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.
Not one passage denies multiple wives. In fact most of the biblical Patriarchs and prophets had multiple wives.
No they didn't. They might have had some woman to have a child for him to carry on his blood line when his wife was too old to bear one, like Sarah was. But they had one wife.
@Daniela1982 read the bible
Genesis 4:19
Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah.
Genesis 28:9
and Esau went to Ishmael, and married, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.
Genesis 28:9
and Esau went to Ishmael, and married, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.
Genesis 30:3-5
She said, “Here is my maid Bilhah, go in to her that she may bear on my knees, that through her I too may have children.” So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her. Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
Judges 8:30
Now Gideon had seventy sons who were his direct descendants, for he had many wives.
The thing that's the CLEAREST is that there's conflicting information. It's the Bible - nothing new about that.
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..
God said go forth and multiply. David affair with bathsheba was wrong because she had a husband, a husband David sent to his death because he lusted for his wife. Also how many women out there are willing to be a sidechick or put up with a cheating husband because they don't want the didechick to get him
Yes he told Adam and eve to be fruitful and multiple to fill the earth. That does not mean for one man to go around spreading himself and his seed to multiple women, but have as many children as possible with his wife. The side woman already has him the moment he decides to step out on his marriage, today it doesn't seem like many women are willing to put up with it since they have means to walk away from such men/relationships.
Adam had two wives...
No he didn't, where in Genesis did you read that? Don't twist God's word to fit your own ideas.
Adam's first wife was lilith
There is nothing in the Bible that speaks about a woman named lillith. Eve is Adam's only wife, you need to becatefulnwith reading doctrines that are outside of the Bible/God's word. That is how people get easily deceived. Don't take or add to the Bible.
Read how Moses family did not accept him taking a second wife and God punished them.
Where did you find that father Adam had two wives? Interesting theory though?
@Pudsmucker there is a short part later on that mentions Lillith. If you read other bibles they mention Lillith and how she was jealous of Eve.
@Havthrills I'm always interested in things learning about other scriptures. I have a Quran, and a Torah. I would like to know which Bible, book chapter and verse. I think it would be quite interesting in the readings.
@Pudsmucker I'll have to look again. On a very quick look I found some references.

Religion isn't real peoplep0!
USLegionary Non of that ever happened or existed we came from 🦧.
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.
Blonde hair blue eyed Jesus was an interpretation of Jesus that Scandinavian and northern Europeans had of Jesus. You may as well be asking the Chinese where Chinese Jesus came from, same as Japanese Jesus or African Jesus or Indian Jesus.
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!
The Bible describes the kind of society it happens in... for example Isaiah 4:1. Sounds a lot like how we are today. Women with their own money all desperate for select men. It's not my place to doubt God.
@bamesjond0069 : Good eye. Isaiah 4. Every time I point out how we're just as bad as the Judeans immediately before the Chaldeans took them as captives and destroyed the temple, the drooling nitwits of Facebook laugh it off. Archeological dig after dig, and they still crow that the Chaldean Empire, and all nations it conquered, are as real as Cinderella.
Impossible to reason with them when they are that willfully ignorant. So if/when China comes in and puts their heads to stump grinders, they shouldn't expect much sympathy from me.
@bamesjond0069 what do you mean by "desperate for select men." I can make my assumption but not sure if im right
@Angryfrog there are many men however they are not ones women want. Women only want a small proportion of men. So while a large portion of men are simping OF girls... those same girls are all simping for a handful of men. That's the "desperate for select men" I'm talking about.

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
Christianity by in large used to allow polygamy they changed I believe because there wasn't enough wives for everyone
Just don't do it out of lust and beauty but for emotional support and happiness 😊. I heard of a guy whose wife couldn't give children so I think it is perfectly fair if they both agree on having a young guy. Or a second wife when the man gets ill and the two wives help each other out and the husband.
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.
More a case of women being willing to do with less. Modern women all expect that Kardashian lifestyle
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.
An attractive girl could keep a bunch of sex slaves but let's be honest attractive women generally aren't intrested in beta males
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."
Agreed. You have to be able to find more than one woman willing to be loyal and share you.
I'm thinking that's tough enough but the whole lifestyle is epic. Guy has to be like a king in my opinion. Especially as his women start to have kids, unless he has servants to take care of that on top of the women, and he still has to do his job, that's some epic multitasking stuff. I always thought one is enough for me that way. And I was still a way better worker before that.
For the job side, I'm thinking you got to find one that pays awesome. But at the same time, you don't have to work too hard, like 40 hours/week okay, not 80+. And not a job you take home too much because you have to distribute mind across 3+ women. It is mostly that type of job that I think is hard. It is like CEO who can work almost part-time.
That's the thing about having a wife let alone multiple wives if you have servants such a gardeners, pool boy even construction workers on your property well your wife or wives may end up being f*cked by them. I used to work as a mowing lawns and as a pool boy in my youth for some pretty wealthy men and I f*cked a few of the wives, daughters too and some of the female staff they had.
What I see with the Mormon wives is that they usually have average looking women maybe 1 or 2 really good looking women and a fat or fugly wife that gets sent out to work to earn money.
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.
Here lies Lester Moore
Four shots from a 44
No less, no more.
Yes genesis 35 :11 fits this. As father of israelites he was instructed to increase so had 4. Others not a sin but better just one.
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.
I think multiple wives keep each other in check.
So all of you single women would you be willing to share your man with another woman?
"God does not allow us to have more than one wife today." So he changed his mind? Strange... he never told me about it.
"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." That's your failing. Maybe YOU shouldn't have more than one woman, or even one woman. Some men can keep a multitude of women in line and satisfied.
Well the bible also says to follow the laws of the land... and since polygamy is illegal... no.
No longer... you may as well try to make casual sex or cheating ilegal.
Separation of church and state, religious folks don't believe the government really needs to validate marriages. That's why religious people marry in a church, mosque, synagogue, temple etc.
You realise in this country in some states its legal to marry a donkey...
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.
Where did moses say no? Also Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon, Esau, Ezri, Gideon, Celeb. Virtually every biblical patriarch had multiple wives.
Jesus never mentioned multiple wives.
Dude read your Bible... I'll start from the Old Testament Beginning for you before Abraham. Genesis 1:27 and 7:9 God created them male/female and two by two male/female went into the ark.
(Genesis 2:24) "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined with his wife, and they shall become one flesh.:, therefore, Poly marriage is the sole conception and work of sinful men. To do Poly is to be at enmity with God as a fornicator and committer of Adultery... please refer to Mt. Sinai, YHWH, Moses, and 10 Commandments as well.
--In the core of the Decalogue Deuteronomy 17:17 says :And he shall not acquire many wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, nor shall he acquire for himself excessive silver and gold. And the secular Romans too declared Polygamy as immoral and forbidden less the Israel homeland.
NOW if you are a New Testament saint:
Keep reading.

You can't just add stuff to sacred texts
IS THAT ALL YOU GOT... NOT. You're a joke !!!
You have no sense of Sacred and Holy nor do you know how to use your Bible. The parentheses are supported by the Creation scriptures and The Law provided you.
You are a sad example of one who is not Saved by Grace as your Works confirm such when compared to the Word of God... and clearly given over to your lusts and immorality.
I GOT IT... The Alzheimer set in and what you kept hidden and bottled in the Narcissist Cavern of abyss... You can't control your "truth" in thoughts any longer.
I could litteraly spend all day quoting God's Patriarchs, prophets, judges and saints on the matter.
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.
My question is why isn't this men locked up inside a senior facility or not taking his meds?
I am guessing he has Dementia.
How come his family do not take is mental care seriously?
It's what I'm wondering.
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
Also I feel need to critique these photos lol
1.) the girl on the far right looks left out and premature or something
2.) it’s freakishly odd how the male in the photo is the only one smiling, and there are twin girls there, to also take note of
3.) They honestly all look related in my opinion 😂😬
4.) Thats just an old school cat walk after they all collectively burned their mate
5.) those two girls look, if not deeply in love with him, are very fond of him.. and JEALOUS of each other lol
6.) they’re either just lesbians or good friends- I say good friends
Lol I love your commentary. Also, all of those photos are cringe.
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.
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?
"Plus, women should have a choice..." AND "... and I don't see any high quality women agreeing to being one of many wives." Why not just allow women to choose? Why is your opinion relevant if you believe women should choose?
Your question is answered by my statement that you are asking the question about. Did you just not comprehend what I was saying?
The point is pretty obvious when you think about it. If men choose, then bad men will take all the women for themselves (like what happens in Iran and similar evil countries). The only way to optimize good men getting wives is by letting women choose since they will choose average or good guys at most just as often as they choose bad guys.
"The only way to optimize good men getting wives is by letting women choose since they will choose average or good guys at most just as often as they choose bad guys."
Women actually prefer polygyny. Yes women would and do choose to share a man before dating down if those are the options... and they are the options. Make no mistake about it.
And what if they did? Would you accept that?
What do you even call a high quality woman?
I would definitely accept it if multiple women were fine all being my girlfriends and/or wives at once. But can you honestly say you think I could pull that off? I'd love to think so, but unless you can tell me how, I doubt it. Even then, my guess is the girls would all be sluts and would cheat on me daily, so I'd be a mega cuck. Plus, one woman is enough headache, so who the hell wants more to deal with? If I knew a way to have several girls I like as wives, I'd be doing it. But I've been single for 7 years, so clearly I haven't cracked the code to find even one. Most girls are so low quality now, I don't even bother.
I consider high quality to be virgins (or close to it), who aren't fat. That's the simplest version of that answer. But that accounts for what, 1% of the population at most?
@Weapon77 "But can you honestly say you think I could pull that off?" I don't know you but based off your post then no I dont think you could.
"Plus, one woman is enough headache, so who the hell wants more to deal with?" Multiple women are much easier to deal with.
"... high quality to be virgins (or close to it), who aren't fat." At its most basic definition I agree. I'd also add youthful.
Where I disagree is that high quality women do prefer to share a man over dating down. But low quality do as well. Essentially all categories of women prefer to share over dating down. The fact you think high quality women don't prefer this is the same reason why you "... haven't cracked the code to find even one". You literally haven't cracked the code. You try to anticipate women's actions as if they were men. They are not. They behave as women do. Which is different.
I don't think you understand how many high quality girls I have as friends and relatives. There is no way in hell they'd stand for being one of multiple girlfriends or wives. They would leave their husband or boyfriend in a heart beat if he starting adding wives or girlfriends. And because they are such great ladies, they'd find a new guy easily. What high quality women have told you they want to be part of a harem because I've never seen any evidence for that. I'm just amazed that either you are either getting some wild ideas from somewhere, or you live in a completely different world from me because on my area, the only girls who will be faithful to only one guy and put up with him having multiple girls are fat and ugly. How are you finding these women? Because I've only found legions of fat and/or insane girls who will date me at once, which disgusts me, or I've found like a dozen pretty attractive whores who will definitely fuck me, along with the other dozen guys in their own harem. All I've seen is rampant polyamory where women are living it up while guys are getting cucked. I'm having a hard time believing anyone who isn't a millionaire can have multiple women at once who AREN'T cheating on them with other guys. Even most rich men with young, hot wives get cheated on vigorously since the women are usually gold diggers who use the rich guy for his money while fucking young, hot guys. Pro athletes are about the only super rich guys who avoid this since they are really hot themselves. Pro athletes have huge harems.
That's because you don't or have not ASKED them. This is typical. Men who claim they respect women actually deep down do not respect them. Think for a second. Do men have weird fetishes? Yes. Women do as well and one common one is to be owned and controlled as part of a harem. Step one for having a harem is ask and ye shall receive. If one never asks, one will never get.
Pro athletes and rich dudes do get cucked all the time. It's not money that makes a harem although it can help.
I currently have one girlfriend 16 years younger than me and was a virgin. I have a second girlfriend who is 32 and earns significant income still low body count for her age. And I'm talking to a 21 yo college student virgin. All about 8s on the objective scale of looks.
I'm 100% sure you are capping, but I guess I'm happy for you haha Although my money is on you not telling any of the girls you jave other girls, which just means you are cheating. It doesn't count as having a harem or anything cool like that.
I'll start asking, but like I said, you cappin. No way in fuck I'm getting a bunch of hot babes to be faithful to me. They date me, sure, but they'll with with Tyrone and Chad too 😆 I'll get used for money likely. The only way anyone is pulling of multiple gfs is by NOT TELLING ANY OF THEM YOU HAVE OTHER GFS.
My two girlfriends we have threesomes together all the time. Ones more shy so when I date new girls she doesn't involve herself but the other likes to fuck any pretty girl I bring to the house and tbh I'm a busy boy. I tell every girl. How else do I explain the girls at my house smdh.
And I don't know why you think I wouldn't tell them? The more girls a man gets the more girls want him. It's super attraction. The college virgin said she's waiting for marriage, then I told her about my 2 gfs which hit her up on snap and said he's all that and a bag of chips and she's hitting me up saying she won't wait till marriage as long as I'm serious about her. Smh. But I knew this already.
I date good girls but I love me strippers and shit just for fun. Which it's sport to try and bag a new girl weekly. Or make up some silly goal for myself.
Oh, I see now. The bisexual girl and some others are definitely cuckolding you. You find girls with low moral standards and just sleep around with sexual perverts and sluts. Yeah, I know that is possible! Your choice I guess. Enjoy while you can I guess lol STIs will probably get you eventually, but it'll be fun until then. I'm gonna stay away from that shit lmao
How does she cuckold me? She stays in the house and just cooks and cleans and masterbates all day basically. I'd see if she left or had guests since I have a security camera.
And this is why you don't even have one woman when you put down what you called a high quality woman attractive young virgin... for having a fantasy fetish whatever that's completely common and normal. What kind of woman would want to date you at all? Hmmm
I'm assuming the kind of woman I have and do go out with would want to date me lmao You know, the ones who have only had sex with their boyfriends, so they've only been with like 3-5 guys? The ones that are bisexual sickos (even though bisexual girls love me for some reason). Girls who don't smoke and drink all day (even though smokers and alkies love me for some reason). I have tons of girls after me, but why would I go for any of the sluts with red flags? Nah, I'll stick to the good girls. But you have inspired me to start trying to play the field more instead of only dating one of them at a time. Since I'm already good at finding one good girl at a time, maybe I can start adding more to the mix.
Not sure what the kids from modern family have to do with this
Hollywood
Yeah so?
You know luke ain't just holding them pretending he's their pimp
You’re right you’ve cracked the great secret. Not only is he pretending he’s their pimp, he’s also their friend who he worked with for a decade
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.
“When you come to the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you possess it and dwell in it and then say, ‘I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,’... And he shall not acquire many wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, nor shall he acquire for himself excessive silver and gold” (Deuteronomy 17:14, 17).
“Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money” (1 Timothy 3:2).
“Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well” (1 Timothy 3:12).
Romans 13:1-2 says: “Obey the government, for God is the One who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the law of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow.”
So if you live in the United States, Canada, or Europe. Bigamy is illegal
Most of Gods Patriarchs, prophets, judges and Kings had multiple wives, even Adam.
Read the bible
Genesis 4:19
Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah.
Genesis 28:9
and Esau went to Ishmael, and married, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.

Judges 8:30
Now Gideon had seventy sons who were his direct descendants, for he had many wives.
Even while allowing polygamy, the Bible presents monogamy as the plan that conforms most closely to God’s ideal for marriage. The Bible says that God’s original intention was for one man to be married to only one woman: “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife [not wives], and they will become one flesh [not fleshes]” (Genesis 2:24). While Genesis 2:24 is describing what marriage is, rather than how many people are involved, the consistent use of the singular should be noted. In Deuteronomy 17:14-20, God says that the kings were not supposed to multiply wives (or horses or gold). While this cannot be interpreted as a command that the kings must be monogamous, it can be understood as declaring that having multiple wives causes problems. This can be clearly seen in the life of Solomon (1 Kings 11:3-4).
In the New Testament, 1 Timothy 3:2, 12 and Titus 1:6 give “the husband of one wife” in a list of qualifications for spiritual leadership. There is some debate as to what specifically this qualification means. The phrase could literally be translated “a one-woman man.” Whether or not this phrase is referring exclusively to polygamy, in no sense can a polygamist be considered a “one-woman man.” While these qualifications are specifically for positions of spiritual leadership, they should apply equally to all Christians. Should not all Christians be “above reproach... temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money” (1 Timothy 3:2-4)? If we are called to be holy (1 Peter 1:16), and if these standards are holy for elders and deacons, then they are holy for all.
@suzzieQ The first one talks about a king not taking TOO MANY wives. A few, like David had, is fine. Furthermore, its author, Moses, had several wives, I’ve heard. The others doesn’t say ONLY one wife. It just says one wife, which means that every man must be married. Who wrote them, Paul, who never even met Yeshua and twisted His words? Many Xtians even forget the mitzvot. They eat pork, work on Saturdays, and wear polyester. Ain’t Utah allows polygyny? It matters not, nevertheless, as I live in Africa.
Utah basically ignored it as long as it wasn't out in the open. Once they realised that you can't go after Mormons for plural marraige and not go after guys with 2nd families, sidechicks etc
no you weren't because webster defines bigamy as " the act of entering into a marriage with one person while still legally married to another"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bigamy
Getting married to a person while already married to another that is not aware of the currant marriage is not only bigamy but also adultery
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!
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
"High quality Christian men?" What in the hell are you on?
He is mentally unstable.
I looked up the countries where polygamy is either legal and accepted, or technically illegal but tolerated. I wouldn't choose to live in any of them! I know some Christians who practice this but are not married by the state. To the outside world, it looks like co-habitation or some weird polyamory. To the participants, it's a multiple marriage in a Christian setting. I don't see anything wrong with it if all the participants can handle it and want to do it.
"Christian man" and "high quality" are mutually exclusive
Poly lifestyle should be allowed.
because it should be up to couples how they want to live.
slowly polygamy is moving to be legalize.
as polyamorous is becoming popular
It is illegal, and what is this "high quality" crap? People are not slabs of meat.
It's not ilegal
Currently have a long term girlfriend. A new girlfriend of a few months and talking to two other women. Yes. This makes total sense. Women prefer to share a desirable man than to have a bum to themselves.
I see many people post about how difficult it is. It's not. in my opinion it's easier than one woman.
No one should be allowed to have more than one spouse
so instead of him losing half his assets to a fucked up gender biased court system he loses everything "great" idea <<< sarcasm
Legally only one marriage is recognised but still there's child support. Women are more likely to stay if they are competing with other women for a man's attention.
Out of the twenty wives only two (maybe three) has actual smiles, two with fake smiles and the rest has the WTF am I here look
I don't care. If you find women who are into that, sure. It's your religion.
That's called "bigamy" and most will goto jail for it, these days.
Also, most of them "HQ Christian men" turn out to be cultists and abusers.
Bigamy is where you legally marry multiple women without their knowledge. Plural marraige is where you take multiple wives with their knowledge while not including the government. Its no less legal than a married man having kids with a sidechick.
High Quality Christian men are men women desire to be with.
The good ones shouldn't "Timothy 3:12 Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well."
Jesus pretty much answered this in Mark 10. A "High Quality" Christian man would have read it.
No that will cause an instability in society. And people who think they are better is just causing conflicts.
No, just because someone in the Bible did it doesn’t mean it is ideal.
No Because such acts are displeasing to God an Shows a lack of restraint/morals. King Solomon destroyed his kingdom.
God destroyed Solomon's kingdom because of his sin of allowing other God's to be worshiped in Israel. It was split in two between the northern kingdom of Samaria (Samartians) and the southern kingdom of judea (jews).
@USLegionary And where do you think those other "gods" came from? From all of his bitches.
Solomon may have been wise to a certain degree, but he wasn't wise enough to know to stay away from foreign women.
Well if there religious beliefs are really strong and believe in the bible who has the right to say otherwise.
Who said that the patriarch gets married? The bishop and the patriarch remain unmarried, sacrificing their lives for God. As for polygamy, this is present and heard by Muslims. Pay attention and make sure of the source of your information
English not your first language?
The Patriarchs in the bible generally refers to Abraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob. Patriarch generally refers to the male head of the family as well, so your father would have been the patriarch of your family maybe. This is where feminists get the "patriarchy" out of and why the Catholic and Orthodox Churches refer to their leaders as Patriarchs.
1-That's right, it's not my mother tongue I understood what you meant by saying that the rank of patriarch or bishop in the church gets married, or something like that. What is the relationship of Christ's grandfather Abraham and his son Isaac to your question? In any case, you can be sure of the information that you get from the Orthodox Church. As for the Catholic Church, I think it has a relationship with the Jews and Freemasonry because it offends the principles of Christians, for example, it encourages and legalizes same-sex marriage, and this is the opposite of what the Bible said. I am not biased towards my sect, but the Orthodox are part of the group. The first ecumenism is from the descendants of Christ's disciples. You can know the translation of the word (Orthodox) is a Greek word that means straight-minded, that is, they do not change the basic teachings and keep walking in the footsteps of Christ
Possibly. Most of them don't look happy and one guy is going bald. Is it worth it?
One woman is enough to keep up with in my opinion lol
Why? So they can get divorced more than once? Marriage is already a shit deal for men. You don't need to multiply it. If you want to have more than one chick at a time, knock yourself out. Just don't be stupid and marry them.
Stop the cap. LOL
All I know is that you include pics of trannies in every single post.
Um... so let me get this straight. You believe the patriarchs of the Bible (ex. Abraham) were "high quality"? Really? Are you sure about that?
if it's okay by GOD then i'm okay with it. you can't go against the bible
Hell no, one wife is hard enough. They would gang up on me and stab my ass
If you "take" multiple wives, then you are NOT a high quality Christian man.
Look at how angry some of those women look with that older guy 😂.
Absolutely not.
Because of sexual revolution we would probably come back to Christian roots.
I don't know why a guy would want more than one wife. One woman telling me all I'm doing wrong is enough. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm a Christian, and I don't have multiples of wives... little alone 1 wife.
NO. Stop trolling, there’s a good kind and there’s a bad kind
Sure you do whatever you want 😂
Should their wives take multi husbands?
The bible punished that.
Not for me
No they should not
Correction!
You mean The Mormon's
Religion was invented. None of this is real their is always a scientific explanation for everything.
People decided to invent religion for the cash.
When we die we aren't nothing!
How many times the doctor had to inject insane people for believing nonsense that the world is ending and how the anti Christ YaDa yada. Made up fairy tale.
