Read the Christian Bible for yourself lazy turkey...
I am sorry, Tennessee Nana, I agree with ravenwolf. You cannot point to scripture condemning polygyny - it isn’t there. God even refers to himself as a polygynist in an example He gave. If He considered it sin, could He refer to HImself that way? Of course not.

LOL! at his answer and your reply. Way to go!
God’s example — Adam and Eve — one man and one woman.
I question your statement above.
May God help you change your mind.
First off, even if the creation of just Adam and Eve suggested monogamy only, and it doesn’t, that is not calling it an abomination. You need to own up. You said the Bible called it an abomination. Where is that?
Second, you can question my statement all you want, or you can go read it for yourself (I won’t call you a lazy turkey or whatever it was you said earlier, nor will I tell you to find it yourself, instead, I will provide it for you):
Jeremiah 31:31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.
In this verse, God says He was a husband to Israel and Judah. If polygyny was sin, He wouldn’t even use this as an example for Himself. He is so magnificent and so great, He cannot describe Himself as something sinful.
My apologies Salvation, you did not call polygyny an abomination, nor did you use the term “lazy turkey”. I made an assumption by the reply that you were Tennessee Mama.
Could it be that you are under a mistaken impression regarding the ancient concept of husbandry/husband-man/shepherd?
What you are seeing is the abortion of the taboo structure to American society. It is a well planned way to destroy what threatens the globalists one world control, because a We The People Republic with a moral base is a threat to the degenerate oligarchs.
How about the fact that these groups always wait until the state they happen to be in agrees with them about ‘gay marriage’ before they will deign to perform marriages for their gay members? I mean come on, that’s a lousy group to belong to. I’m not sure how anyone can really treat them seriously. Your faith believes you can be married no problemo, yet the members in states that don’t recognize ‘gay marriage’ have to twist until the state gives permission. Way to blaze a trail, how courageously inclusive.
Think about what any orthodox Christian group would do if the state declared that they would no longer recognize actual hetero marriage or outlawed baptism or communion or whatever. Have any of these groups actually done that?

I knew that kind of comment might come after my mistake. I have confidence in the Word of God, which is what I am basing my thoughts on. I would ask the same question to you, if you are against polgyny, could it be you are under a mistaken impression?
