Polygamy is a practice that many cultures in the past and present still practice. The ancient Israelites practiced polygamy as a way to increase their populations at a faster rate and thus have more men for their armies. They did this by marrying virgin prisoners of war, young slave girls from different nations, and of course marrying multiple women from their tribe. The bible makes no comment about it being a sin, but it is a practice that is frown upon today. I personally see no problem with it between consenting adults. However in a religious setting, with strict gender roles the relationship dynamics can be one sided and only benefit the husband. There is also the slippery slope towards child brides. A serious problem that happens in the USA.

@@faithhouse6111 I'm so glad to run across your comment on polygamy. I see clearly how Mark 10:10-12 and Luke 16:18 prove that polygamy is, for Christians, adultery. The "first wife" is scripturally free to leave her polygamous husband, divorce him, and marry another man. The man who marries this divorced woman does not commit adultery. The polygamous husband committed adultery when he took a second wife, and his adultery freed his first wife from the marital bond with him.

While I am not a polyganist, I am on the fence as to the Bible’s either support or condemnation or even indifference to it. A few comments about the video. I think sometimes we can read INTO the text because it supports an already preconceived idea that we already have on a subject from either upbringing or theological positions on a subject before we give another stance a fair observation. Just to reflect on some of the comments of brother “flame”, I think it is an assumption (unless he has made the necessary study) to suggest polygany is a disaster waiting to happen because look how it unfolds in scripture. His reference to Abraham, and David is noted but it starts to break down when he gets to Solomon because Solomons use of “it’s all vanity” was regards to the things of life chasing the world and the things in it. But he does not mention (if I’m not mistaken) marriage nor polygany specifically nor even hints at it, to drawn brother flames conclusion. Also, besides the popular three i.e. Abraham, David, and Solomon, the Bible mentions several other polyganist relationships e.g. Caleb, Belshazzar, Asher, Gideon, Jacob, Moses, etc… were all mentioned in scripture to having more than one wife, so one would have to speak to what does scripture speak of the success or failure of their marriages, and just because the popular ones failed to assume the others did is a fallacy and a reading into the text. Another point, is that arguably the scripture is heavily about relationship and marriage and union, and so to suggest that God is against polygyny without expressly stating such when scripture is so heavily geared to something so much as relationship, marriage, union, etc… is I think without merit and foundation. Man as a whole is sinful and everything he touches fails, including relationship with God, so one could then argue, following flames idea to its logical conclusion that God should be against seeking Him out because even when we do, it fails and fails miserably. But no one suggests such because God is the one who gives grace and mercy and truth to bring us to a point of salvation and in its right and correct manner, and so the same could be argued about polygyny that, yes when man, puts his hand in it, it is destined to fail, but with Christ, All things are possible”, so success in polygany can be successful if done in Him and not the worlds way. Also. Brother “Da Truth” I think spoke on the Two shall be one, etc… pointing to “oneness” and it was Adam and Eve etc… I think this two of followed to its logical conclusion may be flawed thinking. Example the trinity is thee persons, but yet they are one, the church is the bride of Christ and MANY PERSONS make up the church, but they are called to be ONE, and a host of other examples of relationship, marriage, etc… that have numbers but yet are still called to be one, and so polygyny although multiple persons can be argued still called and expected to be “ONE”. I just wanted to join the conversation and give some alternative views and perspective to truly have a dialogue on an important topic that actually seems to be gaining ground and momentum in the black community. May the Lord bless and continue to guide us in Jesus name. Amen!

I see your replies asking good questions and make relevant statement. What is your response? What you describe sounds like you're saying we have to be willing to allow ourselves to be manipulated by reinterpretations from something that is clearly stated that were able to comprehend and apply what its saying in its context. Maybe you're unaware of the strong proclamations of Christian beliefs and Foundation and that will explain you not understanding why when people read the Bible they're taking it literally as it spoke rather than look for eclectic and Mystic ways to understand what they're reading such as the way you're saying which is bending towards God way of thinking and not your own..... do you understand how you made a statement without giving any explanation or understanding of what is possible about your advice or what is coherent? Especially since most people who read the Bible are already Believers and already have the understanding that as they read God is already present leading them so you sound like you're correcting them with information that they're already using but getting different results than what you desire. Next it seems like you're dismissing the skill and ability that humans were given from God which is to think and comprehend I know be very confusing indoctrination and sermons that Pastor gives that contradict each other as well as go against the possible practical way we do things and make people feel insufficient with the skills that are really human ability by giving a standard of extra spiritualism Always setting the bar high so you never really questioned God but you question your own ability it's a trick.

@@naturelife418 I’m glad for you that you enjoyed it. Confirmation bias does not make for good theology tho. As I mentioned initially, this poor panel is scripturally illiterate on the polygyny topic, and are simply parroting someone else’s opinion on the matter. I’d suggest that you may wanna actually study it out for yourself, being careful of confirmation biases and cultural biases. I can say for a fact that monogamy was foreign to early Christianity until Tertullian around 200-220 AD, and he was speaking from a grossly minority position criticizing the bishop of bishops for supporting “multi-nuptials”. He claimed that his revelation of monogamy was a new revelation to him by the Holy Spirit. Roman Catholicism gradually twisted arms until they outlawed poly in the Middle Ages. Martin Luther, Augustine, Clement of Alexandria and many others affirmed its acceptance in Scripture. Christ used it in parables comparing it to the kingdom of heaven, and Paul used it several times to explain the bride of Christ. God the Father used it at least 3 times in scripture to portray his relationship to Israel, and said that He was the one who’d given David all his wives, and said he’d have given him more if that weren’t enough, right before he condemned Davids adultery. As to the panelist’s claims of issues and troubles within polygamous families in scripture, this is a patently disingenuous argument. You could apply everything he claimed and more against monogamous families in scripture, but no one bothers to apply the argument evenly. Also, when there was an issue, I think its a more accurate approach to say that it was a personal problem, both with men and women who didnt operate correctly in their God given role. Thats not a mono or poly marriage problem, thats a fruit of the spirit problem. And I could go on for quite some time on the topic, both scripturally and historically, but you’d be better served to research it yourself.

In short, it is not a sin. Afterall, it's a reason Paul had to tell the MEN who wanted to become Bishops and Deacons to be the husbands of One wife...if it wasn't permissible, why would there be a distinction? However, if you're seeking peace - even one wife can be one woman too many! Remember, Paul also said that if you're married - don't seek to be single, and if you're single - don't seek to be married; the reason being that pining over your life in a different status becomes a distraction from your current relationship with The Father, especially single men. Married men have the burden of always having to cater to the ever-growing needs of their wives (and children), and this is a lifelong struggle in keeping both relationships cultivated - mainly when the wife isn't godly. Then the husband wakes up everyday trying to figure out what will keep his wife off of his back, instead of waking up asking how he can please YHWH that day. Women represent the souls of mankind, which can be very much in tune with "what have you done for me lately," if not in proper alignment with and in submission to the Spirit - which men represent; fyi, children represent the flesh. Also, the host in this video said that Bathsheba was raped...that is false!

No, polygamy is not a sin. God does not TEACH how to sin. There are laws given how to marry two wives. It is not just recorded. It was endorsed all through scripture. Adam had one wife and she brought havoc on his soul though she was perfect help for his flesh. We dont have to apologize for God. What he allow, he allow. Are not all the same sin from the beginning will be judged in the end? He is the same God of all scripture. Yesterday, Today, and tomorrow. We do not change scripture to make a gender, nation, or religion feel Good. When God condones something, we NEVER call it sin or wrong just because our culture doesn't practice it. Please brothers and sisters follow Christ and study the holy scriptures. God can not sin, neither does he participate in it!!! No, polygamy is not a sin and it doesn't break the order of Gods intent. For the head of the woman is man. I personally believe it is a more challenging road to take, but I will never call something a sin that God never does.

We do a good job of putting our own souls in jeopardy, even though we've heard Adam's tale our most our whole lives. Why do [we] still sin? Adam and Eve showed what a desire put above/before God does to us all. Eve went after her own, and Adam after his; "which happen to be his wife" that God gave him. He desired his dying mortal wife, more than the eternal living God. This has nothing to do with the issue of is bigamy a SIN. A sin... I think too much of anything will corrupt any man, but I will only call to sin that which God has called sin. Bigamy is NOT one of them. This has nothing to do with a man's lust, greed, or lack of commitment. We can visit those issues separately in monogamy and bigamy on another feed for them. This is just the question of should we call something a sin, that GOD Never does. That God participates in, and teaches how to govern it. Is it his perfect will? I dont think so.

Hmmmmmm. A few things about the responses to the question of polygamy. First off Paul stated that in his opinion men shouldn’t marry at all because the women is a distraction. And yes , because of the Distraction the women created it isn’t wise for men in LEADERSHIP. To take on multiple wives. The scriptures all also points out the teacher and leaders will be held to a higher standard, so there is Consistency there. But for the layman, there no law against Polygamy. In fact, according to Christians there’s no law at all. Of course, we all know that isn’t true. Also, can we name any patriarch in Scripture with one wife ,and that wife didn’t give him trouble ? Think about is . Adam only had one wife. After the fall, Yah placed a curse on Eve and all her daughters that men would rule over them. Ever consider this maybe part of that curse? I could go on ....

there are sufficient loopholes in the bible for anyone to deceive themselves if they so choose to operate on technicalities, but it's clear the bible does not endorse polygamy for those seeking righteousness: (1) as mentioned in the video, genesis 1 and 2 make God's original intention pretty clear. this is always the template that should inform our relationships. (2) "how do you know the curse doesn't include allowing men to have multiple wives?". well, for starters, bc it doesn't say that it does. do you see evidence in scripture that suggests God ordained this as a part of the curse? (3) paul speaks in several places about his sexual ethics. he was writing during the roman empire when women had no rights and roman men could have sex at any time with anyone: slaves, women and boys. it was pretty radical at this time to return to the story of creation/God's intent and to make the claim the husband's body belongs to his wife (singular). (4) he also said in corinthians let every woman have her own husband. it ain't yours if you sharing. (5) it's no coincidence that Jesus uses marriage to describe his relationship with the church. a marriage that on several occasions is described as having one woman and one man. on a practical level, most brothas are barely managing the one woman (and kids) they have. seems unfeasible, outside of sex, to be a godly husband to multiple wives.

Everyone can easily come up with an argument as to why you should only have one wife. But if someone actually made the effort there are many arguments as to why having one wife is acceptable if you were given the means to provide for them and the family you would create. Not to mention Jesus himself comes from a bloodline of polygeny

I keep seeing people claiming God changed his mind. Please don't do this to our Lord. God told the prophet Samuel to warn the people that that stuff was a consequence of them wanting a king. (1samuel 8:10-22) so God doesn't change his mind. It wasn't something he endorsed. He wanted the people to follow him. Yet like the Hebrews at that time we want to do what the other people are doing and be justified in it. We are LITERALLY doing the same thing. I pray we learn to face our hearts with the reality of who God is and submit ourselves to him humbly.

And the most important part of this question is that the number of wives or concubines they had didn't affect their relationship with God, and God didn't reject them because they have concubines, moreso we need to understand the user of the word concubine in the scriptural context "concubine those days does not mean exter-marital affairs but women they offered to them on marriage most of them are their wives slaves which they made those kings marry for reasons best known to them... Just like the days of Jacob.... From what I have observed being from Africa where we have this issue in higher rate... Some men are just destined to marry more than a woman and that the fact.

4:07 this argument that biblical polygyny always leads to trouble is probably one of the worst arguments against it. If it is so bad and troublesome why did God reward people for it and cause it to happen as a gift (2 Sam 12:8, Gen. 30:18). Sounds like polygyny does screw up, people screw up and the people screwing up polygyny probably would’ve found a way to screw up monogamy. And then it seems as if whenever polygyny is discussed, people always want to first focus on the sexual aspect of polygyny, which, in turn, causes the stigma of men only wanting polygyny out of lust to be invoked, and its really immature.

Because there's other examples of men raping women in the scriptures and being punished for the act. King David wasn't punished for raping Bathsheba, he was punished for killing her husband in order to take her as a wide. And with that said, I believe it's more acceptable for a man to have multiple wives than it is for a woman to teach.

But human beings aren’t one of them). Although Long-term pair bonding does occur within the human species. it doesn’t necessarily mean,, monogamy. Down through human history, diverse cultures throughout the world practiced different relationship styles. Including polygyny, polyandry, polygamy, polyamory/ethical non-monogamy. Where there is consent there is no cheating. Legal government/state controlled or religious controlled or mandated Marriage,, is a made-up concept. It does not exist in nature.

If marriage represents Christ’s relationship with the church, don’t you think we should know what the biblical definition of marriage is? Most of us obviously know that marriage is between a man and a woman, but did you know that marriage to a divorced woman is adultery? Nothing can turn a relationship that a divorced woman gets into while her husband is living; into a true, God defined marriage. She remains in adultery as long as she remains in a sexual/emotional relationship with another man besides her living, covenant husband.  On the other hand, a man who is divorced because of his wife’s persistent sexual immorality is free to marry another woman. Do you know why this is? It’s because a God defined marriage can be a man who has one wife or multiple wives. If a man who is divorced because of his wife’s sexual immorality marries another woman, that doesn’t mean he is not still married to his first wife; that does not mean that the first wife cannot return to him if she comes to repentance. A man taking another wife after he is divorced for legitimate reasons, does not close the door to reconciliation with his first wife. If you believe differently, I ask you, for the sake of the glory of God, to present evidence from the Bible to support your claim.  And if you do agree, please share what you are doing about it.

We don’t live in the ideal though, what are the women who are left without husbands do merely by virtue of population differences and a smaller pool of men who even want to be husbands? It’s easy to make the arguments made here which are surface level and certainly not definitive, but when you start asking deeper questions it gets more complicated quickly, and society has branded it as inherently bad, but does the Bible at any point state it is a sin?

Polygamy is not the problem, the problem is the culture, what has been the results of areas the adopted the western idea of monogomy, have marriage become better or worse. In my country its worse, it was much better during the days of polygamy, jealousy is no excuse even siblings have rivalry due to jealousy, so its more about culture.

2 Samuel 12:18 says “I gave your master's house to you, and your master's wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more” The above is from God to David. I suppose we see things and infer things dependent on the culture we are from. I’m African, and growing up it was common to see men with multiple wives in church. My grandfather was a committed Baptist and a farmer. He had two wives. My uncle is also a committed church goer with three wives. With respect to Paul saying a Bishop or Elder should be the husband of one wife, could it be that there were those in church with more than one wife? If that is so why did Paul not directly condemn the practice. Personally I wouldn’t go down the route of polygamy, and I’ve been happily married for 33 years (yes, I’m an older guy😊) I think I’d agree with one of the panelist who suggests it’s a disputable matter.

If the Bible records it, it does not endorse it!!!! So, then how do you decide what is a to be followed and what isn´t. So when Leviticus says all the things you should not do, is that just a description of what someone wrote. Are the Letters of Paul simply what someone wrote but we don´t need to endorse them???? And you have not demonstrated that polygamy or polygyny is a sin!!!!!!! ou have to be much more precise than this or admit there is room for interpretation.

Maybe some christians are unaware of the strong proclamations of Christian beliefs and Foundation and that will explain them not understanding why when people read the Bible they're taking it literally as it spoke rather than look for eclectic and Mystic ways to understand what they're reading such as the way preachers say which is bending towards God way of thinking and not your own..... do they understand how they made a statement without giving any explanation or understanding of what is possible about there advice or what is coherent? Especially since most people who read the Bible are already Believers and already have the understanding that as they read God is already present leading them so preachers sound like there correcting them with information that believers already using but getting different results than what the preacher desire. Next it seems like there dismissing the skill and ability that humans were given from God which is to think and comprehend. I know there are very confusing indoctrination and sermons that Pastor gives that contradict each other as well as go against the possible practical way we do things and make people feel insufficient with the skills that are really human ability by giving a standard of extra spiritualism Always setting the bar high so you never really questioned God but you question your own ability it's a trick.... SO IS HAVING MULTIPLE MARRIAGES SIMULTANEOUSLY A SIN YES OR NO....IS THIS ANSWER STATED CLEARLY IN BIBLE WITHOUT ANY INTERPRETATION???? Yes this direct answer does matter no we are not wrong or misunderstanding or off focus because we ask this question and for demanding a unified undeniable evidently answer...for the sake of knowing god stands on this in every culture in every position in time. Of the world since the proclamation is the Bible is useful and purposeful in our lives as well as the standard for what we are to do and always has been... most Christians response to difficult question is them feeling as if they have to show us teach us and explains us how our focus and how our thinking is off... it's a trick cuz they know most Christians already go by the principle and understanding that God is in Authority always perfect we're imperfect (made to always think humble and less of them selfs especially compared to bible) we have to catch up so anytime there's a misunderstanding or something or something is seen as wrong and morally evil in the Bible or a lack of proper guidance from the Bible, that person indoctrinated and manipulated to see themself at fault it is a trick!
