I see that someone found a scripture and that person is right. At that time it was allowed but you must realize that the custom during biblical times were different than they are in our time.
So, no. It is not allowed.

Nothing like double trouble. Most people can't make a marriage work with wife. No there are no scriptures for more than one wife. In fact the bible says only to marry if you can not keep yourself from lusting after the oposite sex. or pants zipped.(that is the short version of a long explanation) If you feel you need more than one women. Just live in the sin of two good girlfriends, and hope you don't get caught.

Yes. The old testament has plenty of men that had more than one wife at a time. King David..King Solomon...I can't remember any in the new testament. In the old testament there were stipulations to having more than one wife...Look it up in the Bible if you're that interested in it. Personally I think a man is doing pretty good if he can take care of one wife and don't forget the kids they need taking care of too.

Yea the famous kama sutra
Which deals with a world of lust and fantasies, where men and women mate with several partners... it depicts a world full of desire, greed, jealousy and sin. A false world we all are subconsciously attracted to, in which one can survive if only one has a cruel selfish heart!!

There is plenty of scripture that involves polygamy, but no law (in the USA anyway) that allows it.

One is more than enough :-) lol .... seriously though there are parts of the bible like the OT where people did have more than one , but the OT books are history books, they retell what they did, not necesarily what they were supposed to do.

Yes! Exodus 21:10
"If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights"

No you are meant to be committed to one wife only.
