Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will
pardon it
”- Jeremiah 5:1, King James Bible. 
If God is O.K. with polygamy, then why was Adam given just one woman? 
Scripture states that the Creator has no problem with polygamy. In fact, not only does it state that God was 
o.k. with king David having multiple wives, but even goes as far as saying it was the Creator who made 
David acquire king Saul’s former wives. As is written: 
“Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I ANOINTED THEE KING OVER ISRAEL, and delivered thee out of 
the hand of Saul. AND GAVE THEE THY LORD’S HOUSE, AND THY LORD’S WIVES into thy 
bosom… AND WOULD MOREOVER (IF THAT HAD BEEN TOO LITTLE) HAVE GIVEN THEE SUCH 
AND SUCH THINGS”- 2 Samuel 12:7-8 (1599 Geneva Bible). 
But if the former is actually true, then why was Adams given only one wife? Well, in order to understand the 
answer to this question, we must first ask ourselves the following: Why does God tell us that Eve was created
from the part of Adam’s body that is normally populated by multiple ribs (“And the Lord God caused a deep 
sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof”- 
Genesis 2:21, King James Bible)? 
What’s the purpose of giving us such particular dertail? It’s purpose is to serve as an allegorical 
representation of a larger truth-- a way of hinting at the idea that, just as it is perfectly normal for a healthy 
man to have multiple ribs, so is for a healthy man to have multiple wives. 
But if so, why was Adan given one single wife? Why not many? It was done so, in order to promote [and 
ensure] the brotherhood of all mankind-- In other words, so that [in the future] a man couldn’t say to his 
neighbor: “I am a descendant of Eve, while you are a descendant of another woman; therefore, since we 
come from different families, I have no moral obligation to show you any brotherly love”. 
And why is brotherly love so important that God is willing to run the risk of making His word appear to be 
contradictory [seemingly promoting monogamy on one hand, while promoting polygamy on the other hand]?
The reason for the former is that God considers brotherly love to be of such paramount importance that 
everlasting life actually hinges upon it. In other words, wherever brotherly loves is manifested, there will 
God allow everlasting life to also manifests. 
As is written: “HOW DELIGHTFULLY GOOD WHEN BROTHERS LIVE TOGETHER IN HARMONY! 
IT IS LIKE FINE OIL... FOR THERE THE LORD HAS APPOINTED THE BLESSING—LIFE 
FOREVERMORE”- Psalm 133, Christian Standard Bible.
