Re: What's so wrong with polygamy?

If I had a few sister/wives, I'd make them clean the house and do the cooking. I'd oppress them like Sarah did Hagar!

Bless your heart. Did that seem sincere?

Re: What's so wrong with polygamy?

I think Adam and Eve speaks just as plainly regarding one man and one woman being God's plan same as it speaks volumes about Adam and Steve not being God's plan.

Just because God tolerated it doesn't mean he approved of it.

Re: What's so wrong with polygamy?

Looks like it might be wrong for bishops and deacons - - not sure about the rest of you guys!

1 Timothy 3:2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;

1 Timothy 3:12
Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

I'd say that bishops and deacons are to serve as examples before the congregation:
1 Peter 5:3
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
If they were to only have one wife... certainly all Christian males should be a husband of one wife should they marry.
