macof:

In other words Abraham shouldn't be a role model in christianity

It's either that or Christianity is hypocritical

Chillisauce: What's going here?
Cococandy, who is annoying you on a public forum?

cococandy: annoyed?

No be me o

Just surprised some folks here are trying to control what others type that is not going against NL rules.

Phema: Can you all just stop bickering?!? Now you've succeeded in chasing the OP away. She couldn't even find the moral support she was seeking.

OP please, you should continue to pour your heart out here (or to anyone who isn't judgemental). You need all the emotional support you can get at this time.

May you go through this phase in sound mind and good health. It is well.

soonest:
If polygamy is so beautiful as u guys claim, why is it not a number one preference. Why is Op feeling the way she does? Why is it that many ladies that their religion permit polygamy still don't want to share?

soonest: Pickabeau come o! Are u seeing wot am saw?

pickabeau1:

wat is u saw

soonest:
That was in Zebrudaya's voice.
The thread has started turning religious as you predicted

tbaba1234:

That has never been my claim, that polygamy is 'so beautiful'. My claim is that, it is a choice and it can also be a good one, if the circumstances are right.

My religion permits polygamy but it also places conditions. Which is:

If you can not maintain justice between them, marry only one.

I will be marrying only one wife because I understand the difficulty of maintaining justice between them.

However, if a man decides, he is up to that task. I can not begrudge him.

It is a choice at the end of the day.

In Islam, a woman can add it as a precondition for marriage if she does not want it.

It is not a 'must do' thing.

As for the op, her feelings are perfectly normal. It does not mean, she can not still have a happy marriage.

She can learn to accept it and work on the necessary boundaries.

carefreewannabe:

Are you a Christian?

Have you taken the time to study this religion?

If you answer both questions with a no, it's better you stop discussing it before you learn a few things about this religion.

I am not discussing Islam with Muslims because I am not well informed, so please, do the same.

carefreewannabe:

Christianity first emerged as a sect of Judaism, and in the beginning embraced many Judaic views and practices. Abraham is known to be one of the first Jews. Within decades of Jesus' death, Christians began distinguishing themselves from their Jewish neighbors but they have kept the Old Testament, in which most people were Jews. Abraham was not a Christian and he even wasn't a Jew in his early life. He worshipped idols in the beginning. Christianity came into existence much later. The New Testament was written after Jesus' death and is the more important part of the Bible for Christians.

cococandy: One can see you're eager to make this a religious bashing thing.

No Abraham isn't the role model. Christ is.stop being dane!

jumzzy448: @ macof, let's not bring religion into this discussion. Let's discuss polygamy in general and not based on religion.

soonest:
If you have something against monogamy, bring on your argument. Don't try to turn this thread into a religious one. When the table turns,your lot will start inviting MOD and superMOD.

carefreewannabe:

Just for your information and before you continue to pass judgements about a religion you obviously know little about, Abraham wasn't even Christian.

Shirley07:
Abraham didn't practise polygamy though because he never married another wife until Sarah died. Even then, he only had conbubines and he regarded the concubines' children together with Haggai's son as badstards.
Haggai was a slave and still remained a slave woman, don't get it twisted!

carefreewannabe:

It doesn't really matter how many wives and concubines he had as the New Testament states that it should be one wife and wife husband.



Just saying.

Ghost01: Macof, you bad o.

macof:

Haggai was wat, a prostitute he had a one night stand with abi??

Or because you didn't read of a wedding ceremony you conclude their union wasn't official??

Wat about David? Jacob and the strong Solomon

macof:

The guy abi na girl, said nothing good comes out of polygamy when the father came out of polygamy

Na dem use their finger yarb dem papa

moca:

(I am on fire! )

macof:

Then pls tear out the old testament from the Christian Bible.
As long as Christian role models were polygamous, you can't come here using christianity to judge

macof:

I know more about christianity than you can ever know

Jesus wasn't Christian either so WTF are you saying??
