This is clear about a difficult subject. Thanks to Dr. Otabil for coming out. However some of the things are still baffling: 1. If polygamy is not preferred, why didn't God rebuke the polygamous men about their relationships. 2. I still do not see where God said the Kings will multiply wives. This is 1 Samuel 8 and there is nothing like that. I have checked almost all the translations.

I agree with Mensa Otabil. Polygamous marriages really have severe consequences. My maternal grandfather married four wives out of a selfish and prideful motive: now, his children are filled with malice, jealousy, witchcraft, bitterness; and so many other evils mostly out of comparisons. It's good to believe on God's word and put in to practice. God's grace is always sufficient and marry right not for the wrong reasons.

By choice Some men can be satisfied by one wife.. However, Some men can't be satisfied by only one wife. If they're forced to stay with one woman.... They go outside

ADAM HAD MANY RIBS BUT GOD TOOK ONE RIB FOR HIS WIFE., MEN WHO ARE MORE WISE THAN GOD CAN MARRY MORE THAN ONE.

@13:17 Polygamy is not new testament. So Bible writers are confirming to us that God thought it wise to warn and disapprove polygamous marriages but intentionally failed to warn about slavery? Since not even Jesus is said to have condemned the practice of slavery. All biblical verses only encourage the masters to treat their slaves well as if slavery was good thing. If polygamy is that bad that it does not have God's approval, surely slavery should have been on that list. But no. It was ok to have slaves but not ok to have 2 or more wives.

Every polygamous marriage in the bible had issues, the bible is for reproof.

Polygamy is never a sin both in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. God gave David many wives in 1 Sam. 12:8. And in Lev. 18:9; Deut. 27:20, he commanded men not to have intercourse with their father's wives. In 1 Cor. 5:1, Paul was rebuking the Corinthian church, for not have expelled a brother who had intercourse with his father's wife - confirming the law in Lev. 18:9, and Deut. 27:20 of the OT. And in Titus 1:6, Paul said, "if any"... is a husband of one wife...he should be made an elder of the church. Which shows that, during the New Testament Church era, there were many polygamous homes in the church, eg. the churches in Crete - as Paul has already noted. In Matthew 19:3-9, Jesus was not addressing the marriage of polygamy, but divorce. He said, "if you divorce your wife, and marry another, you commits adultery" vs 9. Check very well the phrases: "if you divorce your wife, and marry another". He didn't say, "if you marry a wife, and marry another, you commits adultery", NO! You see, it's high time people should carefully read their Bible, and stop being religious. Religious without righteousness; clouds without water; keeping the traditions of the elders; having the form of godliness, but denied the power thereof! In 1 Cor. 15:40-45, Paul spoke of celestial body. Telling us that, our bodies will be changed, and we shall be like the Angels of God here after life - Mark 12:25. By then, we will have nothing to do with these weak bodies. There will be no marriage - Matt. 22:30. But for now, starting from the days of before the laws of Moses, all the bodies of all men are one, even till the end of the world. If David who wrote Psalm, and a man after God's heart could be polygamous. And God gave him many wives by himself - to serve him in holiness without hypocrisy. Then it's a surprise for people to preach against polygamy because, according to them, "we are in the New Testament"! The New Testament never stopped men from speaking in different languages, to speak one language, No. Gen. 11:7. It never stopped women giving birth in pains. It didn't stop men from eating food out of their own sweats. As things were in the Old Testament, same are they today! Why then is polygamy a sin, because, the New Testament has come? Incest, lesbianism, bestiality, were stopped in Lev. 18:8-11;22,23. But polygamy was never stopped. Which shows that, it was, is, and will never be a sin, until our bodies will be changed to celestial bodies - 1 Cor. 15:40-45.

Hagar was given to wife by Sarah... She became the wife of Abraham too until Sarah realized that her maid given wife to her husband ought to be sent away because of contentions.... check the scriptures well pls. Hagar was married to Abraham too.... though not in support of polygamy but look at the case of Abraham Sarah-Hagar story well....

if it is not from God why did he god in the bible refere david to after he took his soldiers wife? u ppl mislead ppl

False teachers will always have their way with an ignorant congregation. Please people, study the Words for yourselves and let it speak for itself.

It is his own position on the matter not God's.

Pastor u are wrong! u have mis interpreted the bible. u ppl are teaching to please ppl not what it is

He isn't teaching God's word, but his own. This man must fast and pray for correct revelation, not teaching his opinion. There's polygamy both in the Old Testament and New Testament approved of God.
