A very smooth Paypal funds transaction was had with @Baskela with my able boss @Wese90 providing the trustworthy Escrow that he's reputable for.
If you went through my previous replies, you'd realize that I've been scammed already by a pig I met on this same nairaland due to my foolishness. This is surely a breath of fresh air and I'm glad I did the right thing this time.

Kudos to my bosses for making this very smooth. I'll definitely be using both their services again.

Each one of 10 women can have one husband and each one can refer to that man as "her own" husband on a personal note just like a mother and father can independently lay claim to a child as his or her own.

Bro biko make I stop here cos I am done with your philosophical permutation and combination of the scriptures and even worse is your lack of understanding of simple grammertical conjunctions.

I'm not supporting or opposing polygamy neither do I plan to practise it but just setting the tables straight...IT WAS NEVER TAGGED A SIN IN THE SCRIPTURES...so ladies must wake up ro the truth and syop running upandan like termites with the warped mindset of one man one woman.

End of discussion

Bye

Toks2008:
The funny thing is that even the scripture they all quote from the book of timothy has many interpretations.

Husband of one wife

Many critics of polygamy also point to the Paul epistles that state that church officials should be respectable, above reproach, and the husband of a single wife.

Hermeneutically, the Greek phrase mias gunaikos andra is an unusual Greek construction, capable of being translated in multiple ways, including (but not limited to):
1) "one wife man," (prohibiting plural marriage) or
2) "a wife man" (requiring elders to be married) or
3) "first wife man" (prohibiting divorcés from ordination).

Other interpretations include:

Being faithful in relationships or restrained from chasing many women, so as to be characterized as a one-woman man; having been married only once (even if morally and legally released from the marriage bond by the death of the spouse).

Some argue that definition 1 above implies acceptance of polygamy in the larger Christian culture , explaining Paul's explicit rejection of polygamy for elders. However, the qualifications for elders almost exclusively mirror the expectations for all Christians, including restrictions on drunkenness and instructions to manage one's household well.

Paul answered this problem by allowing widows to remarry (1 Cor. vii. 39. and 1 Tim 5:11–16). Paul says that only one man women older than 60 years can make the list of Christian widows, but that younger widows should remarry to hinder sin.

Some conclude that by requiring leaders of the Church be one woman men, Paul excluded remarried widowers from having influence. This would have been a more strict understanding of monogamy and would have been a new and unusual demand on men.

Toks2008:
Explain that word...condemn and show me a quote where Paul condemned polygamy.

I will advise you to study the scriptures and not take one part in isolation.

If tithing is still relevant despite an old testament thing then please go to sleep and don't come here to condemn polygamy.

Most Christian theologians argue that in
Matthew 19:3–9 and referring to Genesis 2:24 Jesus explicitly states a man should have only one wife:

"Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"

Polygamists do not dispute that in marriage "two shall be one flesh", they only disagree with the idea that a married man can only be "one flesh" with one woman.

Assuming the man is married, the fact that a man can even be "one flesh" with a harlot apparently does not negate his being "one flesh" with his wife.

"Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, 'The two will become one flesh.'"
1 Corinthians 6:16

This indicates that the term one flesh refers to a physical, rather than spiritual, union.

So if a man is married, he and his wife are "one flesh." To add another wife would mean that the new wife becomes "one flesh" with the man AND his current wife.

Toks2008:
It amazes me that we tend to cut out a part of THE BIBLE,THE WORD OF GOD,when it comes to vital issues..when it comes to tithing the old testament is very very relevant but now on the issue of polygamy it becomes the old testament. Abeg swerve.

Even the king of kings himself,the embodiment of new testament,,my lord and Saviour Jesus said clearly...for i have not come to abolish the law(old testament) but to fulfill it.

Matthew 5:17
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

I repeat,polygamy was never ever a sin in the bible and it was never condemned because there was no where it was specifically tagged a condemned act. Nevertheless as i wrote,it may not be advisable but it is not the same as calling it a sin.

obowunmi:
No it doesn't. This is a lie from the pit of hell.

Monogamy is a choice.

Solomon the wisest man in the Bible had 300 plus wives and many more concubines.
