Did you know the bible allows multiple marriages at any one time? I have looked into the bible - and have found some intriguing information. Where did the concept of only ONE WIFE come from? In Exodus 21:10, a man can marry an infinite amount of women without any limits to how many he can marry. In 2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3, King David had six wives and numerous concubines. In 1 Kings 11:3, King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. In 2 Chronicles 11:21, King Solomons son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines. In Deuteronomy 21:15 If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons.... In the New Testament Jesus said: DO NOT THINK THAT I HAVE COME TO ABOLISH THE LAW (THE OLD TESTAMENT) OR THE PROPHETS; I HAVE NOT COME TO ABOLISH THEM BUT TO FULFIL THEM. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18) According to Matthew 5:17-18 above, we clearly see that Jesus honored the Old Testament, and forces Christians to follow the unmodified laws of it that have not been replaced by newer ones in the New Testament. The Old Testament as we clearly see above does indeed allow polygamy without a shadow of a doubt. Matthew 19:3 does allow polygamy
