2- Polygamy


Do not object on the multiple wives of our prophet muhammad (peace be upon him ) because according to your Bible that you believes in it "Solomon the Wise" who is a prophet and a writer of some sanitation of the bible had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines



Kings 1: 11) New International Version)

You are again harking back to the Old Testament for your examples. This is because it is clear in the New Testament, which is Gods new covenant with mankind that polygamy is against what God ordained. Polygamy in the Bible was never allowed by Gods law but rather an action of men going against Gods law...for their own purposes. It is shown in the Bible as a lesson how not to behave as such as Lamech, David, Solomon and others who were polygamous their lives did not turn out well, it is said that Solomons heart was hardened against God by his polygamous actions.

The clearest verse comes from Jesus in His teaching regarding plural marriage must be Matthew 19 8-9 which is on divorce

Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." (Matt 19.8-9)

The key thing to note here is that this argument fails if polygamy is acceptable. Jesus' point is that improper divorce does not nullify a marriage, and if the first marriage still stands, then a "second" marriage is adultery--and NOT simply 'polygamy'! This is very clear.

So you should not seek to justify polygamy in the Quran by passages from the Bible. The Old Testament practices you use in your justifications were already superseded by the teachings of Christ. Polygamy is not a decree from God..or ever has been. But a practice of men born from circumstances, traditions, tribal allegiances and mans lusts.

Pandor. Are you not believe in the Old Testament

The Old Testament is what it is, a record of mankind's growth and enlightenment towards God and his plan for us. Gods plan for the salvation of mankind did not happen overnight it was a gradual process. It is also an historical record of the times. It contains the foundation of the Christian faith and we are to learn from the lessons of examples given of the Biblical Patriarchs of that time. You may see your Quran as an instruction manual to be followed verbatim, but then it was formed in a very short period of time 22 years as opposed to a period of 1500 years it took to formulate the Bible. The two are not really comparable in many ways.

The New Testament was the culmination of Gods work. :)

and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.(82)

It is better to speak the truth than it is to remain silent and be cursed.
