solbil:


it is not the exception. I remember telling you that many polygamous homes i know are like mine.

Also, you should take a survey before you know what is majority and what is not. You can also come to the other thread i invited enshy to so that we could have a better debate upon it.

All the issues you hear exists in polygamy, exists in monogamy too in equal or even far greater measure.

Oh no..not happening. I'm not gonna debate this subject. Why have a debate? Problems exist in monogamous relationships...but the fact remains that polygamy is not God's will....and never was. People make choices based on whatever reason.
Get as many wives as you want (if you're a "sir".
I couldn't do it and won't...but to each his own.

Let all sincere xtians be bold to preach it so that our ignorant brothers/sisters will no more be led astray!
Polygamy isnt Gods Will, run away from it, it will leave a bitter taste!
However, if you are already in it, repent and turn to God, restitute and stick only to the 'wife of your youth, let her breast satisfy you'...Let the strange women leave, if they had children for you, provide them accommodation and take responsibilities for all your children.
God blesses the repentant heart!
All single ladies, dont be caught in the web! Polygamy is unpopular and God detests it!

Girls of today marry 28+ definitely not youth. Guys are subconsciously attracted to youth and fertility. To keep the biblical injunction women must therefore marry younger..

Women are The Potter's Clay Vessels and like Righteousness, you can have many but never offer them unto any unrighteousness.

God detests Polygamy...Let all in the sin repent now for the consequences are grave on earth and heaven.
Read Matt 19:8-9..
God commanded Abraham to send away all his concubines and spent the rest of his life with Sarah. After Sarah's death, Abraham had no wife so he remarried..Still, the enmity between the two most populous religion was by Abrahams polygamy.
Isaac married just one wife seeing the evil in his fathers decisions.
Jacob got a second wife out of deceit..After Gods encounter of changing his name, the second wife died, all the concubines were sent away and Jacob lived with Leah ever after.
God had commanded kings not to have multiple wives, Saul in his first disobedience got several wives but God later rejected him..
David was severely punished as all his wives were publicly raped, he later kept his concubines in a place as they lived in widowhood forever as David never slept with them again. He later spent time with his first wife and lost all sex appetites.
Solomon lost Gods relationship thru idolatry by his multiple wives...
You see no seer, judge, prophet, apostle marries more than one wife.
Paul at a place said church leaders to be appointed must not be in polygamy.
All accounts of Polygamy in scriptures ended in bitterness.
In Pauls voice 'if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such customs, neither the church of God'

Well. I guess this polygamy ban is only for the Bolden. So based on your write up, ordinary christians are free to have more than wife
