But it seems to me like its more a cultural issue than a biblical one. Jacob, Solomon, and countless other men of God from the Old Testament had more than one wife. I dont think there is anywhere in the bible that the practice is abolished, it seems it was simply the culture that changed. Marriage is a covenant made before God that binds a man and a woman together. It gives them the right to procreate and to share the same household. While in our culture marriage is only between two individuals, I havent read anything in the bible that would lead me to believe that God would frown on a man having several wives in cultures where this is accepted (such as Nigeria). e-mail: webnomad@ziplip.com url: http://www.fpc.net/sites/drifter/ |
