What is Biblical Polygyny and is it a Sin? from Bill55's blog

Hello world… What is Biblical Polygyny(BP)? Biblical Polygyny is one man having multiple wives. The reason it is important to have the correct definition is because there are many other forms of multiple/poly relationships/lifestyles and not to confuse the reader. There are many different beliefs, denominations, religions surrounding the Holy Scriptures that some people call the Bible. For those people who say they believe in the Holy Scriptures to be The Truth, my question to them is can they show ONE Biblical law that says Biblical Polygyny is a SIN? No, you cannot … because it is not a sin according to the Biblical laws. 1 John 3:4 Sin is breaking the law. Matter of fact, the Biblical law required Biblical Polygyny under certain circumstances; and in other cases it made provisions for it to be executed (Exodus 21:10, Deuteronomy 21:15-17, Deuteronomy 25:5-10, Deuteronomy 17:17, and Genesis Chapter 29-30. If Biblical Polygyny was a SIN, The Most High (God) would have made a law forbidding it in lieu of supporting its practice. Be fruitful and multiply. Biblical Polygyny was an Eastern custom and societal practice for the Hebrew Israelites all through the history of the Holy Scriptures. Today in this Western culture we practice under a religious Roman Catholicism/Christianity custom which is FORCED monogamy. In 1563 the Roman Catholic Church Council of Trent Canon ll Said it is unlawful to have several wives. Again, Man’s Religion has set these Western culture traditions that are practiced today that came from Rome. Here are some of the men in the Holy Scriptures who practiced Biblical Polygyny: Abraham (The father of faith)Genesis 16:3, Moses (The person that gave us The Law/Torah) Exodus 2:21, Exodus 18:2-5, and Numbers 12:1, Jacob (who had 4 wives and without them we would not have the 12 tribes of Israel or Jesus (Yahshua) who came out of his linage Genesis 29, Genesis 30:4-9, king David (A man after God’s own heart had multiple wives) 1 Samuel 30:5, The Most High gave David his masters wives and if that were not enough He would have given more 2 Samuel 12:8, Elkanah had two wives 1 Samuel 1:2, Gideon Had many wives Judges 8:30, Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines 1 Kings 11:3, Joash did that what is right in the sight of the Lord and took two wives 2 Chronicles 24:1-3, and the list goes on and on. Hopefully you see my point. And my last point about Biblical Polygyny is The Most High (God) had two wives. Ezekiel Parable chapter 23, Israel an Judah Jeremiah 3:6-14, I was a husband unto them Jeremiah 31:31-32. Why would The Most High use this analogy of two wives for Himself if Biblical Polygyny was a Sin.  Even Jesus (Yahshua) himself uses a parable of the 10 virgins not condemning Biblical Polygyny, but affirming it’s practice though a parable in Matthew 25:1-13. Jesus (Yahshua) also spoke on Levirate Marriage which can at times require Biblical Polygyny. Deuteronomy 25:5-6, Mark 12:18-24, Matthew 22:24-29, and Luke 20:28-35. I hope this fines you well as you do your own research and as you seek The Truth….
