Has it been authorized or did they just do it. There is difference between the 2. When jesus came he fulfilled the prophecees and he told them that moses let you divorce because of your stuborness,a man is supposed to honor his wife. In the muslim religion a man is allowed to hit his wife lightly. show me a christian man married to 2 or more women and ill show you a man who is going against the lord. Sorry im not going with the laws of western society,if i was i wouldnt have stayed a virgin for 31 years. When i said not- covered up, i didnt mean completly nude and i didnt mean covereing up so much you cant breathe. Now early christian women covered up because it was a sign of the times. I really dont care much about society,because society doesnt care about me like god does. I have many muslim friends and just about every woman ive heard of in a multiple marriage isnt happy because she is being one with him and he is being 1/4th with her.THERE IS absolutly no love here. Now brees ,would you care for a response to this :)

<<<Having multiple wives has been authorized in the Bible in many places.>>>

Whenever you see a person with multiple wives in the bible read further on and you will find out what a snare it was to them.

brees,

The bible never authorizes multiple wives!

Genesis 2
24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Not "wives", "wife".

Have biblical figures had multiple wives? Yes!

Was it OK with God? No!

State your verses, if you know them.

God Bless,
Steve
