Old Testament Law

[Anonymous No.14993461]

Why did he tell David, Abraham and Solomon that they could have multiple wives in the Old Testament but later change his mind and say that marriage is a mystical sacrament with only one man and one woman?

Wanted them to enjoy women while they were young.

Please keep it without the blasphemy. It's a serious question.

1610 Moral conscience concerning the unity and indissolubility of marriage developed under the pedagogy of the old law. In the Old Testament the polygamy of patriarchs and kings is not yet explicitly rejected. Nevertheless, the law given to Moses aims at protecting the wife from arbitrary domination by the husband, even though according to the Lord's words it still carries traces of man's "hardness of heart" which was the reason Moses permitted men to divorce their wives.

A better question would be why does God currently allow marriage since Jesus didn't get married and we're called to imitate Jesus?

It was a nice social idea. Incels (not in the modern meme sense but on the idea of mans that can't find a partner to reproduce) have existed all through the ages, and without a hard limit on the number of wifes, you would have them revolt each couple of years following the biological stimulus of "reproduce or die".

The Muslim solution of 4 wives total creates just enough incels to go die invading foreign lands in hope of brides. Genius

Unironically yes, not that Christians didn't have a similar idea before them

man I read most of the OT as an 11 yo kid and thought this was really unfair. mostly just wanted a bunch of concubines not so much wives

[Anonymous No.14993581]

It's really overrated. Solomon had the most wives of pretty much anyone and he also ended up miserable because of it.

Ecclesiastes 7:28
I found one man in a thousand that I could respect, but not one woman.

Because Christianity was influenced by Greek and Roman society.

Polygamy is technically allowed but not in large amounts. In Deuteronomy 17 the laws for a king are that he not multiply horses, gold, or wives to himself. A king would have a very unfair advantage in attaining all three of those.

The New Testament says that a priest should be married to only one wife and be no brawler, etc. This was technically for the priesthood which would have been told to follow Levitical law as well, back when God cared for them

since their god is free foremost, and morality is created, he is free to whatever he wish with it, good is not absolute in Christianity; ergo: morality is whatever their god decides it is

Because the Old Testament is the demiurge larping as God without any understanding of what's holy and what isn't.

The old and new testimates were all translated from wither Hebrew or Latin, so maybe something was misinterpreted. It's also quite possible that someone changed it because they didn't want polygamy to be allowed or something. We'll never know exactly what he said, but we can do our best

He doesn't. See Luke: 20:34-36

>Jesus said to them, “Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

Celibacy (like the angels/Jesus) is a requirement for salvation.

No, Christ is a higher Aeon sent to guide us back to the fullness of God.

Please understand that the biblical canon was selected by man. The Apocryphon of John clearly states that the One and the demiurge are NOT the same. If this book was included in the canon, you would need to "find a way to shoehorn" any statements that seem to imply the equivalence of these entities, because Christ is very explicit on the matter in the book. The reason the Apocryphon of John isn't included in the Bible is the actions of men two millennia ago, applying the type of reasoning you decry here.
