EGW clearly stated that polygamy is a sin, which I believe doesn't contradict the Bible but amplifies it.

Unless somebody can clearly show me/us differently from the Bible, I guess that will most likely bring this topic to a close.

Darius, you wrote, "And I suggest you take another look at the passage about divorce and remarriage. It is not called adultery. Christ said that the man who divorces his wife CAUSES her to commit adultery." But you were wrong about this, because Jesus said, "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."


Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, "Behold your God." The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love.

A starting point is, what is sin... is it simply God's arbatary likes and dislikes, or is it things that make life harder and hurts relationships.

The examples of polygamy in the Bible tend not to have happy endings. Since we have forgotten how to read the Bible in context, too often people only read about people who are heros of the faith who practiced polygamy and thus see it as not a sin since they will be in heaven. What they miss is how polygamy tended to result in pain and the Bible is saying that even if an action may not necessarly keep you out of heaven, it can still be too painful to practice.

This also teaches about how God works on leading us in if we were to learn the lessons. It also shows the different levels of sin. It was seen as different from Adultry and fornication in that these were single people forming a family unit, and not tearing appart a family that is already in existance as adultry does, nor the careless promiscuality that defines fornication, but polygamy does have a commitment, but teaches us that it is still hard trying to commit to more than one and that the family could be a lot less painful in a one man one woman relationship.
