I think it is coming also. As long as it is between consenting adults, I do not see an issue with it.

Just a few more deadbeat dads not paying child support after they divorce wives #8, 9, & 10?
Just a few more single moms raising kids alone after dad has gotten tired of wives 2, 4 & 6?
Just a few more kids running the streets, getting in trouble, while dad works because mom decided she didn't want to compete with other women for dads affections so she moved on?
Shall I continue?
This is simply a lust issue...nothing more...

Re: What's so wrong with polygamy?
I think there was a time polygamy, and or concubines were necessary to populate the earth. Boys were needed to carry on the family name, and business. A lot of women died in childbirth, infant mortality rates were high. That is not the case any more.

The time to populate is now. It need not be by polygamy, or concubines, though.
With the exception of the Muslim population, most all of Europe in declining, and even the US is hardly replacing themselves. If you exclude the first generation immigrant population we are in decline I think.
So, we Christians in the Western World have two choices - OK Three
#1. Convert Muslims in a big way. This is not happening - more are converting to the Muslim faith than from it in western countries.
#2. Start having babies. Not happening now - kids infringe on our ease of life - they are anything BUT a "Blessing from the Lord" to most Christian people.
#3. Cease to exist

Do you think teen pregnancies have gone down? And of course, abortion is legal. Do you have statistics?

Re: What's so wrong with polygamy?
We actually had a thread on this... I'll look for it later.

We do know the people on the TV show 20 kids and counting or whatever the title is, are doing their part.

Re: What's so wrong with polygamy?
Men couldn't treat their wives equally under the law - thus it was changed to One.
Those today would rather have more than one, but cannot for the NT. Am I right??

When and where was it changed? I think one could say the New Testament discourages it, and even forbids it for ministers.
