Matt 19:8
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so .
Moses law allowed divorce although from the beginning it was not so and thus it is with polygamy. Is it a sin? Nowhere does it say such in the scripture but what did it say in the beginning?
Gen 2:21-24
21 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;
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Notice, in the beginning it states wife as singular but a plurality would have nullified the "one flesh".
More mother-in-laws? Mines worth a million but I wouldn't give a nickle for another one!
