In today's Christianity it is absolutely a sinful lifestyle. Going to another country as an excuse to hookup with more than one wife is not God's will in my opinion. There's nothing to substantiate justification for it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was done away with a millenia ago. Does Jewish Law Forbid Polygamy? - Marriage https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/558598/jewish/Do Yet the Torah does not outlaw polygamy. Approximately one thousand years ago, the noted German scholar Rabbi Gershom “the Light of the Diaspora” banned polygamy.1 This ban was accepted as law by all Ashkenazic Jews, but was not recognized by Sephardic and Yemenite communities.

The Apostle Paul also recommended this. 1 Timothy 3:1-2 1This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1 Timothy 3:12 12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. And Titus also confirmed it as well. Sounds good enough, especially applicable to today's true Christianity. Titus 1:6 6If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. Well if the friend seeks to be a pastor, then yes he would be in sin in taking another wife. But in the above scenario, unless I missed something his friend is not a pastor nor seeking such a job, so it would still be permissable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never consider taking the position of a pastor, deacon, or elder either. And still where it would be permissible, I couldn't feel right about bringing that sort of potential problem into a marriage. It didn't work out between Sarah and Hagar either. If a so-called Christian man is foolish enough to think it would work, best of luck. He'd certainly need more than luck to make it successful.

While it maybe permissible, that doesn't make it a good idea. I stated that Biblically it is not prohibited, so it is not a sin, unless local law doesn't allow it or your a pastor, but that doesn't make it a wise choice either. I can't imagine ever wanting to do so myself, one wife is more then enough trouble as it is lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His choice of taking wives that weren't from Hebrew lineage wasn't so wise after all, was it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
