Janosky: 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 |

Lagoon0:I am afraid it is not that simple either. Jesus Christ did not state a lly of things..... I mean He only gave us about 50-something commandments but from even those He said a lot. For example, consider the issue of sexual sins. There are those out there who believe that so long as they do not act on their sexual fantasies/lust, no sin has been committed. Some of those who belong in this group are all too ready to lampoon others who they label fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, all according to old covenant ideas. However, what many do not realize is that Jesus Christ declared that instead of the old laws that define sexual sins, His Law decrees instead that Lust, that desire that burns in one's heart long before the act is committed , is instead what is sin and what the sinner will be judged for. Jesus Christ, by this, pointed out that sin, disobedience, is committed not when one acts out one's intention, but instead when that intention is first birthed in one's heart. I don't know if you get what I am trying to say which is that, it is not that Jesus Christ must specifically state that polygamy is a sin for it to be known as such. Rather we are also to judge the intention behind the act - if born of disobedience then it is sin, regardless of the act itself. |

trevorhorace:I know what Paul wrote in His letter to Timothy but Paul is not God and last I checked, God said that He alone is Shepherd over His own sheep. This He declared in Ezekiel 34, and again in John 10. |

Point to me where the question asked refer to polygamy and stop using divorce question to answer polygamy question. We all knew it was meant to be a man and a woman from the beginning , that does not make divorce question answer polygamy biblical stand. All verses are just divorce questions. If you don't have any on polygamy stop expanding your knowledge , thats not what the teaching of Christ say. Marry one wife is good and advisable, marrying two is not sin but divorce is adultery. These things are not hard to understand but you choose to add your own context . Common sense is not rocket science |

Kobojunkiee:You have a valid argument that worth considering from this angle. You know the bible says what a thinks so his he. That is why the lust from the heart is already a sin. You have a valid point different from what others has been posting tho. |

peteregwu: The question the Pharisees asked what very clear: Matt 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? What remotely indicates polygamy in that question? Your "smoker" analogy goes up in smoke here when you realise many righteous men in the old testament (including David, a man after God's heart) were polygamous, and God for once never complained about their polygamy (except if I'm missing something). I as a person don't like polygamy, but I don't read my "righteousness" into the Bible like you guys love doing. 1 Like |

Lagoon0: You are not also a Christian. Why do you guys keep troubling yourself. Even the devil was an angel of God before whikenin heaven and he got tired of the rules and regulations in heaven, he rebelled and was sent out of heaven into the earth. Its not by force to believe in what Jesus or the Bible says. If you want to marry 20 or divorce your wife and marry another, no one is holding you. After all we have other religions that is lawful for them to marry 4 wives. Go ahead and join them. Haba! No be force to believe the bible or Jesus. Na waoo... Waiting Peter no go see for nairaland. |

peteregwu:Jesus Christ never instructed you to trust in and obey the book you call the Bible, but instead He instructed that you trust in and obey His teachings, the very Gospel of the Kingdom of God. The good thing is Jesus Christ is the good Shepherd and He alone knows those who belong to Him. That said, can we get back to the topic at hand then? Where were we? Oh, yes, we were trying to figure out of God in fact recommended only one man to one woman or one woman to one man ... Kobojunkiee:Given that Jesus Christ declared that your marriages are of this world and not of His Kingdom, we need also rid ourselves of all abominable notions of holiness of marriage, lies popularly peddled by false teachers and false prophets out there. |

Op... Jehovah God does not approve of polygamy but he permitted it for a while during the days of the Israelites. The standard God set in Eden with the first marriage was that of monogamy. Jesus Christ later reaffirmed that standard for his followers.—(Genesis 2:18-24; Matthew 19:4-6.). God tolerated it for a limited time, while strictly regulating it to prevent abuses. (Exodus 21:10, 11; Deuteronomy 21:15-17) When Jehovah chose to end the practice of polygamy among his worshippers, he used his own Son to reaffirm the marital standard set in Eden. Jesus thus forbade polygamy among his followers. (Mark 10:8 ) Then, this truth became even clearer: The Law of Moses was fine in its time, but “the law of the Christ” is even better.—Galatians 6:2. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lagoon0: Bros, remove your preconceived ideas and study your Bible with open heart and mind. Matthew 19:4-6.. verse by verse analysis. 4 “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’ * Jesus says "God created male & female". God did not create one man many females. Bros, Shey you understand? 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.’ ** Jesus says a man is joined to his wife. NOT his wives. Bros, Shey you understand? 6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together" Bros, in verse 6, how many man and woman did God joined together? Jesus christ did NOT command polygamy. Matthew 28:20, "teaching them to OBEY ALL THE THINGS I commanded you". 1 Corinthians 7:2 the same teaching of one man one wife. One man one wife. NOT polygamy. Shalom. 1 Like 1 Share |

So when Prophet Nathan was sent by God to rebuke David, did God condemn polygamy there hmmm? 2 Samuel 12 v 7-8; 7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 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. Was God encouraging David to commit adultery? since some people’s understanding is faulty enough to conclude polygamy is also adultery. David was condemned for going after another man’s wife (Bathsheba the wife of Uriah) and not for marrying multiple wives! God even promised him more if they were not enough.... Instead of going after another man’s wife I also wonder if the children of Bilhah and Zilpah (Jacob’s concubines) were illegitimate children and fruits of adultery in the sight of God. Why do we have 12 tribes of Israel? Instead of just Rachel and Leah’s children making up the tribes Make una study scriptures and research properly ooo. Cc: Lagoon0 |

OkCornel:I agree... God condemns adultery but not polygamy, it seems, and this from examples of men like Abraham, Jacob, among others - Not a single instance I have found of God condemning polygamy but one need not look hard to find numerous instances of God condemning adultery though. And like I said, it is also possible, by the same token, that God is also not against women marrying more than one husband either. 1 Like |

Lagoon0:I am not talking of feminism, nor am I discussing Bible times. I am simply stating what one ought also to accept even as one threads these paths. Polygamy, be it the marriage of one woman to many men is as valid as the marriage of one man and many men, by the same token. And those who stand in support of the idea ought to support both cases for it would a sin to deny others that which you claim for your own self. 1 Like |
