It Seems God Is Okay With Polygamy by Kalatium(m): 12:07pm On Oct 31, 2016 |
It seems God is not against polygamy Throughout the old testament, God allowed the Israelites to marry more than one wife(polygyny) eg Solomon, David etc. It seems God is not against it, he is silent about it. But in the new testament Paul made reference to marrying one wife. This is contradictory. The church today don't allow polygamy. It is a sin I need your contributions. Thanks. |

One wife, celibacy,Trinity, original sin and divinity of Jesus are some of the inventions that are now mainstream in Christianity. Read Church history and how Pauline Christian distorted Jesus teaching. 2 Likes |

Kalatium: An aspect of God you need to understand is that He reveals Himself based on dispensation of generations He deals with. The generation of mankind in Old Testament differs from ours as follows : No remission for sin had been paid. They worked with imperfect law The son had not been revealed to reveal the true nature of father. There was no baptism of Holy Spirit and it's indwelling. Those men were natural men with limited and often occasional inspiration of Holy Spirit. Hence the rule applies "to whom much is given, to whom much is expected. |

Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1 Timothy 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. |

waldigit: Jesus in mat 19:4 codes Gen 2:24 in the OT, but why didn't Israelites like David, Solomon follow this when it's in the scriptures Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1 Timothy 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. This only apply to church leaders and not to other Christians, It is referring to a Bishop, deacons etc. Non apply to others. Even the new testament is silent about this. 1 Like |

Before you comment always know that it's easier to believe a known lie than an unknown truth. |

@ Kalatium I commend your Good insight at bringing up this subject for discussion. But if we look at the standard in the garden of Eden , it was monogamy ... If Gods plan was monogamy , he should have created wives for Adam instead of WIFE its true he later tolerate polygamy, but that wasn't the original standard , consider this : many of the Israelites struggle with obeying many of what was written in the scriptures , how much harder will it be for them to obey the standard set in the garden of Eden ? in fact you will notice that the scripture detailed the many hardship experienced in those polygamous homes . e.g Abraham , Sarah and her servant . Jacob , Lea , Racheal and their servants . rivalry and war but when Jesus Christ came , the Lord set the original standard for his followers .
not at all sir ! " and the two will be one flesh, so they are no longer two but one flesh" Mark 10:8. Note " the TWO" , not three , four or five of them . but the TWO revealing that the Christian arrangement should follow the Eden standard . Adam and Eve ( the two) to be sarcastic , even human nature against polygamy . see how women change once they realise they don get rival. hehehehe wahala |

Kalatium: Leaders are role models. The are supposed to be ideal prototype of finished product. Jesus said greater work than he did we would do if we can attain to his height in faith. Leaders lead by perfect example of what everybody should be. In other words they set the standard of perfection. |
