Polygamy for the Children of Israel would generally only work if the supporting characters were under hypnosis.
We have record of all type of activities in scripture that were not clearly shunned until Jesus Christ reminded man of the original design for the twin flame union. Testimony of truth is not synonymous with instructions for an individual’s life.
“The sin of Jacob, and the train of events to which it led, had not failed to exert an influence for evil—an influence that revealed its bitter fruit in the character and life of his sons. As these sons arrived at manhood they developed serious faults. The results of polygamy were manifest in the household.
This terrible evil tends to dry up the very springs of love, and its influence weakens the most sacred ties. The jealousy of the several mothers had embittered the family relation, the children had grown up contentious and impatient of control, and the father's life was darkened with anxiety and grief.” PP 208.3
“You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial.”
1 Corinthians 10:23
