How do we make sense of the Torah’s polygamy regulations in light of the Bible’s overall condemnation of this practice? https://davidwilber.com/articl....es/understanding-the
I gotta take a moment to celebrate and commemorate this day. This is the first time I've ever read my bible for 365 days in a row. I've gotten close before, but life has always somehow got in the way a day or two.
But the best thing about 2020 is that it slowed my life down, and made me focus a lot more of my heart and energy towards God's word in a way that I haven't felt since I first became a believer many years ago.
Some of the topics covered are:
• Love never fails…to do what? 2:21
• Words are just words… 20:26
• Dressing for decency… 32:30
• Struggling to show praise… 45:45
• Reckoning the evil… 1h06:38
… and much more!

Afterburn: also known in the world of fitness as the “afterburn effect”, simply put; The more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward.
The same could be true as you build up your spiritual self. After an intense teaching session, you need answers as more thoughts and questions consume you in your spiritual growth.
Rabbi Steve Berkson, director of MTOI, provides an opportunity for the Afterburn to take place by additional thoughts and insight about what he just taught as well as answering questions from the local congregation and those watching the live stream.

God expresses His will to us through His Word. Do we truly believe that? Because to say, "This commandment is irrelevant," is to say, "God's will for my life in this area isn't important to me." God is the one who makes the rules, not us. And if we desire to follow Him, that includes following His rules. As R.C. Sproul once put it, "When there's something in the Word of God that I don't like, the problem is not with the Word of God, it's with me."

The penalty for breaking Lev 18:18 is to be executed or removed from Israel (see verse 29). This would mean that there are no polygamous men within Israel under Moses. Yet Moses still wrote about how to deal with children of multiple wives.
The counter argument based off the "price of a harlot" does not seem to be a fair one even though harlotry is also worthy of death, because the price paid for the harlot (e.g. a kid of the flock) would still be around even after the harlot was killed. That animal could not be brought to the tabernacle, so the existence of this statute in not negated because harlots are put to death.
On the other hand, those who break Lev 18:18 would have been purged from Israel under Moses, meaning that the "who can I make the heir" question in Deuteronomy 21:15-17 could never be encountered. It seems like taking Lev 18:18 to be a prohibition of polygamy invalidates other parts of the law.
(Plus Moses should have executed or expelled Caleb from Israel as he had multiple concubines, but he did not. Makes it seem like Moses interpreted this verse differently than you do.)
