When you look at world history, and especially biblical history, you will find that polygamy has been an accepted and honorable way of life. Many beloved prophets of the Old Testament were polygamists, and Abraham was a friend of God, all while having many wives. Polygamy was once a lifestyle accepted by all.

For Christians of 2000 years ago, polygamy was stopped by the Roman empire.

Paul, in his letter to the church in Rome, said, “A bishop should be the husband of one wife.” He was simply telling them to obey the law of the land. Roman law is alive and well today in America, and we all know what happened to the Roman Empire.

It’s very unfortunate what has happened in Colorado City, Ariz., and in other states. It has given polygamy a terrible name and image....

Perhaps one day you’ll come to realize that God knew and understood how ignorant and dense men would be in their fallen state. God just doesn’t make it that complicated! I would only ask one question of you, have you been “born-again?” When you are born-again, the elements of truth and morality will be written on your heart; you won’t need a word study to devise the difference between sin and holiness.
