The firsts christians didn't had multiple wives, where did you hear such thing??? Israelites (like solomon and abraham!!) did have multiple wives sometimes, but that was before Christ came...
By the way, a verse that can help is I Timothy 3:2, that can be applied to every christian...try to get better information before you ask a question.

"You wont ever see prostitutes in a Muslim usa." and that i provide up interpreting because i recognize numerous places in Jakarta (Indonesia is muslim usa) and Malaysia (yet another muslim usa). Given time, we may be able to work out the prostitution in Saudi Arabian too. or maybe no longer, because Saudi Arabian opt to rape Indonesian women folk that are despatched as family individuals helper there. (i recognize this because i'm Indonesian and it is contained in the information) Are you gaining knowledge of demography? Boys : women are distinctly a lot a million.01 : a million foundation. So there are extra MALE than lady. There are not any way guy will be fulfill with any kind of higher halves. it truly is guy nature to attain this, even Muhammad couldn't stay purely having 4 better halves, he had 12 better halves and many lady slaves. Islam is a failure in acknowledging that human can not continuously repressing their own sin. Islam quite blaming non-believers about their own sin. for instance: it truly is a woman fault now to not positioned on niqab to conceal their body. If a woman positioned on miniskirt, she requested to be raped. those are Islamic practise, quite of asking the guy to conceal their eyes or controlling their lust. Islam isn't a faith, yet a personality cult that depended upon lack of existence threat and violence to keep their follower subdued.

I think that the multiple wife thing you're thinking of is with Jacob, who had 2 wives, Leah and Rachel, and 2 other handmaids. That was in the OT though. Props to the first answer.

Multiple wives was man's idea, never God's.
God only made one wife for Adam.
If you read the storied in the Bible about men who had multiple wives, you'll soon see that it didn't generally work out well for them. Your example, Solomon, destroyed Israel for the sake of his multiple wives.
The entire world is currently paying for Abraham's indiscretion with Hagar.....
And Jesus tells us that a man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife (singular) and they two (not three, four, or even seventy) will be one flesh.
I hope this helps you....

yes, the founding fathers of the 12 tribes of juda had more than one wife. but in the book of levites (leviticus) God abolishies multiple wives due to the troble is causes. I do not know the verse specificly, but the book of the levites is full of extra commants and rules for daily life and worship

And in Roman Catholicism, priests ended up with no wives.

Show us where in the Bible it says you can have more then one wife.
If you want to have several wives though, I wouldn't object.

Christians can have as many wives as they wish, as long as each wife can make really yummy chocolate brownies!

You are correct, but getting past the law is the key. Their was suppose to be a separation between Church & Gov. but as we look at the laws, you can see that is not true.
