Polygamy; is it sinful?

Post by Bluejay4 »

I'm personally neutral on the matter but I'm curious as to if scripture ever explicitly condemns the practice of polygamy.

John 5:24

Thinking about your future wives wife? ;)

Kidding! :P

God permitted it for awhile but it was never his original intention for marriage.
