No, these scriptures do NOT translate to "wife and whore", "wife and adulteress", or, "wife and abomination" or any such thing in reference to "two wives". The scripture means what it says and says what it means about the institution of marriage, which is "honourable in all": HONORING the marital status of "two wives" biblically, even two wives who are enjoined unto ONE husband. If he called them wives, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken, say ye also of them whom the Father hath SANCTIFIED, "thou blasphemist", because God said that the twain shall be one flesh? How then shall these "two wives", to whom the Word hath recognized as wives, be called "adulteressess" if they are indeed "two wives"?
If we are to read the scripture correctly , we must also read it plainly. Therefore if the scripture says that the condition of ONE FLESH exists with more than one wife at the same time with one husband, the scripture cannot be broken. In the HOLY BIBLE the term, "two wives" must refer to two wives indeed. It cannot be put any plainer: It is the condition of ONE FLESH existing precisely as it is written. Is there any further need of elaboration? Pray for discernment.
It is written: Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. - Deuteronomy 4:2
TWO WIVES = TWO WIVES
Was Sarah an adultereress also because she shared her husband, Abraham, with her handmaid? Was his third wife, Keturah, also an adulteress? Were also all the wives of King David, unto whom the Lord added, adulteresses? Were the wives of Moses also adulteresses? Did God Himself, also commit spiritual adultery because even He said that He had two wives? I speak as a man that you might know that these sayings are even false; for none of these have committed adultery as some have said; but if you would contend for a lie and also the father of it, then your thoughts are yet carnal, and ye do not discern the things of God, neither do ye discern the Mystery concerning Christ and the Church. Know ye not that ALL marriage is spiritual but not all marriage is sanctified? Marriage is honourable in all.
Jesus did not redefine anything in the law. The whole consistancy of the bible would be lost. God/Jesus does not change. The God of the Old Testament has not changed from the God of the New Testament. Jesus is God the Father. Those men in the Old Testament with more than one wife were never considered adulterous so the definition of adultery would have to be "woman that breaketh wedlock" and still is in the New Testament. - Cat_che22 
Amen. And we know that God cannot lie. If he called them wives, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken, say ye also of them whom the Father hath sanctified, "thou blasphemist", because God said that the twain shall be one flesh? How then shall these "two wives", to whom the Word hath recognized as "wives", be called "adulteressess" if they are indeed "two wives"?
Some overlook the fact that Christ Jesus, the son of man, was born and also lived under the OLD COVENANT until his crucifixion and resurrection. The Neo-Pharisee church often leans upon the the licentious doctrine of legalism to justify itself by the premise that they are now living under the NEW COVENANTand therefore the words of JESUS don't apply to them, but Jesus didn't say anything of the sort. Jesus fulfilled the law. This means that Jesus literally " filled it up". He satisfied every requirement of the law. It was the only way that he could become that perfect living sacrifice. Christ Jesus paid the price required by the Law of Sin and Death by shedding his blood on the cross for the remission of sin and because Jesus is perfect there is no more requirement of the law for blood sacrifice to them that believe. Now that he is risen there is only one blood sacrifice anyone need concern themselves with today.
So why do we see all this murder and abortion and bloodshed going on in the world? A: Because these people are still living under the Law of Sin and Death. They have not fully submitted themselves to the Law of Love; they have not joined that perfect sacrifice in spirit and in truth, and they are not sanctified by the Blood of the Lamb because these continually reject Jesus, the Only Wise God. If they do not repent, if they do not receive the Holy Spirit, and if they are not baptised into His precious name, they shall surely die in their sins. Everyone is invited to partake in the living sacrifice of Christ Jesus but not everyone will. Many are called but few are chosen. For this reason I am also called a servant of the devil by those who think themselves more pure and holy by reason of their own brightness. Jesus said, " If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me." If your witness is popular and you receive the honor of many it is very likely that you have chinks in your armour. Godly men are constantly under attack and the things they say are not usually popular. The reasons for this are obvious to the sincere heart.
When Jesus "filled up" the law during his Sermon on the Mount he was not "redefining" his law as some understand it. Jesus "redefined" our eyesight and our understanding but God's word is true and amen. He gave us ears to hear and eyes to see what was already there, what was already written, what was already established in his law, by opening our understanding. We may call it "redefining" much in the same way an optician "re-defines" their client's eyesight every time they put on a new pair of glasses. Jesus fulfilled the law. Example:
Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Matthew 5:21-22)
Does this mean that we may now kill freely with impunity just as long as we don't call anybody names? I think not.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) Does this mean that we may now commit adultery freely and with impunity just as long we do it wearing blindfolds? Come on! Jesus didn't take away from the law in the slightest. Did Jesus "add" to the law? That would really depend on your *cough* definition of what "adding to the law" means. If fulfilling the law means "adding to" then Jesus added to the law by fufilling it. I am not persuaded to believe that Jesus added one jot or tittle to the law in any way but rather that many aspects of the law were hidden from the the wise and prudent during OLD TESTAMENT times and that Jesus expounded on these things in his sermon and with his disciples. Hence, we read:
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. (Matthew 11:25-26)
Did Jesus really expect us to start pulling out our eyes and removing our limbs if our flesh offended us? From Babylon until now the world still wrestles with semantics but you will not find a single scripture in all of the HOLY BIBLE that says that JESUS "added to" or "redefined" the law. But be forewarned: Should you pray for eyes to see, or for ears to hear, or pray that Jesus would open your understanding and your eyes and your ears... you may begin to see and hear certain things with a clarity of definition that you never experienced before. That doesn't mean that all of what you might then see or hear afterward wasn't there all along... No, it means that the Lord opened your eyes. Some folks will call this a revelation while others falsely call it "private interpretation". I thank Jesus for the HOLY BIBLE which will not support strange doctrine and verifies every revelation from God and the Holy Spirit that bears witness that the Word of God is true.
"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
Beholdest thou not the truth in it's fullness, O Puritan???

...do these words not ring familiar in your ears? It is even yet because you have hearkened unto the wrong voice, except ye hear Him. Full Bible Truth will maintain it. The string of words in the quotation above are from the King and they are written throughout the scripture, set at "random" some would say. See how they fit together; and pray for the ears to hear. This day, saith the LORD... "If ye hear my voice", saith Jesus. There is one who is holy, and righteous, and true, and pure in every way.
Hear ye Him. There is one only who is worthy of all the power, and all the honour, and all the glory and I will lay down my crown before His feet. Jesus Christ alone is my Lord, my Master, and King. This is my heavenly Father. Therefore it is a true saying that my righteousness is not my own but that even the son of man shall also come in the name and in the glory of the Father. The purity of holiness is before Him always and the very heavens flee before His face. There is none righteous, no not one, nor any so pure as He. There is none like Him. Touch not the Lord's annointed; but taste and see that the Lord is good. His Righteousness is the LORD's and He will not give His glory to another. Jesus is the ONE AND ONLY WISE GOD. There is no other. Think not unto thyself, I AM, there is none other but me, for you are not alone and you are not the one and only. The Spirit will testify that only one can be and verily God is ONE. Let thine eye be single and learn what this means.
