authehighness: idolatory is anything that takes place of God in your life,even your phone can be your idol,moreover,mary has never taken place of God in our church,how many times do we mention mary in our mass,God gave law through moses and the jew celebrate and honour moses till today,God gave us christ through mary and celebrating and honouring her has become idolatory,even some country celebrate and honour their heroes,erecting statues in their honour,you hate mary,because catholic chose to honour her,forgeting she is the mother of christ,our God and saviour,first daughter of God the father,mother of God the son and spouse of God the holyspirit,salvation brought grace and she is full of grace before christ death,ask yourself why is it so,she deserve my honour,i have never worship her because i know what worship is all about,even you that claim to worship God,if God open your eyes in the spirit,you might be ashame,of what you called,worship of God u are right |

authehighness: gospel focused so much on Jesus and his ministry,there are books that give account of mary life and testimony,starting from her encouragement to the apostles while in the upper room,the role she played in the early church and her marriage to joseph,a pious and a religious,who understand God's plan for mary without argument took her as his wife,as i said early catholic is an ancient church with many collection of books,even the bible,they help to put together,gospel is all about christ no need of including mary's account,thanks,being overshadowed as archangel gabriel said in luke1v 48,said for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden,for behold henceforth all generation shall call me blessed,it is a prophesy that must fulfilled even if catholic church don't honour and called her blessed,God will raise another that will fulfil this prophecy alryt sir, no need to argue unnecessarily. u are entitled to ur belief. but if bible says Joseph took her to be his wife and that he had no marital union with her until she gav birth to her first born, then, its obvious she was nt a perpetual virgin. |

But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son…” |

All major branches of Christianity agree that Mary was a virgin until Jesus was born. But the question of whether she continued as a virgin is not agreed on. Catholic theology teaches that Mary continued in “perpetual virginity” after the birth of Jesus, while Protestants believe she had normal marital relations with her husband, and gave birth to several more children. Mark 6:3, says, “Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?” Matthew 13:55-56 says the same thing. Protestants interpret this to mean that after Jesus’ birth Joseph and Mary produced several children in the normal way. Catholics disagree. Some argue these were children of Joseph by a former wife (of which Scripture is silent). Most focus on the Greek word adelphoi, translated “brothers.” They interpret this to refer to relatives other than immediate family, usually “cousins.” They correctly point out that the word adelphoi is sometimes used for close relatives other than brothers and at times for fellow countrymen. But in this passage Jesus is called “the carpenter” (a very specific reference), as well as “Mary’s son” (a close family reference), and then the adelphoi are listed by name (again suggesting immediate family), and “sisters” (adelphai) are mentioned as a group. Because the context uses such specific and close terms for Jesus and Mary, it is likely that the adelphoi are best understood as “brothers” and the adelphai as “sisters.” A relevant incident is found in Matthew 12:46-47, Mark 3:31-32 and Luke 8:19-20. Jesus was busy with ministry, surrounded by a crowd so large that when “Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him” they couldn’t get near him. Jesus was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” We again admit that adelphoi can refer to relatives besides direct siblings, but the use of “mother” along with “brothers” suggests these were immediate family members. Some argue Jesus’ response, that those who do God’s will are his “mother and brothers,” indicates those outside were not his real mother and brothers. That is not what Jesus meant, however. He was contrasting his genuine blood relatives with his metaphorical relatives. Jesus always did the will of his Father, and those who do the same are akin to him. One last notable point concerning the word “brothers” (adelphoi): If the authors of Scripture intended to mean “cousins” rather than “brothers,” there is a Greek word that would have more precisely said that. It is the word anepsios, used in Colossians 4:10, where we read that Mark “was the cousin of Barnabas.” Psalm 69 is a Messianic psalm, quoted several times in the New Testament with reference to Jesus (John 15:25 quotes verse 4; Romans 15:3 quotes vs. 9; Matthew 27:34 quotes vs. 21; Acts 1:8 quotes vs. 25). But the verse that is relevant to our question is Psalm 69:8, which reads, “I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother's sons.” It describes how Jesus’ brothers would reject him, which at first they did. These “brothers” were not his cousins, for they were his “own mother’s sons.” There are other indications that Joseph and Mary had sexual relations after Jesus was born. Luke 2:7 says, “...she gave birth to her firstborn, a son...” Why call Jesus “firstborn” unless others were born? Jesus is called God’s “only born” (Greek monogenes), so why not call him Mary’s “only born?” I suggest it is because he wasn’t her only born. Matthew 1:24-25 tells us, “When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son…” The sentence would be complete without the phrase “until she gave birth to a son.” Why include it? Because apparently Joseph had union with Mary after she delivered Jesus. The natural result of this would be other children, half-siblings of Jesus. |

TheNazarene: First, lets get things straight, I am replying as a believer in Jesus Christ not as a member of RCCG, Winners, OFM, Christ Embassy or any of them.
Secondly, don't think you can comprehend God because He made us in His Image, in His Likeness! We are by far inferior to Him in both our most domesticated and wildest imaginations, He can do and undo whatever He pleases and will not be questioned.
That is why He is God. If you want the foolishness of mankind to cause you to question or challenge Him, I can tell you boldly that there won't be a beginning to your story.
Now when we study the Bible from the beginning, we see that when man fell, all God has been doing is to bring into this world through human means a man that will be blameless, which is His Son Jesus Christ. And so He chose Abraham, Isaac then Jacob who gave rise to Israel. Looking at the patriarchs, we will see that they were let me put purify to God's standard for all nations through many trials and testings, therefore their descendants Israel was (at that time) a nation through which God can bring forth the Saviour of the world.
Then, He chose Judah, who also got the kind of blessings from Jacob, which hinted of Judah being a royal house/lineage, everything is set, God now has a chose lineage out of a chosen nation, He just have to ensure continuity while maintaining the purity of that lineage by any (Godly/goodly) means necessary.
Genesis 38:2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her. Genesis 38:3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. Genesis 38:4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan. Genesis 38:5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. Genesis 38:6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. Genesis 38:7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. Genesis 38:8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. Genesis 38:9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. Genesis 38:10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. Genesis 38:11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house. Genesis 38:12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Looking at the traditions of that time, it was like an abomination for a man not to have a descendant that will preserve his name that is why Judah told Onan to sleep with Tamar to give Er a descendant (absurd right? but that was what was obtainable then)
But satan living up to his name as being evil, trying to put a stop to God's plans, got Er and Onan to incur God's wrath and get killed, and at that time his daughter also died which gave Judah goosebumps of losing all His children
Therefore Judah tried to safeguard his last descendant, Shelah (who might have have evil tendencies as his brothers) rather than give him to Tamar so as to avoid the same fate as his brothers, he tried to stifle traditions, well God didn't have time for the traditions of men, all He wanted was to ensure the continuity of Judah till the time of Jesus birth.
And so satan played into God's Hands, satan thought that Judah sleeping with a prostitute will scatter everything and taint Judah, but to the shame of the devil, Judah slept with Tamar who is not a prostitute but disguised as one, now I am not saying my next postulation is infallible but...since the traditions of that time required the first son to have a descendant, so we can say Judah gave Er a descendant, while staying alive and without risking Shelah. So we can say technically he did the right thing according to the traditions at the time, which justifies Pharez as a legitimate son.
I don't have the time now to go into Solomon and Rehoboam's cases, but all I can say is that these three exceptions are God's way of proving to us that with Him no matter how messy our lives are, we can have a glorious and and expected end. Because as we can see Judah, David and Solomon didn't train their children well enough in the way of the Lord which brought about this mess
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
and please can you quote the place in the Bible God promised David many wives? middledimension has answered the bolded. its is annoying that believers are more grounded in church doctrine than biblical principles. we wil be biased to say david, judah and solomon are exceptions. God is not a respecter of man.he told Hosea to marry an harlot for some reasons. bible says God is dsame forever. he hates putting away and that is the fact. that is why he punished david for his action rather than allowing him to put her away. David's case was even bad bcus he snatched her from her husband and later killed him. the issue here is not snatching somebody's wife o. check ur bible from Gen to Rev. there is no such doctrine or instruction like "putting away" under any condition be it law or grace. let us leave bible aside and analyse it rationally. u and I and our siblings are born to same father but diff mothers who are legally married to him. my father got born again and decided to put ur mother away and keep my mother in the house. my bro, wil u be happy and be jubilating  . and u shud not forget that ur mother either young or old is not at liberty to marry again according to bible. No mater ur spiritual level, u and ur mother won't be happy with such father and this can make u sin. God is wiser than man. he knows best wen he says there is no room for putting away. |

tamethem: You have made a very strong point bro. The same I wanted to point out before reading your post.
Now Our people don't know that when the whites that brought Christianity brot it they brought their culture along. I am sure if the British wore Jalamia traditionally we would have been wearing Jalamia to church but because they came with their suits and trousers every pastor and Christian is in suit to church.
One man one wife is the tradition of the British who brought us Christianity.
Now when Paul was addressing the congregation he said who among you who want to be Bishops or Deacons must be men of one wife.
Common sense should tell us that if A Principal stands in front of the whole Assembly of students and says who among you students that wants to be Prefect must always tuck in your Shirt.
What he means is those of you that don't aspire to be prefects can leave your shirts out of your trousers.
And if he wants all to tuck in. He would have said
Everyone of you must always tuck in your shirts.
There is no place in the entire Bible where the Bibles says polygamy is a sin. No where.
Two shall become one that people quote and refer to is the man and each of the women.
Non of the women came to be joined with any other woman in the first place but the man. So each of them is one with the husband. There is no three or four in this case.
It may sound somehow but its because we have allowed ourselves to be misled by the culture of those that brought us Christianity.
If we say only everything that Jesus did is what we are going to do then non of us should be married because Christ never did.
Peace nothing but fact |

TheNazarene: Yes, I admit, I forgot those...but come to think of it, having only three exceptions against my proposition can't stand against generations of Biblical examples (though not directly) supporting marital restitution? sir, let's face the realities of biblical tenets and leave church doctrine aside this. the case of Judah (father in law) and tammer daughter in law) alone which resulted to the birth of pharez part of the genealogy is enough to stop Jesus from being part of that generation. but God is not a man and he knows best. Solomon was a son of Bathsheba whom david killed her husband and committed adultery with yet he was part of Jesus genealogy and the greatest king. Rehoboam was another example and yet God allowed Jesus to come through them. when david repented of his sin God never told him to sent her away but bible called her Davids wife and Gabe birth to Solomon. examples of these are much. let's stop making and teaching doctrine that is not biblical. God himself promised david multiple wives, so why are we speaking for God. im not advocating for multiple wives but once u married them, u are not at liberty to put her away no matter the circumstance being born again or not. that is the standard of God. he hates putting away. |

alBHAGDADI: Why are you hell bent on getting this twisted?
Putting away means divorce in the Eyes of God. You can only put away/divorce the first wife you got married to. It is such God hates. But putting away the other women that came after your first wife is not regarded as putting away/divorce in the Eyes of God cos He never recognized them. Your union with them was adulterous to Him. So therefore, your putting them away is seen as obedience to Him. I'm just laughing at this. u are typing as if u are God. stop all this philosophical statement and show me where God recognized a wife and didn't for the other. u said Christians are striving to go back to original plan of marriage, then there should be room to marry a deceased brother's wife abi??, u can sleep with a virgin and turned her to ur wife  etc bcus it was part of the law. my brother stop confusing ursev. once u marry someone legally u are not allowed be it under law or grace to put her away. bcus God commanded we shud not marry someone that has bn put away. Paul emphasized it as well that separated person shud not marry again. dont preach to any one to put his wife/wives away bcus God hates it. it is better to remain unmarried than to put away for any reason be it born again or anytin. |

alBHAGDADI: You can't find it expressly written that ''put away your other wives after you get born again''. No, you can't find such. You can only find scriptures that state what a Christian marriage should be. Anything asides that is sin. Or will you now say having sex with a sex doll isn't sin cos the bible didn't state it expressly?
Now, what problem do you think you are creating for yourself and the children from such union? Have you ever thought about the good you might actually be paving way for? What if she ends up with a good man, a man of her own? What if she remains and creates problems associated with polygamy in your house?
Don't live in sin. Your preventing such a woman from going is also tieing her down in sin. see confusion. and it is written dat u can't marry a woman that has bn put away. a separated woman shud remain single. oya say another thing. once u marry a woman, u dont hav the right to put her away. read ur bible very well. |
