MiddleDimension: This is off point but i cant resist not answering it. The question is "more what"! But was there any lawful thing that David had not already been given? FOR LO, HE WAS A BUSH MAN, NOT EVEN A CITY BOY O, BUT A BUSH MAN WHO WAS GIVEN A WHOLE PRINCESS TO MARRY. AND AFTER THAT HE LIKE NO 4. CONTENDER TO THE THRONE OF PRESIDENT. FROM BUSH BOY TO PRINCE AND THE PRESIDENT CONTENDER. IF YOU MARRY DJ CUPPY, OR NED NWOKO'S DAUGHTER, HAVE YOU NOT ALREADY HAD EVERYTHING? Please, the argument is over and your thoughts on polygamy being allowed by God is destroyed. Stop being a devil and stop inviting people to sin. |

Veecruz: Whatever you mean with this is your personal opinion! |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by Veecruz: 11:25am On Mar 17 |
Maximus692: Every statement is a personal opinion, even what you have just said, so your point is null. |

Maximus692: I am glad you saw that too. |

MiddleDimension:sorry to say it was Absolom that raped his step sister It was Ammon that actually raped Tamar, Absolom's sister. Now the question is, if Tamar was Ammon's sister of the same mother, will Ammon rape her? The answer is no! Do you see that polygamy can also cause hatred among siblings, one reason that always makes polygamy to be inferior than monogamy. Because in monogamy, hatred or competition of some sort among siblings are minimal take it or leave it, polygamy has fuelled instability in the society than anything else. If you have ever travelled to northern Nigeria before you will know what I'm talking about. Most people engaging into terrorism, kidnapping and banditry in that part of the country are products of lack of education due to failed family system caused by indiscriminate traditional polygamous policy |

FxMasterz: You are correct but if you are into ministry and you are single, most people will not trust you. This is my experience in ministry. And there are people who will never attend your church because you are single. It also exposes you to temptations. |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by Ken4Christ: 2:29pm On Mar 17 |
Veecruz: Was he also forced to sleep with the concubines? |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by FxMasterz: 3:53pm On Mar 17 |
Ken4Christ: Absolutely true. That's the down side of being a single minister. Infact, no married couple would take your marital counseling serious. Your congregation would be full of youths and a few young couples. The elderly will run away from you. You wouldn't be regarded as someone matured and experienced enough to provide guidance for some issues. These are all the down sides. Your ministry would be limited. The most balanced option is to marry one wife. It has its shortcomings too but they're very manageable. |

paxonel: And I think monogamy in the East is the reason for all the ritual killing, baby factorism, drugs and 419s, can you dig that? |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by paxonel(m): 4:56pm On Mar 17 |
MiddleDimension:OK |

Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by MiddleDimension: 4:59pm On Mar 17 |
paxonel: You actually prayed hard that I did not see that, and bring it up, didn't you? At every point, I counter you all very well. If you are the one on the side of truth, I would not have been able POWERFULLY counter you like i do at every turn. |

paxonel: Also, I just found out that Joyce Meyer suffered incest. She said in the family, that was the culture. And that is monogamy! https://mustardseedbudget./2017/06/10/joyce-meyer-overcame-rape/ |

Ken4Christ: Did you not see that he was? |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by Veecruz: 5:09am On Mar 18 |
MiddleDimension: Now you lie but your lies too are still your personal opinions, so null. |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by Ken4Christ: 10:34am On Mar 18 |
Veecruz: He wasn't. The wives stopped giving birth and they wanted more children. So they gave their maids to Jacob to sleep with to have more children; Genesis 30:9-11 9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. 10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. 11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by Veecruz: 1:34pm On Mar 18 |
Ken4Christ: "So they gave" and not "he went to get..." which you are telling people to do exactly what Satan does. |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by Ken4Christ: 6:13pm On Mar 19 |
Veecruz: That means If your wife ask you to sleep with the househelp you are free to do so for the purpose of child bearing. Well, there are also saints of Old who married more than one wife and God didn't frown at it Do you know that God was not displeased with King Solomon because he married 700 wives? His sin was that he allowed his wives to take his attention away from the ways of God. They made him build houses for their gods. |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by Veecruz: 6:44pm On Mar 19 |
Ken4Christ: Again, you have moved post from "they gave" to if your wife... My wife can never say that and no normal wife can ever say that, only if she is cursed with Madness. Ken4Christ: You are the one who called them saints, God did not. And neither did God praise them and call them "'PERFECT". And the people God Called "PERFECT" were married to one wife or single. And neither did you see God frown at Sodom and Gomorrah before He utterly destroyed them, so anyone pretending not to know that which is evil, shall awake to meet his destruction. Ken4Christ: That is what Sodom and Gomorrah, and Amelekites and even Isreal thought before God cut them down and burnt them up. |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by Ken4Christ: 10:36am On Mar 20 |
Veecruz: King Solomon's case is not the same as that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Sodom and Gomorrah were into gay relationship. This is why God destroyed those two cities. Don't forget, the Holy nation of God was built on polygamy. |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by Veecruz: 11:08am On Mar 20 |
Ken4Christ: Sin is sin and God hates sin and you are showing you are Satan in lying for Abraham was married to one wife when he got God's attention and love to the point of God making him a nation. So you lie |

Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by MiddleDimension: 4:52pm On Mar 22 |
paxonel: no, no stay there dey shine teeth for me. answer na! you think say you don double cross me, e surprise you say i get many bullets for my arsenal. The fact I can put down all your arguements shows that I am the one right in this issue, not you. But I understand you all: You have been taught this for long and you did not bother to look at this yourselves so when someone comes up with it, you are out off guard. You, the christian, who is suppose to be standing on the solid rock, according to your teachings, and that you are the one who should come out on top in discussions like this, is the one falling to me. Thr fact you fall, means I am the one who is right. |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by paxonel(m): 6:45pm On Mar 22 |
MiddleDimension:dont hype yourself, you can't possibly be right Obviously, you are a foreigner who knows nothing about Africa or 9ja,what can you possibly argue? that's why i smiled and decline responding when i noticed this. The Joyce Mayer case you mentioned is just one out a million. Meanwhile, thousands of polygamous brought-up children especially in Africa are continually faced with lack of fortune and opportunities some of which are depressed,confined and conceded into a perpetual substandard living due to competition for parental attention they had experienced while growing up as children in a polygamous setting. So, polygamy is nothing to write home about, compared to one man one wife blessed unions that have ensured a better upbringing of children and a better society at the long run |

Maximus692: does it matter to you at all the mind of god concerning things? |
Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by paxonel(m): 8:01am On Mar 25 |
MiddleDimension:You are not getting what I'm saying I do not argue that all these do not happen in monogamy. I'm telling you that the high number of out of school children in Africa which translate to societal irresponsibility is directly proportional to the high number of polygamous family. Remember, the family is a unit of the society. That means, whatever happens in the family in terms of increase population and child upbringing has it direct impact to the society. I gave you an instance, Northern part of Nigeria where I'm living. It is no news that for every 10 families in that religion, atleast 7 or 8 of them are polygamous. Polygamy is their religious and traditional value. Yet, it is also no news that the highest rate of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, high way robbery, etc happens in that part of the country, compared to what is happening in southern Nigeria where most families currently are monogamous You are not living in Nigeria, so you should listen |
