bro Abraham was not a christian, but a Jew. Christ is our example that is why we are christians. One wife and one husband, any other marriage aside one wife is not recognized by God as marriage but adultery.

Under the old covenant it was permitted but under the new tastament it is only one wife

bedspread:
Very Scriptural ...... all other women apart from the 1st wives are Robbers.... Except in a case where the First wife is Dead.....

Secondly Divorce is not Scriptural it's not of GOD

Read Matthew 19:4-9. Malachi 2:16

asuustrike2009:

No the Bible doesn't support divorce. In this instance the man can still live with the women but they are no more his wives. No conjugal duties. It is advisable he send away. The standard of God doesn't change. He doesn't change his word or standard to suit man.

Pierohandsome:
they were never regarded as wives in the first place. The one recognized as wife is the first one u Married, the other 2 u married after are not wives by scriptures so they are free to re-marry. It is the first wife that is regarded by God as a wife and she cannot re-marry

somehow:
Only scriptural explanation on people with more than one wife is inability to hold any positions in the church, nothing else.

You mustn't dirvoce any of the wives as long as you married them legally.


Read your bible and stop the follow follow.

Please, I want to know because it is practised in many Pentecostal churches. If you marry two or more wives before you got born again, you have to leave one and live with just one. this act of forsaking is known as restitution. I really want to know if this is scriptural.

Pierohandsome:
common sense is in that verse. If the bible says that shall not steal, and u are in possession of what does not belong to u. Do u need a bible verse to tell u to return it, do u hold on to the stolen item? Common sense wil tell anyone to return it if u really want to repent.

U said it is marriage process, the vers said they 2 shall become one, is that a process or makeup?if he says 2 why making it 3 or 4? And if u have already made it 3 instead of 2 that he commands, do u need Jesus to come and write another bible for u on what to do? The bible says wisdom is profitable to direct.

so why did God not frown at all the patriarchs that hav more than one wife

asuustrike2009:

Gen 2:22-24 God made man and woman not man and women
Prov 18:22 He that finds wife not wives
Mat 19:4-6, Mark 10:6-9 in the beginning it was one man one wife not wives

Right from the beginning God has ordained marriage between a man and woman. So if a man marries more than one wife he is going against the scriptures.

Pierohandsome:
i dnt knw why u are arguing. If u knw it u shouldn't have bothered asking. U asked for clarification and somebody is giving u answer and u are argueing in it again.

U are not getting the point. Dnt call them wives they are not wives. The only wife among the 3 is the 1st one, the other 2 are not recognized by God as wives but adulterous partners that is why it is a sin.

The bible is clear on this issue, under the new covenant it is only one wife that is allowed any additional one is adultery which u must return them to go marry their own husband properly because by scripture u are not their God's ordained husband.

Pierohandsome:
Mat 19:4-6

The above scripture gave us a clear picture abt hw many partners should be involve in marriage. The above scripture clearly stated that it is between a man and a woman ,not women. It said they two shall become one ,not they 3 or they 4 shall become one flesh. If the bible says 1 and u married 2 or 3, must u wait for the bible to tell u to return them b4 u believe it is not right?
Whn u miss ur way u have to retrace it and not continuing in it. As far as the scripture is concerned the other 2 are not recognized by God because the bible made us to uNderstand that it is only meant for a man and a woman ,so the other 2 are jst in adulterous relationship as far as God is concerned.

Because they were ignorant. But this present generation he is stricter because they know too much

PSTEMMA1960:
first of all i want u to know that Jesus never told Zacchaeus to give half of his property to the poor or restore x4 of whatever he has taken from anyone..

let's put it this way, if a man married 2 wives and the 2 wives have all giving birth to grow up children, and latter the man gives his life to christ, do u expect him to divorce the second wife and also disown the children he had with her？

if u have already married b4 without knowing God we call it the days of ignorance, and the bible says that the time of ignorance that God overlooks..

u have to take care of all of them as ur wives with thier children, God is nt a wicked man who is always looking 4 a reason to punish u or send us to hell..

bro, show me where we can find marriage restitution in the new covenant. I mean where its written dat u can forsake a wife after being born again.

Exponental:
Lol...... Some over sabi Christians forming I too know. As a Catholic, no communion. In some churches you can't hold some key positions and so on.

LadyExcellency:
Should a born again Christian be sleeping with two or three women at will in the name of "legal wives"?

Op, I need answer
