Did you read the verse
above
the main text? God GAVE David his masters wives. God gave David more
than one wife. This is much more than God "permitting" polygamy and did God forget His own
words in Gen.2:24?
God blessed David with wives but condemned him when he took another man's wife.
How many wives did David
have
before he committed adultery
with Bathsheba?
David did not commit adultery with each of his wives, adultery is intimacy with a wife not your own.
Polygyny is not adultery if it is, then God promoted adultery by giving David extra wives. It is time to face the truth; polygyny is Biblical.
Welcome to Christian polygamy
The Bible contains many accounts of Christian polygyny marriages. The Lord
blessed and used Bible polygyny for His own purposes and glory. God
does not condemn polygyny, never calls it adultery, wickedness or a
fleshly perversion and as God's children we need to accept God's Word on this subject.
Our Heavenly Father did not ask us to like His Word He expects us to
believe it.
Are Christians against polygamy? No, man made religions teach monogamy only. Are there Bible verses against polygamy? No, not one verse can be found which plainly condemns polygyny; figuratively God Himself has more than one "wife".
Many Christians are seriously misinformed on the subject of polygamy, or better still polygyny. Some reactions against it are purely emotive; in ways unknown this subject touches deep personal issues generating great fear and insecurity.
This website is not promoting
polygyny, it was created to defend polygyny against the horrors of half
truths and out of context Scripture abuse heard in many denominations.
We are not demanding or
implying;
that anyone monogamous should live in fear of sharing a spouse.
Please don't tell the Lord "nothing good comes from polygamy", you might offend Him. Since our Lord came through polygamy and if God calls polygynists holy it is time His children stopped arguing against God and His Word.
Polygynists, both ancient and modern, are part of God's family as the day of glory will show. It would horrify believers to know the God is a polygynous God in His relationship with Israel and Judah but they are only horrified because they are deceived by false tradition promoted by many modern teachers using half truths and lies.
The "church" has tried, condemned and murdered polygynists and one wonders what they would do with Abraham, David and many other friends of God if they were in the assemblies today. Zealous missionaries are breaking up polygynous families, forcing mothers and children into desperate situations, this zeal is religious not Scriptural.
We present the Word of God regarding polygyny accompanied with the prayer that rampant fear, ignorance and prejudice will melt away in the light of God's Word and polygyny will be seen
for what it is; holy, acceptable to God, Scriptural, a sanctioned marriage option
as much a choice as monogamy or remaining
single.
Truth sets free, perfect love casts out fear.

Polygamy de la Biblia
There is NO
injunction in the NT for the husband
to have one wife only.
1Tim.3 and
Titus are abused by traditionalists and a close study of 1Cor.7:2 is
revealing and enlightens v11.
