[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Oh, and about Deut 17:17 That prohibition applied to Israel's Kings--not rank-and-file men.

LOL, really? You just condemned your polygamous role models. You have an interesting way of twisting Scripture to suit your theological needs.

[Auntie Dem]

Abraham, Jacob and Moses were not Kings. David and Solomon were Kings. God did not disapprove of their multiple wives until they had committed other sins, in fact it was part of David's punishment that he would lose his wives. It seems you are the one doing all the twisting. Read chapter 17 closer and you will see it is talking about the Kings, not all men.
