In the old, people like Solomon, David, Jacob, etc married more than one wife. God is still God and doesn't change. Do you think He now sees something wrong in marring more than one wife?

Righteousness2:
Ok

Righteousness2:
GOD'S Standard from the beginning remains One man one wife.
GOD'S Standard is HE hates Divorce.
Jacob, Solomon , Society or whoever are not the standard. The Word of GOD is the Standard .

Read Matthew 19: 4-9 to know GOD'S Standard!

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. - 1 Cor.11:1

The above is a command (with the tone of a plea). Christ is our example and we are told to imitate God.

Did God marry? Yes. The Book of Hosea is an epilogue of God’s marriage: He marries a woman, she is grossly unfaithful and He still loves in spite of her worthlessness. Hosea 3:1 gives a succinct view of God’s view on marriage: “Go and love your wife again, even though she commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the LORD still loves Israel”- one wife for life.

We follow God’s illustration and not the illustration from any man.

inasmuch as it's expedient to marry just one wife, do you think it would be counted as a sin to marry more than one wife?

Hmmm...

The last paragraph of your comment is agreeable because it has happened to me.

It never bodes well and brings chaos.

Guys need to be very wary of getting entangled with women who lie about being divorced. Na spiritual wahala dem dey carry come oh. It's same for both sexes I'm sure.

You'd be asking yourself why nothing is going right with you not knowing you have been conned into putting a grenade in your pockets.

Life big jare but we learn everyday..

helinues:
So people still look up to all this fairy tale books to make personal decision that would affect their lives?

TOPCRUISE:
God did not condemn it. Neither are you going to hell fire for marrying more than one wife.

Dtruthspeaker:


At least, you have exercised your own choice. And whatever you see na you carry am for head.

Therefore, others have a right to freely choose what they shall carry on their heads.

AntiChristian:

Cain's son Lamech

AntiChristian:

and Moses had 2 wives.

helinues:




Tell that to the sheepishs

Dtruthspeaker:


See, you chose the grandson son of the son of evil to make your case instead of the Son of Righteousness.



Moses did not have 2 wives, he had one.

His first wife completely and law fully put him away. She rejected both him and God.

This is where you see what "God hath Joined together, He has a Right to put asunder'

And He is The Law of both Marriage and Divorce.

AntiChristian:


What about the others? It hasn't finished!

Dtruthspeaker:


David nearly died in it but was very very lucky to escape. Thus, he is the True Wisest man in the world.

Solomon died in it and did not escape. Therefore, he was not the wisest man in the world.

Gideon's case is Sub Judice!

Acehart:


I’d like to ask you for your understanding of the word “Sin”; what is Sin?

Dtruthspeaker:


O Judgement Day! What a great day of shocks and shouting.
