Frosbel2, nice one.
Anyone who has read the Bible like I have, would know that Yahweh supports polygamy wholeheartedly.

He also supports slavery and sex slaves whole heartedly too. Inshort, he tells them who to take and who not to take. He told them how to Bleep their slaves and how to treat them after the act. Does that make it right too? You guys just sellect passages that suit your needs. If we decide to implement all the things the Bible permits and those it rejects, do you think Christianity would be what it is today? Jesus even asked slaves to be humble and good to their masters. Does that mean we should start buying people since Jesus did not openly condemn the act?

"...husband of one wife..."can also be translated " husband of a wife..." which will then mean a single man should not be a deacon/bishop. The Greek word is mia and it can be translated as "a". E.g a boy= one boy. I'm not endorsing polygamy but I thought this should be mentioned.

bennyann:


The problem is you lust after so many women that's why you want to abuse polygamy. Since the time of the old testament men have been made to twists the law to their favour but not now. How can the law be made to favour you because your hearts are hardened?

You are letting your emotion get in the way of logic, first off I have one wife.

Secondly, these so called old testament men who married more than one wife were highly esteemed by God and even one was called a man after God's own heart.

God never called David an adulterer for marrying more than one wife, he called him an adulterer for stealing and sleeping with another man's wife and then making sure the man got killed.

Solomon was not condemned for marrying more than one wife though we can argue he went into excess. Solomon was condemned for marrying women who worshiped idols.

Nobody was condemned throughout the bible for marrying more than one wife , so your argument is extremely fallacious and totally baseless.

You're in charge of your life now so it's your choice.

No wonder many so called Christians have concubines outside because they've been eying polygamy.

All because of sex, sex, sex, sex and sex, you forgot your first love.

The reason why your Christian brothers have many concubines is because they have listened to the wrong advice of so-called pastors who not only mislead them but in many cases prevent them from marrying early and in many cases from marrying the right person.

Your men of god and priests are a different matter, they are the Number 1 Hypocrites worldwide, more so than Imams and Muslims scholars who at least practice what they preach. These your leaders are liars, sexual predators, and perpetrators of sexual perversion.

I know what polygamy does to children and the entire family and I don't want to be part of those that don't want to change that. I care for my unborn children. And any responsible man out there will love his wife as he loves himself, otherwise, he should let the woman have fun too.

Hmm, it depends, there are many dysfunctional monogamous homes with litters of illegitimate children and there are many polygamous homes that are fully functional with children born within the confines of God-sanctioned marriage.

Hypocrites!

Yep, this word hypocrite very precisely defines the behavior of Christians and their mostly useless pastors who preach one thing and do the other.

Hypocrites all of them

Yeah, I think I'm letting my emotions get in the way.

And I never said anyone was condemned but anyone who has the Spirit of God in Him knows the answer to which is more Honourable and desired by God, whether is polygamy or monogamy.

But if Christians are to go by loving our neighbors as ourselves, would anyone like that who loves his wife as himself go for another partner?

Didn't you leave Christianity because of such since you defend polygamy to this extent?

He's only doing what the Bible says.

Mzlady39, you can visit this thread. If frosbel's thread ain't enough. https://www.nairaland.com/3344178/christian-god-yahweh-supports-polygamyhow

Wow...i finally was able to get a response from you brother Raphie Montella...which I like your name by the way.
Thanks.....but I think I'm good on this topic

frosbel2:

I thought so

bennyann:

this sounds funny

how you mixed neighbour and wife

MZLady39:



I thought so

Nope, I seek not another wife, one is more than enough for now !

raphieMontella:

If two can become one flesh.. ..
Give me a comprehensive reason why 3 can also not become one flesh.
Give scriptural reference condemning polygamy for floor members of the church.

The bible said TWO ( the man and his wife ) will become one flesh . NOT three , if the followers of Christ are to practice polygamy Jesus won't have specifically said TWO.

Jozzy4:

Grasping at straws.
That means when Yahweh said in Isaiah something 7 women shall take hold of one man, he means we should marry 7 women.

raphieMontella:

Grasping at straws.

show me the straw in that clear statement? a man will leave his Father and cling to his wife, and the TWO will be one flesh . dont insult intelligence please

That means when Yahweh said in Isaiah something 7 women shall take hold of one man, he means we should marry 7 women.

The verse says nothing about marriage. Wake up

frosbel2:

I knew....lol...was just kidding. Read where you said you were married.
It's good to meet an honest man....in that aspect.

lol, Protestantism has become a heresy birthing anomalies.

Ubenedictus:
lol, Protestantism has become a heresy birthing anomalies.

First off I am not a protestant or even a Christian for that matter.

That being said, the Roman Catholics cannot talk, they are the 'de la crème' of sexual evil and all the wickedness that is associated with it - worldwide.

Pastafarian:

Bro, your closest neighbor is your wife now

There are no different sins for pastors and floor members. Sin is sin and God is no respecter of persons. Whatever qualifications or status one has doesn't reduce their punishment for sins when their time runs out.

When God said a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and become one flesh, was he referring to pastors? No!

However here is a verse below
Titus 1: 6 if a man is blameless , the husband of one wife , having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination.

Anything other than monogamy is adultery.

I can see that 'de la hoya' is trying frantically to justify why he should take a 2nd wife.

Don't stretch the truth.

raphieMontella:

He's only doing what the Bible says.

I also stated what the Bible said.

So we are both correct then

Like I said, give me a comprehensive reason why three cannot become one, if two people can become oNe flesh.

Why are you this sly?
This passage was talking about elders of the church ...
2 other Bible versions clearly stated elder in where you inputed Man.. .

Anything other than monogamy is adultery.[quote]I'm still waiting for proof of this. Remember, Yahweh's paddy Moses ,he was polygamous

raphieMontella:

So can we start practicing slavery? Since we want to start applying everything they bible excused. We may have to start doing and permitting a lot of things the Bible encouraged.

Trust me if I had the money and lived in Africa I would marry a second wife - does that satisfy your religious curiosity Mr. Deeperlife ?

Am I God that said two shall become one? Maybe you need to direct that question to God himself

Oga , I'm not the author of the bible. I didn't add nor subtract anything from that verse. That verse said "Man". And like I told you there are no separate rules for pastors and floor members of a church. A christian is a christian. If God had said floor members marry one wife; you mischievous discord sowers would've come saying the rule is only for floor members and not pastors.

When God said A man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they two shall become one flesh, was he referring to elders. I understand Christianity isn't for the feeble minded so pls stick with atheism.

The OP is a homosexual. Only homosexuals write such false topics.

Brainwashed idi0t!

frosbel2:


So all God's henchmen in the bible married more than one wife and then God decided 2000 years later to make it a sin for anyone else who wants to marry more than one wife ??

Thank God I have been de-brainwashed from religious myopia and dogma.

frosbel, you have really changed, are you now an atheist, agnostic, deist?. Know you to be a christian crusader years back.
