EreluRoz: In Essence, if a man is responsible for 85% percent success of his home as a breadwinner then he has every moral justification to be polygamous? The truth of the matter is that women don't like polygamy because they think that the resources they are supposed to enjoy alone is being shared with another woman. They don't actually care about the man because they are incapable of loving a man, they only care about what he provides and they don't want to share a man's provision. Shalom 2 Likes |

thesicilian: Did the bible bringdown a holy people? Is it not that God took a sinfilled and sinloving and polygamous people from among the sin loving and sin filled peoples of the world and tried to clean them up and work with them, hence the bibles ordinances? 1 Like |

This Three bible verses below demands that only the bishops, deacons be husband of one wife....that is, you can have more than one wife as long as you don't aspire this posts. Although, it is advisable to have only one wife to reduce the stress of taking care of them which come with a lot of responsibilities. The bible have not once condemned the idea of having two wives or more but it encourages we have our own wife to avoid furnication. what the bible/God word always disagreed/hate is divorce, furnication and adultery. Check this out 1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1 Timothy 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 3 Likes |

APOSTLECHUMA: Thank you for your explanation. But I have a question. If God does change his plan like you said, he created one man and one woman, and through that man and woman, they multiplied by given birth. It also means their children got married or sleep with each other to multiply and we have the world population. If siblings marry or sleeps with each other, that is incest and is that not a sin? Does God approves such sin? |

1. God's PERFECT WILL IS MONOGAMY as established in the garden of Eden. 2. Polygamy entered after sin entered the world. 3. Before the law Abraham (the Friend of God), Jacob (Israel), etc were polygamists. 4. After the law came polygamy continued. David and Solomon were polygamists. 5. Jesus' discussion with the religious hypocrites, the Pharisees, was about divorce not polygamy and Jesus told them that DIVORCE IS NOT THE PERFECT WILL of God! .... 6. CHRISTIANITY RESTORED GOD'S PERFECT WILL FOR MONOGAMY because Jesus is symbolically the "husband" of "one wife", His "Bride", "Body", "Church". 7. If UNMARRIED BEFORE BECOMING A CHRISTIAN you MUST MARRY ONLY ONE WIFE who MUST be a Christian. 8. If ALREADY MARRIED BEFORE BECOMING A CHRISTIAN you don't need to divorce your UNBELIEVING wife / wives . You should encourage her / them to give her / their own life / lives to Christ. HOWEVER, if she decides to leave you, you can't force her to stay... 9. MARRIAGE or SEX OUTSIDE a MONOGAMOUS Christian marriage is SIN of ADULTERY. 10. POLYGAMISTS BEFORE BECOMING CHRISTIANS are welcome. It is up to each wife to personally give her life to Christ just as applied to number 8 above. 11. The POLYGAMIST IN CHURCH however SHOULD NOT be GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY for official SPIRITUAL OVERSIGHT so that no precedent is laid (Sebi brother Lagbaja niyawo meji! π) 12. In essence GOD ISN'T BOTHERED ABOUT POLYGAMY OUTSIDE CHRISTIANITY. What HE WON'T ACCEPT is WANTING to BECOME a POLYGAMIST AFTER you HAVE BECOME BORN AGAIN & MARRIED the CHRISTIAN WAY! This is a summary on the discussion. Anything outside this is man made. This is Bible's non-denominational position. No one needs to accept it. 1 Like |
