About this listen

This episode responds to a public claim by a pastor who says he is married to two women and argues the Bible allows polygamy. It examines the debate and explains why Scripture presents marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

Drawing on Genesis, Jesus' teaching in Matthew, Old Testament examples, and New Testament instructions from Paul and Peter, the episode shows that God's design from the beginning is lifelong, monogamous marriage. Historical instances of polygamy in the Bible are treated as descriptive, not prescriptive, and are shown to produce family conflict and spiritual harm.

The conclusion: the Bible does not endorse polygamy, and those who promote or practice it contradict the clear witness of Scripture. Listeners are urged to hold to the biblical design for marriage and to be cautious of leaders who teach otherwise.
