Nothing 'cos there is no marriage in Heaven.

We may need to ask why King Dave and Solo were God's most loved people in bible history if polygamy was a sin.

the way we judge is not the way God does but that does not promote wrong to be right.

frosbel2:


You are ignorant of the deep truths of scripture.

Men have always married more than one woman from time immemorial and it was never considered sin then or even now , because if it did, then David, Abraham and a host of God's righteous men would have been labelled unrighteous. In fact the only time that God called David an adulterer was when he slept with ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE, not because he had multiple wives.

Stop this religious fanaticism.

ABRAHAM didn't marry another wife while his wife was alive

Let me also remind you that there is no generally accepted compass in measuring what is wrong or right----it is governed by series of teachings and an established belief-system.

For example, in my culture, sleeping with another man's wife is considered a taboo, but somewhere else in the same country, a man uses his wife to entertain his friend according to their culture.

Still in my country, killing a fellow human being is wrong but there is a religion in my country that justifies and celebrates the killing of a fellow human being under certain premise.

Then in my religion, marrying more than a wife is wrong but somewhere in the same country, their religion sees marrying several wives as a true believer.

Today we condemn nudity but somewhere else, brides are married after appearing stark naked in the public.

So, the concept of what is right or wrong is largely relative and I am sure, you will agree with me.

I will like to ask a question in this regard

If a man is an assassin and he is a billionaire from the job, he finally accept Christ and become a Christian, what should he do the money he had made from the job?

you are write but despite some teaching, the bible is our standard.
If Jesus said that is was not the ordinance of God then even if we stumble into error and God over looks it does not make it a parten. I've been asking why people sentimental when ever it comes to issues of religion especially when it affects them negatively

Please be reminded that there are over 200 religions in the world and Christianity is just one of them. So there is no globally accepted book that is a guide to all.

The bible is the standard for Christians.
The Qur'an is the standard for the Muslim.
The pronouncements from the Oracle is the standard for the pagans. etc.

eph12:

What do you know about restitution? Do you know the story of the Samaritan woman?

Restitution was not a command under the grace. it was part of the law. Restitution is personal and is only done to amend broken relationships. It is not done to please GOD. Jesus never asked Zaccheaus to return what he stole. He did it to prove his repentance. Jesus never condemned the samaritan woman but accepted her. The woman married six times before and the seventh man she was living it was not her husband. I encourage you to read the story again. It is an error to divorce under any guise. We have to live with consequences of our actions.

zachus was asked to make restitution when he accepted christ. But there are some certain things that you may not be able to reverse even after repentance.

Myde4naija:
and xtianity didn't support marriage as Christ himself never marry nor have any children. Even your mentor Paul is impotent.

You are a maggot. Paul impotent?? ? If you will not add to people lives positivly shutbdah furck up.

and all this ur statement are very positive. Mtcheeeew

You are a Muslim who knows nothing about Christianity. Christianity is all about Jesus Christ, not David, Solomon, Moses etc. In Islam, Mohammed married more than 4 wives and had concubines. Jesus Christ never married nor asked us to have more than 1 wife. In fact it is stated repeatedly in the bible that men should have 1 wife.

When a man comes to Christ, he receives the holy spirit and that holy spirit will convict and make him know that he commits adultery against his first wife by still having other wives. You cannot continue living in sim that grace may abound.

NB: The word of God is final and Jesus is the word of God. We are to follow Christ, not David or Solomon.

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.

Madam dont say what you dont know oo. Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) never married 4 wives. So the rest women should remain without husband for the rest of der life. It just doesnt make sense.

You're just spilling thrash all over the place. If you don't like religion, don't subscribe to one. its not compulsory.

That being said, you should know that nothing can ever happen without God allowing it to. Everything that has ever happened, God allowed it to. God allowed wars, famine, drought, diseases to happen. God even allowed the death of Jesus Christ to happen. God has all it takes to stop Ebola and Malaria but He let it happen for reasons best known to himself but like I said it doesn't mean he ordained or sanctioned it.

Just like you can decide to bomb a market place today. God will allow you do that but it doesn't mean He's responsible for it or sanctioned it.

Yes Polygamy is adultery against your first wife. The bolded is a dumb question Sir. Let me ask you.

Where is it written in the bible that Abortion is a sin?? We are followers of Jesus Christ, not followers of David or Solomon. Jesus commanded us to have one wife. Anything more than one is a sin.

crazymommy:
Divorce his other wives??really?just send them away just like that??what will now happen to the children??can you just listen to yourself??a man should divorce his wives??polygamy is adultery ??really??so polygamy is a sin yet many prophets who GOD call his anointed in the bible had more than one wife so what are we saying??and where in the bible did GOD say polygamy is actually adultery??...smh....religious extremism at its peak...that was how boko haram started
...


secondly you said this in your own words

" That God allowed it in times past doesnt mean God ordained it. Same way God allows people kill other people, it doesn't mean its sanctioned by him.
"



so you are Saying God allows people to kill other people??but the same GOD said "thou shall not kill" is that not contradiction??I thought God is a God of love??why should God allow people kill each other??so in other words God allowed boko haram to kill people but that does not mean he ordained it according to you.is that not show of hatred??.jeez.......religion is beginning to affect the reasoning of many people........even though I am a christian does not mean I should allow religion take away my common sense.. very soon u people will tell us it is a sin to visit Nairaland...

How did I quote the bible wrongly sir??

you just said the same thing I said.

leoebhos:

Romans 7:1-3. You want to quote the bible your own way you are free to do so but this is what the bible says. Settle the rest and let them go. The first wife is the only recongnised one by the biblem

Feminine perspective??, Did I write the bible??

Boyooosa:

I don't believe your theory! You are candidly typing from the feminine perspective full stop

I'm sorry but you're quite daft. You don't even know the meaning of adultery.

Adultery : Sexual intercourse by a married person with someone other than their spouse.

You mustn't steal someone's wife or husband before it becomes adultery. In other words, it is adultery as long as you who are married sleep with someone other than your husband or wife.

frosbel2:


Polygamy is not adultery, lol.

Adultery is stealing another man's wife or another wife's husband. None of this has happened in Polygamy because they remain legitimately married.

Your write up is based on fiction.

Did you just say I don't like religion??you must be a clown..am just a Christian that is not hypocritical like you....let ye who is without sin be the first to cast the stone....the polygamist is a sinner ,you are a sinner too or are u telling me you have never sinned even this month??carry your holier than thou attitude away...who knows sef you might not even be a Virgin..or is premarital sex not a sin too??you people remember the bible when you are against something when you do some other things you don't remember quoting the bible to condemn yourself too....and yes am a Christian to the core but my own Christianity follows the truth and sincerity and not condemnation and holier than thou hypocrisy...go and tell family members killed by Bono haram that GOD allowed their members to be killed and see if they will not destroy your face with beating ....

Everyone except you knows that Mohammed married more than four wives.

The women are free to marry after leaving the man. The first wife is the only recognized wife. Islam isn't the same with Christianity.

What a nice response from such a wonderful Christian woman -

Adultery : Sexual intercourse by a married person with someone other than their spouse.

You mustn't steal someone's wife or husband before it becomes adultery. In other words, it is adultery as long as you who are married sleep with someone other than your husband or wife.

But this is your own definition based on preconceived and subjective bias.

David clearly had many wives and so did many righteousness and even wicked men in the bible and God never ONCE told them off or condemned them. What we do know is that God condemned and even punished David and others in the bible for sleeping with ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE , i.e a married a woman.

So Jesus said if YOU or ME look at a MAN or WOMAN who is MARRIED and LUST after HIM/HER in our heart we have already committed adultery with her in our heart.

Plz next time give them Bible verse because of some guillble people that will start trolling you

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[a] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Matthew 5:27-28

But it does not say whoever marries another woman has already committed adultery .

After all the 10th commandment is "thou shall not covet your neighbors wife....." and not "thou shall not marry more than one woman...".

Sorry to say, but we are a conquered people in terms of culture and are simply parroting western religion masquerading as Christianity.

My friend the commandments was meant for spiritual dead people
. We are alive in Christ now.

1cor 15:22
New Living Translation
Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life

UNTIL YOU ACQUIRE D NEW BIRTH ONE BECOMES A SLAVE TO SIN.

Gal 2:20
New International Version
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Sir, when Christ lives in you truly you will shy away from the practice of the world

1john 2:15
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them

Love z the greatest commandments if you love God you will shy away from adultery

1john 2:16
New International Version
For everything in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--comes not from the Father but from the world.

S adultery comes from the fact that your flesh have not been crucified. Crucify it first n you will walk with God with ease
