Shameless diversion aside, I agree. Let’s get back to biblical principles. How many wives and concubines did Soloman have again?

This is very OT (excuse the pun); for a NT ref see Matthew 25:1-12: “...the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom....” ;)

Why don’t you leave the exogesis of the Bible to those who know what they are talking about (as you obviously don’t).

If you’d read the header & not snipped quite so much text, you’d see I was talking about polygyny in NT “biblical times”; what are you talking about?

The “ten virgins” are bridesmaids for the bride, not whatever you seemed to be implying (polygyny). Or were you just making some throw-away joke?
