GanagiBitrus:

The Religion practiced by Abraham, Isaac, Jacob & all through Old Testament was Judaism. Polygamy was allowed.

Christianity started in New Testament with all those that accepted Christ's teachings.
Majority of Jews never accepted Christianity, & continue to practice Judaism up to this day.

Then why are we still making use of the old testament?

This is how people fail exam in school. Th e man asked you to name one prophet in the Bible. Though I'm not in support of polygamy. But you have just failed an exam

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.

This is only advisory and not a mandate.

The word must does not appear in all manuscripts and even at that, it is an advise.

God bless you.

I live in the UK where every sort of perverted relationship is allowed but polygamy.

Make this make sense.

come to USA and see baby mama and baby daddy galore. That's why you will see the double standard of the west. Whenever they say Nigerians has many wives, I always replied them by saying you have five chidren and 5 Baby DADDY and the men series of baby mama's. I have an American friend who has 9 children with 8 women, he doesn't even work No child support,

So please, how can a person do polygamy without breaking The Law?

In the UK they see people living together as a couple EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO FORMAL MARRIAGE between them.

Yet the same people are faulting A MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND TWO WOMEN.

How else can be define double standard.

1 Corinthians 7 and states that polygamy is unlawful; and that one man is to have but one wife, and to keep to her; and that one woman is to have but one husband, and to keep to him and the wife only has a power over the husband's body, a right to it, and may claim the use of it: this power over

Habba!

Are you arguing on the basis of sin or polygamy?

Most people fornicate s biko no bring that funny twist.

The point is that Polygamy was never and will never be a sin.

It is permissible just as Divorce was permissible even when these were not God's original plan.

So how can people embrace divorce and not embrace polygamy

I wish Nigerians would focus on the progress of society. There are so many social ills that need addressing. Nigerians are not smart.

I'm arguing on you people saying "The bible have not once condemned the idea of having two wives or more" whereas the bible via God's Laws and Ordinances has already killed polygamy especially the sin of Adultery and covenant breaking and bigamy is right in the middle of it?

I am of the fold but that issue of polygamy pisses me off in totality. I know of shepherds,prophets who are into polygamy but peace in far away from their homes. They only pretend to the public that all is well. Abeg make them shift go front polygamy is a no no,the disadvantages are just too numerous than the little advantage it has to offer, even the children are not spared of the wrath of polygamy

In the Bible monogamy is suggested as the best, it is was not made a law. This means polygamy is advised against, but it is not unlawful or a sin.

Is this not what i have been hammering on?

You Christians are terrible people. The God of Israel put a seal on His Prophets and visions about 1900 Years ago - Daniel 9 vs 24 - at the close of His Last Days. You lot pretend you believe all that is declared in the book yet here you are insinuating the God of Israel lied and this man's father was in fact one of His prophets. Why are your minds this broken?

GanagiBitrus:
Judaism permits Polygamy.
Christianity forbids Polygamy.

I like the word "permit" but not the perfect will of God which state that a man shall leave Father and mother and be joined to his wife NOT wives

Image123:
Comedians. Apart from New Testament men of God, off the top of my head, i can mention Abraham, Isaac, and Moses. Except they don't qualify as prophets in his view.

The names you mentioned are all qualified to be called prophets, Abraham was a friend of God acknowledge by God, spoke with God got revelations from God etc, Isaac the father of esau and Jacob, a prayer warrior who prayed till his baren wife Rebekah became a happy mother, Moses spoke with God and was ear and mouth between God and the children of Israel

This sort of argument gives me stomach upset.

What exactly are you trying to pass across? Are we even still under law?

Polygamy is about marrying more than a wife and what is the sin if i chose to marry a virgin before i ever even sleep with her?

How many of us can actually live a sinless life by following the laws?

thesicilian:

It's the same story bro. The Bible does not condemn polygamy. Polygamy is the teaching of man. If it was that important, Jesus would have taught about it.
A lot of the disciples taught what they thought was right, not what Jesus taught them. At a point (Acts 10) God had to personally come down from heaven and correct Peter about the issue of unclean meat and refusing to preach to the gentiles.

What makes polygamy a sin? That a man pays the bride price of 2 or 3 women according to tradition, before taking her home with the consent of her parents, why should there be any law against that?
Is that not what we were practising before the white man came? Are you saying all our ancestors who practised polygamy will go to hell? But that David, Abraham, Jacob etc will all be in heaven?
What kind of logic is that?

If you're going to convince me that polygamy is a sin, you'll have to show me where it was expressly condemned.

No where was polygamous marriages condemned in the bible.
There were advisory from some writers to be a husband of one woman.
They never made any statement to condemned one man marrying two or more women.
Every writer who wrote something about marriages never stated that polygamous was a sin.
Moreover, the cultural background of the writers were more of the opinion that were written in the bible.
Therefore,it is very okay for those who have the capability of managing and providing for more than one woman to marrying more than one woman.
The forefathers in the bible who practiced polygamous marriages are the real characters to follow in this series of arguments on polygamous marriages.
Not the later days apostles who are very much more preaching what the European team wanted.

Leviticus 18 answers you that if it was not clear whether it is a sin or not before, God has now changed it and made it a sin very clearly.

With this you will agree that God changes. Meanwhile, Jesus said, he did not come to condemn the law of Moses (Old testament) but to fulfill it. Also, bible says God is not an author of confusion. So why will God change?

Caleycash:
The sole reason why women hates polygamy is because most women are very selfish and greedy... try to gift something to a stranger and watch how your woman will say give it to her instead!, this is all women's nature, that's why they hate polygamy nothing else!!!

Have you heard the saying "what's good for the goose, is also good for the gander"
