[quote author=ondo_boi]don't get it all twisted brother, you wanted a christian to provide you with a bible verse that encourages polygamy but yet you went ahead to pick the wrong text by yourself, Deutronomy was written by Moses long before christianity came into existence.. Brother the truth is THERE ARE MANY BIBLE VERSES THAT ENCOURAGED IT in the old testament but not NEVER IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. See my definition of christianity in my previous post, and hence, JESUS preached against polygamy[/quote]Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 that he didn't come to destroy the law or the prophets,but to fulfill it.So the OT is still much valid
To prove my point in the NT,the Sadducees questioned Jesus in matthew 22:23-33 about who in the day of resurrection,will be the husband of a woman who married 7 brothers one at a time according to Moses law which says "If a man dies,having no children,his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother".
Jesus replied saying there's no marriage in the resurrection.
My point is,if one of the brother has a wife of his own and then takes his brother's wife,isn't that polygamy? Jesus obviously had no problem with this or he would have said something about it.
where in the NT is polygamy forbidden?

[quote author=ondo_boi]since you know how it is in the bible, wtf is the essence of this thread?[/quote]for the christians to bring out a verse to support their claim.

[quote author=Abd'Hafeez]Of course but neither did it say that no man should marry more than one wife.my point is that both is allowed.If you can only have a wife,thats good but if you want to have more than one,well,thats fine.that's how it is in the bible.[/quote]Deutronomy 21:15 says
"If a man has two wives,one loved and the other unloved,and they have borne him children,both the loved and the unloved,and if the firstborn son is of her who is un-loved,
that verse above shows that polygamy is allowed

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]does it matter, as long as the child is well looked after by the mother?



same vice versa.it is the womans choice just as it is the mans choice.



anyways the point i am trying to make is that both, Polygamy and Polyandry create problems. in polygamy, there is lot of rivalry between women and jealousy and ill-treatment many-a-times.[/quote]Jealousy arises when there's inequality in treating them,and thats why Islam attached that condition before its allowed.

There's Nothing like gender inequality,the male has his functions and the female has hers.

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]answer this:[/quote]Polyandry creates a lot of problem.
One of them is the Identity of the child,though that can be solved through DNA test,its still not the best option.
Also,a woman married to many husbands won't be able to attend to their various needs at the same time.there's bound to be a clash.

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]i dont know. you monotheists forbid everything. this was my personal view.

there is no forbidding in Pagan religions. only a sense of what is right and what is wrong. we dont care whether it is for good or for bad.


*forbiddng or not, that is the duty of the Kingship/ruler/chiefship/govt.[/quote]Its not wrong either to be polygamous.I think its by choice,if a man feels he's capable of marrying more than one,why not?

Reyginus: In christainity, marriage involves a man and a woman coming together to become one. The holy book never instructed christains to marry beyond one wife. It never said, 'and for this reason a man wil leave his family...and join his 'wifes' . A people live their lifes based on the faith that defines them....
You may ask why . This is because no man can rise above been partial in the exhibition of love to multiple wifes. The idea is to help the husband rise above hate, along with maintaining the Edenic tradition. Above all, the bible instructed us to marry only one wife.

Of course but neither did it say that no man should marry more than one wife.my point is that both is allowed.If you can only have a wife,thats good but if you want to have more than one,well,thats fine.that's how it is in the bible.

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]it is for "weak" people who easily succumb to temptations and desires and have no control over it.[/quote]is that why its forbidden?

Saint paris: Polygamy is for lustful men.

why do you think so?

But christians,
Leviticus 10:19 says "Do not drink wine nor strong drink . . . .",
How come you all support it,even if its moderately?

Christians generally don't marry more than a wife.In fact,I haven't seen a regular church goer who has wives.As a muslim,I've asked several christian friends of mine why this is so and so far none of them have been able to quote a biblical verse to justify their claim.I therefore bring this question to my fellow Nairalanders-Why is polygamy not allowed in christianity? Thank you.

Theres actually nothing bad in posting religious stuffs,but it's not the right thing,thats why this forum is sub-sectioned,also you'll reach out to a large number of people who share ur believe.

Estha94: pls,concerning the admission letter from jamb,which scratch card r we to use,is it the result checker,cos i wanted to buy d scratch card nd i was handed a result checker 4 #2000;pls help me clear the air

its the same card for both.Just click 'print admission letter' on jamb site.

Today's the deadline but I won't re-submit cos a bro of mine went to admissions office and the response was that it's for everybody but not compulsory for everybody.its as simple as that.

fellis: I got a text message today and this was the content,

Send these 5names to 11Muslims, believe me ur biggest problem wil be solved inshaAllah;
Ya ALLAH
Ya KARIM
Ya AWWAL
Ya AKHIR
Ya ZAHIR
Pls dont delete it.Try it

I get texts like that once in a while and I don't know the Islamic stand on sending the text and expecting them to actually solve your problems.
Is it a sin and if it is, what type of sin is it?

"Believe me ur biggest problem will be solved"
Who do we believe in,the sender or Allah?
If you re-send the message,it's believing in the sender.Also,the message is contradictory cos of the "InshaALLAH".'Believe me' and InshaAllah' can't go togerther as we can only believe in Allah,anything other than that is shirk.You can also reconstruct the sentence if you still want to send it.Allah knows best.

Re-Submission is for those that Submitted A/R earlier or are you implying they didn't submit a result?If you feel your result wasn't complete,you can Re-Submit.

chipmunkey: Scolars make this claim and i am convinced that he tailored his teachings to the Arabs according to what he learnt from the jews during his travels.

Are you implying that muhammed wrote the Quran?

chipmunkey: Is it valid that prophet Muhamed (mhsrip) learnt most of his teachings from certain jews during his early days of travels, hence the similarities with biblical teachings.

but Muhammed didn't learn his teachings from the jew as he was unlettered.Muhammed's teachings are contained in a book called the hadith. The Quran was NOT written by muhammed but was delivered to him from God through the Angel Gabriel.

chipmunkey: Is it valid that prophet Muhamed (mhsrip) learnt most of his teachings from certain jews during his early days of travels, hence the similarities with biblical teachings.

some biblical teachings are from God,therefore since there's only one God,then surely the teachings will be the same.

sweetcheecks: Thanks but can you give detail. Scripture quotes, names etc. Why was he granted this? You are very vague right now.

@OP has just provided some verses.

chipmunkey: ^^^^ So do you moslems beleive his mission is to steal, kill and destroy? And if you agree with this christian belief, then why do moslems use so much violence to accomplish religious objectives?

His mission is to lead people to do those you listed above and to your second question,thats a misconception.the Quran clearly forbids violence.the boko haram sect is purely political disguised as religious.have you wondered why the Niger Delta militants weren't tagged as terrorists?
Its become the norm that whenever a person who happens to be a muslim commits a crime,he called a terrorist as against the non muslim man.
