It is interesting to know that men married to one woman are the ones who are advocating for polygamy. If polygamy is good for others, they should first start before giving advice. Don’t recommend the food you have not eaten as best to others.
The argument that polygamy is for rich men is neither here nor there. There are many rich and wealthy men who are married to one woman and have no plans for polygamy.
It is also an insult to think women can not take care of themselves, and the only way to do that is to get a man to marry them. God has blessed both men and women to make wealth. To earn money or a living one needs to get a skill, vocation or profession, of which women have access to.
Marriage is God’s design or idea, and if you wish to get married, it’s best you do it His way. Many marriages struggle or fail because people are not willing to do it God’s way or for the lack of knowledge and understanding of how God designed marriage.
Genesis 2:22-25 proved marriage is God’s idea, and He designed it monogamous (one man, one woman). God is not a man, and because somebody has a closed relationship with God, it does not make the person God. The people in scripture who practice polygamy are not God, and they suffer for their choices because they did not follow the pattern and design of God.
I wonder why people keep asking which scripture is against polygamy when God did not create marriage polygamy. Between creator and creation, who must obey the other? Anytime a creation functions differently from the purpose and design of the creator, such creation is malfunctioning and needs fixing. Instead of asking which scripture is against polygamy, look for scripture that confirms God created marriage as monogamous.
If you wish not to marry God’s way, that is your problem, but advocating people to go for polygamy as a man of God does not make you a proper man of God. For a true man of God will point people to how God designed marriage and not how some people in the bible practised marriage.
In conclusion, “Some of you say, “We can do whatever we want to!” But I tell you not everything may be good or helpful” – 1 Corinthians 10:23 (CEV).
