I've read through the thread and none has provided any portion of the Bible where polygamy is forbidden. No one. 1 Like |

daddytime: Ur correct. Until I became alert spiritually, I never knew this. Any woman who tells u she is divorced or is no longer with her husband is still spiritually bond to him. If any man sleeps with them, u will be dragged years back in ur progress. It's like going to Lagos in a bus and ur asked to come down and trek to Lagos with ur legs. That's how slow ur progress will be after sleeping with a married woman. Secondly those who sleep with different girls. They don't know that each person has a spirit that follows or works with them. Some girls are possessed like their male counterparts. The more girls u sleep with, the more spiritually bond u will become. Those spirits will either help or ruin u. The more u meet/sleep with girls, the more ur entangling with so many negative spirits that bond u and thereby impeding ur progress. It's always better to stay with one girlfriend or a woman who is ur wife. When I discovered this about women, I ran away and stayed away. I come in peace!!! 2 Likes |

MrHighSea:Because people have individual reasoning capacities and projections. So they'll arrive at different conclusions when given the ability to reason individually and are allowed to look at things from different perspective. It's their 'freedom' to think at work. |

AntiChristian: Remember I told you I'll let you know why God permitted the Mosaic laws for a period, which also affected the righteous people before Christ was revealed. I'll let you know when the time is right bro. That God allowed David to have many wives and even some of his former master's wives wasn't the plan of God for him but as the tradition of the people entailed. I'll open a thread on this soon. |

Is christianity really a religion or a mere political party. Cause of all the lies & evils in APC, it's nowhere near this satanic, old religion called christ-satanity. |

Righteousness2: Marry more than one is never a sin. If it is, how can God call a sinner (David) a man after His own heart?. One man one wife is just a doctrine just like Catholic forbade Rev. Father from marrying at all. Remember our father Abraham is in heaven ( according to Bible) if marrying more than one is a sin he couldn't have make heaven. You guys should stop making new laws in addition to the 10 commandments. Even the 10 commandment you have not keep it yet. 1 Like |

God Has A Standard For Marriage Which Is One Man One Woman, However This Doesn't Really Mean Whoever Goes Against This Standard Have Sinned. There Are Exceptions The Bible Really Detailed About, These Are The Church Leaders. In The Book Of (1Timothy 3:2) It Says And I Quote; "A Bishop Then Must Be Blameless, A Husband To One Wife; Vigilante, Sober, Of Good Behavior, Given To Hospitality, Approved To Teach." So, As A Man You Have The Legal Right And Even The Biblical/Religious Right To Get Married To As Many Women As You Want And I'll Prove It To You, In The Book Of (Isaiah 4:1) It Says And I Quote; "In Those Days Seven Women Shall Lay Hold To One Man And Shall Say; We Shall Eat Our Own Food And Provide Our Own Clothes, Only Let Use Be Called By Your Name. Take Away Our "Disgrace." 2 Likes |

Righteousness2:there is no justification on what you wrote not to marry more than one wife. Tell us where it is clearly stated not to marry more than one wife. Those that marry more than one wife tell us where it is condemn or the type of punishment stipulated for them in the bible. Like In ten commandment ,it is stated that one shall not steal and bible go further to state the punishment for one who steal. 1 Like |

Banhammy717: As much as I agree with your argument, i disagree with the scripture u quoted in support of it. Isaiah 4:1 was describing a specific time surrounded with a particular kind of occurrence. It is not a prescription for Christians. I am open to a superior argument that will be shed the light more on it if am wrong though. GoodmormingBoss |

Deuteronomy 21:15-17 “If a man has two wives, the one loved and the other unloved, and both the loved and the unloved have borne him sons, if the firstborn son belongs to the unloved, then it shall be in the day he wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn. But he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; to him belongs the right of the firstborn. |

Dtruthspeaker: From your tone, I can categorically say that you know almost nothing about the day of judgement, so please keep quiet. The guy who said God did not forbid polygamy is very right and rightly so for God's righteous reasons. It wasn't an oversight on God's part. No polygamist would go to Hell for reasons of his polygamy. And please you have to stop using bad logic to make a point. Just vecause God didn't create more than one man or woman doesn't mean you are not permitted to marry more than one wife. |

Righteousness2: Jesus was talking about divorce and marrying those that are divorced. No where in these passages did he mention marrying one wife. He made them ‘Male & Female’ does not say anything about one man, one wife. It is referring to the two distinct genders that God created. The same reference was made during the time God was to destroy the world through flood and he asked Noah to get all animals into the ark ‘Male & Female’. You refer to the Old Testament, but nothing in the laws then or in the Ten Commandments forbids marrying more than one wife, if it was a grievous sin, I do not think it would have been overlooked in the laws and in the commandments. Lastly, it was widely practiced in the old days by even men ‘after God’s heart’. Each time these men sinned against God, He sends his prophet to go warn them and ask them to repent and turn back to him, not once in the entire Bible did God rebuked or send His prophets to rebuke someone because they married more than one wife. That said, marrying more than one wife is a huge undertaking and a financial drain; I wouldn’t advise even my enemy to do it. 2 Likes |

englishmart: Thank you for this wonderful answer. So I’d like to ask you these (please answer in the order of the questions): 1. What laws in the Bible are called the divine laws (to all men)? 2. Which of the divine laws does adultery (polygamy, polyandry etc) run contrary to? Is adultery against the divine law? 3. State specifically (from the Bible) where God honored adultery (in all its form)? 4. State specifically where God honored faithfulness to one wife or husband. |

Righteousness2:Jesus was talking about divorce in that place so you can use it for polygamy. What do you think about this verses below? Deuteronomy 21:15-17 “If a man has two wives, the one loved and the other unloved, and both the loved and the unloved have borne him sons, if the firstborn son belongs to the unloved, then it shall be in the day he wills what he has to his sons, he cannot make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn. But he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; to him belongs the right of the firstborn. |
