Wiseandtrue:

Him lie He's only stating the obvious! While few stick to a wife, many marry more that one wife!

Their religious background is not the same! She needs to know what she's getting into!

Back in those days, there's back ground check-up on families you intend to marry into even people from the same place!

This is to let you know what you are getting into! To know if you can cope!

Should the pastor tell her to go ahead without enlightenment Then tomorrow when the husband eventually marries another wife, the woman runs back to the pastor! Then the problem becomes that of the pastor!

Some even end up killing their spouse out of jealousy

But if she decides to go ahead knowing these facts, then if the husband eventually marries another wife, they won't have problems and there will be peace!

These days we have seen a man marry 2 women at once! And they are all at home with it cause they know what they are going into! There was no deceit!

So the pastor has done the right thing!

I still repeat, its only you that knows your intention concerning this thread. A northern Moslem don't allow their daughters to marry a Christian man. But yet they love the Christian girl. Daily people keeping posting unnecessary topics here just to achieve their propaganda against Igbos and Christians. My only worries is that a lot of southerners/Christians think they are dealing with people with logic. A situation when a group of people will never condemn the atrocities of killer herdsmen/bandits up north but will rather shift their focus on Igbos and Christianity, tells you the kind of species of humans we have in Africa. Nairaland is full of mischief.

you’re wise sir... the Op is a moslem. I doubt he’s a southerner. His narrative is biased and malicious... discerning minds knows he created this thread to stir up how Christians are non tolerant blah blah blah

richmond500:
wetin bring Igbo enter this matter? u should stop calling urself Christian, u don't know the meaning?
Christianity is one of the most difficult lifestyle and not everyone could live it, u don't imitate the Muslims and still call urself a Christian

Igbo has to be brought to this matter definitely because they have a high percentage of Christian faithfuls.

Maybe your idea of a good Christian is to sit like duckling while those with animalistic characters kill them and will not be able to fight back because they are good Christians? I pity southerners who think they are dealing with people with logic.

You guys let the the bad eggs from the north to cause unnecessary problems in the country and keep quiet. While encouraging the Christians to act like mumu as to be a good Christian. Funny world.

Na their way, why are they running away from Afghanistan to an infidel country? if you follow most threads on nairaland and observe the list of names being called out concerning their mischievous views about the happenings in this country, you will definitely see that moniker. There is a religion in this country that permit lies and deceit in one's quest to achieve domination and propagation of their religion. Most guys from the south don't know the kind of people they are dealing with.

I am a Yoruba Muslim married to a Christian. I have only one wife. My wife and kids go to Church, while I go to the Mosque. I went to Catholic schools. I believe Islam is just a denomination of Christianity, just as we have Celestial, Cherubim, Deeper Life, Catholic, e.t.c. I had an 'A' in CRK in junior WAEC. So, you cannot tell me that you know about Christianity more than I do.
I have not seen and difference between Islam and Christianity because there is no difference between the content of Quran and the content of the Bible. I only see difference between you Christians and we Muslims because we interpreted the books to suit our selfish interest.

If you say the Quran told Muslims to kill unbelievers, I will tell you that was duplicated from the Bible because several passages of the Bible said that even if it is your blood brother that ask you to worship another god, you should the first to put him to death.

But, Christians do not go about killing people today like boko haran and Fulani herdsmen. Christians did their killings several decades ago.

About Muslims marrying many wives. Let me just remind you that Obasanjo is a Christian with many wives and Fashola, Tinubu, Buhari, Aregbesola are Muslims with just one wife.

Meanwhile, we Muslims are not begging you Christians to marry us, there is no scarcity of women in Islam.

Bros I no dey like to play political correctionness. The truth is bitter and southerners should wise up and don't be deceived by people who want them to be oppressed. Generally, Nigerians are loud definitely and most things pushing Nigerians to other countries is because the wicked leaders have sworn to keep looting and ensuring the citizens to always rely on peanuts from the system. While their wicked hailers never call them to order because of tribal/religious connections and go about accusing the kind hearted Christians of not accommodating other faithfuls. Sorry, I don't do cruise catching that most people do here just for the fun, paid post and other mischievous purposes. It's only you that know what you aim to achieve with this post.

richmond500:
u have to set boundaries and warn families not to overstep and destroy ur marriage, they are not the ones in the marriage therefore they can't just establish useless authority in some of my affairs

cheruv:

I've been taking note of your posts and it seems that you're the type of person that lives in utopia
Which one is warn family members not to overstep and all that bla bla bla As if you dont live here in Africa?
Even if you don't allow yours, your wife would allow hers, even doing it surreptitiously if she knows you'd bring down heaven if you find it out.
Try and be realistic bro

richmond500:
u have changed the topic, my concern is not about oppression or politics, but the church shouldn't welcome discrimination of any sort.

While growing up in a Christian home, I was taught that everyone has his/her values, believe, fashion and fancies, I may not agree with it but I never condemn it and never see the difference between me and Muslims, I just despise religion extremists but I never condemn religion

richmond500:
guy calm down, u were thought wrong, preference has nothing to do with discrimination

Bible says we must marry only believers

thebosstrevor1:


Preference is a form of discrimination.

thebosstrevor1:


Which passage?

If bible says so that means the bible is protecting believers because someone from another religion can corrupt the other and turn them away from their religion

richmond500:
Corinthians 7:13
If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

richmond500:
why can't I marry from other religion? If we are compatible then I have no issue, I no deh carry religion for head o.
I'll install the societal norms in my children, when they come of age, they will choose the religion they prefer, I no even trust any religion to installed any moral value inside my pikin so I'll do the job

Inteltower:


Pls close ur mouth

When you choose (preference) chocolate instead of ice cream today and choose ice cream instead of chocolate the next day is that discrimination.

I made a preference of a clothe to wear today to go to church does that hint to u discrimination of other clothes I have ?

I have a preference of the kind of lady I want to marry does that hint to u discrimination

Pls reason well and stop talking trash

Free Will means doing something with results in forgoing the other.

What shall it profit u if you have all things

As man u can't have everything so u make choices which is preferences

When to do this, why I to do this, etc

So again I ask u how is preference a form of discrimination ?

U aren't intelligent.

U can could have said that discrimination is one out of many factors that influences one preference

Love influences preference

God prefers those who does his will to enter his kingdom does that means he discriminates



Answer

joyandfaith:

I cor 7:39
39A wife is bound as long as her husband is alive. But if her husband should fall asleep in death, she is free to be married to whomever she wants, only in the Lord.
2 cor 6:14-16.
Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? 15 Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Beʹli·al? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement does God’s temple have with idols? For we are a temple of a living God; just as God said: “I will reside among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people

thebosstrevor1:


That means the bible discriminates against believers and non believers.

Do not marry believers but their is also a bible passage that also talk about what you should do when you marry unbelievers, it says you should not divorce
