Questions:
1. A Christian lady who is the second wife is she legally married before God or is she leaving in Adultery?
2. If a man marries more than a wife and then becomes a born again Christian, is he to divorce the other women?

A second wife is a thief. She has come to steal from another woman therefore she is commiting adultery and the marriage is not legal before God. Moreover, no true christian lady would do that.

Yes he needs to divorce the second wife. But, if she has children already, then the man should see to the welfare of the children.

Our emotions are not like light switches that you can turn on or off at any time you deem right. The laws of the land that have being in existence right from time has made people to believe we are only supposed to have one partner (monogamy). The fact of life is that no matter which woman or man you are with, some people may find the perfect wife, husband, or partner how ever you see it, there will always be someone better, more attractive, more intelligent, smarter, etc, than the person you are with.

The laws available this day have made people think it is wrong to be with multiple people at once. I do believe that the government should not be allowed to dictate how adults live their lives. People know about their feelings more than governments do.

Now going back to the issue of religion (Christianity in this case)

Religions are pretty  much laws teaching people how to live their lives. Allegedly based on some estimates, there are more than 6 billion people in this world, how can the 10 commandments fit perfectly for all six billion people if everyone is a christian?

Knowing that there are people with varying traits, and different lifestyles. so how is it possible to apply 10 or more rules to everyone.

This also goes for education, health care, and many other social services. Of course it will be extremely difficult if not virtually impossible to cater to specific individual needs.



What would you say of a man with 2 or 3 wives and he treats them perfectly and they have perfect life.  On the other hand you have a married pastor or religion leader having mistress or girlfriend outside his marriage however you may call it.

Will all the religious guy's life work be in vain? How long can you suppress emotions before you go crazy?
