“The bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast.” Did Jesus endorse polygamy here? Did Jesus celebrate polygamy? An interesting question from a listener named Amy. “Hello, Pastor John! I know you have opposed polygamy on the podcast in episode #860, but I’m curious: If Jesus was so opposed to it, why did he use the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1 Chapter 25 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. –13?
