That is because those who read it are largely ignorant.

They are also self-serving. Otherwise they would always consider everything in the Bible in its appropriate context

Lol, it's the always the fault of the readers and not the shitty authors who pack plenty ambiguities in one book

Imagine a country constitution containing this much of a contradictory ambiguity, the country will definitely be swimming in chaos

thesicilian:

We didn't attend the same school, I have my own school that I attended, and you have yours.
So if I say I have my own school I attended, does that mean I was the only one in the school?

If I tell my friends I can stay here, I'm going back to my own house, does that mean I'm the only one who lives in the house? Come to think of it, "my own house" doesn't even mean I own the house, it just implies that I have a legal right to use the house. So 40 people can call a house their own house as long as they're legal occupants of the house.

That's the lexical ambiguity I'm talking about.

Jesus never condemned polygamy, most of those in the bible who seemed to condemn it were the overzealous converts who were not even with jesus and tended to apply their personal beliefs in most of their teachings.

Some of the greatest icons in the Bible were polygamists, such as Abraham, Solomon, David etc

And they're all already in heaven while you are here talking about unimportant things like polygamy instead of focusing on the actual teachings of christ like repentance, forgiveness, love etc
Thank you very much, God bless you and oil your grace the more
I wanted to add but your explanation here says it all.

Corinthian is a letter from paul and not the word of God.

God1000:
His father married 13 wives with 53 children, so this is not surprising coming from him.


1 Corinthians 7 and states that polygamy is unlawful; and that one man is to have but one wife, and to keep to her; and that one woman is to have but one husband, and to keep to him and the wife only has a power over the husband's body, a right to it, and may claim the use of it: this power over

Truth will forever be truth even if nobody wants to hear it, false would be false even if everyone subscribe to.
Naturally, not only man but also the remaining Male Animals are polygamous in nature.
A cock will actively tends to satisfy all the available hens within his domain and this case is hold in almost all the animals.

Why permit something that's not your will? Your will is for your children to grow & prosper, would you as a human permit a killer to kill your children?
princefunm:
The Law that God gave the Israelites stipulated that Kings must have only one wife.

Even though God permitted polygamy, it was never his will. When he made a wife for Adam he made only one.

As a Christian though, the standard is one man one wife.

The Bible clearly stipulates this as a requirement for those who are overseers or leaders.

If the leader of a so-called Christian church is verifiably polygamous, then it simply means that he was unfit to lead.

Its very simple and clear.

It also makes him adulterous by bible standards.

There is no truth to to the claims you make of the book. Rather the volatility and contradictions you pretend stem from the many unscriptural interpretations applied to the messages contained in your Bible by those of the religion of Christianity a religion which at this point in time boasts over 47,000 different interpretations of the one books, interpretations sectioned into denominations, sects within the religion. undecided

There is only one Bible and one Truth; the meaning of every text as stated by the author of the passage concerned. lipsrsealed

What Christianity offers you is a scam platform that basically enables scammers masquerading as sheep to spin their own lies using random verses taken out of context. The religion now offer over 47,000 lies/idols known as interpretations which can be worshipped of the God of Israel and His Son, Jesus Christ. But lies are far away from God and He hates the worship of Idols. undecided

The bible is not contradictory, it is simply that majority of christians have listened, accepted and got themselves Indoctrinated with doctrines that are not consistent with the word of God, so when they are now shown the truth it looked strange to them.

Those David, Abraham, Solomon that married many wives in your bible, did God condemned or punished them? You’re not to marry 2 wives but una get almost 5 to 6 girlfriends. Dey play.

Islam which is the religion of the new testament, the gospel of Apostle Paul to the Gentiles, allows a man to marry 4 wives

Christianity, which is the religion of Rome, does not allow polygamy.

GOD IS INFINITE AND DOESNT ACQUIRE NEW KNOWLEDGE, NEITHER DOES HE CHANGE HIS ORDER OF DOING THINGS. WHEN HE CREATED THE FIRST MAN, HE ONLY MADE ONE WIFE FOR HIM, NOT TWO. AFTER THE FALL IN EDEN HOWEVER, EVERY THING WAS SHATTERED, WITH NOTHING REMAINING IN THE ORIGINAL ORDER IT WAS MADE, WITH MARRIAGE INCLUSIVE. POLYGAMY WAS PERMISSIVELY INTRODUCED JUST LIKE DIVORCE BUT NONE WAS GOD'S PERFECT WILL. WITH THE COMING OF CHRIST, EVERYTHING WAS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL ORDER INCLUDING MARRIAGE AND EVEN DIVORCE, WHICH WAS INTRODUCED BY MOSES OUT OF THE HARDNESS OF THE PEOPLES HEARTS, WAS ABOLISHED. THE ONLY CONDITION PERMITTED BY CHRIST UNDER WHICH A MAN CAN PUT AWAY HIS WIFE, IS FOR FORNICATION, NOT ADULTERY. WHEN JESUS PREACHED THIS IN MATTHEW 19, THE JEWS REPLIED HIM THAT IF THAT BE SO, THAT THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A MAN TO MARRY. THE REASON WAS THAT THEY WERE NOT READY TO FORGIVE THEIR WIVES BECAUSE WHAT CHRIST PREACHED, MEANT THAT FOR ADULTERY, THEY HAD NO BIBLE RIGHT TO DIVORCE THEIR WIVES AND THAT IS TRUE UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. A MAN CAN ONLY DIVORCE HIS WIVE, BASED ON FORNICATION AND WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT IF A WOMAN HAD LIVED A NASTY LIFE BEFORE MARRIAGE AND LATER GOT MARRIED BY DECEIVING HER HUSBAND THAT SHE WAS STILL A VIRGIN, THAT THE MAN SHOULD PUT HER AWAY, AFTER DISCOVERING THAT AFTER THEIR MARRIAGE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE MARRIAGE WAS BASED ON FALSEHOOD AS EVERY MAN IN GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN IS SUPPOSED TO MARRY A VIRGIN. OUTSIDE THIS, FOR ADULTERY, A MAN IS EXPECTED TO FORGIVE HIS WIFE, JUST THE WAY GOD FORGIVES US OUR MANY SINS DAILY. THIS WAS WHY CHRIST PREACHED FORGIVENESS 70 TIMES 7 A DAY BEFORE PREACHING ON MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TEACHINGS IN THE BIBLE AND NOT ALL WILL ACCEPT IT, JUST LIKE THOSE JEWS IN MATTHEW 19. IF ONE DIVORCES HIS WIFE FOR ADULTERY, HE HAS NO BIBLE RIGHT TO REMARRY, HE CAN ONLY STAY SINGLE OR GET RECONCILED WITH HER. EMAIL cfountainoftruth@yahoo.com FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

Show me where the bible says homosexuality if ok. Since the white man wrote the bible it should approve homosexuality.
Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by Hagiazomakai: 3:50pm On Apr 28
I like the intellectual argument you bringing,so I will wade in here.

Going by the law of first mention(Theological vocabulary),in the first marriage,God created One woman for the first ma(spelling out clearly His intention for the institution).

So men out of greed and lust decided to go their way,but that doesn't change the blueprint of God for the sacred marital institution.




thesicilian:

It's the same story bro. The Bible does not condemn polygamy. Polygamy is the teaching of man. If it was that important, Jesus would have taught about it.
A lot of the disciples taught what they thought was right, not what Jesus taught them. At a point (Acts 10) God had to personally come down from heaven and correct Peter about the issue of unclean meat and refusing to preach to the gentiles.

What makes polygamy a sin? That a man pays the bride price of 2 or 3 women according to tradition, before taking her home with the consent of her parents, why should there be any law against that?
Is that not what we were practising before the white man came? Are you saying all our ancestors who practised polygamy will go to hell? But that David, Abraham, Jacob etc will all be in heaven?
What kind of logic is that?

If you're going to convince me that polygamy is a sin, you'll have to show me where it was expressly condemned.

How can a woman be responsible for more than 85% of the success of the home and you dare want to add another wife and make her fund your polygamous life? Yul hit head for ground sha.

Too many unmarried women, a problem polygamy would take care of. Why sidechick when you could have been a second wife with your own family?

It will reduce paternity fraud as well.

It will ensure men get regular sex enough to reduce the risk of prostate cancer( at least 21 times per month)

Etc grin
