Romans 4:3
What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." |
Oh yes, of course, of course, "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" All need to repent of their sins and accept the atonement of Christ in order to be forgiven of their sins. Even the people of Ninevah escaped destruction because they repented of their sins.
But Abraham was never warned to stop practicing polygamy or be destroyed, he was not even instructed to stop practicing prolygamy, nor was he instructed to teach his children not to practice polygamy. Why? Because polygamy was not probihited by the law of the land, nor by the Lord; it wasn't a sin.
