We are not talking about remarriage, we are talking about sex with a whore.

Same thing. Even wanting to have someone other than your spouse counts as adultery. Why would not divorcing your wife make it okay, but if you divorce her it magically becomes adultery? There is a huge difference between laws and morals. Just because polygamy was permitted doesn't make it good, just like divorce was also permitted but we have established that it too is wrong.
And if you are correct, the entire purpose of having more restrictions on a woman's sex life was to prevent confusion about inheritance, which is no longer relevant. That would mean women can now sleep around too.

that's still relevant, 50% of people have a different father than who they think

But it doesn't matter anymore. Biological heritage is no longer this magical thing that defines who you are.

Why is it such a big deal whose DNA they have? You can't even know unless you get a test.

you'll never have kids so it's not a concern for you but for most of us we want a real kid, 50% of women cheat which is why religion is almost totally focused on sex and controlling them. It's all that matters. You want your line to continue and definitely not spend years of work and money taking care of some guy who fucked your wife and left's kid.

If you raised that kid it's your kid. Since you can't even tell the difference then how does it matter?
It's all that matters
It's absolutely not. Early Christians in fact had a somewhat negative attitude towards marriage and reproduction in general.

OK so now you are making up your own morality and putting it on people in Biblical times even though you admit it was not the law. BTW, if you are saying inheritance is no longer relevant, fine, if you inherit anything please give it to me. If I have any children, you can pay for them. Also, if any of your family are going to help you out in time of need, point out that such considerations are irrelevant now and tell them to send me money instead. You shouldn't mind, what with inheritance being irrelevant and everything.

Inheritance is still a thing, but it's not strictly by biological descent anymore. Ancient fathers were absolutely paranoid about their children being "not really theirs" with their genes. To the point where they'd straight up abandon them if they found out they were illegitimate.
