frosbel2:No problem. Read Matthew 19 again. Jesus spoke about marrying another woman while the first was still alive and called it adultery. 9 And 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. Matthew 19:9 Now, it will be erroneous to interpret the above to mean you can marry another provided you dont put the first away! And His plans for man has been unfolding gradually since the fall. Jesus, not me, highlighted the issue of hardness of heart allowed for under the old testament! Now you say this but forget that the Paul spoke about Bishops and Deacons having ONE wife! Were they going to get married before becoming Bishops and Deacons or after And wont they first be disciples before becoming Bishops and Deacons? Danger starts when having passed a stage, we go back to revive the "stones from the rubbish" of that which God had annulled, though permitted initially. Once again, Jesus, not me, highlighted the fact that certain things were allowed in the Old Testament because of the hardness of heart. The New testament addresses this hence it is called a Better covenant. Would you manage to prove that ANY of the disciples/apostles had 2 or more wives? We have Aquila and Priscilla (neither Bishops nor Apostles they), Paul spoke that the Apostles led about(I quote) ... a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 1 Corinth 9:5 Why didnt they, like you are claiming, compare themselves to David? And did they get married after becoming apostles or before? All through the NT can you support or back up polygamy with just one verse, expressedly or impliedly? Matthew 19 runs in the same tenor with Jesus saying, "ye have heard that... but I say unto you" meaning this is the NT, those things overlooked due to hardness of heart and the limit of the law are no more permissible under the NT! Nice retort brother! Show me a proof that the other 3 are 'wives' to start with. By what arrangement? Matthew 19? Malachi 2:14-16? or Frosbel's book of surmisings?! Interesting. And yet folks like you will be quick to call for the head of the 'MOG' that marries a second wife! Congrats. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

eph12:I am surprised! Even Jesus affirmed that the woman who had had 5 husbands was with another man who He/she affirmed was not hers! They cohabited, he (the other 5 and the current ones) played the role of husband, the warped society called them husbands, but before the Lord, they were not hers. Now translate this to the man that had more than one wife! Besides, these folks are the ones that perhaps would call Zacchaeus foolish for restoring all that he had got falsely! God help us from these peddlers of damnable heresies!!! 3 Likes 1 Share |

Scholar8200:Great bro, good one. Talk2nanro:please, re-read frosbel post again and read scholar reply. Because david , abraham and others marry more than one wife that mean its isn't adultery ? God sanction the sending away of abraham second wife hagger, and for david, david pay for his sins, solomon heart was turn away from God by his wives. The union of marriage was sanction in Genesis, when God created adam and eve and enjoined them as ONE flesh. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The bible does not in any place state that a polygamist should or must divorce his extra wives once he becomes a christian. Every acation He does before he becomes a christian is as good as error..Marrying the first, 2nd or 3rd wife. All was done outside of God's perfect will. He that marries somebody that has been divorced is also guilty according to the bible. So those divorced women should re-main unmarried for life God's package of reconcilliation is not to burden us to to make us strong. If you marry a witch, God does not love divorce. Stay with her. How much more a second, 3rd of 4th wife. Keep them all in your home and enjoy the Love of the father !!!! 2 Likes |

See question, they are still legitimate in marriage. 90% Prophets and men of God in the bible married multiple wives and yet God still love them and never condemned them. |

F00028: Exactly. If he truly is a Christian. He must let go of the other women. I.e 2nd, 3rd et al. The Bible talks about the wife of your youth and being one with 1 woman. I could go on but these verses can easily be found even if you Google them. Thank you. |

We must be careful to make assertions for God. The woman should go but the children should be catered for?? Lol. The tree should be cut but the fruits should be collected in a barn and kept for next year planting isnt it See, God does not subscribe to polygamy. Nevertheless, he also hates putting away. Whosoever marries a woman divorced comitts adultery. So those women should remain unmarried?? You think that's God's plan? I doubt it. On the side of caution, keep your wives and stay in the path of Jesus. You wont loose heaven because you were a polygamist before you met Jesus Scholar8200: 2 Likes |
