I came up with this question because of rampant cases of raping among pastors.i think polygamy system of marriage wil help to minimize this ugly act among pastors if it is considered by Christians

Tank God I came first..I dedicate dz to my lovely babe. Funmilola....lol


In Matt. 19:4 we are told by Jesus that God
created one “male and [one] female” and joined
them in marriage. Mark 10:6-8:"But from the
beginning of the creation, God 'made them male
and female.' 'For this reason a man shall leave his
father and mother and be joined to his wife, 'and
the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are
no longer two, but one flesh.
The two as one is the pattern on how marriage
was to be conducted from the start. NOT three or
four as one.

. I didn't even say Jesus. And my own belief is that u shud marry as much as u could cater for without being bias...but going by the scripture the best is to marry one wife God only took a bone from Adam's rib nd make ONE wife for him with it. He didn't make too.

. That means u are just being greedy, so does that mean u are marrying 5wives. How can u just concluded by saying one woman can't satisfy one man, everybody is not as greedy as u bro' speak for urself alone. I love my wife and nobody I mean nobody is gonna come as 2nd best to her...

Jesus talks about divorce. That under the law of Moses (The Old Covenant) man was allowed to divorce his wife due to the hardness of mens hearts. This was not Gods initial intention though it was permissible under the law of Moses but then Jesus abolished Divorce because it was unjust.

It is also Gods intention that man should be with 1 wife as per Matt 19 just as it was in the beginning.

Jesus being the sacrifice for the New Covenant was given power to; and has set certain terms and abolished certain things which were permissible under the Old Covenant.

There is a list of things that has been abolished from the Old to New Covenant.

Abraham married one wife, Sarah. When she died, he remarried a woman called Keturah and had 4 children with her.

Abraham never married 2 wives at a time.

And, Abraham never married Hagar. She was only used as a Surrogate. Sarah presented her to her husband to carry her husbands seed. She had no right where to the child or the man who got her pregnant.

Abraham never desired and went for her.

Wait, these people you mentioned, non of them was a prophet.

Pls tell us how many wife Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, Daniel, Ezekiel, Zachariah, Obadiah, Zephaniah and Malachi married then we can talk.
