[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 5536432, member: 65823"] Moses(OT) allowed it (divorce) because of the hardness of their hearts. "But, I say unto you" Matthew 19. "From the beginning, one man, one woman for life. Monogamous. The only exception for divorce in the union is fornication.- Jesus Polygamy would involve another sexual relationship(fornication). The Law of Christ( Mathew 19) One man & one woman. One man & two women would involve adultery. The very exception Jesus gave to end the marriage relationship. Polygamy ended with Jesus. It was nailed to the cross. Have to disagree with you that the Catholic Church 900 years after the Lord taught this, that monogamy was finally happening.That would be in direct violation of what the Lord taught. I could be wrong, but I don't think 900 years went by before folks looked up decided to try the monogamous thing. The early church had problems but I don't read where polygamy was one of them. In fact, when marriage issues are addressed, monogamy is always inferred. I'm gonna give the Lord credit for monogamy. When you say "God prefers" it sounds like , "The Ten Suggestions"instead of commandments. "From the beginning it was not so" Alternative marriages are condemned by inference. No commitment to marriage (bound by law, both man's and God's) so outside of God's marriage law would mean fornication. Marriage instituted by God in the garden, yes, be fruitful and multiply but, it was also the place where one would "not defile the marriage bed" by fornication. The alternative would be sin.
