∆ do you know know that Paul was not one of the Apostles? So based on that, he could have been deceived?

DOM7:
The criminal and adulterous monster don't know the Bible he claimed to follow. Just want to back your randy manhood like the other prophet that legalized it, but any faithful and holy minded person will forbid that from entering his spirit. Anyway everybody is free to practice what he or she wants however your right, choices and decisions will cease when you stand before the judgment seat of God His standard cannot be compromised because of your looseness.

Is polygamy not a married person committing adultery on his first wife to the extent of marrying the person he commited adultery with like this man has confessed?

And Is adultery not about married people committing a sin called adultery?



Is it not already settled that there is adultery in monogamy? So the focus now is in polygamy, so your response here is off point!

thesicilian:

It's the same story bro. The Bible does not condemn polygamy. Polygamy is the teaching of man. If it was that important, Jesus would have taught about it.
A lot of the disciples taught what they thought was right, not what Jesus taught them. At a point (Acts 10) God had to personally come down from heaven and correct Peter about the issue of unclean meat and refusing to preach to the gentiles.

What makes polygamy a sin? That a man pays the bride price of 2 or 3 women according to tradition, before taking her home with the consent of her parents, why should there be any law against that?
Is that not what we were practising before the white man came? Are you saying all our ancestors who practised polygamy will go to hell? But that David, Abraham, Jacob etc will all be in heaven?
What kind of logic is that?

If you're going to convince me that polygamy is a sin, you'll have to show me where it was expressly condemned.

You are just complicating matters for yourself.

Face the subject and stop parambulating.

Leave adultery and fornication out of the equation.

I can be married and see a lady I desire and then marry her before sleeping with her.. In that case, I'm not committing adultery cos I AM MARRIED TO HER..

JuanDeDios:

Abraham: Sarah (wife) and Haggar (concubine)
Moses: Jethro's daughter (1st wife) and the Cushite (2nd wife, the one he married that made Mariam to do cho cho cho and God struck Mariam)

LordIsaac:

A Bishop must be the husband of one wife…that’s Scripture!

Kobojunkie:
That meant David was a holy and righteous man of God just like the other Prophets of God before and after him. A man after God's heart is a man who lives his life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of God's very own Law to Him. David and all the prophets did this and as such they reaped the benefits of the Law by it.

olamoses75:
according to theologians, Eve was not Adam's first wife. In the same vein, the Bible never expressly condemned polygamy. 36-40 author wrote the Bible, though by inspiration from God, but they all have different perspectives about some issues. For instance, Apostle Paul never married, but does that mean Apostles can't marry?

Then why are we still making use of the old testament?

∆ That is personal doctrine of the apostle, Jesus didn't say that. Besides it was specifically talking about the elders of the church, not the general congregation

Image123:


Hagar was not a wife but a mistake, except you accept that polygamy is a mistake. Nobody joined them together or recognised them as husband and wife.
What's your Bible verse about Cushite being a second wife? That's a hypothesis by some, not stated in the Bible. Jethro and Reuel are the same person, right?
Anyway, at least you agree with Isaac abi? That settles it.

GanagiBitrus:
∆ Jesus was born into Judaism, His parents & all those around Him practised Judaism.
In simple terms, Christianity originated from Judaism & there are useful lessons from God's dealings with the Jews in Old Testament.

God1000:
His father married 13 wives with 53 children, so this is not surprising coming from him.


1 Corinthians 7 and states that polygamy is unlawful; and that one man is to have but one wife, and to keep to her; and that one woman is to have but one husband, and to keep to him and the wife only has a power over the husband's body, a right to it, and may claim the use of it: this power over

advocatejare:

Please stop misinterpreting the Bible out of context.

To get the better understanding of the verse you quoted, start reading from verse 14, God was talking about the king of Israel not the general population and he didn’t say that he forbade polygamy, He just said that the King must not acquire many wives for himself so that they don’t turn his heart away, Solomon broke this law and they turned away his heart from God

14“When you come to the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and you possess it and dwell in it [/b]and then say, [b]I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me“

Then verse 17 made us know that God was talking about the King

“And he shall not acquire many wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, nor shall he acquire for himself excessive silver and gold”

Kobojunkie:
You Christians are terrible people. The God of Israel put a seal on His Prophets and visions about 1900 Years ago - Daniel 9 vs 24 - at the close of His Last Days. You lot pretend you believe all that is declared in the book yet here you are insinuating the God of Israel lied and this man's father was in fact one of His prophets. Why are your minds this broken?

thesicilian:

We didn't attend the same school, I have my own school that I attended, and you have yours.
So if I say I have my own school I attended, does that mean I was the only one in the school?

If I tell my friends I can stay here, I'm going back to my own house, does that mean I'm the only one who lives in the house? Come to think of it, "my own house" doesn't even mean I own the house, it just implies that I have a legal right to use the house. So 40 people can call a house their own house as long as they're legal occupants of the house.

That's the lexical ambiguity I'm talking about.

Jesus never condemned polygamy, most of those in the bible who seemed to condemn it were the overzealous converts who were not even with jesus and tended to apply their personal beliefs in most of their teachings.

Some of the greatest icons in the Bible were polygamists, such as Abraham, Solomon, David etc

And they're all already in heaven while you are here talking about unimportant things like polygamy instead of focusing on the actual teachings of christ like repentance, forgiveness, love etc

Goodlady:

Anyman doing polygamy is doing to v more harem. We don't like competition and it should be respected. What I v observed is that most polygamous men don't fulfill their duties effectively. One wife, one problem, one focus. More wives, more problems.

oluwaseyi0:
The Bible is so volatile and contradictory that most people literally cherry pick whatever they want from it, it support everything you want

Imagine the constitution of a country been this inconsistent, volatile and contradictory; the country will always be in chaos

As terrible as the bible is the Qur'an is even way worse off

Imagine a book that allows people cherry pick to the extent that they can blow themselves up (if they can do that to themselves imagine what they can do to you and your families) kidnap kids in school (like in chibok) and so many others unspeakable atrocities

Same quran and some Muslims are just very great people, down to earth, pose no security threat and generally good people

Same book but different cherry picking, nothing else could define volatile

Good evening Sir

All this lexical ambiguity makes no sense
In that passage, Paul recommended celibacy And then One Man, one wife if you cannot practice celibacy

However Paul never said polygamy was sin
Its as simple as that

Stop picking verse, start from verse 3 and see why Jesus said such: you people problem is you don’t read to understand bible: Jesus was only condemning divorce there and so he gave them an illustration. What happened to songs of Solomon? What happened to Abraham and David?

yewit37486:


Don't waste your time explaining to people who already know what they want to do and are just looking for a way to justify it.

Anyone that wants to marry 100 wives should please go ahead, it wouldn't change the fact that the Bible is clear on it being One man, one wife.

JuanDeDios:

On Isaac, so every OT patriarch was a prophet in your book? Interesting position.

Wait, so when Moses married the Cushite and Miriam started to backbite him, you believe it's Jethro's daughter they were talking about?

If you say Haggar wasn't a wife, that's a very narrow definition of wife you have, which is fine. What's important is that Abraham had TWO women at the same time and had kids by them (which is what polygamous men do). He agreed to the arrangement and that did not affect his relationship with God. But what's really important is that MOST prophets were polygamous and God was find with it. Therefore, this is really just an academic debate.

In the NT churches, there must have been Christians with multiple wives–and nowhere were they cast out of the church. That's why Paul had to intervene specifically in the case of leaders (bishops and deacons), saying only with men with one wife should appointed.

Raymond84:
In the Bible, there are instances of individuals having multiple wives, particularly in the Old Testament. However, it's important to note that the Bible does not explicitly endorse or condemn polygamy. Instead, it records various accounts of individuals who engaged in polygamous relationships, such as King Solomon, who famously had many wives.

While polygamy was culturally accepted in some ancient societies, the New Testament emphasizes the importance of monogamous marriage. For example, in the New Testament, Jesus referred to the divine plan for marriage as being between one man and one woman, citing the Genesis account.

Ultimately, interpretations of biblical teachings on marriage vary among different religious traditions and individuals.


Good evening Sir
Well Said

But whatever interpretation any sect gives to the word of God, there's only one thing it means

Monogamy is recommended by Christ and being his servant, that is what I will do and teach

But what about those who are polygamous before they met Christ?

Polygamy is not sinful but monogamy is our goal and our recommendation just like Christ

Good. So answer this.

The bible Said "adultery even takes place without having sex", so explain, how can a married man have a second wife where he has already committed adultery just by looking at another woman who is not his wife?

Literal speaking 🗣️ it doesn't mean a number it's a principle of marriage, every man should have his wife ,it doesn't negate wives.
