So, divorce and remarriage aside, and your flimsy example of Christ and HIs many membered bride, do you have any scripture where Jesus or any of the Apostles taught anything other than polygamy?
I mean, there is that small verse about the bishop being the husband of one wife, but I"m sure you can explain that one away!

I think the fact that Jesus characterizes himself as a groom of multiple virgins is significant. If it was unholy certainly he wouldn't characterize himself doing something unholy.
In regards to Paul's admonishion about only having one wife...it's only commanded of Bishops and deacons. I think we should ask a fair question....would there be a need for Paul to admonish any bishop or deacons to be the husband of only one wife if polygamy wasn't present in the early church?

Funny, all those fingers and toes are all connected on my one wife. Hmmm.... I didn't think I was that bad with math???
Let's see....
1 Corinthians 12:12-13
(12) For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
(13) For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
Looks like ONE to me?????
