technically, those women are divorced, so what happens if they remarry? they become adulterers? so let's say, the newly born again man used the women as a pawn to save himself? I don't feel comfortable with that. why destroy other people's life cause u want to save urs?

Not so now. except d women refused to repent like d man. it is something everybody can understand . you should also know that d race is personal n no one should b a stumbling block. to me that is what make heaven hard to go except by d grace of GOD

That was from one of the horse's mouth.

Now you are adding to the word of God.

Scripture says that Adultery is either sleeping with another mans wife or vice versa , or lusting after another man's wife or vice versa. Scripture is quite clear about this, yet you religious people like to add your own legalistic interpolations into scripture.

Stop adding to the word of God.

Keep Them.............No Other Option......It's Not A Sin In Any Way

tranxo:

If you agree that in the Christian sense, only the first wife is truly his wife, then you should also agree that polygamy is adultery.

Why?

Because adultery is not only when a married man/woman sleeps with another person's wife/husband, it is also when a married person sleeps with someone else that is not his/her spouse. Note that that someone else may be single or married.

Therefore, since only the first wife is truly his wife, sleeping with the other "wives" in a polygamous setting is tantamount to adultery.

You are taking this position because you have been indoctrinated with European culture where sexual immorality prevails at it's very worst.

In other words, you have condemned almost 90% of your ancestors as serial adulterers , and I am talking about almost 2000 years ago when many of them had not even heard about Christ.

This is the same way the white man has brainwashed you and your church people to esteem a white wedding as more significant than our traditional wedding and so without a white wedding , the marriage is almost considered incomplete.

Polygamy is a historic fact and has never been condemned by God in an explicit manner so stop lying.

there's no argument you are just adding and subtracting from the Bible please check your portion in the last three verses of the last chapter of Revelations.

Forlardara:
A man with wives dt got born again should come to Christ with ALL his wives. Salvation is unconditional! But it is a sin for a saved - married man with a wife to marry another wife.

. a woman who eventually & genuinly repents, finding herself in that condition will leave the union on her own...she go pack her bag run,because salvation is like water that washes the heart, cleanses the soul, and opens the eyes..its automatic and she'd know that she aint suppose to be there.

So what have I taken away or added to the Bible?

Scholar8200:
So, when a married man begins to eye another woman (unmarried) with a desire for her while his wife is alive, what is that called, nay, what did Jesus call it?

Did not Jesus say divorce was allowed under the OT because of the hardness of their heart? And that it was NOT so from the beginning?

Stop the promotion of error!!!

what kind of desire? to marry her too? it is permitted.

the bible never said you should NOT marry more than one wife! You said it!

achorladey:
All I see is even if he had married them legally on same day, he was only practicing lawlessness because under God's law he had no basis for constituting such marriage but if he is bringing himself under God's law he will be free of such illegality if he let go of the other wives and stick with the first wife, because all he had was illegal in the first place.

Rev 22

Bible is written in English so you can read. Refusal to read is NOT an excuse!

folks4luv:

do u agree that by doing that, the man is destroying the lives of the other women he married cause he wishes to save himself? for example, he married three wives, the last one has spent 15 years with him, birthing 5 children. what happens to those women?

Listen dear. First off, the bible is every Genuine christian's standard and must be strictly followed. What happens to them? They were never his in the first place.they were 'live in' lovers.So its up to them to get married PROPERLY. The man is liable to take of the whatever children he had from such women. It is more like restitution..you can't find Christ and still allow your mistake persist.Pls understand me..he is not just saving himself, but everyone concerned.Tell me wich woman loves to share her husband? The woman can re-marry

Actually technically Christianity does not even recognize the marriage in the first instance so there is no divorce.

Jay542:

i'm a muslim and we are all learning. Its nothing personal. But if this is what the bible says then its very unfair to the other wives. Cos the same bible preaches repentance to the best of my knowledge. If the bible didnt state any solution to cases like this, yu should use your prophets to judge. King David married more than 1 woman and God pardoned him. Then God will also pardon this case cos he is the most Merciful.

God did not pardon David because he married more than one wife, he pardoned David for the sin of sleeping with another man's legally married wife. Read the bible , don't let these people confuse you...

I am happy you said Christianity ( apostate that is ) and not God.

Scholar8200:
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!!!

where did the Bible forbid marrying more than one wife? Chapter and Verse!

There is a big difference between sleeping with an unmarried woman and marrying an unmarried woman, you are confusing the two.

then also accept Rev 22

Dearest, A True Christian Knows That Christianity Is Serious Business, And That Jesus Christ Meant All That He Said And Thaught..We Believe That We Were Bought With His Precious Blood And So We Are Slaves To Him And Him Alone. As Such, We Are DUTY BOUND to do HIS will WHATEVER THE COST..going to heaven is not SHAWARMA AND ICE CREAM neither is it a JOURNEY for the lazy and undetermined. its a journey for the SINCERE, FAITHFULL, AND OBEDIENT.
