The @HonestYouthPastor released a 2+ hour response to Rich Tidwell's teaching on biblical polygyny. I'm breaking it down piece by piece—this is Part 1. In this video, I respond to HYP's arguments including: - His claim that 1 Timothy 4 "doctrine of demons" refers to ascetic groups only - The…
@MikeWinger at it again, does he make an actual biblically sound argument against polygyny this time? Let's break down his latest video. #polygyny #polygamy #richtidwell Connect + Support the Mission 📺 BibleMarriages: https://youtube.com/@BibleMarriages 🎵 Remnant Room Music:…
A conversation about biblical polygyny with the men from Maxima Potentia, Abrie Kilian and Ryan Ridgely and Peter Rambo. We discuss the social media firestorm over Pastor Rich Tidwell who announced he had taken a second wife, Protestia put out story about it and it set the Christian world on fire.…
In this video, I respond to a @TimcastIRL and Andrew Wilson along with his wife and others discussion where they criticize a Protestant pastor @richtidwell for saying polygyny is biblical, and taking a second wife himself. Rather than shouting past each other, let’s actually open the Scriptures…
My website: https://biblemarriages.org In this video I go through the argument made by @FocusPressInc in regards to God's supposed "allowance" of polygamy and test their arguments against scripture, and logic, to see if it stands up. #polygamy As always, be a Berean, test everything, hold fast to…
Many Christians point to Deuteronomy 17:17 to argue that kings — and by extension, Christian men — are only allowed one wife. But is that really what the text says? Or have we been reading our traditions into the Bible instead of letting the Bible speak for itself? In this teaching, we break down:…
What if one chapter could make the biblical case that polygyny is righteous? In Genesis 20, God confronts a married king, affirms his integrity in taking another woman he believed was marriageable, and then blesses his existing household. If you’ve only skimmed this chapter, you’ve likely missed…
In this video I respond to @Once-lost video titled "Debunking Myths About Polygamy". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qtGRHiuesc I go through their arguments one by one as I always do, illustrating the logical flaws in their position, the lack of scriptural support, the reading into the text…
This is an objection we will have to get into the Greek to address, but first I will lay out a few important things to understand upfront.
Some argue that Paul's requirement for church leaders to be a "one woman man" (μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα) in 1 Timothy 3:2 and Titus 1:6 is a clear prohibition against polygamy or remarriage for church leaders, and by extension, all Christians.
This verse describes an event, it describes what "a marriage" is, what it doesn't do is tell us how many marriages a man can have. We need to look further into scripture to see if there are any limitations on how many marriages a man, or woman, can have.
As a general rule, we must not draw conclusions from any one witness regarding a matter. The LORD says that on account of two or three witnesses a matter shall be established:
Paul is quoting Gen 2:24 and we have addressed that already here.
As with everything, context matters. What is the context of this passage? Let's back up one verse to find out, the majority of people who use this verse as a monogamy-only proof text fail to include the verse prior to it which sets the context.
Jesus was responding to a question from the Pharisees about divorce, not addressing the issue of polygyny directly. The Pharisees asked:
While it's true that the Bible records conflicts in polygynous families, this argument falls into the logical fallacy of hasty generalization, it is also objectively false if you read through all the examples of polygyny in the scriptures. If you really go and look at all of the issues that people…
While it's true that legal polygamy (having multiple state-recognized marriages) is prohibited in many countries, this objection misunderstands both the nature of biblical marriage and the distinction between civil and divine law.

If you tasked me with proving polygyny is righteous and limited me to one chapter in the scriptures, it would be a difficult choice, but I believe I'd ultimately go with Genesis 20. If you breeze through this story without actually considering the details, you will likely miss it. Let's spend a…

In their video titled "Polygamy & The Bible: Does Scripture TRULY Forbid POLYGAMY? w/Paul Liberati" they propose the question and answer it before ever getting into any actual meat, with a definitive, yes it is sin and it is forbidden @ 4:41 of their video you can find here…
Sorry about the audio issues in the first upload, let's try this again! A response to @WretchedNetwork answering an audience question about how to "help" a young man in his church who was asking about the righteousness of polygamy, or polygyny. As usual the advice given by that man, and the man he…
In this video I respond to a video @TikTok_Taco_Talks made where he attempts to explain away polygamy, or polygyny that we see in the scriptures. Unfortunately, as with most Christians trying to approach this subject, he simply repeated the same falsehoods, traditions, and contradictions that most…
The popular Christian website GotQuestions.org presents an article titled "Does the Bible truly teach monogamy / monogamous relationships?" which argues that God's original design for marriage was exclusively monogamous. This rebuttal examines their claims in light of the full biblical witness.
Mike Winger recently released a series of videos on biblical marriages, or polygamy as he terms them. In response, Rob B Kowalksi, BibleMarriages, Peter Rambo Sr, and Glenn Braunstein have collaborated to provide a comprehensive reply. Our goal is to clarify misconceptions, address objections, and…
If you start reading your Bible from the front of the book it won't take very long for you to come across scripture that records a man taking more than one woman, or wife, to himself. Today we call this polygamy, or specifically, polygyny. It happens within the first four chapters of Genesis.
