The issue here is divorce and then getting married to another woman, this has nothing to do with polygamy.

I believe there is insufficient evidence in the Bible to condemn polygamy. It is those who do not want to see it so as to defend their own purpose and wrong conclusions.

Of course, there are many abolished practices, however, I don't see where the Bible explicitly says polygamy is one of those practices.

I don't see that having a girlfriend would necessitate bigamy.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. For the record, I'm not suggesting that just because Luther said something makes it okay. I used that quote to emphasize the legitimacy of the position that the polygamy may not necessarily be a sin. Protestants sometimes tend not to value a position...

Where may I ask?

I'm confused by your argument, so when can I use the practices outlined in the OT as evidence for a position?

It doesn't change the fact it is a poor argument. Things changed after the fall which allowed for certain things to be permissible. Do you also think I should work towards being naked since God intended us to be that way? It seems Christians only apply this argument when it's convenient for...

Touche! lol

lol This would literally be a nightmare of a situation for more conservatively minded Christians. :D

I don't know if I agree with this position, I'll think on it more. I think the issue is that you're presupposing certain things about God's will (which will open a new can of worms outside the scope of this thread). Can you please elaborate on what you mean by "adultery of the heart"...

No that doesn't logically follow. The issue is over the divorce, and the remarriage. Not simply multiple marriages. Again, this would be a separate topic.

This is generally is a very poor argument. You could also make the argument that God intended us to be vegans, and to eat meat is a perversion of His original design. I've talked about why this is an irrelevant argument here: The "Original Design / Plan" Argument & Why It's Irrelevant Not proof...

No disagreement from me.

That's not proof against polygamy, it's a false analogy.
