogical! undecided

My dad's things belongs to him and my mum's belongs to her alone.
Even in a family business, the ownership will be clearly stated!

Just as my mum has a stake in the business, the incoming younger wife too would have a stake.
Yes, my mum suffered... but didn't she also enjoy the fruits of her labor?

The incoming wife can never enjoy as much as she had!

What are the criterias you are looking at?

In terms of properties acquired the first wife has enjoyed more!

In terms of days of Joy and pain with the husband the first holds sway!

In terms of recognision with the husband the first holds sway!

In terms of having say in some affairs in the family the first holds sway!

So tell me what criteria you are using to Judge?

There's no competition. A woman of 65 is past menopausal age and has lived well already. At 65 she's already fulfilled. And if she had been cool with the husband for about three decades I don't think any woman would take the heart of her husband.

Usually older women cooks better!
Usually older women takes care of the family better!
Older women are better planners,more resilient and enduring!

Even at that at 65, she already has some grown ups of her own! She may even be unavailable touring the world taking care of her grandchildren!

There is no way an old woman can stand the way of a younger woman when they are both married to the same man.
David mentioned in the Bible had many wives but how many were RECOGNIZED by the writer?
Even the first wife was not mentioned like Abigail and Bathsheba the wives he took from other men.
Note that Jesus said looking lustfully at a woman is adultery {Matthew 5:28; Job 31:1,9,10} if a man doesn't look lustfully at another woman while still married how can he marry another wife? smiley

And why are you basing your argument on a old and young wife? Must the first be old before marrying another?

No one cares what the Bible writer recognises. Even Joseph may have had a marriage before Mary but not many knows that details. The Bible writters are always biased to whatever opinion they want to portray!

So do you mean David comitted adultery with the many wives he married yet Jehovah said he was perfect in 1 Kings 15:5?

Was Jehovah mistaken about David's perfection?

You seem to love polygamy. Wished you married a woman like me and let's see how you ll Mary another woman without my consent.
Now to the topic: Bible didn't say polygamy is bad. Many Christians do polygamy. But if you have deep reasoning, you ll know that you can't satisfy all the wives.
Also what shall it profit you to not be buoyant and have more than one wife?
That's a crime.

Not all Men marry? My point is about the Leftover Women that want to marry and the available men that want to marry.

By your logic, (not all Men marry) what do you do with the excess of available Women?

Leave them as Baby Mamas, Aholah and Aholibah?

Polygamy is God's way of balancing what men will become thru his handiwork and thought.

God gave Laws guiding Polygamy if you have to.

True with Polygamy many are still unmarried but think for a moment what there situation could be if they don't find Polygamy unwholesome?

Sarah in the Bible asked his husband to marry Haggai. In fact, she was the one that suggested it and she was the one that gave Abraham Haggai to be his wife!

And God gave Injunction to guide such Union.

Polygamy is God's way of balancing what men will become thru his handiwork and thought.[/quote]God knows why He left them but easiest one I see, (abeg no vex for wetin I won talk) is that 95% of those whether men or women who are not married, are under a Punishment.

Because God bless us to be fruitful and to multiply but we all see and know the reason why some people are not married and how we have of course judged that some people should not be married and we are all shocked and angry if we won talk true, when they marry.

And if you want to say the Truth, you will remember that when you genuinely wanted a girl, it was not your plan to marry another girl and neither did you tell her that you were going to do so. With reservation to you Muslims all of all told the girl we dearly loved to the point of marriage that "she was the sugar in my tea". None of told her that "she was going to be one of the sugars in our tea".

That clearly shows what God had purposed for us to do.

But because of Cain's grandson, Lamech wanted to be like his grandfather and do something that would annoy God is why this tradition started. Though I now know even if it was not Lamech , one child of disobedience must break it just as one gay per /sin most break the law of yans.. penitry

[quote author==Lukuluku69 post=136154168]God gave Laws guiding Polygamy if you have to.[/quote]No where did God do that which is why you did not cite it.

But rather we all see that He crushed it by giving Laws which destroyed it which is why even before the new testament you do not see Isreal men with even 2 wives.

If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
Deuteronomy 21 : 15

Jacob had 2 Wives, 2 Concubines (between them they bore him 13/14 kids) considered legitimate in your Faith.

Moses had Two (2). He spoke to/with God in your Faith.

David had how many again? Even before Bathsheba?

Solomon had how many again?

I have been reading your Bible for Decades, and I have not come across a single verse where Jehovah Condemned their taking another wife.

Up there you have a Verse from Jehovah, delivered to Moses on how to treat your wives in case you took another.

[15] If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated: [16] Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn: [17] But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.
Deuteronomy 21 : 15-17

"If" simply means it is Permissible, it means you can do it.

If I say "if I die tomorrow, of course I can die tomorrow!

There you have the Verses from your Bible, it is up to you to either believe it or follow the usually 11th Commandment, which doing as you wish after reading the Scriptures and seeing clear instructions to follow.

You said no Jewish man took another wife yet I showed you Jacob, Moses, David and Solomon are they Amalekites or Medianites or Persians?
