having one wife don't guarantee you heaven either. Serve God and do good. Moreover, see ye Holy Ghost. find the spirit of God and He will lead you. Bible says'' before our mother conceived us, he already known us. God is good. |

Keep both, sending one away can't erase the fact that you are already into polygamy. As for heaven and the bible..... Are u planning to become a pastor or a leader in the church? If no, don't worry, you will make heaven if you do good in life and in the treatment of your fellow beings, as you can be married to ONLY one and still go to HELL. If yes, this is not the right place to seek advice, go to the CHURCH leaders for advice as different churches have different opinions about this. I've seen a church where the calendar puts the pictures of the pastor and his wives. And I've seen churches that will totally condemn two or more wives. 1 Like |

evansjeff:Now that you have known the Lord, I will implore you to teach your family the ways of the Lord. As someone who is with the Knowledge of God, DO NOT divorce any of the two. Treat them accordingly as Christ love the Church, and raise your kids in the fear the Lord. That's all. The only thing is that you will not be allowed to take a position in the Church (according to [url]1 Timothy 3:2[/url]https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+3%3A2&version=KJV). If you studied that place, it meant we have Christians then in those churches who had more than one wife before they met the Lord. So, Paul specified those who are qualified for a Bishop's/Overseer's post. Are you to Divorce your Wife? Since you married both and they have kids for you before you met the Lord, it is not RIGHTEOUS according to the standards of Righteousness to divorce either because it will create problems for your family, the society and the world at large. You as the husband serve as a covering for that family, especially those kids. If you send them away, Satan will take advantage of that. Better having two wives with a family that fears the Lord and keep His statutes than a Family with one wife but are godless and hates God. Any hope of making heaven? YES. We have men who before advent of the Law had two wives and more but are regarded as friends of God, prophets and God's champions.Yet they are still righteous. What will keep you away from heaven is not you having two wives or not, it is not having a garment of RIGHTEOUSNESS. And we both know in the Kingdom of God, the law is not made for the RIGHTEOUS MAN. So, let your mind be at peace, do not let satan take advantage of you and destroy your family. If you raise them all well and righteous, God will be so proud. 2 Likes |

Student125: I'm all about happiness o! forcing to stay with him won't bring true happiness to both of us,, abeg I'm leaving. How will I feel? Distraught and disappointed at first but after thinking it through I'd leave. Easy for me to remarry? so long as I wish to remarry and the traits that make me marriageable are still there, I'd remarry. Trust? Except I don't wish to marry again, of cos I'd have to trust another man again,, no choice! life's hard enough already, all this drama adds more to it don't you think? |

There's nothing like legally married to two women by law,d 1st marriage was the legal marriage while the 2nd one is bigamy PERIODPERIOD in Christianity, I advise you go to your pastor declare ur feelings and I bet they will take actions for you to fully settle the 2nd wife so that she can leave a good life and be free to remarry and if she refuses,you have to pacifer her and get her her own apartment without having further sexaul relationship with her(hoping she will accept her fate and move on without u) while ur 1st wife must take her kids in without segregation, its not really an easy thing to achieve that's why they Say its easy to destroy but hard to repair |

Eyekandi: I ddnt feel a bit of love in ur response, u sound as if d marriage is a like a burden that was released from u.... if truely u love ur husband and ur family u will knw it s nt that easy... and maybe u re used to pain bfre,dats y u could handle d situation but mind u, nt everybdy hav dsame mind. Do u knw that alone can cause a lot, infact a desperate wife will conclude to assassinate the husband cuz she will feel it s either d man belongs to her or nobody rather than leave her for another person. if u wana understand better, relate it with bf/ gf relatnship stuff dat one partner commit suicide cuz he/she feels cheated. 1 Like |

wiseoneking: You don't have the complete lists of all the men in the new testament and their marriage register. Do you? Why would Paul caution those who desire to be Bishop or Pastors to marry only one wife if there were no Christians with more than one wife at the time? Whether the Christians had the wives before they became Christian or after was not referenced. Again, he never extended his caution to those who desired to become Bishops to send away the second wife and kids they had before they became Christians. Moreover, the reason why Paul advocated for one wife for a Bishop or celibate(Single) Missionary like some of them were is obvious if you studied new testament. It has nothing to do with making Heaven So, where in the world do 'Holier than thou' get the kind of Restitution of sending away second wife and kids? Holier than thou Assemblies are terrible and dangerous to themselves and the body of Christ 1 Like |

Student125: Assassinate bawo? so isn't it better you let him go since you don't love him than kill him because u love him so much? the gf/bf relationship, so if ur gf says she isn't interested anymore, because u love her so much and want her happiness, u let her go! abi you'd assassinate her? We love differently young man, leaving that marriage is a sign of love. |

Op your are a christian now.christ Should be your perfect example. Instead of bringing the topic here where muslims, athiest, babalawo, Buddhist etc will give you unbiblical advice, just pray about it and read Gods word WITH AN OPEN MIND and watch the holy spirit teach you what to do. Remain blessed |
