Did The Bible Abolish Polygamy And Divorce? by dalitigator(m): 12:52pm On Jan 07
The Bible contains varying perspectives on polygamy and divorce. In the Old Testament, polygamy was practised by several prominent figures such as Abraham, Jacob, David, and Solomon. However, it's important to note that the Bible does not explicitly condemn polygamy. Instead, it presents instances where it causes problems within families, such as jealousy and rivalry among wives.

Jesus spoke about divorce in the New Testament, emphasizing the importance of marriage and its intended permanence. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus teaches that divorce was permitted in the Old Testament due to people's hardness of heart but states that it was not part of the original plan for marriage. Thus, there was no clear-cut on whether or not divorce and polygamy were abolished.

Different Christian denominations interpret these teachings differently, with some allowing divorce in certain circumstances while others hold more conservative views about its permissibility. What is your take?

Did the Bible suggest any where that every man and woman on earth must live according to Mandates given by God to those who are only of the Blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? If you are not of the lineage indicated, why pretend at all to care what Scripture has to say about how they are to live? undecided
