the bolded,
What right is that?


1. A right to peace in her home...polygamy breeds jealousy and domestic fights...

2. A right to affection....which will always be shared by other women...

3. A right to safety...as long as a man sleeps with other women... that woman isn’t safe...they risk infection...

4. Make no mistake...Women in polygamous homes are not wives. They are just property..a pleasure & child bearing property..

..no one should made to feel like they are just another sex object among the many the man possess...

Like I said...polygamy is repackaged adultery...

your argument doesn't hold water at all. mind you the Bible has been passed down for several generations and has been edited by man not God,God never wrote the bible,it was done by a mere mortal like you and I.

The original language the Bible was written in was never English,so how can you base your argument on singular and plural in the English language.

If polygamy is a sin the father of faith Abraham,and great men like David would nt av practiced it,by the way,if u want to really be like Jesus dont marry at all,bcs he didnt

True,and remember when Sarah urged Abraham to take on haggai as his concubine,God gave his consent before Abraham proceeded in sleeping with haggai.
if he frowns on polygamy,why didn't he deter Abraham from committing a sin,why encourage him?

ThreeEyedRaven:
I totally agree with him. The Bible only instructs the ministers or church workers to marry only one wife but didn't speak against polygamy

1. Every Christian is supposed to be in the service of God as per the great commission. So we are all workers and Ministers.' If Christians that are not in leadership positions have liberty to violate themselves with multiple wives, soon the old chaste leadership wil die out without replacement.

2. The plan of God is monogamy as shown by Jesus in Matthew 19:3-9 when He said "Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning made them male and female. And for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?"

@OP:
The Bible doesn't talk about smoking cigarettes or pornography either.

Studying God's plan for marriage, monogamy is the ideal situation which balances the 'rights' and 'responsiblities' of both parties.

Would a polygamist go to hell? No idea

Would a man filled with the Spirit of God marry multiple wives? I 100% doubt it.

So Abraham, Jacob, David and others who got more than one plus concubines don't have the spirit of God in them?


God himself gave David wives.

2 Samuel 12:8 (David)
I gave your master's house to you, and your master's wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more.



Genesis 25:6 (Abraham)
But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.



2 Samuel 15:14-16
14 Then David said to all his officials who were with him in Jerusalem, “Come! We must flee, or none of us will escape from Absalom. We must leave immediately, or he will move quickly to overtake us and bring ruin on us and put the city to the sword.”

15 The king’s officials answered him, “Your servants are ready to do whatever our lord the king chooses.”

16 The king set out, with his entire household following him; but he left ten concubines to take care of the palace.

RisenPhoenix1:
Illogical premise. If they admit that scripture is silent on it then how can it be a sin? Who then made it a sin? People external to the scripture? Either it's a sin or it isn't; in this case, since he says that scripture is silent on it, then it isn't.

God permits polygamy with condition

Deut 21:15-17

15 “If a man has two wives and he loves one more than the other and both have borne sons to him and the firstborn son belongs to the unloved one, 16 on the day that he gives his inheritance to his sons, he will not be allowed to treat the son of the loved one as his firstborn at the expense of the son of the unloved one, the firstborn. 17 He should recognize as the firstborn the unloved one’s son by giving him the double portion of everything he has, for that one is the beginning of his procreative power. The right of the firstborn’s position belongs to him.

Different dispensation.

Divorce was 'allowed' in OT, just write a letter of divorce to your wife.

In NT, not allowed.


Divorce is allowed in the new covenant.


Below are the words of Christ.


Matthew 19:8-9
8 Yeshua replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery .”

Whether it is a sin or not, I am really more interested in polygamy than monogamy, homosexuality, and polyandry.

I will just do it, when we reach afterlife, me and my God will have a talk about it over a bottle of fine heavenly whiskey which I will brew personally, in God's winery.

Former Presidential spokesperson and Pastor, Reno Omokri has shared his thoughts about polygamy in Christianity, IgbereTV reports.

According to Reno Omokri, the scripture is silent on polygamy and he doesn't know if it is a sin.

The Pastor who noted that most of the holiest men in the scriptures are polygamists, stated that he won't give a judgment on polygamy where God has not given a command. He concluded by stating that he has respect for polygamists than adulterers.

The former presidential spokesperson wrote on Twitter;

Polygamy is NOT a sin.
King David, THE MAN AFTER GOD'S HEART WAS A POLYGAMIST!
King David is not the standard. If you commit all errors committed by King David, you might not be as lucky as him

The scripture below won't work for polygamy

Gen2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh

God does not change His mind. And He doesnt operate different standards. If its good for David, it is good for any other person.

Your response is all over the place.

You started by asking what's my point then you carried on. The problem is if you did not get my point why writing anything at all after that?

Shouldn't you have asked me to clarify?

Therefore nothing you wrote after can be said to reflect any depth of understanding of the points I raised.

And let me correct another of your misfire.

The captivity I was referring to was not Egypt but Babylon.

The Israelites were not captured to Egypt unlike Babylon.

So open your Bible and see whether you can find Israelites with multiple wives returning from the Captivity in Babylon.

I might have missed a reference and I am open to being corrected.

advanceDNA:


What your point??

So becos i don’t support polygamy... I’m a against God’s view?
.

The Israelites started out in captivity from
Egypt ...

In fact, the egyptaians were afraid of their growing number and decided to kill some of them....but they still came out marrying wives..
Ur assumption is wrong....

captivity did not stop them before when they came from Egypt’.....why assume captivity stopped them later.......the Bible account didn’t cover everything that happened in isreal post-captivity. So don’t assume..

Ur research is flawed...and God never said marry plenty wives in the Bible... so I don’t get why you are trying to paint polygamy as God’s view.

God don’t interfere in all affairs of man....so, Don’t use David and Solomon as standard...they did wrong...according to the law....go read for ur self....part of the law Moses gave them was that a king should not have many wives Deuteronomy 17v17.....

First I ddnt misfire....


The summary of ur last comment was that God supports polygamy and that my personal veiw that’s against it doesn’t matter... and that the isrealites stopped this practice when they were in captivity in Babylon....perhaps because of the Babylonian captors who may not want them to multiply......right??

First I ddnt get why you were bringing this line of thought to counter me... when I already said my views are personal and not religious....that’s why I asked what ur point is...

Secondly I decided to engage u all the same based on the religion side u used to engage me....

I said... ur conclusion that the Babylonian captivity stopped the practice of polygamy is flawed and perhaps a fallacy...why..? I made reference to another captivity the Israelites experienced in Egypt..saying that captivity was more worse becos they ddnt even want them to multiply...so if Moses freed them and they started their new life with the practice, it’s inconclusive to say they stopped it after they got free from Babylon....

(So what difference does it make whether they were dragged to Egypt, or later became captives. The fact is they were not free and they were oppressed and their children killed...there’s no evidence of ur claim in Babylon... but there’s evidence that the Egyptians ddnt want them to multiply... still some came out of Egypt a polygamist)

and I further stressed that the Bible ddnt give much account about the way of life of the people.. because after the Babylonian captivity, we have the prophecies from the prophets..then the 4gospel, then the apostles’ letters.....so u can’t use that to conclude that no one practiced polygamy....since the Bible ddnt go into details

I also pointed to u the law that states Kings shouldn’t have multiple wives..and that David and Solomon shouldn’t be used as a standard for polygamy...but u ignored it like a plague...


But out of all I said.... u only saw a misfire...which wasn’t even a misfire....and U further stressed that I should go and look for who practiced polygamy after the Babylonian captivity...please what point are u trying to make with this ??

Looks to me like u are not looking for a dialogue.

you have no point. First RENO said that "someone asked him" based on his personality as a pastor, he gave the "person a sincere/ candid answer, all you did was to spew trash on him. Secondly, you asked if you must speak bible every time and end speaking the same bible " love your neighbour and do unto others what you would have them do unto you", this shows that you are completely confused. Thirdly, you vilified RENO for being neutral on the issue because he neither support nor condenm polygamy.

Exactly ...Reno is a man that always sits on the table if morality and religion.....to correct u I ddnt tackle Reno becos he was neutral, I tackled Reno because he’s claiming he doesn’t know if having many wives is wrong because the Bible didn’t mention it word for word....

..how could he say he doesn’t know if what tramples on the rights of a woman is wrong just because the Bible ddnt say specifically....

Heck...will he say he doesn’t know if p0rn, cocaine, etc is a wrong becos the Bible ddnt say.?

That’s why I brought my point from the angle of humanity....1st becos reno is human...and also a pastor..he could have answered from either angle...But he pretended to be in the fence...

Secondly u were saying I should give a bible verse or shut up...why should I have to give a bible verse to determine what’s wrong....every isn’t written in the Bible ....??

But if u feel I have not point..well everyone is entitled to their opinion
