The question is does God prefer his type? Not whether you prefer his type or not

1 Timothy 3:1-3 KJV
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
[2] A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
[3] Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

Genesis 25:6
(ABRAHAM)
but while he was still alive, he gave presents to the sons his other wives had borne him.
Genesis 31:50
(JACOB)
Leban went on, "if you ill-treat my daughters or marry other women..."
2 Samuel 3:2
(DAVID)
The following six sons, in the order of their birth, were born to David at Hebron: Amnon, whose mother was Ahinoam...,Chileab, whose mother was Abigail..., Absalom...

From the foregoing, the passages you quoted were mere letters sent to Timothy from Paul. Those were clearly Paul's personal opinion not Gods opinion.

Proverbs 26:5 (the verse next to the one you just quoted)

Answer a fool according to his Foolishness, or he will be wise in his own eyes.

Hole-ly BuyBull is a Conflicting book which faithfools picks and chooses verses from it based on his/her preconceived conclusions. the conclusions are already made so they go to the Holy Babble to look for verse supporting it

The Bible is the world's longest-running, most widely respected, and least reliable Rorschach Test. You can look in it and see anything you want to see, find anything you want to find, justify any pre-ordained conclusion you prefer, or validate any prejudice because the Bible has it all: love, hate; revenge, redemption; war, peace; slavery, freedom; humility, arrogance; kindness, cruelty; and, as Mark Twain observed, “upwards of a thousand lies”!

donbachi:

Because Jacob do it doesn't make it legal.

I dont know why you people are like this.

So why dont God give Adam two wives since that's your perspective.

And mind you a bishop is not allowed to be polygalist, his better he leave the post.

Since most of those people induce in some act like killing, raping e.t.c why dont you said those one too is legal according to your perspective.

I hope the polygamy issue triggered the protest because I am thinking if he took good care of his priests and managed the Diocese very well if there would have been a protest.

You brilliantly cherry pick OT but when it's quoted against you, your likes will shout it's OT. Hypocritical bunch of folks

It’s good you’re admitting that

The polygamy issue didn't trigger it. The guy simply didnt share enough money to top ranked individuals.

Randy100:
I can't go to any church that is not catholic. I can't imagine that the celebrant has a wife and children.

What will you do if you discover that the celebrant has girlfriends and fvck members of CWO?

And what happens when Catholic Church allows priests to marry and have kids?

You will leave the Church, abi?

Lolz. God's way is not of a man.

But seriously i dont see any reason for a man to be polygamy if not for lust.

If Adam can live with one wife throughout his life why can't you do so.

How far ? You like this my name eh !

afroniger:


Then that god of the bible is a god of contradictions because he tolerated the old testament patriachs' philandering and polygamous lifestyle and even prospered and validated them. The number two verse you quoted is too ambiguous to definitely bar a bishop from having more than one wife because it is still subject to interpretation. As a matter of fact, the entire bible is subject to interpretation which is why there are so many sects of the religion with different doctrines. Even nature itself tolerates and validates polygamy. Why is the entire bible filled with so much contradictions??

I believe you'll also support polyandry in the same manner?? hypocrites, ye Pharisees and Sadducees.... pick your stones and throw them at yourselves. the word of God is true and sharper than any 2 edged sword, enough to delineate and reveal the truth to true believers.

Christianity has lost it.

I guess you dont know woman and jealously that's the reason why you think the second one will stop Adam from eating it.

Well from my own perspective of woman, the second wife will make Adam eat from the second tree of life. Or what did you think?

Genesis 25:1 Then AGAIN Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
