Interestingly, Homosexuality was called SIN before the LAW was given.

I believe it was defined an "abomination in God's eyes" but that might as well make it a sin.

Thanks for your inputs on the topics - it looks like Solomon's many wives, who led him astray, and other references made polygamy to be more a distraction and a folly rather than an actual sin. Homosexuality was always condemned.

I've always been taught that when God tells a person something; it's kinda like a COMMAND. If you do not follow His 'advice' that is sin.

1. the king “shall not multiply horses to himself… Neither shall he multiply wives...

2. the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them

(I'd think the king would be one of the 'Israelites'.)
