        "Quote Scripture, please,  Mr. Finkelman, where God Himself ever 
APPROVED of polygamy." 
 
 
        How much weight does the  absence of such a quote have in a 
discussion of what God does or does not  approve of? What counts as God approving of a 
practice?  Must the Bible  explicitly say that God approves of a particular 
practice to infer that He  approves of it? Must He specifically state his 
disapproval? Does God ever  reproach Abraham for his marriage practices? Aren't 
there many practices  described in the Bible of which God approves--common 
practices--despite God  never explicitly stating is approval?
