But when it comes to tithes we revert back to Judaism?

Jesus never condemned tithes. Man established polygamy and God wouldn't allow the false doctrine to continue. That was one of the reason Jesus came to correct things. If you read properly what lead to Jesus condemning polygamy, it was the same Jews that were asking after the same issue. He simply replied them it was because of the hardness of their heart that moses filed a letter of divorce for couples but from the beginning it was not so.

Matthew 19:7 "They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so."

Me I Don talk my own. You people should hid the warning now before it is too late.

You're just a lying preacher. You never made mention of your reference being from King James version of the bible. Kindly check your initial post. And even if it were KJV, do all other translation not carry the same meaning as the verse I quote to you earlier? Just tell us you want to argue blindly so we can give room for fools to contend with you

I don't know what's your problem.

It doesn't change the fact you have comprehension problem.

Jesus talked about divorcing wife you change it to he said you must marry one wife.

You're a liar and and impostor who don't understand what he reads.

Go on with ignorance you're not the first .

It doesn't change the fact that polygamy is not adultery and Jesus never said it was.

You just love blind arguments oga. The scripture is super clear on this matter, and I will quote the words of Jesus for you to read so you can end your online foolishness :

This passage from Mark 10 is at the heart of all Christian teaching on marriage and divorce:

1He left that place and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan. And crowds again gathered around him; and, as was his custom, he again taught them. 2 Some Pharisees came, and to test him they asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" 3 He answered them, "What did Moses command you?" 4 They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her." 5 But Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you. 6 But from the beginning of creation, "God made them male and female.' 7 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." 10 Then in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; 12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

Points to note :

1. Jesus said the two shall become one flesh (v7-. Not three or more.


2. Once a man is married to one wife, he cannot marry another because that overrules point one and goes against Jesus command in verses 11&12.


Conclusion : You can choose to continue your blind argument but only a fool will engage you in it. Since it is obvious that Jesus has told us what he thinks about marrying more than one wife.

When you marry more than one wife or husband, its polygamy and that is what Jesus described as adultery. Yes it is sin!

Matthew 19
New Living Translation
Discussion about Divorce and Marriage
19 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went down to the region of Judea east of the Jordan River. 2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed their sick.

3 Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

4 “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’[a]” 5 And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’[b] 6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together"

God joined one man and one woman as husband and wife.
NOT one man two wives, or one woman four husbands. Etc

Lol... Bros you are free to marry as many as you want oh, but be mindful that the number of wives you have is directly proportional to the amount of waya you will experience

There are some things I don't take the dictates from anyone or anything


I will be a polygamist than being a serial adulterer

Polygamist are never satisfied!!!

Yes, I think you are right, because it takes an addiction to women to become a polygamist

Sure! In my own page of reasoning, having more than one wife means you have ordained your habit of womanizing.. There's good probability of having more wives or womanizing!

The word polygamy was not used in the bible. But more than one wife is polygamy in the our modern term.

As per the question the Jews ere asking jesus was based in divorce. And if the divorce comes in between couples, of course they are bound to marry another wife or husband or even keep messing with side chicks.

Mark 10:2 "And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 10:3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 10:4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 10:5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female."

A smoker, who claimed to be a chtistian once told me that there is nothing wrong with smoking. I told him it's a sin and it would lead him hell if he doesn't repent and forsake it. He is reply was that smoking was not in the bible, so nothing was wrong with it. No matter how one preaches the truth, human beings live evil and they will always find excuse to fall back or incline unto it.

Very correct, greed makes peoole to marry more than one wife. God created one mouth, two eyes, two legs, but one woman.
The evil of polygamy shows that it wasn't God's original plan.
Imaging a world without Hagar and Ishmael.

The only thing that make a married man or woman to be remarried is only the death of his or her partner. At that point, he or she is free to remarry. Beczuse only death can seperate or break that law of marriage from any couple. But if they are still alive, even if they are divorce, they have no right to marry according to the Bible. "he that has an ear, let him here what the spirit of God is speaking to the churches".

1 Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

You keep beating about the bush on this.

Where it concerns marriage, Jesus Christ gave them two laws

1) Honor your marriage agreement in obedience to God

2) Divorce is only allowed by God in the case of fornication

A third law He Law which has to do with sexual matters is

3) When you lust in your heart, you do so in disobedience to God.

Other than that, He declared that your marriages are of this world and not of His Kingdom. So, try to attempt an answer based on the Truth of God instead.

Yes! Polygamy is a sin, Mr. Obeying Gods word in the bible is not by force. We have seen pastors, deacons in the church with more than one wife and they still preach on the pulpit. But at the end of their lives, they would pay for their sins.

By then, the word of God in the bible that says,

Matthew 7:20-21 KJV
"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. [21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Would be fulfilled in their upon their souls. Heaven is for few people and a place prepared for the prepared people. Heaven is not by chance. I am done!

Again, you have yet to state, in God's own words, that polygamy is indeed a sin. All you have done so far is make attempts at adding to God's Law by preaching your own ideas(doctrines) and traditions as if they are of God. Remember God is against those who do such even in His Kingdom.

Actually, according to Jesus Christ, the one who turned the descriptions upside down, it is indeed as so.

Matthew 19 vs 9(KJV)

---

9. “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.”

He repeats the same message elsewhere in the same Matthew

Matthew 5 vs 32(KJV)

---

32. ““But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.”

Now, you know and you can update others on the new definitions of those words as given you by Jesus Christ.

I don't understand what you are saying? Is polygamy sin or not? It is clearly written. Marriage is between a man and a woman and not for any third party. So, polygamy is a sin. I rest my case

Matthew 19:4-6 KJV
"And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, [5] And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? [6] Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

So, you're suggesting that the same man cannot by that same law cleave to another woman and become one with that other woman as well?

Christians are known by their agreement of what goes says in the bible. "by their fruits ye shall know them".

I am afraid you are mistaken... Jesus Christ never said that the fruits He referred to their has anything to do with the book you call your Bible today. That book did not eve exist until about 400 year ago.

The fruits He spoke of instead has to do with the Word of God which He, Jesus Christ, told you is "...every Word out of God's mouth", not to be mistaken with every word written in the book you call your Bible. The fruits of the followers of Jesus Christ is seen through the righteousness of God that is expressed in their very existence... just as it was in the person of Jesus Christ.

I don't disagree with Jesus Christ. What is contention here remains your interpretation of what Jesus Christ said.

For the fact that you kept bringing the divorce question of the Pharisees, you've proved nothing.
They ask can a man divorce his wife for any reasons?

You expect Jesus to yes or what?
Even me myself would not say yes.
He told them they should not divorce their wife simple.
If the Pharisees had asked should a man divorce his wives for any reason.
Jesus would actually say no to divorcing of wives because they've become one also.

Don't go beyond context. Point to me where the question asked refer to polygamy and stop using divorce question to answer polygamy question.
Common sense is not rocket science
