Should polygamist families be allowed to attend church? New article below 👇




Polygamists want to defend their cause by asking, “are you telling me you wouldn’t let David, the psalmist of Israel and anointed of God, become a pastor at your church because he had multiple wives?” The answer is a simple yes. Yes, David is disqualified to be a pastor because, in addition to being dead, he violates the Holy Spirit’s requirements for pastoral leaders. They must be the “husband of one wife,” as 1 Timothy declares. This is very straightforward and has nothing to do with how godly David may have been and everything to do with how important marriage is and how the pastor of a church must set that holy standard for the other families in the church. Two become one. EDIT: If anyone is not tracking with me here because you feel like David just couldn’t be disqualified then I would like to point out that David tried to build the Temple for God and God literally told him he was disqualified to do so. Moses was even disqualified from entering the Promised Land. Great men can still be disqualified from stuff.








Polygamists can’t be pastors.








Six clear teachings from Scripture that show the sinfulness of polygamy/polygyny and the goodness of monogamous man-woman marriage: 1) Marriage was instituted by God as a monogamous man-woman relationship for life (Gen 2) 2) God forbade kings from having multiple wives (Deut. 17:17) 3) Solomon's many wives (and concubines) turned his heart away from his God (1 Kings 11:3) 4) Jesus honored God's monogamous man-woman design for marriage (Matthew 19:3-8) 4) Paul taught that a (singular) husband should love his (singular) wife (Eph. 5) 5) Elders are called to be a "one-woman man" if married (1 Tim. 3:2) 6) The bride of Christ is married to her husband in the eschaton (Rev. 21:2)
