Bible Question:
Greetings Michael! Where exactly does the Bible say that pologomy is allowed? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
Bible Answer: Deuteronomy 17:17 and 1 Timothy 3:2,12 make limitations for certain leaders but there is no out right ban on polygamy in the Bible and polygyny was in practice. Protection is given to the inheritance of the firstborn son born to an unloved wife in Deuteronomy 21:15-17. See the paper "Is Polygamy Sin?" by Rev.
