Polygamy Is Not Sinful Before God, Only Pastors Are Barred - Presbyterian Pastor by Obio4real(m): 6:22am On Jan 29, 2022 |
A pastor serving with the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, Yaba, Lagos State, Reverend Nkanor Okon, has clarified that marrying more than one wife is not sinful before God, GRASSROOT REPORTERS reports. The man of God said this in a post on his Facebook page which has generated several comments. He said only pastors, bishops, priests are prohibited from marrying more than one wife. The pastor, who is also a lawyer, wrote: "I repeat, polygamy is not stated anywhere in the bible to be sin. "Only the Pastors, Bishops,Priests are prohibited from getting married to two or more wives. That, not because it's sin, but, to Paul, it would distract them from full dedication to service of God. So that they'll be able to manage their homes and the Church well. "If you have what it takes to marry two wives, that's your choice. God won't judge you. You'll not break any biblical law. "But if you took the vow to marry one wife - in Court or Church, then stay with one wife. You sin if you break your vow." The post read.

Polygamist won't fit in when God restore Eden where only couples like one Adam and one Eve are allowed. For those who wants to have everlasting life Jesus referred his listeners to go and arrange their marriage to harmonize with what we read in the beginning! Matthew 19:4 ![]() |

MaxInDHouse:Matthew 19:4 Jesus answered, “Haven't you read the scripture that says that in the beginning the Creator made people male and female? Please how does this verse in the Bible relate to Monogamy or one man one wife? If you don't understand, ask the holy spirit for understanding and stop spewing nonsense. 2 Likes |

fortuneerondu: In the beginning God created Adam (one) and Eve (one) then he introduced Eve to Adam so that the two became one. If you want to live in Paradise where God promised that no pain, suffering or hatred will be allowed then you must stick to the standard God set for marriage in the beginning! ![]() 2 Likes |

LordIsaac: Jesus was the one and only person who was with God in the beginning {John 1:1} so when Jews who were hiding under polygamy to practice adultery came to ask Jesus if their line of thought is approved by God Jesus referred them to the beginning {Matthew 19:4} all polygamists in the Bible had troubles leading to jealous and hatred in their homes. God promised us that in his kingdom (earth not heaven) there will be no cause for hatred of any sought. So Jesus has come to teach us how we can wash our dirty robes which God had said "no man is clean in his sight" {Luke 18:19; Psalms 14:3} don't allow anyone deceive you, Jesus said all humans who lived before John the baptist are not as great in God's sight as John the baptist because none of them saw the Christ who will correct our line of thought regarding everlasting life, but all those who have learned how to live in Paradise through Jesus' teachings are greater than John who never learned anything from Jesus! Matthew 11:11 So Jesus declared that for anyone to qualify for everlasting life in Paradise it must be monogamy. That's why his disciples were shocked because according to Jesus once you're married whatever leads you to take up another woman makes you unworthy of God's kingdom: And Pharisees came to him intent on testing him, and they asked: “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on every sort of grounds?” In reply he said: “Have you not read that the one who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said: ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’? So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together, let no man put apart.” They said to him: “Why, then, did Moses direct giving a certificate of dismissal and divorcing her?” He said to them: “Out of regard for your hard-heartedness, Moses made the concession to you of divorcing your wives, but that has not been the case from the beginning. I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery.” The disciples said to him: “If that is the situation of a man with his wife, it is not advisable to marry.” He said to them: “Not all men make room for the saying, but only those who have the gift. For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs on account of the Kingdom of the heavens. Let the one who can make room for it make room for it! Matthew 19:3-12 When a man decides to marry another woman he has pierced the heart of his first wife with sorrow, so he is not fit for Paradise {Psalms 37:9-11} because God promised us that there won't be pain nor outcry in His Kingdom!

LordIsaac: According to Jesus Christ of Nazareth all those engaged in polygamy are as worse in God's sight as adulterers. In God's laws adulterers are to be stoned to death and nobody will give them a befitting burial because they're not expected to partake in the resurrection. Psalms 9:17 So if any man wants Jesus in his life he must return what he has taken unworthily: But Zac·chaeʹus stood up and said to the Lord: “Look! The half of my belongings, Lord, I am giving to the poor, and whatever I extorted from anyone, I am restoring four times over.” At this Jesus said to him: “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost.” Luke 19:8-10 This are the things that contributed to the intense hatred most Jews had for Jesus, because he is asking them to go and amend their ways before they can think of everlasting life. So a polygamist only need to release the other women he took in during the time of ignorance they are all what he took unworthily, if all the women in the world know today that no man will marry more than one. There won't be a single woman without virtuous habits but because they knew some men will take them in as either second wife or side chics 80% of women don't care about God's arrangement: MARRIAGE! Hebrews 13:4 May you have PEACE! ![]() |

MaxInDHouse:The whole of Matthew 19 does not even have anything to do with how many wives or husbands one can have but simply addresses Adultery. How you then twist it to portray your emotions or myopia is amazing. Stop preaching if you've not studied enough to show yourself approved. |

Its not sinful... Its just a culture of the European that they put on una head..... The Europeans church are becoming empty while African still carry Christianity for head like Gala. they enslave us, sell our forefathers and later come back claiming that their brother died for us.... No white man die for black man. |
Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful Before God, Only Pastors Are Barred - Presbyterian Pastor by fortuneerondu(m): 10:28am On Jan 29, 2022 |
MaxInDHouse: You were talking about stoning adulterers to death blah blah blah. Why do you speak like an uncircumcised philistine? So of what purpose is the sacrifice of Jesus if you have to stone adulterers to death? Or does your Bible not include "He without sin should cast the first stone"? Please go and study your Bible and show yourself approved before you mess up all the sacrifices of our Lord Jesus Christ |
Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful Before God, Only Pastors Are Barred - Presbyterian Pastor by MaxInDHouse(m): 10:29am On Jan 29, 2022 |
fortuneerondu: Do you think Jesus was making laws like what was written by Moses? Come on, this is the fulfilment of what God told Jeremiah the prophet: "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Jehovah. “I will put my law within them, and in their heart I will write it. And I will become their God, and they will become my people" Jeremiah 31:33 Jesus wrote God's standards in the hearts of his disciples through his thoughts, words and actions. So if you're not moved to OBEY what Jesus taught in that Bible book it's not by force. You can marry as many as you wish. But know that some women are also demanding for their right to marry more than one husband today. And since it's not prohibited anywhere in God's laws or written, they are advocating FEMINISM! ![]() |

Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful Before God, Only Pastors Are Barred - Presbyterian Pastor by MaxInDHouse(m): 10:35am On Jan 29, 2022 |
fortuneerondu: My friend Jesus wasn't talking about stoning an adulterer but equating polygamy to adultery. In other words Jesus is saying: if you people want to stone a woman who has a secret lover outside her marriage, then you shouldn't spare the man who refused to satisfy his wife after exhausting his energy with side chics or other women! So whatever is good for the goose equally goes for the ganda! ![]() |
Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful Before God, Only Pastors Are Barred - Presbyterian Pastor by fortuneerondu(m): 10:36am On Jan 29, 2022 |
MaxInDHouse: Please go to bed. Your premise has no basis in the word. This is a satanic teaching, how can you be telling people Jesus asked them to marry one wife and one husbands simply because your emotions tells you that. We're asking for proofs and you're twisting the Bible without logic. Jesus in Matthew 19 was talking about Adultery and in all of the Bible Jesus never spoke on the issue of Polygamy. You can't be a Muslim trying to rubbish our faith using a fake moniker. |

fortuneerondu: My friend, it's not by force that you accept what i'm saying. You're free to choose your path but you can't prevent others from airing what God's Holy Spirit taught them. So relax it's all about what the so called Presbyterian Pastor thought and what others thought! ![]() |

LordIsaac: “Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it" Matthew 7:13-14 “Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will not be able.
