Hi believer,

you wrote; " From the very beginning it was against GOD's law to have more then one spouse"

Can you provide any proof/quotes to that claim, from the very begining??

 He cannot provide any proof because Jacob had more than one wife (+ two concub'es). David had quite a few. King Soloman had 300 wives and 1000 concub'es. Jesus did not have even one wife. So the christians do not have any suitable example to follow. They do not have any law (I would not say they are lawless people).

 The church discarded the law of Moses, saying that the law is a curse. After that they did not have any law. No law about marriage or divorce. They had to enact their own laws of marriage and divorce.  Imagine the day when the church found it necessary (or gave in) to the demand of the people for divorce ! Where was christianity on that day? It was proved to them that their religion was incomplete, un-natural, in-human.

But still we see the unmarried fathers (evangelists, Padres) amongst the christians. And unmarried mothers too(?) perhaps.

 But believer is quite active still busy formulating some new laws for the entire mankind that there had been only one woman for one man. That is not entirely wrong. Islam advises that. But allows more than one wife in special circumstances as the need be.

One woman - one man is not practical..

And really.. women already out number men (except in a few areas of the world that practice female selective abortion).  Then you take into acount that all men (nor all women) but more men do not make good partners.
 
And if you ask many women would you want 50% of a great man or 100% of a bad.. imagine what they will answer..especially if they feel they must marry..

Genesis 2

24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh

John 3
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I am certainly sorry that you are blind to the truth.  There is nothing more I can say.
 
Do Muslims believe that Adam had more then one wife?  Why did Allah make 2 for him?

Hi believer,
there are many of God's prophets in your Holy Bible that had more than one wife without any alarms, as it must have been a standard pratice throughout times. What we have asked you was if you have come accross a verse that forbids such practice so you can prove your point. You failed to provide a single such verse. That does not make me blind, instead it proves you...?? you know what.
If you don't have a proof that means it was your own idea. And I don't beleive that if any of those God's prophets who married more than one wife were in anyway unchaste. All the prophets were to be the best examples for their people.
