Bishops and deacons are required to be monogamous:

As if there was a difference between the Old and the New Testament. People seem to forget that both Testaments were written by the same Author.
Our Lord Himself told a parable about ten virgins who went out to marry the same bridegroom.
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
[...]
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
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?
