proves nothing except that you are willing to believe naught but your own propaganda.

So when you can't argue against the fact that your god turned David into Hugh Hefner, it's "propaganda"?

I have successfully demonstrated what Gods original standard was. Whether you accept it or not is not my affair. I have no issues and there are no fences facing me.

I'm not disputing what God's "original standard" was. The point is that God clearly didn't care much about this standard since he gave David multiple wives, despite there being no record of David asking for this.

Again i have successfully proven that the Kings of Israel were warned not to procure many wives for themselves, your opinions to the contrary are meaningless. There was a valid reason why Sauls concubines were handed on to David, a reason you seem oblivious to. Ironic considering your pretensions of Biblical knowledge, don't you think?

And I've successfully proven that this is a warning your god wasn't serious about.

You blame God for David's failure ?

Don't you think that if the Bible writers were boasting of their national king hero David they would have concealed embarrassing information instead of record it in all candor ?

David's failure was not the fault of God as if God "turned him into Hugh Hefner".

David failure is followed by a wonderful story of forgiveness .. YET a forgiveness with a certain amount of discipline. And the fact that his failure is recorded in the Word of God suggests not false propaganda but candid and frank truth.

Only Moslems argue that a prophet of a godly person in the Bible could not have any faults.

Nonsense you have proven that you don't know why God passed on Saul's concubines to David, you simply made it up that he doesn't care.

What are you talking about? I'm not talking about "David's failure". I'm talking about the fact that God gave David a harem, contrary to the popular Christian belief that marriage should be between one man and one woman.

So then YOU tell me. If monogamy is important to God, why then would he give David multiple wives?

That's my point in asking. You don't have an answer. You're left with either putting up a childish front that pretends biblical marriage was some special, romantic thing, or deal with the reality, that yes, your god gave people he liked multiple wives as gifts.

"You blame God for David's failure ? "
no, but i blame that "god" for murdering david's son.

" David failure is followed by a wonderful story of forgiveness "
but before that, a little wonderful story of murdering an innocent.
