Tomilola360:You really wish that just because you said it, means that it is true!!!! My home have cathechists, choir members, mass servants, born again christian. My father before his death, was a born again.chrsitian. When he died, my.house was.full to the brim with morners. Beside me, someone who did not know I was his son said in a low voice to her friends, if not for the kind of person he is, you will not see so many people come to his funeral. Your bible says by their fruits you shall know them. Some of the fruits of the spirit of God is peace, love, kindness, long suffeing, etc. And my father was a man of peace and wisdom. This is what.people who do.not even know that I was his son were saying at the funeral. Your bible also says you cannot give what you do not have. 2 Cor 8: 12 And my father had peace and wisdom which he gave to us his children which is even.sustaining us years after he passed away. The fact that my father showed this quality or fruit of the spirit means he had the spirit of God. And the bible says ''And you also became God's people when you heard the true message, the Good News that brought you salvation. You believed in Christ, and God put his stamp of OWNERSHIP on you by giving you the Holy Spirit he had promised.'' Eph 1:13 When peter wanted to use his own judgement to disqualify someone who God had accepted the same way you are doing now, God warned him.sternly like he is warning you through me that do not call unclean what I have made clean acts 10 vs 15. He even gave my father his holy spirit as his mark of ownership of him as the bible just told you. He also declared to.my father when he was been baptised, just as he declears to everyone who is baptised like jesus that you are his son in whom he is well pleased. He says for those who have believed, he gave rights to be called sons of God. And my father believed. So, you should just shut up already and remove from your mind the bad and wrong teachings you have. @HigherEd @Joagbaje @donnie @anas09 and the pesky goblin @righteousness2 what do you think? 1 Like |

Brushstrokes20: Your personal.experience.does not and cannot nullify an institution which I and many other people here have good experiences of. There is famous monogamous where alll the things you mentioned here were the order of the day: FAKE LOVE, BACK BITTING, HATRED, JEALOUSLY, etc... Guess which monogamous home was that....Isaac's, the son of Abraham. While the polygamous home Lamech had produced people who went on ahead to become captains of their respective industries as the bible mentioned. 19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle. 21 And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. Gen 4: 20 - 22. The had successful careers. This means they had good homes. Also, read here how 'hatred' and fake love so exists in monogamous homes that a younger brother beats elder sister to pulp and she disowns him. https://ynaija.com/tinsel-actress-disowns-kid-brother-beats-pulp-photos/

MiddleDimension: He was a core traditionalist now a Christian, though his wives attend church then, but can't say if their religious background before then, I was quite small and we only get to visit them twice in a year during Xmas and during his traditional new yam festival as a chief, my dad was also a traditionalist but will never succumb to marrying more than one wife as wanted by his mother. As regards abnormal issues, I never can tell since I don't live with them but from outside they are all going along well with unavoidable fights once in a while which I don't think is anyway related to their polygamous family cos even my own nuclear family has its issues, due to this I can't 100% say all is well as most people see my family and envy us but in all na endure we dey endure. In all, they go along well from the angle of an outsider that I am and all are married except the last born. 2 Likes |

@MiddleDimension, most people see religion as the beginning and the end of everything, religion is man made, reason why we have it different kinds and form. I had a better understanding of it when I read Purple Hibiscus. I have seen church leaders not one not two or three having multiple wives, will we now conclude they are not Christians? Even Jesus that we look up to did not get married, so should we all not get married to be christ like, the Bible has history of those with multiple wives and God no vex for them for a day, the main issue should be can you cater for them all and capable of ensuring peace and harmony amongst them? 2 Likes |

I remember when I was a kid, my big step brothers would be taking turns to carry me on their shoulders whenever we were trekking to our village which was few kilometres during weekend. I can't remember any of them ever treated me badly even when I was left with them alone. Even till now that time has scattered everyone, we still communicate on the phone. 2 Likes |

cayorday89: Lamech's home was so good, his children mentioned in the bible were sucessful in their careers. Bible says one was a music superstar like Micheal Jackson; and the other was an authority in handcraft making tents. This means he is the authority of the trade Paul took. Bible says Paul was a maker of tents. Someone said his father maintained a great polygamous home that even after he died, the love between him and his siblings is on another level yet, we have deeply immoral people coming up to say the person's father is irresponsible! Then you begin to wonder from that person's father who held a beautiful home, a home that has peace and stability where all members of the family are well educated to the university level; and the person who called his father irresponsible, who is not only irresponsible but immoral? Bible mentioned peace and love as fruits of the holy ghost. It also said those that are his, he gave the spirit as his mark of ownership of them. It says you cannot give what you do not have. And since his father was able to give peace and love, it means his father had peace and love in him. If his father has peace and love in him, then it is because he had the holy ghost because peace, love etc, are the fruits of the holyghost. That's how to know one has the holy ghost. Bible says by their fruits, you shall know them. You know a tree is a mango tree because of its fruits, not because of its leaves. It is not the only plant that has that kind of leaf. The dogoyaro tree that is planted beside the road in major cities has a leaf resembling the mango tree. But you cannot call it a mango tree why? Because it does not bear mango fruits. So, how to know one has the spirit of god is if he bears the fruit.of the spirit. That's why jesus said by their fruits you shall know them. So since he has the spirit of god, it follows then that he is owned by god. Bible says he gave them his spirit as his mark of ownership of them Eph 1: 13. God told david through nathan the prophet that he gave david his master's wives and if all of that was not enough, he would have given him more! Do not let anyone pass his ignorance and hatred of polygamy to you as the opinion of god on it. @Joagbaje and @donnie, what do you think? |

Brushstrokes20: I like the fact you said YOU HATE POLYGAMY. and like you said, you are entitled to your opinion. That does not mean polygamy is bad and that no one should not do it. If you hate polygamy, then don't do it. It is that simple!!! Oprah doesn't go with any type of marriage, did you see her get married? She stayed away! If you do not like polygamy, then you not doing it should be the only consequence of you not liking it. If you do not want others to do it, or you want the society to ban it, you are going to come up with another reason better than you not liking it. You said you are a realist. Are the examples that I and many other have given here fictional? We are not real entities with real life experiences? And why do you want me not to belive that you have actually seen glorious polygamous homes before but your passionate hate, as you put it, blinded you.from seeing and recording it in your mind that there are beautiful polygamous homes? Since you said one woman is already enough, are you not going to get married, then? Since you said you.believe in first hand experience, there are those who have got first hand bad experiences with monogamy like we see everyday in the divorce courts, do we now say monogamy is bad? |

GetMeRight: That's why we are debunking all their lies and making sure they do not have monopoly of the airwaves. If wee keep quiet, we give them monopoly of the airwaves and they shape minds. One of the challenges polygamous homes have to face today is the stigmatization and propaganda anti polygamy people have leveled against polygamy. If they knew polygamy very well and the benefit it has got for the society, they would probably choose it. Here is a beautiful video of polygamy being discussed for every one to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Ob6TdZHJE&t=224s |

GetMeRight: Thank you! I gave an example of where it exists in monogamy. The favouritism was so high, when the child being favoured by the mother who gave birth to him and his twin brother told the mother that if he decieves his father, he may bring curse upon himself, the mother told him: let the curse be on me! That's the level of favouritism even in monogamy!!!! |

Brushstrokes20: Here lies the problem. You think Polygamy is about sex. You perverts should never be haboured in a civilization! There are countless reserch done into monogamy that states the social, emotional and psychological benefits of polygamy amd you are here saying nonsense! You think polygamy is just polygyny, a man having more than one wife? You do not know there is polyandry too, a woman having more than one husband? If polygamy is all about woman's genetilia, what would you say about polyandry? Just because you wish for it to be bad does not mean it will ever become bad. You call polygamy evil, but monogamy is the biggest evil that ever exists for pretending it understands human psychology and it alone can fulfil societies needs. Deep thinkers will see no sense in what you are saying. Deep thinkers will actually do a study before they come up with any opinion, a study you obviously did not do and no.wonder.you have the warpest opinion that ever existed on the face of our planet. First of all, they have the warped idea that when polygamy is mentioned, that it is war all the way. But as this thread progressed, you saw examples and then you shifted your goal post. The reason I am not tired of this thread is because I am not trying to convince you, but i am presenting a different perspective which is superior to yours so that you do not have monopoly of the airwaves and shape minds the way your mind have been shaped. Its not like your thoughts originally was this way; it was only shaped by those who know nothing and the fact that we allowed them the monopoly of the airwaves. Take this video and enlighten yourself again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Ob6TdZHJE&t=224s Here is another one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78n8IZ2nI2A Watch with an open mind and educate yourself!!! @HigherEd @joagbeje @donnie @righteousness2 (even though i feel you are the most unreasonable here), @anas09 @ubenedictus and all the other pastors here. I am mentioning you because you are pastors and when i have this conversations with you, your mind changes and then you go and change the minds of your congregation for the better, because obviously, they have a very terrible mind from what I have been battling here. That they have a very terrible mind means they are not good christians. Good christians do not have terrible minds, only children of the devil do. |

Brushstrokes20: Good to see you do not have anyother point to contribute to the discussion You see, there three people in this thread: those who believe polygamy is bad and will never see things from a different perspective no matter the superior position presented before you; then we have those who think polygamy is good not because they are good people on their own, but because they have warped minds and think it is an avenue for them to treat women the way they feel like. These are the ones who we who see polygamy as an equal and valid marital institution of real social function and benefit, should be careful about. Then we have the third group who are by far the majority of people in the world. These people may not be aware of some facts; but that does not mean they are stupid; they can see, when light is shone before them. These are the people I am more concerned about and I am doing this for, not you nor the second group of people, even though they seem to be on my side. |
