I’ve been struggling how to respond to a certain topic since I saw it in the rules on this site. I’ve heard of this in our movement just once before but apparently it’s got some fringe traction. And I’m talking about polygamy.

I used to go to a Sukkot where there was ONE husband and wife out of 1000 people who promoted polygamy. It was their hobby horse and really repulsed a lot of people. And, yes, they always corrected that it’s really polygyny, not polygamy. But I have to say that it’s just gross and creepy.

Polygamy has no place today. That's from a culture that hasn't existed for more than 2000 years. Yahweh permitted some patriarchs to have multiple spouses but we are not patriarchs. There’s something in our movement when people learn the truth of Torah all of a sudden they think they can not only live today like it’s the days of Abraham or Moses, they actually believe the can ACTUALLY BE Abraham or Moses. Brethren, just because we have a better handle on the scriptures than most doesn’t make us patriarchs. Heck, Paul didn’t even get married ONCE and none of us are fit to tie Paul’s sandals.

The men who push this in our movement today are creepy. The WOMEN who push it, just wow. None of the Apostles had multiple wives and if that was a thing in the 1st century, I'm not aware of it. And to slam this one home, there is no behavior under the sun in the last 70 years that screams CULT than a man having multiple wives or concubines. So can we just unite for once and say “no”?
