i sense high levels of deceit and misinterpretations of this chapter to sweet your islamic view.

The original that was ask is about divorcing a WIFE not wives

3. Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his WIFE for any and every reason? " 4. "Haven't you read," he (Jesus) replied, "that at the beginning the Creator `made them male and female ,'

and jesus furthers make his stands clear that God in the beginning of creation make them male and female and the two will become one .........NO rooms for WIVES

5. and said, `For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? 6. So they are no longer two, but one . Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

you intentional quote verse of this chapter with RED to make looks as jesus was talking about wives. this is falsehood, jesus use WIVES in this verse because is addressing the group of Pharisees that come to questions him in pluralism to them, jesus is not make case for polygamy hence jesus would have contradicts him by referring to what God said in the beginning.

Genesis 2

23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ’woman,’ for she was taken out of man."
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his WIFE (not wives), and they become one flesh.

in quran there is a place allah commended muslims on the number of wives they can marry .................
but muslim have beengoing around misinterpreting mis quoting the bible on issue of polygamy, they claim bible and God support polygamy..............

my question is, if God true support polygamy , it will be my pleasure if any muslim could show me where God in bible give commands on numbers of wives to be marry as suppose god of quran did ?

in the beginning God create one man and one woman clearly says one man one woman and the two become one .......if God want or support polygamy as muslim want us to believe, God would have lay the foundation by creating more than one woman for adam .

ITS A SERIOUS MATTER ...........

genesis 2:23-24

also

PROVERBS 5:17-19
17 Let them be yours ALONE And not for strangers with you. 18 Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice
in the WIFE(not wives) of your youth. 19 As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love.

MALACHI 2:14
But you ask, "Why [aren't our offerings accepted]?" It is because the LORD is a witness between you and the WIFE (not wives) of your youth, to whom you have been unfaithful. Yet, she is your companion, the wife of your marriage vows.

1 + 1 = can and will never be 1

that is our own opinion not God ways, if God want man to have more than one wife he would have established in genesis 2. this was the same point jesus make, in the beginning it wasn't so , one man one woman. mathematics of in marriage and spiritual ream is different from what is been thought in schools. God 1+1 in marriage is 1.

FriendChoice:
Qur’an is the only religious Scripture on the face of the earth, that says…Marry only one. No Scripture
says Marry only one, except the Holy Qur’an.

Nisa Ch. No. 4, V. No. 3, “ Marry woman of your choice, in twos, threes or fours. But if you cannot do justice, marry only one”

– Islam puts an upper limit.

_ In other ways of life, you can marry as many as you want – no upper limit.

Islam puts on upper limit, of maximum four. But you can marry, only if you can do justice. If you can’t do justice, marry only one.

And the Qur’an says in Surah Nisa, Ch. No. 4, V. No. 129, that… “If It is difficulty to do justice between your wives. So don’t altogether turn away from them”.

In Exodus 21:10 , a man can marry an infinite amount of women without any limits to how many he can marry.

In 2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3 , King

David had six wives and numerous concubines. In 1 Kings 11:3 , King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.

Before I present the verses from the New Testament that allow polygamy, I first would like to prove to you that Jesus peace be upon him did honor the laws of the Old Testament, and did order his followers (the Christians as we call them) to follow the laws of the Old Testament:

Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18) "

Some Christians Not all always say as an excuse "Oh this law doesn't exist in the New Testament, it is only the Old Testament." Well, according to Matthew 5:17-18 above, we clearly see that Jesus honored the Old Testament, and forces Christians to follow the unmodified laws of it that have not been replaced by newer ones in the New Testament. The Old Testament as we clearly see above does indeed allow polygamy without a shadow of a doubt !!. There is not a single verse from the New Testament that prohibits polygamy.

Some Christian Believe In The Old Testament But I Don't Know If @OP does







[b]Matthew 19:1-12

"1. When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2. Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3. Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason? " 4. "Haven't you read," he (Jesus) replied, "that at the beginning the Creator `made them male and female ,'

5. and said, `For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? 6. So they are no longer two, but one . Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

7. "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?" 8. Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.

9. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." 10. The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."

11. Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it." [/b]

In the above verses, we see that Jesus was approached with a question about whether or not it is allowed for a man to divorce his wife in Matthew 19:3 . Jesus immediately referred to the Old Testament for the answer in Matthew 19:4 . He referred to Adam and Eve, one man and one woman. The Old Testament does talk about the story of Adam and Eve as one husband and one wife. However, the Old Testament which Jesus had referred to in Matthew 19:3 does allow polygamy.


Also, when a man becomes a one flesh with his wife in Matthew 19:5-6 , this doesn't mean that the man can't be one flesh with another woman. He can be one flesh with his first wife, and one flesh with his second wife, and one flesh with his third wife and so on

And also Exodus 21:10 allows a man to marry an infinite amount of women without any limits to how many he can have.

have addressed this before . God is addressing issues of polygamy among Israelite which they have been into before the law was given.
