1 | can a man have more than one wife? | Matt 19:5 | Corban | 110493 | ||
First, God tells us that TWO will become ONE flesh, not "two or more". This supports monogamy well. Also, in EPH 5, Jesus teaches us that marriage is akin to Christ and his relationship with the church. This can only support monogamy, sice there would have to be different religions to chose from otherwise.However, the most compelling answer is found in 1 Tim. This is where it specifically teaches us that elders (pastors, leaders, etc..) MUST have but one wife. Further reading leads to the conclusion that all relationships are to be monogomous.

Romans 10:9 if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved (NIV) Works are not required for salvation, which is why this question gets asked often. Prayer, however, is not a "work", it is something that you do as part of your relationship with God. Would you carry on a relationship with youe spouse, but NEVER speak to them? In His Service, Brian |
