Yes, the preferred reading of we “hammock Christians” is the Bible while lying in our hammocks. We are quite aware that some of the early patriarchs and Kings practiced polygamy but may I suggest you climb into your hammock for a little in depth reading of your Bible so that you will learn while polygamy was permitted by God it was NEVER His perfect will and in fact there passages in the Bible confirming this.

For example:

Genesis 2:21-24:

“So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

1 Corinthians 7:2:

“But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.”

The Bible has a lot more to say on the subject than these 2 verses by the way.

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

They become one flesh in their children

Man and woman, same as all creatures, were created together.
