Jesus has settled the matter, so everyone is free to choose whether we are in tune with what God arranged for everlasting life or turn against what God's Son said.
Thanks Sir!

Antiochus:
Polygamy wasn't God's plan from the beginning. God gave a wife to Adam not wives it was sin that brought in Polygamy.

Genesis 2:24
[24]Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

They shall become one and not two or three or five so polygamy is against God's plan for man.

So why did God made laws for polygamy?

"If a man have two wives..." Deuteronomy 21:15

The passage of Deuteronomy 21:15-17 is a specific instruction in the Law Itself to any man with "two wives". If polygamy was a sin, then it would not be possible for a "man to have two wives" in the Law.

"If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son, 16when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife. Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him"
Deuteronomy 21:15-17.

Secondly, God said If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.
Exodus 21:10

Yahweh makes laws protecting the First wife & previous wives here.
Note that this verse comes only 22 verses AFTER the 7th Commandment ("Thou shalt not commit adultery" in Exodus 20:14.

Moses wrote all these yet he still married two wives.

And Moses had a high holy Spirit level in Numbers 11:25

Hell is not for human

King James Bible 2 Samuel 12:8 ►

And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

Na God talk am.

Hell is not for human and beside polygamy is not a sin to in the eyes of God

Yes.
Polygamists will go to hell to meet and party Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon, etc.

And who's scared of HELL

AntiChristian:


So why did God made laws for polygamy?

I would have answered this question but you are the type that always spite and debase christianity.

Why are u people obsessed with hell?

Have you been there, ever?

It is always good to understand the Bible.

MaxInDHouse:


Jesus referred all his listeners to the standard God set in the beginning regarding marriage {Matthew 19:4} God's standard in the beginning is ONE Adam= ONE Eve! Genesis 2:24

You people need to understand the above verse deeply as Jesus wasn’t talking about polygamy but divorce.

There is Nothing like HELL or PARADISE as we are taught to believe.
The real hell and paradise is here on earth as we are living. Some people have made our living conditions in Nigeria as well as other parts of the world HELL with pain and suffering and made it PARADISE for them self. For example, for the past 8 years APC has made Nigeria a living HELL for we all and a PARADISE for themselves. The funny thing is that the people experiencing the living HELL APC gave us will still vote in APC or PDP come February for the living HELL conditions to continue. They did it in 2019.
However, I must let you know that the real HELL or PARADISE is in the MIND and whether you are poor or rich you ar living in any one of dem you have chosen. For example we would have never known that despite all the ill gotten wealth and opulence the Ekweremadus displayed they were actually being tormented by their living HELL if not for their arrest in London. Meanwhile, there many contented poor and average income families living happily in their paradise despite the hellish living conditions around dem.
May God help us.

Insightful read

MaxInDHouse:
All dead humans are in Hell now because Hell (Grave) is the end of all sinners {Psalms 9:17} and since all humans have sinned and fallen short of God's glory {Romans 3:23} anyone dead in the past are all in Hell! Ecclesiastes 9:5-10

The one and only human who died was buried and returned from Hell is Jesus of Nazareth, he is now alive and forever will he continue to be alive! Act 2:31

Whoever wants to live forever after resurrection must seize the opportunity to make Jesus his/her role model {John 3:16} that is the one and only human approved from God to teach us how we can gain everlasting life! Matthew 17:5


Though Jesus never got married so what has Jesus got to do with this case as our role model? 1Peter 2:21

Jesus referred all his listeners to the standard God set in the beginning regarding marriage {Matthew 19:4} God's standard in the beginning is ONE Adam= ONE Eve! Genesis 2:24

Elisha and Moses came to Jesus from hell bah...
I don tire for una...

Nobody is in hell..

I would have answered this question but you are the type that always spite and debase christianity.

So stating the truth is debasing now!
Anyways i have edited the comment earlier!

You can change your mind if you wish!

Dtruthspeaker:


Polygamy is sin.

Christ Said "male and female created He them" not make and females or males and female or males and females.

Polygamy is not sin..

Who's teaching you all people these things??

jahsharon:
Nonsense without ingredients.

Abraham had several wives
Moses had many wives
Isaac had many wives
Jacob had many wives
David had many wives
Solomon had many wives

Those are some of the people that the Bible reported that God loved so much. Up till today, we all still pray in the name of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Are the listed people in Hell Fire? I think you are working very hard to end up in Hell Fire

Is there even a Hell fire??

Dust you came and to dust you shall return

The soul that sin shall die

And the book of resurrection, the literal interpretation that's been given ain't it and if you check across churches, you will see a lot have different interpretation of the book...

So who's right? With my own assertion inclusive?

POLYGAMY! POLYGAMY!! POLYGAMY!!!

You will all agree with me that one of the most controversial word in Christiandom today is POLYGAMY

Are you a religious scholar? a Pastor? a Theologian? a born again Christian?.......?

Please, feel free to constructively contribute, castigate, correct, admonishe, advice, preach........in accordance with the provisions of the Holy Bible (the word of God)

Before I go further, I will like you to have the following questions at the back of your minds.

1). Who was the first person to engage in the act of POLYGAMY according to the Bible?

2). Is POLYGAMY a sin in the Bible?

3). Did God in the Bible condemn POLYGAMY?

4). Those that according to the Bible engaged in POLYGAMY, are they in Hell?

5). What is the fate of the polygamous Children according to the Bible?

6). Is marriage a traditional act or religious act?

7). Why do Christians condemn POLYGAMY?

8. What are the effects of POLYGAMY in Christiandom?

9). Has God changed?

GEAR 1
Lamech was the first man to marry more than one wife, Gen 4:19

GEAR 2
Godly/Holy persons that engaged in POLYGAMY according to the Bible included Abdon, Judges 12:13-14; Abijah, 2 Chronicles 13-21; Abraham, Gen 16-1-3, Gen 25:1; Ahab, 1 kings 20:1-3;
Ahaseurus, Esther 1:9,
Ashur, 1 Chronicles 4:5,
Belshazzar, Daniel 5:2,
Ben-Hadad (who married Ahab's wives), Caleb, 1 Chronicles 2:18-19, David (had 8wives), 1 Samuel 18:27, 25:39, 25:42, 2 Samuel 3:5, 5:13, 12:7-8, 12:24.
Eliphaz, Gen 36:11-12.
Elkanah, 1 Samuel 1:1-2
Esau, Gen 26:34
Ezra, 4:17-18;
Gideon, Judges 8:30....and many more.

We had not fewer than 40 Godly and ungodly men that engaged in POLYGAMY from the Bible. Also, we had not less than 43 POLYGAMY cases from the Bible.

GEAR 3
Had God condemned POLYGAMY?
No! God NEVER did In all the POLYGAMY cases mentioned in the Bible, God did not condemn any axcept David who snatched Uriah's wife. God said to David ' in 2 Samuel 12:8; I gave your master's house to you, and your master's wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more." Why did God himself say so to David?

GEAR 4
Is POLYGAMY a sin?
Those that engage in POLYGAMY are they in hell?
Is Abraham in hell? (Luke 16:19-31)
Is Jacob in hell?
Is David, Solomon, Elkanah, Ezra.....@all, in hell?

GEAR 5
Does God permit POLYGAMY? The answer of course is Yes! In Genesis 21:10, God said If he (man) marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. In 2 Samuel 12:8. God Himself said to David ,"...I gave you your master Wives,. if you need more, I would have given you"

GEAR 6
What is the fate of the polygamous children? Condemned or
Favoured?
Why was Joseph, Samuel, Solomon.... Highly favoured?

GEAR 7
Before religion there was marriage.
Gen 1:26-28, Gen 2:18-25

The issue of Monogamy was purely the tradition of the western world whom were our religious colonial masters. In the land of the White, traditionally, rivalry is a taboo. But the Jews (Israelites) and the Edomites (the blacks) shares the same tradition. A widow is not allowed to be seen in the Street, but be remarried to their husbands relatives or friends, Gen 38.

GEAR 8
Why do Christians and the west now condemn the act of POLYGAMY?
The new testament may completely be the reason as it has responded almost seamlessly on POLYGAMY matters. The new testament talks about every aspect of Christian living except POLYGAMY. Mathew 19:3-9, Jesus spoke about God initial plan for man. He actually condemned divorce but did not mention POLYGAMY. Paul admonishment to Timothy on the act and how to elect Church leadership, just like the case of levites of old (Moses...), 1 Timothy 3. The point of contention here is, If there were no men with more than a wife in the Church, Paul Won't have mentioned it. Also in 1 Corinthians 7:39.

GEAR 9
Effects of POLYGAMY:
POLYGAMY has it merits and demerits in the society and Christiandom at large.

1). In the Society, the imMortality rate is high in the female folks compared to men. The number of girls birth rate is higher than that of men, and the number of men dead rate is higher than that of women. The number of widows keep increasing geometry adding up to the number of single women in the society.
This leads to increase of infidelity, adultery, fornication in the society compared to the days of our forefathers. So pathetic nowadays to see young single girls fighting with widows and women old to be their mum for the ownerships of a guy.

2). MONOGAMY has caused reduction in the population in the Christiandom. God says in Gen 1:28 'God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground'. But what do we have today? Christians going into family planning. The Israelites lived 430yrs only in Egypt, but Pharaoh became scared because of their rapid growth in population. I can't imagine that would happen if they were practicing Family planning Monogamy

3). There's increase in population of the youth. Very soon Our children, particularly daughters (that we are trying to protect today) will be used as sex slaves because monogamy would have denied them an opportunity to marry.
C.) There are millions of stranded women in the South and, may not likely get an husband forever because of argument against polygamy; whereas hardly can a women be stranded in the North; thanks to polygamy..

GEAR 10
Has God Changed?
God of Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, .....the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the beginning and the end, the Alfa and Omega, He is the same yesterday, today and for ever; has not changed.

CONCLUSION
What is the way out?
Christians don't be "Paul when he was Saul'

Pastors, be careful what you preach on the pulpit about POLYGAMY as what you preach, instead of becoming light, rather, it is destroying Christianity

Hosea 4:6, 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.

"Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

May the lord add blessing to this teaching... AMEN

I wil save this page for reference purposes


Men if u re capable both financially and emotionally, pls marry second wife, marry Ur side chick instead of commiting firnicattion with her

No. I don't think so.

Nothing do polygamy if you have the means

Scarcity234:

Is there even a Hell fire??

Dust you came and to dust you shall return

The soul that sin shall die

And the book of resurrection, the literal interpretation that's been given ain't it and if you check across churches, you will see a lot have different interpretation of the book...

So who's right? With my own assertion inclusive?

There is no direct injunction in the bible that states that polygamy is a sin.

Monogamy is recommended.
Polygamy is permitted, but a man must live with its consequences.

[quote author=losak9111 post=120021657][/quote]

Hell mean grave, tomb place of rest

Mumusaphire:
Ask our Muslim brotherhood oooooo

Your Muslim brothers are just upholding the ways of the prophets. The God that allowed polygamy for Abraham, Moses, David, n Solomon is the one that does for your Muslim brothers.

Look at Muslim countries practising polygamy as instructed in your Bible (i.e. providing for your wives and children), they don't have bastards roaming their streets, children in juvenile detentions etc. Everyone has the opportunity to have a loving and protective father. Women, Men and children are all happy,

Please don't look at the ways of some misinformed Muslims in the north. You only do polygamy if you can adequately provide for your family.

Why Should You Pray for your Enemies?

This is the Key to Complete Freedom of Christians from Satanic Attacks. Utterly shocked when Pure SPIRIT of MESSIAH revealed that Christian Battles would never be over until we start Fasting and Prayer for the Deliverance and Salvation of the Souls of our Enemies. By the Time you use Prayers to Disgrace the Demonic Principality and Deliver 1, 2, 3 Humans that they were using to Attack You, Satan would Order his Demons to leave you alone before you Rescue all the Witches and Wizards he has Deceived and using against Humanity.

As someone that has used Dry Fasting and Prayers to Kill popular terribly-feared Witchdoctor before, I know the Joy(and even Pride) that a Christian feels when we Supremely Conquer our Physical Enemy. But deciding to forever be at that Vengeful Level of Christianity is a foolish Decision to Perpetually Limit what our CREATOR can and would Massively do with a Christian that Obeys the Word of MESSIAH which says Pray(means Fast and Pray actually) for your Enemies.

Believers that Fasts and Pray that I AM THAT I AM should Bind and Cast into Bottomless Pit the Demon Spirit/Principality that deceived their Enemies into becoming Evil (and then also Pray that Blood of MESSIAH should flush out their Sins and Redeem them by Salvation Power of MESSIAH) are the Wisest and the Highest Ranking in Heaven.

MESSIAH said we should Pray for them because the fact that they attacked us gives us Legal Ground to Invite Heavenly Army to Arrest the DemonSpirit using them, and to become Instrument of their Deliverance from Kingdom of Darkness into Eternal Life Kingdom of Marvelous Light.

Scripture clearly shows us that Human beings are not our Real Enemies at all, they are only being used (in effort to Capture us) by Demons that have Deceived and Captured them. Our Enemies Seriously Need our Help!

The ending End Time has become too short that Heaven is Focused on massively Empowering and Blessing Intersessors, Especially Intersessors that are following the Words and Steps of MESSIAH into to. Many Pastors or Churches say kill your Enemies with Prayers and they will even quote Scripture to back it up. It is not their fault at all, it is their Level of Light.

Why is you and I a Christian? Why are we Christians? Yes, to live the Exemplary Way that our MESSIAH lived His Life on Earth. You and I need to become very Sincere today so that we can be truly Relevant in Eternity.

Unlike The Complete Way of Eternal Life that MESSIAH used His Life on Earth to Exemplify for us to Follow, Christianity was massively watered down and reduced to welfare meal ticket. It is time to Fulfill our Glorious Destiny of Turning the World upside down by showing Satan and his Demons that Humanity around us must be Delivered from his Strangle-hold.

Let us Pray: Our Eternal Heavenly FATHER The Everlasting OWNER of Heaven and Earth, Help us to Grow to the Full Stature of Your Son our MESSIAH in JESUS' Pure Name!!!!!!!

Right now, there's no body in hell including Satan.

Before you drag that Satan is in hell, read Job 1:6-7, Revelation 20:10-15 and 1 Kings 22:20-23 (lying spirit there is Satan who has been part of the heavenly court meeting).


Christ went to the grave not hell, that was why some saints who died came back alive, they weren't in hell rather hade (grave).


Grave is hade not hell. You can simply say underworld.

He made them male and female doesn't contradict or disprove polygamy.

Hope you know, it's not all kings that ruled over Israelites were godly person oo.

Eg. Ahewarusi, Ahab

Meanwhile, polygamy is never a sin, most especially people who are not priests, and you must play ur role in godly way in ur marriage.

Well written article...
I dey wonder am seriously is polygamy really a sin?

However, this thing has always been a guide to such ambiguous thoughts... Anything done outside faith and love is a sin...

So if marrying another wife deprives your first wife of love and attention. Negatively affects your children spiritually, mentally and physically, it becomes a sin...

So the safest option is to stick to one wife

God told the Israelites that another prophet will be sent to teach them what they must do to gain everlasting life! Deuteronomy 18:18-19

Why then do the Christian refer to Jesus as God? They started from the "3 God in One" as in holy trinity, as if that wasn't enough, they moved to "Jesus is Lord" which is still popular today. Then they moved to the height of blasphemy by referring to Jesus as God. Jesus is just another messenger of God Almighty just like others before and after him sent to liberate the Israelites but you lots have elevated him to the status of God. How illogical can that be? According to you guys, God was crucifixes, he bled and he even cried on the cross? Damn.

MaxInDHouse:


Those people all lived by conscience and some by the laws given to the Israelites but God told the Israelites that another prophet will be sent to teach them what they must do to gain everlasting life! Deuteronomy 18:18-19

Now before Jesus most of these people died so they will be resurrected as RIGHTEOUS men because they were anticipating the coming of Christ who will teach them how to gain eternal life. So after their resurrection they will be taught what the Christ (whom they've longed to see throughout their lifetime) taught while they're dead. That's what 1,000 years reign of Christ means, they will all learn how to apply what Jesus taught when Satan and his agents are no longer around to mislead anyone! Revelations 20:1-3

After resurrected their former marriages has been dissolved by death so they will all become youths again {Job 33:25} then they can start afresh to marry one wife just as Jesus said we should revert to the standard God set in the beginning:
ONE Adam=ONE Eve!
