My dad was married to three wives before he got converted. CAC denied him the right to take holy communion and I remembered him telling the pastor that he can't divorce any of his wives simply because he is now a born again. He said he married each of them as a virgin and now that they had all finished giving birth he should send them away? Because of this, he stayed away from church for several years. He only prayed and read his bible at home. He now attends Anglican sha after close to 20 years. |

Truvelisback: At least God said that marriage is between a man and a woman. If you go contrary, you should restitute by removing excess wives. 1 Like |

Eriokanmi: What a lengthy and interesting read. I laughed too. Although I'm not religious anymore. I was born in C&S. You can always input in religious threads. Just try to ignore the trolls and you're fine. Shalom! |

As a pastor you can have issues in your marriage... nobody is perfect...but I expected pastor Chris and his wife would had try to settle their matter in their marriage and reconcile and forgive each other...but it didn't happen..the bible said we should forgive one another...why couldn't they forgive each other and settle the matter and reconcile to show good example to some of their church members that are married and married christians couples and their role model and the youths 1 Like |

PointZerom:What is atleast? God is against divorce. If a man divorces his other wives, he has contradicted the Scripture. God is against divorce. There is no place in the Bible that says a man should divorce his other wives. |

Ance4Liverpool:That's a different scenario. He divorced and tried to reconcile and it didn't work. So what's ya headache? Do you care for a hot slap? MiddleDimension:Logically it's not proper for a man to send wives away cos he's now born again. We advise born against that are unmarried not to marry more than one wife. But for those who had more wives probably before being born again, they should keep their family cos when such men leave those wives, who go marry them? How ll it affects their kids etc. Sense is needed in religion and reality. This is the true Christian doctrine! 1 Like

We do not believe polygamy is something God approves of in this era. However, the Bible nowhere explicitly gives a “thou shalt not marry multiple wives” command. In the New Testament, a polygamist is ineligible for church leadership (1 Timothy 3:2, 12; Titus 1:6), but polygamy itself is not forbidden. Polygamy was not God’s original intent (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:22-33), but it was also something He allowed (see the examples of Jacob, David, and Solomon). The closest the Bible comes to forbidding polygamy is Deuteronomy 17:17, which is properly understood as God’s command against a king of Israel taking many wives. It cannot be understood as a command that no man can ever take more than one wife. if a man has multiple wives and becomes a Christian, what is he supposed to do? If polygamy is illegal where he lives, he should do whatever is necessary to submit to the law (Romans 13:1-7), while still providing for his wives and children. If polygamy is legal, but he is convicted that it is wrong, he should divorce all but one wife, but, again, he must not neglect providing for all of them and their children. They are his responsibility. If polygamy is legal and he has no conviction against it, he can remain married to each of his wives, treating each one with love, dignity, and respect. A man who makes this decision would be barred from church leadership, but it cannot be said that he is in explicit violation of any command in Scripture. |

Negroid001: Truth is masturbation is something that most of the world's population do in private but they'll always come out to condemn it in public. Ain't that hypocritical? Well... I just felt he should have remained mute on the topic rather than create wahala. As for the divorce, he might be the offender but I don't know. It has happened and it's already gone now. Let him be and let him move on. Don't use his past to drag him back. Everyone deserves a second chance 1 Like |

Disclaimer: I don't usually agree with everything the pastor teach, but I understand where he is coming from on this subject. This is my own opinion. Keep your wives if you had more than one wife but know you will not be eligible to hold certain positions in church.( I.e pastor, elder, deacon etc). Why? You are a gentile saved by grace. There were polygamous families in Apostle Paul's gentile congregation and even Paul himself understood that God did not condemn the Patriarch of Israel who had multiple wives so why should he condemn these gentiles who have polygamous background/culture for having two wives. Even God himself told King David. " If you had ask me for more wives/women, I would have given you. Why commit adultery with another man's wife and kill her husband"(paraphrase) God seeks mercy and not sacrifice, but we are quick to sacrifice new convert mercilessly on the altar of dogma. God is sovereign and would have mercy upon whom he chooses to have mercy. We do not get to decide for him. So relax. |
