Shirley07: that was meant to be conceive, mumu! honestly, you do a big disservice to women when you reason like a slug. women willingly seek polygamy these days due to their age, infertility, house chores, etc. so how is polygamy anti-women? 3 Likes |

@lastpage: Good day If God wanted polygamy, He would have created Adam and Eve. Adam saw Eve and said.. 'the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh'.... The fact tha David, Jacob etc. married multiple wives and God still loved them does not mean He approved of what they did. These people were not Christians and are not the role model of Christians. David killed, Abraham lied, Jacod cheated etc. should we say that those stuffs are not sins? If we say they were punished, what was the punishment for Abraham's lie? Issac did same years later and there was 'seemingly' no punishment too Samson slept with a w.h.ore before uprooting the gates of Gaza through the strenght of God even though he met his doom later. What punishment did we see for Samson sleeping with her? He was warned as a narazene not to marry a non-Israelite but he did and what was the punishment? Divorce was very common in the old testament even though it was not the will of God and He said so in the new testament. God still uses some pastors even with their shortcomings. We have the case of Karthlyn Kulhman a powerful evangelist in the 70s. She married a divorcee (who left his wife because of her) and stayed with him for about 7yrs while she was still preaching and miracles happening till she repented and left him. There is a perfect will of God known to Christians when they have the Holy Spirit. The Bible doesnot mention Indecency.graphy, pedophil.e or smoking but every believer knows that it is wrong. 2 Likes |

bukatyne: My dear, no where is it mentioned in the bible that it is forbidden. hence, you cant overrule it. its as simple as saying since Jesus the son of mary didnt marry, hence marrying is a sin! pls dont bring out doctrines that is not in the bible. If you dislike something, simply say you dislike it!.Thanks Jesus said "in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men" Matthew 15:9 1 Like |

bukatyne: No I am neither, just a respecter of differences and a student of sensitivity even when I differ. I am not an ambassador of polygamy, I am of the strong opinion that it is not the worst thing that could happen to a woman in a marriage, and for that reason, I have to open my eyes to see what good could come out of it. It is an attitude thing. Some can choose to see the worst that could come out of it, but to each his own. Now, are you married, single or planning to be either? 4 Likes |

thandii1: Tell me what a good polygamous house looks like? A woman being satisfied when her husband is sleeping with another woman? The first wife runs the risk of losing the house/assets she built with her husband if she dies to another wife The second wife runs the risk of being treated as lesser being to another woman in her husband's house. If you say that we see polygamy around because women like it...... one then can argue that we see prostitution because women like it...... You forget that men too are a part of polygamy..... 1 Like |

lastpage: Lol! Women in Nigeria will happily divorce with the right financial settlement. If I quit my career to be a primary Home-giver (a role which saves money for the family) and 10 yrs down the line, hubby decides to get a 2nd wife, I'll leave, once he settles me financially for the fact that I was deprived of working for 10 years and building my own financial independence. Settle me, settle something on any children we may have, I'll leave peaceably. Most selfish men, however, want a 2nd wife, will tell 1st wife to leave with nothing (after years of sacrifice) and will complain of being "afraid of women attacking him". Hilarious. 3 Likes |

bukatyne: @lastpage: Thank you Maam, for your post! Let me ask the reverse of that question since God did not expressly say HE HATES POLYGAMY: IF God hates Polygamy, why would he call a POLYGAMIST, "The Apple of my eye"... regarding David? If God hates Polygamy, why would he refer to a Polygamist like Abraham, the father of all nations? Why would he speak "One-on-One" with a Polygamist like Moses? If God hates Polygamy, why would he say of a Polygamist like Solomon, "All these things, l would give thee like l will give no other, wisdom, wealth, health and long life"? My point is: We cannot conclude that God does not sanction polygamy is HE did not criticise it but the fact that HE loved and blessed Polygamist, says something about HIS TOLERANCE/APPROVAL of them, ...at the minimum! Who then are we mere mortals, to think we are more righteous than our creator? Yes, God punished some of this great men of God, for "other things" they did that was wrong. For example, David cheated with the wife of another man (that is not Polygamy, it is adultery!) and arraigned the murder of the husband! That was core evil, in the eyes of God. That was why he was punished, not because of his Polygamist lifestyle. bukatyne: Samson slept with a w.h.ore before uprooting the gates of Gaza through the strenght of God even though he met his doom later. What punishment did we see for Samson sleeping with her? He was warned as a narazene not to marry a non-Israelite but he did and what was the punishment? The new testament is actually a fulfilment of the Old, as Jesus said -- "I have not come to abolish the Old testament ... but to fulfil it". Yes, some things were "modified" in the NEW but the overriding principle of the new testament still remains "Do unto others as you will want them to do unto you" --- In other words, "Love thy neighbour as thy self". There are loads of things that are not "expressly mentioned" in the Bible as well, that are of good use to us today - Even Jesus (as of the new testament) never spread the Good News using Private Jets but today, hardly will you see a "Man of God" without a Jet! We all read our Bibles on Tablets in Church nowadays but even Jesus had no Tablet! Can we now say doing so is a sin? There is a "Moral code" ... and there is a "spiritual code" for all Christians. Both do not conflict but we must agree that the "moral code" was put in place by humans (e.g, incest was practised widely in Biblical times, brothers married sisters )- but morally, we have come to "agree and make laws" to STOP IT ..... spiritually, it was never a sin! Homosexuality which is now becoming "morally" acceptable, was condemned back then! It was and still remains a spiritual sin till tomorrow! Ditto polygamy; It is NOT a spiritual sin (something ordered by God) .. but as l highlighted before, The British and the wider "Western World" have adopted it as a "moral wrong-doing"... for reasons adduced earlier viz property sharing and attendant greed.... but l disagree that we say because God created only Eve, he wanted the man to marry just one wife! Thing is, God (can) only create a FIRST, of every living thing and expects that "PROCREATION ABILITY" (which HE gave them), will multiply them. Even animals were created that way... how come Bingo my Dog they flex for all the neighbourhood bitches and im never do no wrong! Cheers, Lastpage! 1 Like |

ayinba1: stop replying that troll. he cannot see beyond the religion factor so his logic is highly-spruced. i am 100% christian & fully support polygamy. there's nowhere in the bible it was ever condemned. the only thing spoken about it was bishops/deacons being a husband of one wife & that means they are the only ones exempted from having more than a wife.....which is even debatable cos paul was just giving his opinion. so how's polygamy strictly an islamic thing like illogical boy is asserting? 2 Likes |
