He that created them made them male and female therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife (not wives). Gen 2:24

The man and his wife (not wives) was naked but they were not ashamed. Gen 2:25

The days of ignorance God overlooked but he has called everyone to repent.

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept, and he took ONE of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead, and the rib which the Lord had taken made he ONE woman and brought her to the man. Gen 2:21-22

In the beginning he made them male and female. Mark 10:6, Matt 19:4

God overlooked people's ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. Acts 17:30For everyone that said Solomon, David etc married many wives, read Heb 11:40. These were heroes of faith but God in his wisdom did not want them to achieve perfection without us. Hebrews 11:40 "For God had something better in mind for us, so that they would not reach perfection without us"

It is one man, one wife. He that hath an ear let him hear.

You have no excuse, if you are filthy, be filthy still, if you are unjust, be unjust, if you're righteous,
be righteous, if you're holy, be holy.

The Lord Jesus says behold I am coming quickly and my reward is with me to give to everyone according to his work shall be. I am the Alpha and the Omega. Rev 22:11-13.

And they are the majority. Are they alive and breathing yes. Has the world fallen over them, no.
Grow up.
39% of those who brought Christianity to you don't believe in that. In real life, more than half of them don't care about religion yet you carry am for head.
We go be all right one day.
Waiting for real development in Nigeria and health giving priority, you will be shocked that more than half of us will renounce religion.[/s]

Clean your mouth from speaking your lies.

There were already 1st, 2nd, 3rd Century African Christian Theologian like Origen of Alexandria, etcetera.

The Aksumite Empire of modern Ethiopia and Eritea were already Christians by even 4th Century. Even some two centuries after, the Nubian kingdoms of Nobatia, Makuria and Alodia were already Christians so that Silly idea that some Portuguese who brought you Catholicism in the 15th century that is 1500 years after many Africans are already Christians brought Christianity to Africans is silly propagandist lie only accepted by pathological liars and illiterates.

One Bible, different interpretations!

These are one of the numerous injuries from colonialism. Bible was used as a bandage to cover the WOUND. I pray this healing is permanent.
Amen.

As in... the white man was probably surprised when he came to Africa. He came and saw that there were no prostitutes or infidelity in marriage. No sex orgies like they have in their place. He decided to corrupt Africa with tales by Jewish moonlight. Forced one man one wife, thereby leading to a whole lot of women being unmarried & thus becoming whores. Most people do not know that there were monogamous & polygamous marriages existing side by side with no issue. They corrupted our pure culture with religion. Half of the baby momas would be married if not for this. For you to sleep with a chic without condom for a long time up till she became pregnant means you could probably live with her if not for one two.

RussellRutherfo:


The speech and manipulative half-ass quote of the child of the devil who wants to justify his own sin of sexual pleasure under polygamy just like Satan wanted his creator, Jesus to bow to him in Matthew 4:7 by quoting Psalms 91 to Jesus and Jesus quoted back Deuteronomy 6:16 to prove to Satan that he can not tempt his creator and God that is Jesus.

A Church Father puts in a better form that I love. Hilary of Poitiers: "Thus beating down the efforts of the Devil, He professes Himself both God and Lord."


Back to our Polygamy issue. Let me quote Luke 16:16. NLTranslation puts in a better format for us to understand properly.

Luke 16:16 NLT — “Until John the Baptist, the law of Moses and the messages of the prophets were your guides. But now the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is eager to get in.

Already, Luke 16:16 proves to you that you don't even understand the scriptures neither what the Creator, Jesus said. You twist scriptures obviously. Let us hear what Jesus Christ himself said which were the original intention of God but man deviated from and God just overlooked in the Old testament convenant but in the new testament convenant. If you will strive and be eager to enter into the Kingdom of God. You must be caught doing except it's not your choice to be in the Kingdom.

There is a choice to be in hell and God can't stop you from what you actually want.

If you are to be a true follwer of Jesus Christ - the perfect one then you must follow his ethical best example for a man and a woman. As Moses writes, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).

This marriage pattern established at creation — one man and one woman in a monogamous commitment — is both commanded and commended throughout the rest of Scripture. The seventh commandment forbids adultery — that is, sexual activity outside the bounds of marriage (Exodus 20:14). Deuteronomy forbids Israel’s future king, the ideal Israelite and new Adam (cf. Psalm , from multiplying wives (Deuteronomy 17:17). The Song of Solomon poetically unfurls the glory of marriage and sex in a way that lauds complementarian monogamy.

The New Testament follows the same pattern. Jesus, as we have seen, affirms the goodness of God’s design for monogamy in Mark 10. Similarly, the church’s elders, whose lives should serve as examples of faithfulness for all Christians (1 Peter 5:3), must be one-woman men (1 Timothy 3:2).

Finally, in Ephesians 5, Paul shows the logic behind God’s design for marriage. God didn’t institute complementarity and monogamy into the created order arbitrarily. Instead, these features reflect heavenly realities — namely, Christ’s relationship with his people. As Christ has only one bride, so marriage on earth testifies to that truth.

Do you seek to emulate the sinful life of Lamech, a polygamist descendant of Cain and the polygamy sin of Abraham who was forced by his wife, Sarah or that of Solomon or that of David who murdered a woman's husband and cried severally in Psalms asking for mercy or you want to follow the perfect example of the pure life giver and the one whom the apostles of the Church followed who were not polygamists.

You knwow, when the likes o you speak, I just laugh! you think you knw anything about the faith you claim to profess!

First of all, you make the claim that the one who wants to get married so as to fulfil his sexual desire is doing the wrong thing; HOW WRONG YOU ARE! Paul says: ''for the sake of the flesh, marry one!'' So, you can see your bible is against you!

God did not overlook polygamy in the old testament, stop telling lies and become of your father the devil! If God is not ok with it and only over looked it, he would not have said to David through the mouth of the prophet, Nathan, that ''He has GIVEN DAVID HIS MASTER'S WIVES UNDER HIS BOSSOM...AND IF THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH, HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM MORE!''

Stop calling sin, what go has not called a sin. He said David was so blameless, the ONLY sin he committed, was to have committed adultry, and not just that, he had the husband, a loyal man, killed! Here it is in the bible 1Kings 15:5
''For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.''

Let me emphasize it again:
He said David HAD DONE ALL THAT IS RIGHT IN EYES OF THE LORD (including the faxt he had more than obe wife)... and that the ONLY sin he committed, was to have taken a man's wife from him (adultry and murder of not just any body, but an innocent and Loyal soldier! He told the soldier, go and sleep with your wife, and the soldier said: why should I when my commerades are on the battle field! Ehen the King insisted, He pretended like he had left, and slept at the door of the palace! This is the evil he committed, Not because he took another wife! Because God was the one who gave him those wives).

Let me remind you what the lord said about those who add to the bible: He said he who adds to this, god will add to him, the plagues described in this book! so, be careful not to say what God has not said in the bible!

I woukd have love to respond to this post of your to even a greater detail, but I have committments.

Just to drol another point: Lamach was not Sinful! He raised a home that produced people who were acomplished in their careers! The bible says one of his sons is the father of those who made tents, while another one was also established. if there was no holy spirit in his house, how then was that possible? without peace, there would not have been a good atmosphere to produce people that established in their chosen careers! Jesus is the prince of peace, hence lamach had jesus! Don't call anyone sinful when your God has not called him so! be warned! Bible says: thou shall not judge, elae, you will be judged!

"According to him, what God hates is divorce of any type, and sleeping with another man’s wife.



He insisted that God desired men to even marry more than one wife, instead of going for someone’s wife or ladies they were not married to."

The man has spoken the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!!

Mark you, true polygamy is not synonymous with irresponsible promiscuity, or side chicking. In true polygamy, you only get approved for another wife after you have been responsible enough to your home and then have excess resources to take up added responsibility for another wife starting with paying for all the rites involved. It is the game reserved for highly responsible and accomplished men.

Lol. The man spoke his own truth. Some other people hold monogamy as their own truth..

Truth is conditioned reality, while Reality is unconditioned truth.
The reality is, neither of the two marriage types would stop infidelity.

Therefore, the reality is,
the concept of marriage is one with an agenda, and against nature

FILEBE:


Shame on you. That is some misogynistic stuff you wrote up there. A man can never be a whole. Yet you pay for see, you will do all to get the sex . Men are the ones raping for sex.

Keep your Penis on your pant and see how low the bodycounts will become .

Shame on your emasculated self as well. Bye now.

If guys are faithful.??...so men alone are to be blamed for cheating?? Cos i dont get what your first statement mean...

..both men and women sleep around when they are single.....its a habit..a sweet, fun habit...marriage doesnt automatically make that habit go away because its a problem of lack of sexual dicipline also called greed...

. having plenty wives doesnt fix greed...ask greedy politicians...there will always be a finer, curvy woman out there..
..also being married to man that fvcks several other women under the same or different roofs in the name of marriage doesnt fix it either....

Women cheat in monogamous marriage right??....u now think when other women are sharing penis with her she will be happily faithful??

I honestly struggle to understand u.

Wen I said "guys", I meant d man and his multiple wives.
Dats, provided dey're faithful to themselves

Bolded above
I want to put it to you that you don't force your assertion on issues like this...
You relied on the fact that "God says man shall leave his parent and cleave to his wife" not wives....
So what happen when a man marry a wife in an occasion and another wife in a different occasion like Jacob in the Bible?
Your rejoinder fell flat like a pack of jokker cards when you compare with Jacob marrying two wives in different occasions...

When Jacob serves the terms of dowry for his love Rachel... Rachel father gave Jacob Leah the elder sister to Rachel....bible says Jacob had intercourse with Leah....and accepts to marry her....SO JACOB WEDS ONE WIFE (LEAH) NOT WIVES...
But Jacob insists that Rachel was his true love and wants to marry Rachel...so Rachel father did not have problem with that since Jacob must conform with the custom of not marrying younger sister but rather also marry the elderly first.
Again JACOB SERVES ANOTHER DOWRY TERM OF 7YEARS TO HAVE RACHEL... AND FINALLY JACOB WEDS RACHEL HIS WIFE ( NOT WIVES) and also intercourse with her...

Can we say Jacob is one flesh with Leah? Yes
Can we also say Jacob is one flesh with Rachel?
Yes
Does it have Gods approval yes
How God saw that LEAH wasn't receiving OF ve like Rachel, God intervened and cause Leah to bore children..

Did God abhor Jacob for marrying 2 wives duly ?
No..Jacob was never referred to as adulterous man
How do we know that God approved Jacob as a righteous man?

GOD BLESS JACOB, AND EVEN CHANGED HIS NAME TO ISRAEL... YES JACOB 12 SONS BECAME 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL...

Read

Genesis 29: 25-35

When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me?(H) I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived me ?(I)”

26 Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one.(J) 27 Finish this daughter’s bridal week;(K) then we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work.

28 And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.(M) 29 Laban gave his servant Bilhah(N) to his daughter Rachel as her attendant.(O) 30 Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah.(P) And he worked for Laban another seven years.(Q)

31 When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved,(R) he enabled her to conceive,(S) but Rachel remained childless. 32 Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son.(T) She named him Reuben,[a](U) for she said, “It is because the Lord has seen my misery.(V) Surely my husband will love me now.”

33 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Because the Lord heard that I am not loved, (W) he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.

You keep contradicting yourself

You said God did not want the early polygamous brethren to achieve perfection without us
OK..
Are you saying God made a law of one man and one woman in marriage, then responsible
For people like Jacob Solomon and many more to break the rule? Even though God approved their marriage status and bless them?

You seems confused about the perfection talked about in the book of Hebrews
You need to consolidate other verses in book of Hebrews

God is NOT OF CONFUSION But ORDERLY
God Does NOT LIE.

read your Bible with understanding
God bless you

Did you read part where I asked who takes care of offsprings of polygamy? you people pretend as if white people are irresponsible as you guys, how many black people have resources to run a polygamaus home, how many kids did King Charles have even with his so called second wife? Continue thinking with your penis

Are you helping anyone to run his polygamous house? A slave will always believe anything. Who told you that the whites take care of all their children? Many of them don't take care of their kids like you think.
