erico2k2: . Adam — Married to Eve (Genesis 2:22–25). Noah — Married to his unnamed wife, who entered the Ark with him (Genesis 7:7). Isaac — Married only to Rebekah (Genesis 24:67). Unlike his father Abraham or son Jacob, Isaac remained strictly monogamous throughout his life. Joseph — Married to Asenath, daughter of Potiphera (Genesis 41:45). Moses — Married to Zipporah (Exodus 2:21). (Note: Numbers 12:1 mentions a "Cushite woman," which biblical scholars debate as either a descriptor/epithet for Zipporah or a second wife, though Zipporah is his only explicitly named spouse). Boaz — Married to Ruth (Ruth 4:13). Job — Married to his wife who survived his trials (Job 2:9, Job 42:12–13). Hosea — Married to Gomer (Hosea 1:2–3). Isaiah — Married to "the prophetess" (Isaiah 8:3). Ezekiel — Married to his wife, referred to as "the desire of his eyes" (Ezekiel 24:15–18). So we can see clearly the Bible also supports monogamy, your assertion that it is merely European innovation is defeated. |

erico2k2: SO how did Adam and Eve bare kids? The Bible presents Adam and Eve as the first human couple, joined by God in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 2 describes God creating Eve from Adam’s rib to be a suitable companion, emphasizing equality, unity, and partnership (Genesis 2:21-22) BibleAsk BibleAsk +1 . When Adam first saw Eve, he recognized her as “bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh,” marking the beginning of their marital relationship (Genesis 2:23) christianfaithguide.com christianfaithguide.com . The text refers to Eve as Adam’s wife and Adam as her husband, confirming their marital status (Genesis 2:25; 3:6) BibleAsk BibleAsk +2 . This is irrelevant to the issue. Adam had one wife or can you point out to anywhere on the Bible where it says he had more than 1. |

erico2k2: it is, even people marry thier sister like Adam and EVe That is not supported by the evidence. Unless you want to show me Isaiah's other wives then your point fails. |

Dtruthspeaker: You have come with your lies again Isaiah never had 2 wives
AI Overview The Bible does not record that the prophet Isaiah had two wives. • Wife's Identity: Isaiah is mentioned as having one wife, whom he refers to simply as "the prophetess" in Isaiah 8:3. • Children: Scripture records that they had at least two sons with symbolic prophetic names: Shear-Jashub and Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (Isaiah 7:3, 8:3).
Moses never had to wives like Rasak Okoya and co
If at all, the worse is that he was married twice just like Chris oyaks and chris okotie and no one calls that polygamy.
And isaac had only one wife. And he was not a prophet. AI Overview According to the biblical record, Isaac had only one wife, Rebekah.
But I'm sure you meant to say Jacob. And Jacob does not count because he was deceived into having it. "Deception invalidates an action".
AI Overview In legal, ethical, and contractual frameworks, deception inherently invalidates an act or agreement because it destroys the core requirement of genuine consent. When one party relies on a lie or a misrepresentation, their choice is no longer truly voluntary or informed.
And then Deuteronomy 17:17 shows God completely bans polygamy which by the time the Bible reaches Malachi you no longer see any Israelite with more than one wife.
So, you see, you are lying as you usual do Is it reading comprehension or blindness that is giving you issues? |

erico2k2: YOu amongst the few these pastors use to cash out, who told you MOSES had just one wife? your Pastor I guess and I also guess you was too lazy or ignorant to read your Bible yourself and get your own knowledge. Bro go and read the bible well, Moses had more than one wife. Bro I don't believe in the Bible so try not to be condescending towards me. I am taking an objective view of the subject so I am not coloured by belief or the need to defend the text. Yes there is disagreement about how many wives Moses had and there is no consensus on the matter. Even if you discount Moses there are still others plus the married Apostles apparently only had one each. So the claim that monogamy is a European concept is not supported by the evidence. |

muhmeen: Prophet Israel T. Ford and Pastor Lydia Ford, leaders of LifeWorks Church near Cleveland, Ohio, announced Shakayla Ford as Israel's second wife, framing it as God's will and citing Exodus 21:10.
Lydia herself introduced Shakayla positively to the congregation, and photos show the three posing happily together.
Israel posted on Facebook that the 'one wife only' teaching is unbiblical, while critics cite 1 Timothy 3:2 and traditional Christian emphasis on monogamy from major denominations.
Supporters reference Old Testament examples of polygyny, sparking wide online reactions from shock to defense.

Interesting15: We also explored believers like us who walked in some out-of-the-roof dimensions by the Spirit, including how Philip was teleported spectacularly right before the Ethiopian eunuch.
Now, why are we not seeing these things in today's Christianity circles? It is simply because we have reduced faith to Sunday service and rationalized away the supernatural. Rather the simple explanation for why such doesn't happen today is that such "magic" doesn't exist. No matter how irrational you get you will never be teleported anywhere just by prayer or some wuuwuu holy spirit shenanigans. The fact is modern Christians can see that these so called supernatural things are so far fetched that some have began to take these tales as allegorical. |

Christianity Etc › Re: God-fearing: A Personal Reflection On Moral Agency by LordReed(m): 11:48am On Oct 23 |
Roycemadeit: GOD-FEARING: A PERSONAL REFLECTION ON MORAL AGENCY
I have once wondered why people present being God-fearing as evidence of good character. I find the idea unconvincing because religious belief does not automatically make anyone honest, compassionate, faithful, or responsible.
I consider myself a realist. I believe in principles, learning from experience, and taking responsibility for one's decisions. When I do something and the outcome is bad, I examine what went wrong and adjust my approach. I do not need an invisible authority to explain why harmful actions have consequences.
Religious people, like everyone else, can lie, cheat, exploit others, and abuse their positions. Some attend church every Sunday and still behave dishonestly. Others occupy pulpits, preach morality, and claim to represent God while contradicting the principles they teach.
This does not mean religious people are inherently bad. Many genuinely draw inspiration from their faith and practise compassion, honesty, and generosity. My objection is to treating religious identity as proof of moral superiority.
The same problem appears in relationships. Someone says they want a God-fearing husband or wife, presumably expecting faithfulness, honesty, and responsibility. But those qualities must be established through conduct, not from religious affiliation.
I also question the tendency to outsource moral judgment to God, religious authorities, or the law. Laws are necessary, but those who make and enforce them can break them too. Some are Christians who proudly describe themselves as God-fearing. Their positions do not prevent misconduct, and their authority does not excuse it..
My concern is broader: people sometimes hide behind instructions, traditions, religious teachings, or established procedures rather than accept responsibility for their choices.
Obedience is not the same as integrity, just as God-fearingness is not the same as goodness.
A person who follows instructions without questioning their consequences can still cause harm. Saying "I was following orders" does not automatically absolve anyone of responsibility.
I would rather associate with people who think critically, understand the consequences of their actions, and accept accountability when they are wrong. Religious belief may inspire good conduct, but it cannot replace independent moral reasoning.
Ultimately, I am more interested in the principles people practise than the authorities they claim to obey. I would rather live among people who understand why they should do good than those who simply depend on external authority to tell them what is right.
To me, genuine moral maturity begins when we take responsibility for our choices. I wish this was how we brought up children, society would be a whole lot more cooperative. |
Science/Technology › Re: Elon Musk’s Predictions For The Next 10 Years (Photos) by LordReed(m): 8:00am On Oct 23 |
Great100000: Elon Musk has shared an ambitious timeline for the future of artificial intelligence, predicting that the technology could transform nearly every aspect of human work within the next decade. According to his projections, Al could surpass human intelligence as early as 2026, followed by a major shift in 2027 when artificial intelligence may become capable of handling virtually all digital work. By 2028, Musk believes Al systems could reach a point where even the most skilled human software developers would struggle to outperform them.
His predictions extend far beyond computers and into the physical world through advanced robotics. Musk has suggested that Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot could eventually perform surgical procedures better than the world's leading human surgeons by 2029. Looking further ahead, he envisions more than 100 million humanoid robots operating worldwide by 2031, with artificial intelligence eventually becoming more capable than the combined intellectual abilities of humanity.
By 2036, Musk predicts a future in which approximately 1 billion humanoid robots could be deployed across industries, potentially generating more physical labor output than the entire human workforce combined. While these timelines remain speculative and depend on major technological breakthroughs, they highlight just how dramatically Musk expects Al and robotics to reshape the global economy, employment and everyday life over the coming decade. Elon Musk the hype man. |
