Are u sure she knows what an agnostic means


Meanwhile can you show from the Bible where it is against polygamy

What is the correlation between Christianity and feminism?

Hypocrisy is not a Christian thing... it is a human thing

There's no relation between Feminism and Christianity. Just pointing out hypocrisy!

1 Corinthians 7:2

Neverthless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

Good

That verse does not condemn polygamy as sin


Paul preference was for his acolytes to be celibate however knowing the impracticality of this

He accepts that marriage should go thru

The only time he recommends monogamy for those who desired to be leaders and this was in 1 Tim 3.1 -2

This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

Matthew19 : 4

And He answered and said to them,"Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female."

5. And said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall be become one flesh'?.

6 "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man put assunder.


Pickabeau1, did you read that two, three or four will become one?

Mind you, taking 2nd wife defies the verse 5 which says what God has put together, no man should put an assunder.

By the way, going by your logic, it's safe to say that unsubmissiveness isn't a sin since God didn't say it's a Must or the offender will be damned.

Pick, in as much as FrancisTony is often beset by "GaayBrain", he is correct on this one. A thorough reading of the whole bible will clearly show that monogamous opposite sex unions are what Christianity views as normative and godly marriage.

Polygamy in the scriptural narrative is always beset with problems - from incest, to violence, to bloodshed to physical and spiritual unfaithfulness. It may not have been specifically named as sin and yes, it was at one point winked at, but it is not Christian.

In the early church Elders were to be an example - hence Pauls insistence on them being monogamous. Further, the criteria for Christian men and godly living does not vary, or accord to clerical vs lay classes of worshippers - which is not actually a christian principle regardless of the MOG syndrome that's so prevelent. And ultimately, all Christian men should grow to that level.

Think long and hard, pray even, about becoming a disciple of Christ - you'd make a good one.

Gbam!! Hypocritical christians will act as if they are blind to that scripture. I dnt know why people find this portion very hard to understand. Maybe they need God to personally speak to them before they get it. But trust me, if God had come down to earth to talk with them they wouldnt listen. They are just like the israelites. Hypocrisy makes people stubborn towards the plain truth!!

LET EACH MAN HAVE HIS OWN WIFE!!
LET EACH WOMAN HAVE HER OWN HUSBAND!!!

Simple english!!!

See, eh. I'm a Christian but still reason logically.

I'll never be beclouded by any religious book but I still believe in Jesus.

that you r both right is not in doubt however I don't think the converse is a sin which was my point

Implying something to be a sjn is my point
This is a recommendation

Not a sin

...and who said that being a Christian means abandoning God given faculties of reason

Believing is one thing, following is another.

Go in peace.

However you look at it, whatever your perspective, a Christian cannot pursue a polygamous lifestyle - that would be sinful - if you come to Christianity a polygamist, that's another matter.

You cannot read polygamy as permissable into the Christian scriptures.

I'm not best of a Christian, sef. I'm a deist/agnostic.

I just love exposing hypocrisy of Christian men. They filter the one that suits them.

Polygamy suits them but bible is against it and they won't hestitate to say Feminism is evil.

They are bunch of hypocrites.

Thank you jare. Keep exposing it. Awon oni rada rada

FrancisTony:

Understand bible before opening your putrid hole.
Judiaism is different from Christianity.

2 corinth 5:17 said that old things have passed away. We are therefore a new creation in Christ.

Those men practised Judaism not Christianity.

Of cause I understand the difference.
Jesus Christ is the all-important distinction between Christianity and Judaism. The Person and work of Jesus Christ is the one primary issue that Christianity and Judaism cannot agree upon. In Matthew 15:24 , Jesus declared, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” The religious leaders of Israel in Jesus' time asked Him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” Jesus replied, 'I am,' ... And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven" (Mark 14:61-62 ). But they didn’t believe His words or accept Him as the Messiah. That's the only difference, so how do you relate that to my post. Stop drifting away cause Nowhere in the New Testament is there any explicit commandment that marriage should be monogamous or any explicit commandment forbidding polygamy.

Lol.I won't return your insults with insult. You must think calling me such names would hurt me. You can add some more names if you like. I don't take nairaland that seriously and I am very much aware that they are mad people around. The only sad thing is that even educated young people choose to be same or even worse than the illiterate on the street. So go on, carry on with the name calling. If you ever think of a civil discussion then we can have one but until then, enjoy your name calling party.

And who the fuckkkk told you I give a two fucksss about how you feel offline or online? For your information, only a mad b¡tch knows the presence of her kind around.. People(Educationally not privileged and educated) can both behave well, but people like you makes them to be rude. Imagine calling me 'ignorant'. I'm very civil, check my previous post, but I honestly don't tolerate bullshit....

That's your own shitty opinion...

3The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
