Subject: Pologomy Allowed? |
Bible Note: I believe the original writer asked, when did Polygamy end? I will pose the question when did polygamy BEGIN? It was not part of God's original plan... He created one man and one woman, "and the two became one." Therefore at the creation God joined one husband to one wife. Polygamy began with Lemech. Genesis 4 17 Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech. 19 Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. Hence the Scripture does enlighten us as to God's original plan of matrimony, and how man chose his own way. Polygamy is man's creation. -khuck |
