[QUOTE="Gregory Thompson, post: 75322154, member: 254721"] I get the sense that "the one wife paradigm" resulted from people reading the spiritual adultery texts in the prophecies. logic like "God had only one wife, so you can only have one wife. and "Christ only has one bride, the church, so only you can have one wife." Most of the texts that illustrate having more than wife is spoken against in the next generation. the logic then would follow: God has a standard, but lets people do what seems to be right to them. In the example of Leviticus 18:18, this is speaking against when it was actually done. This illustrates questions of examples of the patriarchs came up already, and the law was written to explain - this is not the way God wants us to do things. This is a strange book in that it shows people's flaws, then later comments on what the recommended course of action is. In the law it also told the kings (in advance) exactly how to not act, but they did it anyway. Coming back to the question "why just one" based on the New Testament passages, it seems to be for prophetic demonstration as a testimony. [/QUOTE]
