Polygamy in the Bible

I wouldn't use that logic. I'm a male and part of the bride. Does that make Jesus "gay married"?

Yeewwww.

Dora.....many men like the idea of having few hot wives.

Dude...you mean we men can be carnal?

Ok...it's true. We can be very carnal at times.

I'll be honest, I think it would be interesting in theory...but reality is a different story. I picked a good wife...she provides every thing I could ever want.

Scriptural approach though, I can't condemn or tell anyone that is in Polygamy that they are "wrong", in "sin" , or "lost" other than a minister.

There's just not a basis for it. I happen to be a male, if I was female (due to society and conditioning of the present times) this would hurt me to hear in a way. It would make me feel less important or like a second rate being to a male. I understand that, and I'm sorry, I can't find reason/scripture to disprove it or I would. I would rather monogamy be the only and right choice according to God, but it's not about my ways.

Lastly , to remind you - I care nothing for monogamy and find it disturbing in a sense, but i'm sure that's due to my "conditioning and present time mentality". I would discourage it if someone came seeking advice or guidance, but I could not tell them it was going to cause them to miss heaven.

Interesting and complex position bro. I’m not sure what to think of it.

But I’d like to revisit Dora’s question….(it really was a doosey of a question)

If a couple came to you and privately confessed or confided in you that they were mutually interested in opening their marriage to polyamory or polygamy…you’d disagree but not think they would miss heaven?

*(Sorry if I got your question wrong Dora.)

From my perspective polygamy puts women in a vulnerable position and is likely to result in abuse for the wife and for the children. Must create such confusion for the children. And there is always the issue of the husband preferring one wife over the other.

Just some rambling thoughts...feel free to contribute your views on the subject.

My conviction stems from the fact that I can't afford more than one wife, and PLUS, I dont want two or more women yelling at me for leaving my clothes in the floor.

I've known of one...but she'd never admit it publically. I looked for at least one more and could find one.

Hey, my wife and I were talking about it once and she told me it might be nice to have another woman in the house...because she'd have someone to help with the house work and I'd be out of hair sometimes. lol I thought that was a very liberated statement at first...and then I realized it was her way of saying that at times I'm an annoying slob. LOL
