What Does God Say About Polygamy?
Despite the negative public image that the practice has been saddled with over the last 100 years, and despite recent secular claims that it is actually harmful to society, Polygamy is in fact a Godly lifestyle. Set aside for a moment the Mormon and Islamic bastardization of the practice of polygamy, and you will find that the Holy Christian Bible heartily endorses the possession of multiple wives. King Soloman had 700 wives and 300 concubines. King David had at least 10. In fact there are a dozen or more verses that explicitly mention polygamy.

So "Why," you might well ask, "do True Christian™ men not engage in the Blessed practice of polygamy?" "Why", you might ask, "doesn't a handsome young pastor like yourself have a dozen or more wives flitting around the house, waiting on you, servicing your every need, whim and desire as God commands?" Well the answer to that question is the same answer to the question "Why don't we stone queers to death, or those who work on the Sabbath?" Unfortunately God in His infinite wisdom has also commanded us to obey secular laws. :thumbdown: Quote:
*Please note that the practice of polyandry IS strictly prohibited by God's Laws as well as man's. We'll have none of that perverted, unnatural behavior thank you very much! :nono: |

For any True Christian™ men out there who have difficulty keeping it in their trousers, may I suggest a reading of Ge:38:13-26:

Anointed Biblical teaching, Brethren. What's more, while hippy-dippy liberal Christians will argue that the Old Testament laws on polygyny were set aside in the New Testament (or rather, their personal opinion of what the Lord meant to say in the New Testament), the New Testament actually takes polygyny for granted. Bishops and deacons are required to be monogamous:
1 Tim. 3:2: A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1 Tim. 3:12: Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. If all Christian men were monogamous as a matter of course, why would the Lord insert that requirement specifically for bishops and deacons? The Bible contains no superfluous words. |

I have no wife at the moment, but I try to get multiple wives! Too bad the liberal law bans us from living the way of our Lord.

Our Lord Himself told a parable about ten virgins who went out to marry the same bridegroom. Try telling this to one of those fluffy-bunny Christians and they'll answer that it's "only" a parable. Yes of course it's a parable, and the bridegroom is Jesus Christ Himself. Why would Jesus liken Himself unto a bridegroom who marries ten virgins in one night, unless He supported polygamy? |
Re: What Does God Say About Polygamy?
Regarding the distorted practice of the Mormons in this regard, it was mentioned here a while back, that although Brigham Young was apparently faithful to his 55 wives, not all of them were faithful to him.
Shocking, isn't it? This goes to what Pastor Zeke posted regarding polyandry! Truly an abominable and detestable practice! The Mormons are SO damned, it is just a wonderment that God hasn't smote them already. |
Re: What Does God Say About Polygamy?
Oh, almost forgot this;
I have noted repeatedly, that while modern era Mormons are mindful of the current LDS prohibition against polygamy, with their peculiar fascination with genealogy, most of them are aware of their direct ancestors practice of this and they cite proudly their descent from many 'big name' Mormons of the nineteenth century. You can't help but think that if the Mormon politburo reversed itself, the practice would flourish yet again, and sadly, with all the non-Biblical befuddlements of that evil fool, Joseph Smith. |

Another thing that they will do is if you're an older woman who has never married, you can be sealed to a married man. This means that you will not be allowed to marry here on earth but will become this mans wife in the "Celestial Kingdom". I'm really not sure what happens to unsealed women if they die as it doesn't seem to be mentioned in their books. I asked my sister once while I was still single and all she said is that "I'm sure heavenly father has a plan". :shrug: As for the original posting about polygamy. My father used to joke that God's punishment for polygamy was multiple mother in laws. Jokes aside though, I think it would take a very strong Christian man in order to handle multiple wives. Face it, we're catty and who knows what messes you'd be coming home to every day. There is also a strange phenomena regarding our "time". Women who live in close proximity tend to start cycling together (if you know what I mean) do you really want to deal with that? I have no idea why God would punish you men with such a trick, you would think that not being on the same schedule would work out better for everyone involved. |

There have been studies conducted that suggests that polygamy benefits children by allowing for shared childcare and household duties.

You concerns make sense. However, the polygamy detailed in the Bible, and practiced elsewhere did not involve True Christian ladies. I believe that a love of Jesus amongst the multiple wives coupled with a strong spirit of faith upon the Christian husband could manage such a household. After all, Christian Sisters look after one another. Confidently Yours, Handmaiden |
