In reference to polygyny in Scripture, he is correct, but I would council Mr. Alamo to avoid providing any more interviews, as they will always end up to be less than flattering, even if he did make sense.

It’s not that polygamy is wrong, he said: “If you can find anything in the Bible about fire and brimstone for the practice of polygamy, then I’ll give you $250,000 in cash. Adultery is condemned, but not polygamy.”

“Most of the world believes in polygamy,” Alamo said. “The Africans, the Indians, the Chinese. The Jews – the Jews can have at least four wives. Two-thirds of people in the world practice polygamy.”

He added that polygamy is not for everyone – just for “great men of God, if they can take care of their wives and children.” He also repeated his typical complaint that if school-age girls can ‘fornicate’ and use birth control, then there’s no reason it should be illegal for men to take young wives.

Yet Alamo denied that he had wives of any age, other reports to the contrary: “You can check all the marriage records in the world.” He said his only two wives have been Susan Alamo and “the princess of Sweden,” Birgitta Gyllenhammar, who left him and the church after two years.

He also denied that anyone in his church was practicing polygamy or marrying underage girls. “I don’t believe that at all. Otherwise I would kick them out. And they don’t want to be kicked out.”

Alamo blamed a Fouke man named Tony Lane for the raid.
He claimed Lane’s wife lived at the complex and that he wanted her to leave against her will. He accused Lane of being an alcoholic and a bad guy in general, though he admitted that he had never met him. Alamo added that a number of Fouke residents – whom he referred to as ‘hillbillies’ – were being paid off by the government to give information about the complex. He claimed Fouke to be a main base for the KKK.

THE MANY WIVES OF THE HOLY MEN OF GOD
(THE POLYGAMISTS) by Pastor Tony Alamo

Every Jew and Every Arab that has Ever Lived, including the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, comes from polygamist parents: Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

Anyone who would believe that polygamy, according to God’s Holy Scripture, is dead, would believe that God is dead, and that the Bible is meaningless.

Abraham, Jacob (Israel), Moses, Gideon, David, Solomon, Elkanah, and many other chosen, beloved patriarchs, and servants of God (saints), had many wives. The book of Hebrews states that the world was not worthy of these greats, (THE POLYGAMISTS).
