1 Kings 11:3 : King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites.

3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.

4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

Does God Allow Polygamy?

From this lesson, I will drop what I have learned so far, which speaks to whether our heavenly father permitted polygamy; hence, through this scripture, I was taught that the original form of marriage is monogamy, which has to do with one wife and one husband, instead of what people do today, marrying more than one wife, which is polygamous.

With the likes of Adam and Eve, it was actually only both of them, because God understands polygamy brings problems, and anyone who engages in such will bear the consequences; hence the plan for one man is one wife to promote love, loyalty, and unity in between where division exists.

For example, take the example of Solomon, who married 700 wives and 300 concubines, which led to sin, as is written in the book of 1 Kings 11:3-4, which eventually brought the downfall that brings spiritual life down. Despite being the king, he still served the penalty in between what he did.

So therefore, brethren, polygamy, engaging in the act of fornication, and adultery are all sinful acts that attract punishment; hence, as some of the prominent men in the Bible practice it, it does not mean that our heavenly father is in support of it; hence, everyone has to take note of that.

Polygamy was not in God's plan from the beginning

I hope this letter finds you well and thriving in your creative endeavors on this incredible platform. I'm writing today to address a topic that is close to my heart and essential for the growth and prosperity of our community: engagement.

It's fantastic to see many of you actively posting content, sharing your perspectives, talents, and insights. It enriches us all and makes Hive a diverse and stimulating place to be. However, let us not forget that Hive is not just a platform for broadcasting our voices but also an arena for interaction, dialogue, and communal growth.

If you're someone who regularly posts content, I encourage you to also take some time to explore the work of others. Upvote the posts that resonate with you, offer thoughtful comments, and consider reblogging content that you find exceptionally valuable. Your engagement doesn't have to stop at the boundaries of your own posts; in fact, it's through collective interaction that we can truly build a community that thrives on meaningful discourse.

There is a certain magic that occurs when we don't just speak, but also listen; when we don't just take, but also give. This sense of reciprocity not only enriches our individual experiences but also fortifies the Hive community as a whole.

I understand that we all lead busy lives, and time is a precious commodity. However, even small acts of engagement can create ripples that turn into waves of positive change and growth for all of us. So let’s embrace this not as a chore, but as an opportunity to amplify the heartbeat of this extraordinary community we are all a part of.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward to seeing how we can elevate the Hive experience collectively, by contributing not just content but also the valuable currency of engagement.

Best regards,
@mcgi.cares

Polygamy is not the initial plan of God for man and is not supported by God
