If your Church is anti polygyny then it has been infected with feminism
Most Churches even in so called conservative states are infected with feminism
I am not claiming Joseph Smith is a profit
This information was clear in the old and new testament without any additional writings by Joseph Smith
I am not saying whether or not the Bible is true
I am simply saying that any prohibitions on polygyny in the Old and New Testanent are the exceptions to the general rule in the Bible to allow it
"A Bishop should be a husband of ONE wife"
"Mia" can mean
"a"
"first"
"one"
that only applies to a bishop and to apply that to other people is intellectually dishonest for someone who has studied the Bible sufficiently to be qualified to know where all the passages in the Bible that contain rules about who may marry who are
Every single verse in the Bible in both the old and new testament tbat allows a unmarried man to get married to a unmarried woman also allows a married man to get married to a unmarried woman
the word man refers to both married men and unmarried men
If it only includes married men then unmarried men are exempt from the crimes listed in Deuteronomy 22
If it only includes unmarried men then married men are exempt from the crimes listed in Deuteronomy 22
King David was given at least 17 wives and God would have given him even more if he asked but he was not permitted to have another man's wife
If he took the 17 wives and did not take the wife of another man then it would have been O.K.
In fact God gave them to him
So God should not have given them to him if God did not want him to have them
And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more

Who married both of these women
