What God Says About Polygamy In The Bible by danielblessing(m): 8:25am On Oct 29, 2016 |
1. 1 Tim 3: 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; PS: This is one of the requirements of becoming a bishop 2. Titus 1: 6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly PS: In this case the text is generalizing, that is to say, all Christians. While it is true that polygamy was practice in the Old Testament and is still today in some parts of the world, the New Testament era did usher in an age of “one woman to one man” for marriage. If you examine Paul's discussion carefully in Eph 5, you will see this “ one woman to one man” concept. 3. v. 22: Wives submit yourself unto your own husbands-- (not husband)--for it's a general statement to all wives 4. v. 23: For the husband is the head of the wife-- (not wives) this is a singular statement meaning one man to one woman 5. v. 25: Husbands, love your wives-- the sentence is plural because he is speaking to all husbands and wives 6. v. 31: For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife.. (not wives) 7. v: 33: Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. (Again notice that the text is in the singular) I could not advise polygamy for any person, since it is against the will of God. But I do know that Jesus came and gave us a new standard to live by. May God bless you as you do what is right 2 Likes 2 Shares |

The onset of polygamy is adultery rendering it sinful ab initio! Else how would a married man look with lust at another woman and desire her? |
