"Is the Bible against polygamy? Absolutely not."
Advertisements [?]

Is polygamy Biblical? Yes and we intend to compare Scripture with Scripture and pray our fellow believers will carefully examine this subject in the same fashion without the coloring of the imbalanced majority position. Please read all on the Polygamy Scriptures link to the right with Bibles and minds open.

Are there Scriptures against polygamy? No, there are not. 1Tim.3:2 and Titus 1:6, two passages which clearly show polygyny was a part of the NT assemblies, are often twisted to argue that the New Testament has cancelled or condemned polygynous marriages. This is a nonsense because Isaiah foretells a day, future to the NT, when men will be in such short supply (Isa.13:12) that seven women will ask one man to marry them. These yet future polygynous marriages will be in the sight of Jehovah, so how can He have abolished it in the NT?:

Isa 4:1-2 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, we will eat our own bread and wear our own clothing; only let us be called by your name, to take away our shame. In that day shall the Branch of Jehovah be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth excellent and comely for those who have escaped from Israel.
