>>>Exodus 21:10, "If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights."
>>>In 2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3, King David had six wives and numerous concubines.
>>>In 1 Kings 11:3, King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.
>>>In 2 Chronicles 11:21, King Solomon's son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines.

>>>Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)"

>>>So it seems to me that the New Testament agrees with the Old testamente, where examples of polygamy abound.
>>
>>Again, you only provide examples where polygamy was practiced. I can give you examples of Godly men who are noted in the Bible as having lied, murdered, committed adultery and other things that scripture would not condone. These are usually given to us to show the negative consequences of doing such things. I see nothing is your "proof" above that show that God's way for marriage is for one man to have many wives - or - that God approves of such arrangements.

>If the Bible is the word of God, and he talks freely about many cases of noted people practising polygamy without specifically sayings it is wrong or better yet, punishing them like he mercilessly and ruthly does with some others, then it follows that it is condoned, does it not?

The Bible IS the word of God. There are many cases where sins of people are talked about - but no mention of consequences is given (Rahab lied to protect the spies, Noah is drunk in Gen 9 - both lying and drunkeness are mentioned as sins.) This does not mean that the actions are condoned.
