1Tim.3 [1] This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. [2] A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; [3] Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; [4] One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; [5] (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) How many of our self acclaimed men of God are truthful to all these law. May God help us to understand better than what selfish God of men are preaching. |

AntiChristian: Translation! "I can not Counter"! AntiChristian: Obviously, to check the growth of wickedness. AntiChristian: Where did God ever give a person more than one wife? If it was so, you mentioned the people whom you stupidly think "God gave them". So, you are just talking rubbish as usual, as you grasp on air, to hang on it, as you fall to your splatter. |

Righteousness2: Bros, don’t take it personal. You don’t have any set of facts to substantiate your position, hence you call it believe. All religion on earth strive on the tenet of believe and believe means, you have to take what you are been told at face value, no question asked. Ironically in all other aspect of our existence as human, we operate on facts and not believe…we don’t believe that food will magically appear on the table, we go work for it, we build chairs and seat on them, but don’t believe that as we lay backward chairs will automagically appear and support our weight. And in majority of cases, we adopt the religion of our parents and as kids are vulnerable to accepting those teachings and grow to adapt, protect and propagate them. Then, if as it is now there are a thousand and one region out there, with each professing that theirs is the right and only way back God, and we know they cannot all be right and God can not author this confusion, which is the right one? How can God condemn to hell fire an innocent child who grow up exposed and vulnerable to the other religion that is the ‘wrong way’ but still believe it? Bottom line is, we are both on the same page, you don’t know much of what you are proclaiming if they are facts or not, you suspended all the five senses God gave you to investigate and confirm if something is true or not and just believed….the Bible also also emphasized the fact that, you must believe ie you must not follow the fact, just believe and continue to believe. |

Adeoye11: No where in the Bible that God condemn polygamy. So, the answer to the question asked by OP is capital NO. However, the circumstances surrounding your life as a man could be that of the one that makes you goes polygamous. Monogamy is very much better. But, if you find yourself married to the wrong partner and you have enough economically and your mind is functioning properly to handle two household, don't hesitate to give polygamous practice a chance. Many men have perished simply because of not wanting to go polygamous and their wives sent them to early graves. As for the offspring of a polygamous man, everything is about how he organized himself around his children. Even, children of same womb, with a father who is not organize will have problems with the man property. May God help us to understand what is happening around us better. 2 Likes |

PoliteActivist: So, Cain and Abel are one child, not 2? Or bread and butter? Please, you have the right to not accept what I say, but you do not have to put yourself into ridicule to reject it. |

englishmart:/ Using the tool of brainwashing and indoctrination to counter an argument is counterproductive. For some reasons, polygamists found favour in the eyes of God in the Bible. The fact is Oyibo people make the laws, we follow. Recently they told us that homosexuality is acceptable and even some churches and schools are already gravitating towards that. Read the Bible for what it is--a history book for entertainment and orderliness. Nothing in the Bible is the word of God. Prod the Christians and the only argument they have in the debate is quoting the same Bible we are refuting. Ask any Christian where Cain's wife came from, then sit down and enjoy the show. / |

Dtruthspeaker: See the entire curse on women below. Once you remove childbirth and husband the curse is negated. Also, looking at the world do you truly believe it's women that are cursed?? More men commit suicide, die young, do the dangerous/dirty jobs etc. Men have to bear responsibility of the family like a male. Many break under that yolk. Also, take a wholistic picture of the whole creation story. God was the one who created Adam and Eve and serpent and tree and gave them their natures and knew everything that'd happen before it happened. |

PoliteActivist: See, even here you make the distinction of 2 different things to wit- "child birth AND husband"! Yet you try to argue. Sorry, you have no valid opposition. |

To me, drinking and polygamy are not sin against God provided you are not a church leader in the present dispensation. However these two could make you sin against God easily, hence reasons modern church leaders condemn it. Drunkenness is sin but drinking alcohol is not. But how do you allow Christians drink when people's tolerance level is different. Same way polygamy could make a good Christian easily sin against God. The new testament advised that those who wants to be church leaders stay away from marrying more than one wife. It is advisory but not a sin. |

Dtruthspeaker: Go and actually READ them. They are both STORIES of how God CREATED the world, nothing like plan. They are even told by two different people. One person refers to God as "God", the other refers to God as "The Lord God". Go and READ it, then stop baseless arguing. |

Dtruthspeaker: But God did not deem it fit to remind them that He forbibs polygamy instead of giving laws?
You can check my original comment here to see whom God gave more wives! |

AntiChristian: That clearly tells you that, He knows, we know, The Law! He Said Once before The Commandments He gave Moses, He Said it Again, Once after The Commandments. Beginning and End! If that does not tell you something, then nothing will. AntiChristian: And in None of those cases did He Give. THEY TOOK! |

AntiChristian: Forbid? Has your stupidity returned? You raised 3 people, 2 received their punishment on earth as the record shows, the 3rd one is yet to be judged and yet, you ask a stupid question? I think you have exhausted you sanity quota for the day. |
Re: Does The Bible Really Condemn Marrying More Than One Wife? by Dtruthspeaker: 5:46pm On Mar 13, 2022 |
PoliteActivist: One is clearly a Plan and the other is the execution of it. And of course, both are REPORTS (STORIES) of what happened. PoliteActivist: This is a CHANGE OF POST! Just say, you could not Counter. For the Issue is "Creation Story" as you call it, NOT YOUR CONFUSION OF "God and Lord God". So, get your mind clear and right before you start raising new arguments, SIMPLE BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT DEFEND THE PRESENT ONE. |
Re: Does The Bible Really Condemn Marrying More Than One Wife? by Dtruthspeaker: 5:58pm On Mar 13, 2022 |
PoliteActivist: See! You still have so much to learn if you can not comprehend the import and meaning of your own statement here PoliteActivist: A person will call you insane, if you think "child birth and husband" are the same thing like saying windscreen and windshield. Get your head right before you come arguing against me. |

Dtruthspeaker: The problem with this type of forum is, you could actually be arguing with an insane person. Who said husband and child-bearing are the same thing? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? Two items were mentioned in Eve's curse: child-birth ang husband. For a single lady without children those items are absent, negating the curse! |
