Very difficult to balance gender issues. Some of this ideas will soon be turned on their heads, Kenya already has, even if it makes sense to most to keep one wife even through history, it is not Biblical, it was formed by the English "Anglo-Saxon" ruling class to keep wealth amongst the wealthy, this is how it even found it's way to our laws as a crime called "bigamy", a law many could not understand, in most other cultures, from African, to Chinese, Middle Eastern, even Francophone condone other wives or at least mistresses and concubines, what matters is the happiness of the wives and concubines, not gender balancing.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7
1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

King James Version



How about 2 Samuel 12:7-8

Then Nathan said to David, You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I anointed you king of Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.

And I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added that much again.

I always find it funny how people love to jump at the 'sins' of David and the mistakes of Solomon, as if people now days are even close to their levels of spirituality!
They were the holiest of flesh and blood kings.

I remember a scripture.

'All things are good, but not all things are profitable.'
God's gifts and blessings to man are given to profit withal.

It's common sense. Not everything is biblical. Most things are simple common sense....and like we all know, it's not very common!


Hmm? Which would lead one to which conclusion in this matter? Me thinks the commonsensical way to think is that as long as everyone involved is happy then... suit yourself! It is possible to have only one and be completely hopeless about it. It is also possible, I think, to have several and do a good job of it. Ama?

In Matt 25: 1-13 Jesus talks of one bride groom landing five virgins who were carrying lamps!

The fact that he used that in one of his parables shows a clear support for polygamy if you ask me!

Not that I support it myself!
