Mrs.Chima:


What is logical about people contradicting themselves

Why did you bring "Jesus/God did not condemn polygamy? How is the Bible relevant to people's choice in what they will supports/believe in/perform in actions You stated...religion is political correct...in other words.. not LITERAL.

The bible outlined dislike/distaste in some things such as homosexuality/adultery..YET some Christians support/believes it is okay for man to marry man and the "devil" made them commit adultery because wife gotten fat.

According to many Africans....homosexuality is "western" and do not support "westernization" ...homosexuality is forbidden in Nigeria. SInce polygamy is not condemned and homosexuality is supported in many countries...should it be okay for men to have multiple husbands? Remember the Bible isn't against polygamy and indicates believers should follow the laws of the LAND.

Message to the atheists...I understand your stance now. I would be confused too if I were to listen to some ranting religious zealot preaching about righteousness and contradicting themselves at the same time.

That's the point/bottom line.

Sagamite:

I was actually referring to Xtians being against polygamy when if they looked at their teachings, polygamy was not forbidden. It appears to be a Western culture that was infused the religious teachings fed them. That is why I said Jesus did not condemn polygamy.

Maybe my bad for thinking you were a Xtian.

As per what the laws of the land should be, that should in my view be based on common sense, and in terms of homosexuality, I think Africans have got it more right (by accident) than the Western world.

Polygamy is a far more valid form of family unit than homosexuality and it pisses me off when these moronic West try and lecture other countries about gay marriage while banning polygamy themselves.

Mrs.Chima:


You obviously don't know anything about women (properly so called).

Mrs.Chima:


@bolded...I didn't know I had to do a research on family samples.

F00028:

oh I know women, I do. but I don't know what kinda man (properly so called) would let another man claim his child.




well, yes. seems like the decent thing to do if you're gonna be putting it out like that.

Mrs.Chima:


Just like I don't know why many Nigerian women accept/claim their husband's children from previous marriages. Don't you see how stup!d that sound?

why don't you conduct the research since you are curious.

Sagamite:

Internet mouth!

I got my PhD from the University of Sagamu!

Which one is internet mouth? mtcheww

Ehn! What has love got to do with it.

Sit there and accept the benefits of marriage na. At least he would still put a roof over your head.

Sagamite, this is very insulting. So a woman should take crap simply because of provision from her crappy spouse? A provision she has the ability of providing for herself without his paycheck? Would you offer the sam discipline to an abused woman? And please don't tell me they're different cases. Emotional, physical, and verbal abuse have not been shown to have different levels of effect on women. Until then, they're the same.

The kids need both parents.

Remember the mantra: "In the best interest of the kids".

You should always act in the West in the best interest of the kids, the parents interest is irrelevant.

Another flimsy excuse. A child needs both parents, but you have one parent acting like a stray dog? What is a parent to a child who thinks his father does not love him enough to not share his love outside his matrimonial home? What is a parent who has no time or attention for all his children?
Having one discipline parent is better than having one disciplined parent and one undisciplined one. How can you train your child to respect matrimonial sanctity when you disrespect it?

Very insulting. Garbage.


Customary marriages do not require a marriage licence. You just get the girl, family meet family and pakurumo in a nice bedroom to fire.

US courts will not recognise that as marriage.

The only asset my client would have in USA is a high-purchase Jeep.



Why would women not have all properties in her husband's name? Is marriage not about 100% trust? Why are women so unromantic.

Please stop, this is not even a joke.


Like if you don't want a baaad boy. A reeeeeal thug!


A polygamous man is not a bad boy, he's an imbe cilic ediot (nicer than what I had in mind).

F00028:
one woman multiple husbands? hmmm...
how they gonna be sure who fathered which child?
what happens to the guy whose "turn" it is when the woman starts her period?

F00028: how would that work?

Mrs.Chima:


I have stated multiple times I am not religious and people who are religious are MORE CONFUSED than atheists....this thread proved it tremendously and secondly...envy and hatred is classified as sins according to the Bible. How can it be good for a family unit if two wives in a polygamous clan are envious and consumed with hatred for other wives and their children

Mrs.Chima:

Just like you don't like the West preaching against acceptance of polygamy...the West do not like you and others preaching against acceptance of homosexuality. Just because a book states homosexuality is a sin and nothing mention of condemnation of polygamy doesn't mean that everyone has to follow it.

Simple.

lekibraky: U will Neva appreciate the help polygamy has to offer the society until u search for husband and u did not see one and unroll u are a widow and u need some1 to marry again cos u are still young to let go of bleeping ir most war has claimed the lives of many men in ur country and the only choice u have is to become second wife u will Neva think twice to becoming a second wife stop says poo and thank God u are d only one in ur husband's hand as u claim

Mrs.Chima:


Since you want to get technical....let go there.
*lol!*
According to the Bible....*and the epistle of Mrs. Chima*

God didn't say HE was against racism/tribalism....
*'thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself'*
God didn't say HE was against stabbing and shooting another human being..
*'thou shalt not kill'*
God didn't say HE was against necrophilism.....
*Er...are u sure u are using the bible?*
*'thou shalt not touch a dead animal, body or discharge....the person is unclean for 7days. Read Leviticus*

God didn't say HE was against slavery....*No he didnt. But he mentioned fairness*
God didn't say HE was against women wearing revealing clothes/wild hair styles...
*Now you are just being petty!*
God didn't say HE was against nine years old girls marrying old men
God didn't say HE was against wives having male friends and going out on dates with them.
*No. He said u shd honour ur husband. If he is against the date, then u shd reconsider.*

You get the point.....
*NO I DONT!*
*U just tried to weaken my arguement by overgeneralizing!*
The bible also said that believers should not only follow the laws of the Bible...but also the laws of the land. There are millions of believers breaking laws on both side and justifying it with..."it was the devil that made me do it"

In THE SAME BIBLE...in Genesis...illustrated a MAN leaving his mother and father and cleaved as ONE WITH HIS WIFE....NOT WIVES. Nothing in the Bible speaks about a man leaving his wife to cleaved into another wife.

Someone mentioned Abraham had multiple wives...He had two wives and one concubine before he married the third wife that is said to be the Mother of Islam beliefs. Hagar was a servant girl entrusted to Abraham to bore him children because Sarah...the first wife had complications.
*But He was not against it!*
Speaking of polygamy...according to the Bible...God didn't say HE was against polyandry. *NO he dint!*
But why it is harder for men to digest the concept of polyandry since God didn't speak AGAINST the concept of multiple partners but in Ephesians illustrated the concept of LONE WIFE??

The old testament and new testament have different perspectives. Old testament is before coming of Christ whereas the new testament is after the coming of Christ. If you properly research you will see the decline of polygamous relationships in the new testament as disciples encourages the idea of monogamous marriages.
*TRUE. Encouraged!Not commanded!! We know the benefits.*
The Bible also speaks about defiling the marital bed, adultery, and fornication.
*Its not the same!*
Since we are being technical....God didn't say HE was against polygamy but spoke of HIS dislikes regarding divorces, homosexuality, and those who practices "black magic.
*TRUE*.
In Matthews, it spoke about the ownership of man and wife....what if the second wife want attention when it is not her turn because he is husband to the other wife and why shouldn't the wife have to wait her turn since the Bible speaks against defiling...some people believe defiling means bring outside person into the marital bed which can be one aspect of defiling but according to the dictionary....
....
de·file 1 (d-fl)
tr.v. de·filed, de·fil·ing, de·files
1. To make filthy or dirty; pollute: defile a river with sewage.
2. To debase the pureness or excellence of; corrupt: a country landscape that was defiled by urban sprawl.
3. To profane or sully (a reputation, for example).
4. To make unclean or unfit for ceremonial use; desecrate: defile a temple.
5. To violate the chastity of.
*that....(all those) does not define polygamy*
Isn't rejecting a wife's needs and requests violates and debases her?
*So, it does not happen with one wife? Dont tell me u always feel like 'it'! That does not mean he/she goes out for it!*
Do you think jealousy and resentment is corrupt or natural? Would you support polyandry since God didn't say HE was against polygamy according to the Bible?
*That's where the 'man' is the 'head' comes in! If u can be the head of men, why not?!*



IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A BIBLE DEBATE WE CAN!!

naijababe: Nothing wrong with polygamy, just how people some practise it. I obviously do not like it but sometimes it's the most practical thing to do. I hope my hubby does not read this post sha, lest he starts to get any strange ideas.

Sagamite:

Look, why are you always making efforts to be reasonable and not emotional about issues na?

Are you not suppose to respond to issues like a woman?

naijababe:
I don't have to try Sagamu, I am a reasonable and LOGICAL human being, unlike you . Besides, did u miss the part where I said I don't like it ?

MRbrownJAY:

lol, you are searching for issues where there are none.
is there no DNA test available to prove who the father is?

MRbrownJAY:

it would work as simply as this: WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS EVEN BETTER FOR THE GANDER.

Sagamite:

There is no way you can be completely reasonable and logical except you are from Sagamu or have drank the water from a river there unfiltered.

You don't like it is not a big deal. I have no intention of practicing polygamy does not mean I can not be logical about it.

F00028: you make it sound like a DNA test is something us poor folks can get over the counter at the local chemist.

that's assuming the goose and the gander are the same.

naijababe:

Exactly! BTW, the most reasonable and logical people in Ogun State are my kinsmen, AWORIS!

MRbrownJAY:

is a blood test also that difficult to get?



they are NOT, but have the same requirement/desires.

pDude: Nothing wrong with it. Father Abraham was polygamous.

Weave:

which of ur father Abrahams was polygamous u obviously dont know d bible, come meet people like ME instead of saying rubbish. God didnt regard Ishmael, whom Sarah's maidservant, Hagar had. as God told him to sacrifice his only son Isaac. go read Gen 22;2

holla for more help
