And is it a sin even though the Bible never expressly says it is a sin?
It is against secular law and we must abide by it. As far as scripture, there is no definitive law addressing it however if you are led by the Holy Spirit, you will know it is wrong. The law written in our hearts. What happened in the past on this subject is now moot.And is it a sin even though the Bible never expressly says it is a sin?

There's plenty examples of polygamous relationships in the bible, I haven't seen a single one that was more broadly polyamorous. Could you give a scriptural example of a relationship that involved anything other than 1 man and multiple mutually exclusive women? (which is to say evidence there was ever more than two in a bed).
Do you mean against the law? A king is not to multiply horses and wives. "He must not take many wives for himself, lest his heart go astray." (Deut 17:16)And is it a sin even though the Bible never expressly says it is a sin?
It is only against secular law to have more then one legal wife. Although this is a recent ruling of the court.Do you believe that we must abide by all secular law, or just this one?

And does it say how many is “multiplying?” How many is “many?” Lots of equestrians own several horses.Do you mean against the law? A king is not to multiply horses and wives. "He must not take many wives for himself, lest his heart go astray." (Deut 17:16)
There is enough in scripture speaking generally against fornication, adultery, and uncleanness, that I do not think every possible sexual variation needs to have been identified and condemned, one by one, for us to conclude that what is meant is quite apparent.And is it a sin even though the Bible never expressly says it is a sin?
Genghis Khan holds the record with 16 million descendants today. God told David that if he had wanted more, he could have had more wives. The problem was when he took Bathsheba, another man's wife. We are not talking about the masses. We are talking about the remnant that God preserves onto Himself.And does it say how many is “multiplying?” How many is “many?” Lots of equestrians own several horses.
That verse certainly does not limit it to one.

There are, in fact, dozen upon dozens of Bible verses speaking to this matter. Here are only four examples:
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
Galatians 5:19
Colossians 3:5
Jude 1:7
Well if you do not follow secular law you will be breaking the law thus end up in jail.Do you believe that we must abide by all secular law, or just this one?
