Bible Discussion Thread

We as Christians are quick to place our own interpenetration on the scriptures when the scriptures give their own interpenetration. Here they are talking about a man taking a second wife as did many of the patriots. We want to say that this command given by God is a sin. But God can not sin and would never instruct any of his believers to sin. So the question is, did God make provisions for a man to take a second wife. If not then why would He give this command to Moses Exodus 21; Why would He chose the 12 Tribes from a man with two wives, why would He call David who had 14 wives a man after his own heart. In no place did God say these men sinned. It doesn't matter if it is a slave with conjugal rights as with Hagar, or a free woman taken as a second wife . Their rights are not to be taken away as far as marriage, theirs, nor the first wife. This was a command given by God, and we as self righteous Christian say it is a sin for a man a second wife, are now proclaiming that we know more than the Creator. What are we going to do next star taking the Ten Commandments a part and changing it around to suite us.
