There is no reason for you to divorce your wife. King David who was loved by God married different wife's. Solomon, Jacob and other men in the bible married different wife's. As far as you're able to take cars of them, enjoy your life jare! l those people talking old testament and new testament. The old testament is not part of the bible Shebi? How many marriages did the new testament tell you about. Did it talk about the marriages of the disciples or Apostles? 1 Like |

Having two wives will not stop you inheriting the kingdom of God. All you need to do is try and love them equally and be a good father. |

divorce is also no good in the eyes of the lord,, so keep them both and care for your kids |

realmindz:how many men in the new testament married more dan a wife? All the names given where in the old testament some even married more dan one wife after the commandments have been given but they atone for their sins by making sacrifices in which jesus was sent in the new testament to abolish such acts, so any man marrying more than a wife in this modern times, he would have to be prayerful because it is a grievous sin.

Pls I need to be clarified and educated: -So to marry more than one wife is already a certificate for one not to make heaven? -What about moslems,traditionalists,Obas,Igwes,and even some men that I read in this country that married more tha 30 wives? -So they are already a candidates of hell or are there different types of heaven?since there is one God. Pls let people educate others in this.Thank you. |

evansjeff:Dearie, don't ever be deceived by what contemporary men on suit teach in churches. Mind you, God himself said He hates divorce. Since you've married these your lovely wives as an unbeliever enjoy them all - letting nothing come in between the love you have for God. The only issue there as pointed out in the bible is that you should not go for any leadership position in the church 1Tim 3:2. This is clearly the scriptural stand on it. It beats my imagination the ease with which many men advice men in this condition to throw away their wives or remain with them without any sexual contact. It is so wicked and ungodly, devoid of God's love and compassion. Dearie once more provided you've given your life to Christ, don't allow these men that take salvation to be a function of human works and deeds to mislead you and steal the joy and peace you have in Christ. Remain with them and enjoy Christ please. Thanks. 2 Likes |

evansjeff:Many of our mentors in the bible married more than one wife. David, Abraham, etc. We all want the blessings of Abraham but we don't want his lifestyle. We always read psalms written by David which are efficacious and potent in solving life-threatening problems , for those who believe in psalms but we often ignore to study about his lifestyle. God even called him a man after His heart. Nobody in world history had ever pleased God in praise and worship like David did. Can we say David whom God called a man after His heart won't enter heaven because of his polygamous status? NO! Can we separate the book of the old testament from the new testament because some of the believers in the old testaments were polygamous? NO! Bro, I'd only advise you involve God in your decision so you don't end up making mistakes. 1 Like |

First! All of you telling him to stick with d two women that they men of God who married more than 1 wife, advisin him that he's gonna make heaven with two wives, just have in mind that if dis man dies today, without repentin, his sins and blood is gonna be on all of u head. I din say that d bible said it. U see a blind man about falling into a bit and u let him, his blood is gonna be on ur head. Even d bible said, unto a man is a woman and unto a woman is a man, he never said unto a man is women. Read ur new testament pls, befored giving d wrong advice about d bible to sum1. What reason do u have to marry 2wives? Nd whatever reason it is, It has to be 1 woman, 1 man. That is what d bible said. U have to let d second wife go, be friends with her and her kids. And pls, all of u quotin d old testament. Go and study ur bible and understand, don't just read for reading sake. Enjoy ur day 1 Like |

BlessedHay:Dearie, are you trying to tell us that the death of Jesus for the sins we committed as unbelievers is a waste. Any issue that you still allow your human understanding to advise on shall in NO way bring forth the will of God. See believe you me, his sins have been COMPLETELY forgiven, hence for him to remain with his legally married wives, trust and love God all the days of his life. |
Re: Legally Married To Two Wives Before Knowing God, What Should I Do? by Nobody: 11:14am On Oct 23, 2016 |
BlessedHay:So, can you tear off your bible the entire old testament because some God-fearing people who were even closer to God than the present day generation married more than one wife? It's rare to find men or women of God who are as faithful as Abraham in the present day generation, despite their being a monogamist. Despite all Abraham went through, he was still strong in his faith. will Abraham enter hell because he married one than one wife...? Has he committed a sin either? Our pastors preach from both old and new testament and without the old testament, there cannot be a new one. God created the heaven and the earth in the old testament. Judge not bro, so you're not judged. Many men of God died a virgin, so were some women...will they not make heaven because they remained single as a result of their faith? Let God alone to decide who's a sinner in this matter. That's all I'd say. 1 Like |

evansjeff:this is exactly what happened with the chief of my village, he had 3 wives. when he was to accept Christ, the church (COCIN) advised prayerfully that he wedded the first wife in a Christian way, she was his wife being the first among the three. the other 2 women were no longer his wives. but because they had children for him, though they were free to go, he choose to continue to take care of their financial and material needs. and he lived a happy life till he died. I will advise you to talk to your pastor, the church surely has solution to such and all problems. |

oglalasioux:Once the in laws agree to give their daughter and your family accept her. You pay the customary bride price. It is called marriage and it is recognized by both families and society. And to annul such marriage in Igbo traditions the wife family will return the pot containing the bride price. Registry is a western culture and is secondary. People with second wifes must have done that to claim marriage and it is marriage as far as I'm concerned 1 Like |
