You know a day is coming when you will account for everyone of they you uttered here on Earth.
You report me? To who exactly? The DSS or EFCC? The Mods? Lala come and see someone who called my Prophet a gigolo and still want to report me for quoting a Bible Verse that says he should be mindful of his words.

Focus on your Islam. Christianity teaches one man to one wife. Christianity doesn't endorse sexual promiscuity like Islam does.
yazach:


So you as a Christian, you don't understand the Bible.

The verse is not in anyway restricting number of wives. Let the fact sink to your head ok!!!

You are no longer reporting me but pointing to my illiteracy. Good. I can see that being abusive is second nature to you. Keep it up. That day is coming when your Lord will call you to account, just be sure you won't be among those he will deny. And to show how pathetic you are, you are calling on Seun: a confessed Atheist to your aid.

Abraham was never a Jew! The word\name Jew came from Judah, one of the son of Jacob; Abraham's grandson. How can I come from the tribe or be named after my own Grandson's name? Is that not odd? Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian.

Christians came after the birth Christ, not before Christ.

David was never a Christian. Marrying more than one wife is adultery against the first. Marriage in the right context as ordained by God consisted of one man and one wife. Even in the new testament it is clearly stated that a man should be with one wife. Look up the verses.

Lukuluku69:
Abraham: Friend of God had 3 Wives.
David: A man after God's heart had many wives.
Solomon: He built God a Temple, he had over a hundred And 600 concubines.
Jacob: The progenitor of the Jews\Israel had 2 wives and 2 side Chics.
Jesus: He did not marry.
Abraham didn't marry three wives. He married one : Sarah. The latter two : Hagar and Keturah were not married, they were concubines. meanwhile, Keturah became a concubine after Sarah's death. The affair with Hagar was a result of the impatience in every man today... Of that he broke relationship with upon counsel by His wife also who instigated the move at first.



Jesus Christ didn't come to marry. He was a man on a mission. The circumstance of his mission or life's purpose does not permit him to marry. He'd be a thwarting of purpose to have married.
Paul likewise, it wasn't fitted with the kind of ministry he did and how sold out he was to God or has devoted himself. .
He recommended not to marry, not condemned marriage. in that scripture, he clearly states that He speaks by permission not by commandment. permission talks about the revelation he received that by liberty one could choose to abstain like himself did and not be condemned or judged wrong.. By commandment speaks about what God ordained with man from the beginning(for this purpose shall a man..... ).
either ways, by permission or commandment, one is not found to be outside of God's purpose. The reply of Jesus bears witness to this in Matt. 19.

But David marrying more than one wife wasn'the seen as something wrong. God praised David infact. Paul says it would be preferable for people to not get married at all.

Christian = follower of Christ so anyone who follows christ's principles and doctrines is a Christian.

Excuse you, show me the verse where God praised David for marrying more than one wife.
The way some of you spew rubbish about Christianity is dumbfounding.

Re: Can A Christian Man Marry More Than One Wife by Amberon11: 11:30pm On Jul 27, 2018
But when talking about it you said " God praised David infact"

David may have been a man after God's heart but it still didn't guarantee him a free ticket to heaven.

Whenever God talked about marriage in the Bible it was always this way "therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave until "his" wife and they "two" (not three) shall be one flesh.

Even when talking about ministers he always stressed on them having "one wife". There are no different laws for ministers and random Christians. We are one in Christ hence that command applied to us all.

You said that just because David was praised by God, it doesn't mean He is in heaven.

But seriously, if God wants us to marry only one wife, he would have shown us with Jacob and his wives. David toof. And God is an unchangeable god. So if he had no problem with them having multiple wives, he has no problem period.
Re: Can A Christian Man Marry More Than One Wife by Amberon11: 11:11am On Jul 28, 2018
God didn't show that he wanted men to marry one wife only by creating only Eve for Adam? Did God instruct Jacob it any person to marry more than one wife?

David despite being a friend of God couldn't save himself , Jesus Christ still had to come save all the saints, that's I meant by that statement.

There are several verses of the Bible where God instructed on marrying one wife only. Find them and stop deceiving yourself.
