Polygamy & the Bible

[matthewnathaliesmythe]

Yup! Also, we see how polygamy is a decision not birthed out of love but vain lust (Lamech from the line of Cain), fear (Sarai's idea), deception (Leah's situation because of human culture), etc.

Good video. Plz make more. Hope and pray for those that don't listen. God bless

Thank you! The Historical Narratives with multiple marriages are descriptive but not consistently prescriptive. Such is the case with polygamy in the Bible.

[MrsRildaReads]

So well said! Some passages are descriptive, and some are prescriptive. Polygamy is a description of behavior that God did not prescribe. He's so good and He's better than we know!

Competition, Divison and Suffering, explains most marriages. Wife competes with the Husband, they are divided over finances or how raise the children and there is much Suffering on the mans part. In fairness, men may suffer more in monogamous Marriages because one single wife has all the leverage over the man.

Do I dare read comments lol. A topic in need of even more discussion.

[thekingdomway]

Is there a link tonthe full talk or episode?

[Mr.PodNPlay]

Ah man I was literally just thinking about this topic and how a lot of our men in culture now try and use polygamy in the Bible and to justify having “options”

And in the garden
Adam and eve was what Hod made yet look at the fruit
Your logic is broken

[BlackMoon]

Polygamy it's so bad for women...

[ageofdecadence]

"in almost every single case"
"In every case there's usually"
Sounds like youre saying there are outlyers.
Something to consider.

Really ah Abraham did not sell his wife and remember she is a member of his household. Further what was the order of Pharaoh that any beautiful woman come across the border to take and if married to kill the husband. That why he said say that you are my sister and what happen to Pharaoh and his house leprous trouble and what dud Pharaoh do gifts wealth and one of his own daughters hagar. So who was wicked. And what about Jacob 4 wives from which the children of Israel emerged . You can have strive with one wife so your purified version does not wash....

Polygamy is not a sin!

Many polygomose marriages have fights.
Many one wife marriages 💍 end in divorce.
Therfore polygamy is not the common denominator; istead the wrong human behaviour is the problem.

Polygamy does not bring problems in a marriage, it is human behavior that creates problems. The women 💃 in a polygamy bring Envy, division... and competion in the marrige which lead to divorce.

Today most men are married to one women 💃 but the is still envy, division... and competition between the couple 👬 which leads to the high divorce rate.

The Moroms had polygyny in America and they are the most peaceful state in the nation

[mel]

Dude the divorce rate at 42% and quickly approaching 50%. Get real!

[JesseChasteen]

Polygyny is actually better for women. Monogamy is better for low status mwn because it ensures them a partner, although today most times those partners usually cheat with higher status men anyway

[eastgate]

Nobody ever mentions Joash and rehoboam peaceful multiwife relationship

[JesseChasteen]

Biblically ignorant. The first couple were monogamous as far as we know and how did that work out? 😂. You called popygyny sin but God doesn't. He actualy wrote laws to govern polygyny

[soulstades]

This man is novice to the word of God not one time did God call multiple wives a sin and God calls out all sin he fears no man

This seems just like a personal stand point. Instead of specific historical text I feel you on the delivery but work on conveying the text more that your opinion on the topic.
