Kobojunkiee:Your argument is baseless from the beginning of times in the bible till date , a king or man can have wives and concubine , ladies with multiple sex partner are seen as prostitute by the bible. Are you trying to say God has been bias towards women? |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 7:13am On Apr 21, 2021 |
Lagoon0:And herein lies the problem. You are willing to believe God is not against a man marrying more than one wife, you are unwilling to believe that the very same God also allows for a woman to marry more than 1 husband, suddenly placing the views of men above God's Word. Even in bible times, male prostitution was not unheard of, so I am not certain if you are suddenly trying to feign ignorance so as to hide your close-mindedness there. By the way, a king with concubines is an adulterer by God's standards. So do not try to let thy one skate by here. Also, God is not biased against women that is the very reason He would allow even women marry for themselves more than one husband by the same token that He would let a man marry more than one wife. |

Kobojunkiee: @bolded what chapter of the king James version did God prove this your standard |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 8:04am On Apr 21, 2021 |
Lagoon0:King James version? God's Laws and their declarations have nothing to do with your Bible versions. God is God of Laws where His Laws serve at the standard as far as what is acceptable and what is not. There are about 7 Covenants/Laws spoken of in the Bible -we have the details of the 2 major Laws for to help up live the standard God has set for His own. The Old Covenant Law of is defined in the Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy combined, whereas the New Covenant Law thatis Jesus Christ is found written of in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Both Laws exist separate from each other and are presented to different peoples but they are God's Laws nonetheless, and in them, you find that which is sin declared and defined. In the Old Covenant, we know it is listed that adultery is listed as sin, meaning any sexual relationship outside of a marriage is sin. In the New Covenant, we learn instead that lust, the covering of that which is not yours to have or desire is recorded as sin even before any sexual act is committed. Jesus Christ also declares that adultery is instead divorcing a spouse for any reason other than fornication. So, look beyond your Bible translations and to God's Law where sin which is disobedience, is concerned. |

Kobojunkiee:Instead of long philosophy , show me the bible verse where @ your bolded was stated by God standard in the bible. Your philosophy is driven by devoted emotions Kobojunkiee: Lagoon0: |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 9:01am On Apr 21, 2021 |
Lagoon0:Emotions? None of that here... I am strictlyfor adhering to standards as set by God Himself for us "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh. on a woman to lust after her hath committed. adultery with her already in his heart"(New Covenant Standard) "But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving. for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery:"(New Covenant Standard) 1 Like |

Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Lagoon0: 11:56am On Apr 21, 2021 |
Kobojunkiee:Youve not listed the verse the bible regard king and concubine as adultery , you're recycling criptures based on the teaching against divorce. Don't take us backward. Is that how you read your bible and understand? |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 2:39pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Lagoon0:LOL... I am afraid you are under some kind of delusion there. There are no separate rules for kings or nobilities where sin is concerned. It is the same Law that applies to all men. Recall, where sin is concerned, God is an impartial God seeing all men as equals. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by peteregwu(m): 2:43pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Guys are so scared now. They get themselves wives, bowing fully well, they are in adultery already, now looking for a way to console themselves by contradicting the bible that where in the bible is written that polygamy is sin. Keep your adultery and ride on your wives. But on the day Uig you drop dead, your eyes would be clear, then you will realise that it was the same God stopped a whole moses that he loves from entering the land of canaan because of sin of anger and disobedience to his word. U think God is like your politicians? I rest! John 12:48 KJV He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Jman24(m): 4:46pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
peteregwu: You guys are just like philosophers in the good book. The question is this; where in the Bible was it mentioned that marrying more than one wife is sin. We have seen in the good book where things like lust, adultery, lies, etc are categorized as sin expressly for you to see |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Jman24(m): 4:52pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Janosky: English is still a problem in Africa. Well 'no be our mother tongue' The question is "can a man divorce his wife...?" The question wasn't "can a man marry more than one wife?" There is nothing to suggest polygamy is a sin from the question and corresponding answer He made them "male and female" gives more credence to opposite sex relationship than the polygamy idea you are trying to demonize |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by peteregwu(m): 4:59pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Janosky: Thanks! They won't agree with you because some of them are into it already and trying to console themselves. The same thing one of my brother that smokes told me one day that Jesus never said smoking is sin because it was not written in the bible. I no dey talk again. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 5:21pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Jman24:That it does! |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Lagoon0: 6:02pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Kobojunkiee:Why are you complicating English. David was punish for adultery not polygamy. Where has the polygamy lifestyle of David a man after Gods heart been recorded in the bible? Please don't bring teaching of divorce to tho matter we're talking about polygamy and you're going into biblical philosophy. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 6:45pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Lagoon0:What teaching of divorce did I bring in here? You asked where God made laws that imply He is against the having of concubines and I showed you where in His New Covenant Law He, God, makes that more than clear to all. 1 Like |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by perezeghi: 7:00pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Lagoon0: Read this and derive the answer...... This is NKJV Mal.2.15 - But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth. Mal.2.16 - "For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one's garment with violence," Says the LORD of hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously." Mal.2.17 - You have wearied the LORD with your words; Yet you say, "In what way have we wearied Him?" In that you say, "Everyone who does evil Is good in the sight of the LORD, And He delights in them," Or, "Where is the God of justice?" You can also read other translations like MSB, NLT and LB. |

Kobojunkiee:Lolz what happened to old covenant Laws ? |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 9:08pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Lagoon0:the Old Covenant was made by God between God and those who have the blood of Jacob flowing in their veins as Law for living well in the borders of the land of Canaan. You are a Nigerian born of gentiles and as such were never included in that Covenant by God Himself. Plus you do not live in the land of Canaan. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by perezeghi: 9:27pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Kobojunkiee: How you interpret the Scripture seems...... Abraham's Seed is Christ Jesus as it was foretold. Christ Jesus is from the house of King David. Christ Jesus did not come to abolish any law but to bring to fulfilment that which was prophesied. And most importantly to bring to the knowledge of man, how they ought to have fellowship with the Father. In Christ Jesus there is neither Jew nor Gentile. We are all one in Christ. So if there is any commandments/laws that is binding on man to keep then it's for all creation of God to observe. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Lagoon0: 9:36pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Kobojunkiee:No be gentiles born me o! Some Egyptians and other tribe joined the Israelite back then na without having Jacobs bloodline If you read your old testament wella you'll see many non Jacob descendant that were observing the laws of moses and abiding to the teaching of the prophets. Like I said earlier your philosophy is going too emotional. Christ fulfilment of the law was not to change the law. Salvation of the soul is one important thing. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 9:42pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
perezeghi:I don't "interpret" the scriptures. I instead apply basic language comprehension skills when reading it. The Old Covenant Law of Moses is an eternal law that God made with those who are of the Blood of Jacob for Law in the Kingdom of Canaan. God made this severally clear in the book of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy where the law is clearly defined for all those who will open their eyes to learn it in detail. In Deuteronomy 30, Moses ratifies it by swearing before Heaven and earth, affirming yet again, what has been previously stated that said Law is indeed between God and those who have the blood of Jacob flowing their their veins. The New Covenant Law , Jesus Christ is a different eternal Covenant which God makes with individual man of all nations(irrespective of race or ancestry) for Law in the Kingdom of God. The details of the New Covenant are found expressed in the Gospels(Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and this Covenant was ratified on the cross when Jesus Christ announced "It is finished" and the died. His resurrection was for to bless all Nations just as God had declared He would do through Abraham. Jesus Christ's fulfillment of the Old Covenant Law was for a purpose different from that which you assume since Jesus Christ never came to condemn those who rightly followed the Old Covenant way .I.e. those who were made righteous by the following of the Old Covenant. No, Jesus Christ did not come to call the Righteous but only the sinners to God. And yes, there were righteous men in the land even when Jesus Christ was in it. He instead went out to find the sinners for they were the lost sheep of israel He was sent to. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 9:47pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
Lagoon0:I don't know who lies to you but you as a Nigerian are more than 99.9999% gentile born, regardless of your old testament assumptions on the migration of the Jews of old.
Stating my philosophy is based on an emotional argument of sorts, without even once pointing out how only reveals you the one seeking to cun your way out of dealing with the information before you. What is it that I have stated that is not according to the Bible? I never said anything about Jesus Christ "changing" any law so what are you now rambling about? How can you have salvation when you don't even realize what it is you are being saved from and the how? |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by perezeghi: 6:22am On Apr 22, 2021 |
Kobojunkiee: You really need to re-read the Scripture and probably change your basic comprehension skills. Let me use some of your words........ The old covenant (law)is not rooted in Jacob's blood as you claim but rooted in the blood of circumcision. It is a prerequisite.Try go study what happened to Moses before he did circumcision. Likewise the new covenant is rooted in the blood of Christ Jesus. That was why He ought to die and was/is resurrected. Covenants are symbols of bonds. Laws are principles/statues/commands that are expected to put us in checks. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 7:17am On Apr 22, 2021 |
perezeghi:I think you will really benefit a great deal from applying basic human language comprehension skills when reading the Bible as well as any text written by human hands and in human language cause I see from your response that you didn't quite comprehend the content of my previous comment. perezeghi:Unfortunately, it does not appear that you used any of my own words here. perezeghi:I don't understand the logic behind your claim that Circumcision is a "root" of the covenant, nor do I understand what you mean when you suggest the blood of Jesus Christ as the "root" of the New Covenant, so I am afraid I can't speak to that. What I do know is that as the rainbow is the seal/sign of the Noahic Covenant, so is circumcision the seal of the first covenant that God made with Abraham, and eventually with those with the blood of Jacob running through their veins. And this where the "seal" of a covenant/agreement is the differentiating sign or mark expressing a binding to the respective Covenant. The seal of the New Covenant agreement/contract is not the blood of Jesus Christ alone but the Blood, Water, and Spirit of Truth living inside of those who have Salvation in Jesus Christ. perezeghi:As the passage above also clearly informs you, a Covenant is a contract/agreement/Law between two parties warranting that each party sticks to the terms and conditions stipulated as a way of honoring the other party. The Old Covenant Law of Moses for example consists not just of Laws/Statutes/rules, but also blessings, curses, rituals, and promises which pertain only to those to which is it binding to - those who are of the Blood of Jacob .i.e. Descendants of Abraham & Isaac & Jacob, as is made clear in the passage above. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Kobojunkiee: 7:41am On Apr 22, 2021 |
perezeghi:As for the above statement, I felt it necessary to make it clear to you why Jesus Christ had to die - counter that popular narrative that many of you have been fed by your many pastors and preachers out there who read you the same scripts they have themselves heard without ever thinking to verify any of it for themselves. According to the Old Covenant Law/agreement between God and His people, Israel, the only way to fulfill the Old Covenant requirement was to attain righteousness and then die afterward, a righteous man. Well, Jesus Christ fulfilled the requirements of the Old Covenant Law - He died a righteous sinless man- so that all those of the blood of Jacob, who were still sinners and would leave the Old Covenant for the New Covenant would be imparted with His Righteousness and His Death, bringing to an end the hold of the Old Covenant on them(without penalty), and at the same time maintaining their place in the promise of the Old Covenant while they seek out a new life in the New Covenant. Jesus Christ's death was what I call inevitable and necessary for good reason. First, almost every prophet before Him was murdered. John the Baptist, the last of them and all He did was preach repentance to a sinful woman to get his head lobbed off. So Jesus Christ came ready to die at the hands of the same thugs. I mean He came in the name of God preaching a departure from the Old Covenant - some would say He was begging to be killed. Second, in order for His mission to the lost sheep of Israel(Jewish sinners) to be made complete, He had to die. The fulfillment of the Old Covenant made that necessary in order that through His death, the lost of Sheep of Israel(Jewish sinners) gained victory over the Old Covenant as they are ushered into a New Covenant with God. So, for the sake of the Lost Sheep(Jewish sinners), Jesus Christ needed to die. Third, for His New Covenant to apply to those of other nations -the gentiles who were born dead to the Law by God's design - He had to rise from the dead. This so that through His resurrection, He imparts the Life that He is to those previously condemned to death(dust to dust). So, for the sake of the Nations, Jesus Christ had to die - He came knowing this and prepared to die. The fourth reason why Jesus Christ had to die was so that He could then live inside of His followers. They become His body and force by which His work to continue from generation to generation, all of them of course, driven by Him through submission and obedience to the New Covenant of God through Jesus Christ. His blood - the blood of the Covenant - was shed for the forgiveness of the sins of those who belong in His New Covenant. Pretty much since it was to be shed anyway, why not. After all, He was a sinless man ...God's own avatar, the Law, and the King Himself in the Kingdom of God so His blood was perfect for the job. So, in a sense, He died for the sinners, those of the blood of Jacob - He came to call the sinners and not the righteous among them. Though they come to Him, the New Covenant, as Old Covenant sinners, through the impartation of His own Righteousness and His own Death upon them, they are made righteous where the old Covenant is concerned and dead to it but give His Life in the New Covenant. So it has nothing to do with blood sacrifices or human ones as you imagine on altars and whatnot. His sacrifice is of a different kind entirely. |

True Christians follow Jesus. We don't follow any other person but Jesus alone and his doctrines. If you are referring to David, Solomon or those that were polygamous in their time jus t because they are men of God, it means you are not yet Christian but a religious person and you won't make heaven beczuse they are not the the standard of God to make heaven. Jesus is the way, truth and live. He is the one that gave us the new commandment and new doctrine and if you don't give heed to it, how can u enter heaven. 2 John 1:8-9 KJV "Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. [9] Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son." Jesus stated his own doctrine which has been from the beginning before men defiled it and jesus coming into the world was to restore it according to his own willand not the will of man but of God. That is why jesus mandated it that for one to make heave, one has to be born again. If you don't believe in this new doctrine, then forget about heaven. |

Jman24:Events occurred in Africa? These are at least 40,000 other delusions, all claimed to originate from the same Bible. Yours is no much different or more special than those of others. |

peteregwu: Thank you. 1. Show us where Jesus said it is a sin to marry two wives. 2. Did God not promise David more wives in 2 Samuel 12 v 7-8? Yes or no. |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by Jman24(m): 4:19pm On Apr 22, 2021 |
Kobojunkiee: You call them delusions. You may not be far from the truth. But the good book points to the fact that those fairy tales (if you like) were of Africa. That's the point. You can hardly twist this narrative I challenge you to prove from your Bible that Israel was in a barren land of the so called middle East of today |
Re: Where In The Bible was it Recorded As Sin To Marry Two Wives by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:42pm On Apr 22, 2021 |
The Bible is not a book of laws as most religionists think, the laws given to the nation of Israel became obsolete when the Messiah (Christ) arrived. Jesus of Nazareth who claims to be the Messiah didn't teach his followers laws as Moses did in his time. God's word revealed that mankind lost Paradise when the first human couple were driven out of Eden. Jesus' counseling will help all those who adhere to it live forever in Paradise. God promised that in Paradise inhabitants will not have any cause for complaint {Isaiah 11:9} the experience of God's servants who lived with more than one woman shows that it's not good for Adam to live peacefully with two Eves. So if you want to live forever in Paradise the standard God set in the beginning for marriage is ONE Adam and ONE Eve, anyone who failed to live by this standard can't inherit Paradise! Lagoon0: |
