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.

When a Holy Ghost man and a Holy Ghost woman get married they become One Flesh. If he marries again he has 2 fleshes??

The NT doesn't have to SANCTION it God gave wives to David if he wanted more he asked others to take others wives etc... THe LAW was written and in the ERA of polygamy not a PEEP from God on there alleged godless act of defiling the marriage. Yet since to God the most important covenant in the Bible is marriage etc.. You would think he would have jumped all over this! Yet nothing! Then came the women wanting EQUAL time and power etc....pushing mens buttons. It went from polygamy was allowable and normal to one wife, then after that was norm she moved into the rest of the house and now to alleged equal headship.... hmmm talking about the slow slippery slope from where you came from.

Uh...you do realize that the "one flesh" is a figurative term right?

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Polygamy in the Bible
Dr. V, what is the point in continuing this? Are you in favor of having multiple wives? I thought you said you were not - so let it go.
