Give us the scripture reference then
I know the NT says a church leader (a bishop) should be the husband of one wife. Where is there any condemnation or prohibition other than that?
“I know the NT says a church leader (a bishop) should be the husband of one wife. Where is there any condemnation or prohibition other than that?”
Matthew 6:26 - “No man can serve two masters”
All joking aside, exactly.
In the OT one of the times when polygamy was EXPRESSLY condoned is when a husband died and his wife was childless. In such cases the man’s brother was to take the woman into his house and have have children for his brother by her.
You can make a better case for polygamy in the Bible than you can for divorce; a much better case!
Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon and Hezekiah all had multiple wives.
The verse that was thrown at you clearly implies that some men at the time multiple wives and that it was not ideal, and that is why a bishop/elder/pastor/teacher was required to have only one. However, it doesn’t call polygamy sinful either.
BTW, I only have one wife. If I had two like the one I’ve got I’d have been dead years ago.
