Just as some people are bound by tradition to not see baptism in Jesus' Name, people especially women are bound by tradition, the "Roman tradition" to not see that a man having more than wife is scriptural.

When women grow up they have placed in their mind a picture of only one man and only one women. They are taught this and dream of the man who will want them exclusively and who they will own exclusively. They are jealous because they can't have another man and they expect he will not have another woman besides them. Women generally think men are like them and if they can't do something he can't do something.

However men and women are different. There is an authority given him by God over the woman. Just as Christ is the Head of the church, the husband is the head of the wife(could be plural). The wife(wives) is/are owned by the husband. Just as Christ has many in the body of Christ, the husband may have many wives or more than one.

It was the Roman law, not the bible, which sanctioned monogamy in name(in practice they did not do it). It was the Romantic era of history that gave into the idea that women should have an exclusive right to their husband, possessing him, along with the idea of romantic love.

Some people cannot see baptism in Jesus' Name because of preconceived ideas, Roman and from the government of Rome in origin. Baptism in Jesus' Name is done by the apostles in Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5. The mode of baptism was changed into the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost at the Council of Nicea in 325AD by the Emperor Constantine to unite his empire.

But the early apostles baptized into "just" the Name of Jesus. The Name above all names was sufficient for baptism. The early disciples didn't believe in a trinity of three persons. They just knew who Jesus was, God Himself in flesh.

Nowdays, people do not even know who Jesus is. They are taught rote-like the false doctrine that there is "God in three persons", not in scripture, and sing songs to learn this. They have a preconceived idea put into them by their church along with some truth. They learn that Jesus was raised from the dead but do not understand that He is the Father or God come in human form.

If the disciples knew that Jesus was the Name(singular, the one Name) of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and baptized into the Name of Jesus, where is the understanding nowdays? The churches insist on saying in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost when they baptize, believing the false doctrine of God is three persons, not an doctrine of the disciples and original believers but some later development that is contrary to scripture(Never does the bible say that God is three persons but that God is ONE and He is a jealous God.)

Since people do not understand who Jesus is and have accepted that God is in three persons, when they try to follow the bible, they often have contradictory beliefs. Many believe Jesus is God but yet want to make Him second to the Father. They want to separate Jesus from the Father in their minds when He is the Father.

When our society tries to follow the bible, they come up with contradictory beliefs and actions. Wives believe that the husband is the head of the wife but yet they want to control and own him.

Nowhere is a man having more than one wife called sin in the bible. A man is not called an adulterer for having more than one wife. Where did the idea come from that a man could not have more than one wife? Why do we look down upon men having more than one wife nowdays? Why are we so prejudiced against men having more than one wife?

Could it be that these ideas are supported and come from our government and in the past the Roman government who wanted to control the wealth in the family? And could it be that the women want to control their husband and own him by not allowing another wife? Is society being ruled by the government using women and giving women "rights" while taking away their protectors, the men?

Now you may say the husband doesn't own the wife. However Christ owns the church through the price He paid, His blood.

For ye are bought with a price; therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. I Cor. 6:19-20

In the bible in marriage there was a bride price paid by the husband.

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own(heautou) wife, and let every women have her own(idios) husband. I Cor. 7:2

"her own"(Greek idios - means unique to her, having just one) This is similar to the city of your birth. There is just one city. There is just one husband that belongs to her.

Luke 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own(idios) city.

"his own"(Greek heautou-meaning to be able to have more than one)

Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own(heautou) things, but every man also on the things of others.

The language in I Timothy 7:2 shows marriage at that time consisted of one husband and one or more wife. If the word "idios" was used for the man having his own(idios) wife then he would have been only permitted one wife. However "heautou" was used which permitted more than one wife.

Every one of us has preconceived ideas of tradition and beliefs that were put into us. Christ will show us the truth.

Both the false ideas that God is a trinity and the idea that a man having more than one wife is sin have been reinforced by the lies of the Roman government and history. We must not accept these ideas. God's law has priority over that of man's law and traditions.

There are penalties for denying both the trinity and saying that a man can have more than one wife. The traditional church says if you do not believe in the trinity I will ex-communicate you. The trinity is like a false idol. The traditional church says you are denying God if you do not believe in a trinity. However say that you believe that a man can have more than one wife and society looks at you as an outcast and society doesn't even know why they do? Society is inconsistent in that they accept many perversions like homosexuality and accept men actually living with more than one woman(a wife biblically).

Some can see that God is not a trinity, but do think that a man having more than one wife is sin. There is hope there that they may see more truth. Some can see that a man having more than one wife is not sin but cannot see that God is not a trinity. There is some hope there. If, in some ways, we come out from the traditions of men, God can show us more truth.
