All I see here is CONFUSION, great CONFUSION! Christianity is a manmade religion, not God's because God is not an author of CONFUSION. Christianity is a religion of IGNORANCE for the IGNORANT! I rather prefer BUDDHISM because it has direct solutions to such simple societal problems. 1 Like |

Iseoluwani: You are redefining Adultery on your own terms and not according to scripture. Polygamy is not borne out of greed, it is a natural phenomenon that happens because it does. I would rather listen to the scripture than religious folk, and scripture refers to Adultery in the context of divorce or putting away one's wife. The bible also says " thou shall not covet they neighbor's wife " , it does not make a reference to marrying another wife. Remember that this was part of the ten commandments where God did not provide any restriction on how many wives a man can/should marry. Even Moses who God praised very highly had 3 wives. Note : My aim is not to promote the marrying of more than one wife but to debunk the erroneous notion that a man who has four wives before coming to know the truth must chase away the last 3 wives and stay with the first, this is so so wrong and is actually promoting anarchy , chaos, confusion and creating children without a father and women who can never marry again because anyone who marries them is committing adultery, yet you will say that God never recognised their marriages in the first place, but how do you know ?? Why are you religious folk so presumptuous and judgemental like the pharisees ? 2 Likes |

femi4: Again ENGLISH seems to be the main problem with your misinterpretation of scripture. God hating divorces does not infer that he is against a man marrying more than one woman. It is only in the last few hundred years that this European concept of one man and one woman has taking preeminence over other cultures. |

All victims of Polygamy should Restitute not divorce! Your union with them was never ordained by God, so set them free but with you responsible for the children's welfare.(Take a cue from Abraham) Your first LOVE is your wife even if a Witch, pray for her. |

doll912: Nope, David, Jacob, Abraham to name a few were all righteous before God, in fact Abraham who slept with his slave was called a friend of God. God's anger with Solomon was because he went after HEATHEN WOMEN and to be fair he married far too many , not because he married more than one wife. |

Nathan Rebukes David …Nathan then said to David, "You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'It is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of Saul. I also gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these! 9' 2 Samuel 12:7,8. Here Nathan is stating a fact that it is God who blessed David with many wives among other things ; "also gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your care" . 1 Like |

My questions are, 1) If you put away because of adultery so you can re-marry abi. 2)Matthew 19:is about Marriage and Divorce,not polygamy. 3)What is one finds out that one's partner is impotent or does not a womb,what will be the solution? 4)What about domestic violence to point of death. 1 Like |

phillip001: My friend, the SO CALLED CHURCH is the reason why there is so much sexual immorality in the land and so many unmarried women. Their doctrine is so evil that it could never have come from a loving God. They bind people with heavy burdens - like telling a married women to restitute and leave her husband irrespective of the chaos and confusion it will cause to the children - and then the bible says these pharisees after having judged you , will not life a finger to help alleviate your burdens. "They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them." - Matthew 23:4 You asked very valid questions. |

searchng4love:. i guess you're a moslem. because from your comment, its apparent you do not have the slightest regard for someone who upon conversion, dedicated the entirety of his life to the work & service of jesus christ.to the point of being killed & beheaded and matyred for the sake of christ.. if you aren't a moslem,then you ought to believe Gods word & take it as it is.that's the mindset of a true xtian. (read romans 6 vs 16) if you care. but if you wanna kip arguing,ur on your own. |

ettaetta: First and foremeost, I will like to inform you that If you have two or more wives, you cannot be accepted to have legally married all of them. What happens is that you are legally married to one and the rest may be under customs and religion. If you however, claim that you are legally married to all them, THAT IS BIGAMY. It is punishable under the Nigerian Law. It is just that most times our laws are not enforced. But Bigamy is really punishable in the UK where we copied almost 80-90 % of our laws- The English Law. Flowing from the fact that you cannot be legally married to all of them, it also means you cannot divorce them. "Nemo dat quod non habet"- you cannot give what you don't have. The best thing to do in this circumstance is to sit all of them down, explain to them the situation, retain the first (and ensure that she is legally married) and get an apartment for the rest. Continue to meet the needs including upkeep, school fees but stop every sexual relationship with them. You can even put them in your Will. But only the first should be under the same roof with you and must be legally married. This is my submission. |
