Polygamy is REFERENCED in the Bible, but NEVER condoned.

“Polygamy is REFERENCED in the Bible, but NEVER condoned.”

It is only condemned for pastors and then not terribly strongly.

I'm not a Morman, so I can't think of all of the examples of multiple wives in the Bible off the top of my head. The biggest example that comes to mind is Abraham, who had his second son by his second wife in their elder years. His first wife was an Arab, so he gets credit for being the father of the Arab & Jewish peoples.

I don't remember God giving him a hard time about two wives...as a matter of fact I believe he found favor in God's eyes.
