I told you to forget about whatever any pastor has said.. You have the opportunity to teach the Bible here.Show us...I'm not interested in opinions.
You quoted Genesis 2:24 that has nothing to do with polygamy and now you're talking about pastors and mogs.

Teach us that Bible

Kobojunkie:
The reason you lot mostly fail to comprehend what is written in human language to you is you glorify the opinions of men.( your pastors and mogs),which Jesus Christ warned you were lied, above God's Truth as is presented.

God declares to us that which is sin in His Law to us - sin is not arbitrarily defined and it is not based on the whims and opinions of men.

God never said He was against men or women entering multiple marriage agreements. He Himself is recorded to have give multiple partners to some of His servants. And we know God never lies nor changes His mind.

I asked a question so we can keep tab on what's been discussed.

Are we done with Polygamy? If yes let me know so we talk about sin

Kobojunkie:
Saying God never allowed polygamy(polyandry and polygyny) is akin to declaring it sin against God.

Genesis 2 vs 24 is God's Law as far as marriage between a man and a woman is concerned. That law does not negate man and woman entering into multiple marriage agreements same way it does not mandate marriage on every man and woman.

Saying God never allowed polygamy(polyandry and polygyny) is akin to declaring it sin against God.

Do you understand what sin is?

I said commanded not allowed... They are different. So don't introduce what I never said.

The question is show everyone where God commanded Polygamy.

I told you to stop assuming. What that verse said is A MAN and A WOMAN... Where are you getting the permission for multiple marriage there?

God never commanded polygamy somehow means polygamy is against God? Is that what you are insinuating?.

I don't have issues with people talking whatever they think about Polygamy but if you want to talk Bible come with scriptures NOT what you think.
Atleast Cubana Chief Priest aired his opinion and never mentioned Bible, some people said it's an African thing, some believe it's what's best for them etc

But it's annoying to see people who don't understand the Bible coming to discuss Bible.

Im not insinuating anything. What I'm asking is show us in the Bible where God commanded it.
If you can't find it say it and learn

As I have already explained severally, God gives commands where sin is possibly the case. Since polygamy is not a sin where God is concerned, why do you God to give a command?

Here is the meaning of assumption

a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.

What do you take me for? Someone who doesn't know what he's saying..

Kobojunkie:

Ok.... so what assumption do you accuse me of making in my comment to you?

So every sin has a commandment expressly attached to it?

Kobojunkie:

Many...no biblical proofs to your opinions..yet you claim you are speaking scriptures

I asked you plainly, what assumptions did I make in my comment to you below...

Duh!

Sin is direct disobedience of God's commandment to us, in His Law. So where God has given no commandment, it is not sin against God. That is why I kept saying sin is not arbitrarily defined or assumed. It is based on God's Law to us.

Did you understand the question?
Are you saying we have as many sins as the number of commandments?

Kobojunkie:
Duh!

Pretty much!

The Old Covenant Law of Moses has about 613 definitions for sin whereas God's New Covenant has only about 100. You don't just wake up to define your own standard as far as sin is concerned. God did that specifically in His Law.

And in His Law is commandment that decrees it sin for any man to add, remove or change any of God's commandments on sin..

Meaning?
If there are 2000 sins, there are about 2000 commandments?

Kobojunkie:
Pretty much!

derecho:
Meaning?

That is what telling you that "sin is not arbitrarily defined" means. It is all as given by God Himself right there in His Law to you.

Answer the question... Are you saying if there are 3 commandments, there are only 3 sins?

Kobojunkie:

Oga you are wasting too much time to answer basic questions. What are u afraid of?

Sleep dey catch me already

I already answered your question at this point.

No You didn't... It a very basic question.

2000commandments= 2000sins?
3commandments=3sins?

Yes or No

You need to engage your brain in this abeg!

When Jesus Christ declared Sexual lust in one's heart, after a woman, sin in Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28, for instance, how many sins do you think that amounts to?

Kikikiki
One who knows what he's saying won't hesitate to answer.

To help you, understanding the law is key. All the laws are summarized into one.
So reason, how many sins can result from breaking one commandment?

Sin is defined as direct disobedience of God's commandment.

I just told you but you failed to see it.
Breaking one law, can result in multitudes of sins...uncountable.

Kobojunkie:

You can't understand what sin is, until the Holy Spirit teach you.

I deliberately ask those basic questions to show you that all those dictionary definition of sin, law etc are too basic.
And you need understanding.

Or you thought I learnt this from books or Church?

There are things you can NEVER KNOW no matter what you read.
Spiritual things are spiritually discerned and God's Word is Spirit and life.

derecho:

Ok. I will bite again... How does breaking Jesus Christ's one law on adultery in Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28 result in this multitudes of sins you claim?

Where in scripture did God or Jesus Christ in form you that when you commit one sin, you commit this multitudes/uncountable sins you seek of?
