BigBashiru: You saw them, One at the beginning and the second time it was repeated by The Same Lawgiver on marriage "Have ye not read, that He which made them AT THE BEGINNING Made them male and female...? Mathew 19:4 |
Re: Did The Bible Really Outlaw Polygamy? by BigBashiru: 5:23pm On Jul 14, 2021 |
Dtruthspeaker: making them male and female does not mean monogamy.... anyway you are a lost hopeless cause stuck in your ways so i give up on u. |

BigBashiru: After He Said "Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female? He went on to Pronounce The Law on Marriage, Saying 5 "And said, For this cause shall a man (One Man) leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wifeOne wife, not wives) and they twain (the 2, not 3 or 4 or many) shall be one flesh? BigBashiru: As Joshua said, as for me and my soul, I will rather Obey The Lord and The Law, so insult me, I will rather be a son of Obedience, than be a son of Cain, Children of evil and disobedience, as you are! |

Dtruthspeaker: you are the person that modified that verse to suit ur evil purpose.... the verse u quote mentions a man shall leave and go to the wife and be one, but it doesn't say a man can't be joined to more than one wife.... and why hasn't God punished all the people who have been having boyfriends/girlfriends... having boyfriends and girlfriends is a form of polygamy |
Re: Did The Bible Really Outlaw Polygamy? by Dtruthspeaker: 10:34pm On Jul 14, 2021 |
BigBashiru: That is The Law of Marriage, One in Genesis, Repeated Again in Mathew. But as I said earlier, you can exercise your right to Disobey God, as Lamech, Son of Cain did, I will never follow you. BigBashiru: Change of post! We are talking about marriage and further marriages within marriage and not about betrothals and multiple betrothals. |

BigBashiru:1. You claim Solomon had 700 wives and was still a man of God at that, are you sure of this claim you make? Two reasons.... A. in Deuteronomy 17, God specified laws that must be kept the Kings of Israel, of which Solomon clearly broke, right since 700 is way too many for any one man to satisfy in even a month. The king must not get more and more horses for himself. And he must not send people to Egypt to get more horses, because the Lord has told you, ‘You must never go back that way.’ 17 Also, the king must not have too many wives, because that will make him turn away from the Lord. And he must not make himself rich with silver and gold. - Deuteronomy 17 vs 16 - 17 B. in 1 Kings 11, the story goes that Solomon was led astray into the worship of idols by his many women. |

Kobojunkie: the v17 you quoted was "too many".... 3-5 wives isn't too many so polygamy is allowed. Nigerians are such hypocrites. all of u defending monogamy still cheat on ur wives mentally or emotionally just that Ataga was a scapegoat but most guys are guilty of ataga ordeal. hypocrites. |

BigBashiru:Again, pay attention.... 1. You claim Solomon had 700 wives and was still a man of God at that, are you sure of this claim you make? Two reasons.... A. in Deuteronomy 17, God specified laws that must be kept the Kings of Israel, of which Solomon clearly broke, right since 700 is way too many for any one man to satisfy in even a month.

BigBashiru: exactly what a Cainson must say when he is told that he is a Disobedient. |

Kobojunkie: you don't know wat you are talking about. fukkin African hypocrites. |
Re: Did The Bible Really Outlaw Polygamy? by Kobojunkie: 11:04pm On Jul 14, 2021 |
BigBashiru:It seems you opened this thread so you can only read opinions that agree with yours so I will leave you to your so called Bible study. |
Re: Did The Bible Really Outlaw Polygamy? by BigBashiru: 11:07pm On Jul 14, 2021 |
Kobojunkie: the verses you quoted do not outlaw polygamy.... you are trying to impose those ideas on innocent bible verses. you need to entertain the idea for s second that everything uve been thought about marriage is wrong. to be clear, all is vanity including many wives.... but it's an idea men need to be comfortable with.. .. there's nothing wrong with having many wives that you love in Christ.... so long as you not a player. |

kovic7:God also didn't give you laws regarding the driving of cars, or use of computers or the getting of an education either yet I don't see you volunteering to add those to your list of missing rules in the bible. God's Law is not meant to restrict you. Instead it is meant to educate you on what is sin and against God, translation, if God has not declared it sin, it is not sin. The problem here, young man, is not with what is written, or not written, in the Bible but with your refusal to use the brain that God you in gaining even the most basic of understandings of God's Word and Law to you. Way too many of you are too scared to step out and use the understanding that God has already given you in figuring out what He has been saying all this while. Instead you stoop to blaming the book and even God when nothing changes. |
