I've always found it interesting that David took more concubines and more wives and more sons and daughters were born to David. Jacob married two sisters, Leah and Rachel. I find it interesting also that the Bible treats slavery, genocide and the oppression of women as acceptable behavior.


>>>As above, if you read the whole Bible and compare that passage with others, you can discern God's plan for the family. He started with one man and one woman.

>>But nowhere does god decree that marriage must be 1 man and 1 woman and that it can't be same sex.
>>

>Neither does He say that 1 man can't marry 1 horse - or - 1 man can't marry 1 rock - both of those are things that don't need to be said. Same thing with same-sex marriage.

>>> There were cases where men had more than one wife - that was socially accepted and something that occurred.
>>
>>Wo why don't conservative Christian's apply this to same sex marriage then?
>>
>
>I didn't say it was approved by God - I said is was socially acceptable. Neither (same sex marriage or polygamy) are approved of in scripture.
>
>>> Just because the Bible mentions that as a possibility does not mean it approves of the practice.
>>
>>That pretty disqualifies all of the interpretation that you mentioned that you are using then.

>I don't understand your argument. Can you elaborate?
