How about this:
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
Let us look at Matthew 25:1-13 from the NIV Bible:
Matthew 25
1. "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2. Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.
4. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.
5. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6. "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'
7. "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'

9. " 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
10. "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11. "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'
12. "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'
13. "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
According to Jesus' parable, the bridegroom married 5 of the ten virgins! It seems also that Jesus in this parable really allowed for all women to be naked in one room with their one husband. Also, to those who disagree with my points on Matthew 25:1-13 above, why is Jesus' parable not allowing polygamy to you? It seems quite clear and straight forward to me. Five virgins marrying one man is as clear as it gets.

Wouldn't Jesus' parable be a ridiculous one if polygamy or polygany was forbidden? Why would he use the parable that favors polygany, especially when he lived among polyganists, if he disapproved of it? It just doesn't add up!! Otherwise, his words are as cheap and ridiculous as any ordinary person's; that they are not Divine, because they lack a great deal of consistency and standard.

Matthew 19:4 And He answered and said, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, 5 and said, `FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'?
TWO shall be one flesh - That is Jesus talking.

Interesting question. The Old Testamant in fact told brothers
to take their dead brothers wives into thier fold to care for them.
Can people really live peacefully though in such an arrangement?
I doubt it. All you hear about in polygamous relationships is
dominating men who beat others, and start wanting to marry
9 year olds.

it doesn't say anywhere that polygamy is condemned...but if you want to serve in the church then you should only have one wife...
1 Timothy 3:2
Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
1 Timothy 3:12
A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.
Titus 1:6
An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.

If you find that in the bible, are you going to avoid polygamy? I don't think so.
So what's the point of getting approval or disapproval of the Bible for the things you want to do.

when the Sadducee's tried to trick Jesus by asking him about the women who married all seven brothers one after the other and then finally died.
