Interesting omission.

So as you and gramps have said that in the Old Testament The Lord allowed polygamy, and at the beginning of this dispensation The Lord allowed it as to raise up seed unto him. So we need to remember if The Lord commands in then we obey. But now The Lord has said not to have polygamy so now it is an abomination before him.
