TGE 🩵 :

The New Testament clearly supports monogamy, especially in teachings about marriage: Jesus refers to Genesis in Matthew 19:4–6, saying: "A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." Paul writes that a church leader (bishop or elder) should be “the husband of one wife” (1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 1:6). This implies monogamy as the norm. Marriage is described as symbolic of Christ and the Church — a one-to-one covenant (Ephesians 5:22–33).

Matthew 19:4-6 was Jesus advocating for monogamy, referencing Genesis 2:24. Monogamy is a part of Christianity.

I am agnostic and I am honestly fascinated by Christianity.I am currently learning more about the historical Jesus and investigating it there is good evidence for the resurrection

JoshSly :

Are you an advocate for polygamous? How do you think a man can navigate polygamy in modern times?

God has nothing against polygamy as long as you love your wives equally (if you love one more that’s where your problems start)

Smh 🤦🏻‍♂️in the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1–13), the virgins are not the ones marrying the bridegroom. In ancient Jewish wedding customs, a groom would go to fetch his bride, often at night, and her bridesmaids (virgins) would wait with lamps to escort the wedding party to the feast. The ten virgins are bridesmaids, not brides. Their role is to accompany the bridegroom to the wedding celebration—not to marry him. Jesus uses this cultural backdrop to emphasize spiritual readiness, not marriage. The key message is that some were prepared (had oil) and others were not. When the bridegroom (Jesus) arrives, only the prepared are welcomed into the kingdom. So no—this parable does not support polygamy. It’s an illustration about being spiritually alert for Christ’s return, not a lesson about marital structures. Using it to argue that God endorses polygamy ignores both the historical context and the purpose of the parable. The claim that the Bible supports polygamy—especially using the parable of the ten virgins—is a serious misunderstanding of Scripture. The Bible describes polygamy in the Old Testament but never endorses it. From the beginning, God established marriage as a union between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24), and Jesus reaffirms this design in Matthew 19:4–6, saying, “the two shall become one flesh.” When polygamy does occur in Scripture, it consistently leads to conflict, jealousy, and spiritual harm—seen in the lives of Abraham, Jacob, and Solomon. God never commands or approves of polygamy; He allows it for a time, just as He allowed divorce, because of human hardness of heart (Matthew 19:8).

Llz 💫 :

This is incorrect. The 10 virgins were not married to the bridesgroom but were following the first century Jewish tradition of a procession meeting a groom as he leaves the bride’s house. They r similar to bridesmaids today. The verse isn’t indicating a polyamorous relationship and can’t be used to determine Jesus’ opinion on polyamory
