1 Corinthians 7:2
But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
1 Kings 11:3
He had 700 wives, princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart.
Genesis 2:24
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
1 Timothy 3:2
Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
Deuteronomy 17:17
And he shall not acquire many wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, nor shall he acquire for himself excessive silver and gold.
1 Timothy 3:12
Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.
Titus 1:6
If anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination.
Matthew 19:4-6
He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
And the list goes on... it is clear hat it was never God's original intention to have men marry muktiple women. It's a result of greed and sin.

Did uou not read how it negatively effected them? God's design is for one man and one woman to be together. God's tolerance wasn't His acceptance, just like how God tolerates our sins doesn't mean He approves or accepts it. Men back in the day could not control their flesh/lust, that's why they had multiple wives. Also it would cause anger and jealousy, why do you think most women are divorcing a cheating husband these days? Men also would not tolerate their wife having multiple men on the side either. Both genders hate an adulterous spouse and do not lije the idea of sharing their spouse when it's suppose to be an exclusive union. Read the story about what happened to David and his affair with bathsheba. Read how jealous Sarah was of hagar..
I know there's gonna be a whole lot of hate on this and I don't care. Religion is a cancer on society. Case in point. They will always find something in the fictitious book to justify their evil deeds. The worst ones always recite something out of their fictitious book. But ask yourself this. What kind of "God" would ask a man to kill his only child to show legion to him? What kind of "God" would wipe out a complete culture just because they don't see things the way he does. To me that sounds demonic and people are following blindly with absolutely no evidence other than what some king wrote to control the masses. Truth be known Hebrew can not be translated and still mean the same thing. Words are added to the fairytale book so unless you can read Hebrew then it's a lie. You can not argue against facts. Yet there are those who will try. Also "Jesus" is not his name but was a title. Also where did the blonde hair blue eyed dude magically appear in the middle east? These people have absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever. Here's another question. For the "chosen" society why do they need our help with murdering those who they have fought for centuries with? Seems to me their "God" would have ended this centuries ago. Especially after wiping out other cultures. You can part the sea but can't defeat the Palestinians. WTF🤨. These people need mental help.
Polygamy was never part of the plan. Due to the socio-political circumstances that some of them had to endure in their day, their multi-wife arrangements were tolerated; but not celebrated. There's a huge difference.
In our modern world, it's insane why we should expect God to even tolerate such an arrangement. Our industrialist greed creating a world where we can barely hold together one household and one marriage without significant stress begets implication of things we need to eliminate from our modern society. Doing so should be our focus first; not debating how many spouses is "too many."
That discussion shouldn't even be a thought in our minds, until we horrorcore-reverse Lawrence - and reduce the divorce rate to something like 5%. The current divorce rate is stupidly high. Which means our modern society - and those who make it that way - frankly suck.
If our heads were on right, not only would we not desire polygamy; but sites like OnlyFans wouldn't exist! Founders of such sites, especially if they have chomo origins, would have their heads on pikes, not be free to create armies of "thots" and "simps" dragging civilization down into lower and ever lower levels of stupid!

I found it really strange about Christian men and women. They would have a secret affair then to be in polyamorous relationship.
As a Muslim, I wouldn't cheat but I would be happy if my wife is okay with a second wife. I would always keep her as number one and do justice to her.
And I actually talked to some couples who were happy they have a third wheel. They all are happy together. So, if it's not just about getting a young girl for lust then I suppose Christian couples should not think bad about the entire situation.
P. S. I know a Christian man from Europe who divorced 3 times and still close with his previous wives. His current wife doesn't complain either)). So stop being rigid
since the collision between feminism and the sexual revolution occurred some 50+ years ago, this is probably the way to go. the gap between the rich and poor is getting wider, women's standards for men are getting unrealistically higher and most aren't happy when they're not with their 1st option so they might as well be happy with their 1st option, even if it means sharing him.
as far the rest of the undesirable men, there's a possible war coming up with China, North Korea, Russia or whoever and because the military won't be drafting women, they'll just conscript all the lonely men out there and sent them to throw their life away for a country that sees them as expendable.
so ladies and attractive men, why not just unleash your inner polygamy and hypergamy without restraint? we're heading that way anyway.
As of some decades ago, in my country it was kind of expected of successful and wealthy men to have to take mistresses as an "open secret", and that was usually tolerated by their wives.
This because it was seen that they should have "shared" part of their wealth with more women and by consequence, their families.
Both my grandfather and my father were practicing Christians and had several women and some children outside marriages. I don't judge them, but perhaps it's a coincidence that I only attend Mass as a perfunctory gesture and am not interested in other women. In my opinion, it's simply not worth the hassle.
High quality men are usually in the average earning box. That means, their resources to provide for more than one wife is just not there. Unless the women are willing to carry some load in providing for the family, it is a good way for the man to die young due to stress.
I doubt you will find enough "christian" wives for this purpose.
In reality every attractive girl could keep a bunch of sex slaves if she wanted to. A religious nutter who thinks he is the giga macho is more invisible for an attractive girls than vacuum.I think it depends on how much charisma and money these high-quality Christian men have. That's a load of multitasking. You gotta be in a top position at your job as I see it where you can be like, "Just do that" and people are like, "Yessir!" Then you're like, "I'm going home now. I got four wives."
By quality men you mean money and position based on these photos (apart from game of thrones, why was that used?).
Look lots of those girls would have married a different guy if their society hadn't pushed them into it. Some look really young with old guys, it seems so forced i can't see why anyone wouldn't question it.
Can women have multiple husbands, a nice responsible one and a couple of young fitness models for sex and fun? - i bet not.
If it only works one way, good chance its wrong really.
I think in those days God had told the people to be fruitful and multiply, so more wives would be needed to do so. In the cause of multiplying the thought is the more, the merrier. These days, less is more. I think 8 billion people means we multiplied like rabbits and now we need less, or less is more. Kind of reminds me of a grave stone on Boot Hill.

No less, no more.
Why not have multiple wives keeps the man from straying away. Keeps him faithful to his multiple wives. The purpose of multiple lies back in the day was to bring fourth a great generation of strong stalwart people. God does not allow us to have more than one wife today. Ask the women from Muslim countries if they're happy with their man and ask the men if they are happy with their wives. Have you ever been around a bunch of women that are pissed off at you at the same time? I can barely keep one happy versus six more.
Moses and Jesus said NO, therefore, NO POLY lifestyle. Do not condone that lifestyle with such a blatant misrepresentation of Biblical era men who VIOLATED the Word of God.
We are to be in the secular world but not of it. One either knows and loves God’s way or knows and loves the ways’ of the world.
The misrepresentation is one of a false teacher who needs to read Book of James.Well the bible also says to follow the laws of the land... and since polygamy is illegal... no.
Oh come on. The bible was written by men, of course it will benefit men. I will write a book which says women should take multiple men and then use it to prove my point.
Look you can have your kinks etc. but don't act like you're doing something good. Go have your threesome and call it a day and not pretend you're doing god's work.
If he can’t give attention to one because he’s faithfully married to the brotherhood of cod
and if he can’t watch a “mini-me” because he needs to get the milk… then I don’t think he’ll have time for a second lady lol
who would this ideally benefit?
him? Her? The kids? Lol
No, because then they'd be taking them from high quality agnostics and other good men who aren't Christian. If you could guarantee ONLY the evil and low quality men had no women... then maybe. But that's impossible. Plus, women should have a choice, and I don't see any high quality women agreeing to being one of many wives. So we'd only have a harem of disgusting women, and what's the point of that?
No. The standard God set in Eden with the first marriage was that of monogamy. Jesus Christ later reaffirmed that standard for his followers.
When asked about marriage, Jesus said: “He who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh.’”—Matthew 19:4, 5.
One of Jesus’ disciples was later inspired by God to write: “Let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband.” (1 Corinthians 7:2) The Bible also states that any married man in the Christian congregation who is given special responsibilities must be “a husband of one wife.”—1 Timothy 3:2, 12.
So Christian options are either singleness or monogamy. Either is perfectly acceptable to God. (1 Corinthians 7:8, 9) Polygamy, though, is quite out of the question.
Men MAY take several wives, but they don’t have to. I’ve even read that Jesus had twelve wives. Just because Adam had just one known wife (Eve), doesn’t mean all Xtians should.
Not this shit again. Mormon polygamy is unnatural.
Everybody knows the RIGHT way to be polyamorous is to fuck two (or more) strung out hoes after a wild night of partying.
But don't fucking marry them!
Not sure what the kids from modern family have to do with this
"High quality Christian men?" What in the hell are you on?
The way girls treat guys nowadays why the hell not , if one is bitching move on to the next and then let them all bitch together and keep your ass out of it lol
