Thread already exists and the topic has been rolled-over. We have to assume that God does not hate polygamy because he has never made a law against it. He obviously hates adultery, murder, theft, etc...but don't you think if he "hates polygamy" we would find a law somewhere in the Torah that states "thou shalt take no more than one wife"? You don't want to believe the facts right before your eyes. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it a sin. God has not spoken against polygamy...so you shouldn't either!
I'm just saying if you're going to put up an argument against polygamy, you're not going to do it using the OT. I agree that the Bible says God never changes...and if that is true then he is still not against polygamy. BTW...God DID NOT write the Bible...men did. This is historical fact.

Polygamy existed long after Christ and was never seen as a sin by the early Christians, nor were they taught that it was..only Pastors were limited to one wife in the NT. With David..God said the only sin that mattered was with "Uraih", nothing else.
The issue being swinging doesn't compare with polygamy, concubinage..ect...God allowed these to promote for the care and protection of women and children.
I agree with the premise the law of love is the only command that we follow..which means to do no harm. There are just too many dangers when it comes to swinging that people don't consider that could cause harm.
