It is forbidden according to the Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter 6, verse 24:
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

I believe that passage was in reference to Money ( or any other thing that might take up all your efforts, like drugs or hobbies). Serving God and Mammon (the god of money) simultaneously is not possible...........But St. Paul did write that you should be the husband of just one wife. Whether this is him speaking or the Holy Spirit, I don't know. He was noted for interjecting his own personal opinions into his instructions to the churches, and admitted so. I have nothing against someone having more than one wife, if they keep God's commandments and truly love and support their families. This guy, though, seems to (my opinion) be hiding pedophilia under the guise of religious teaching..........
