Antiochus:
Polygamy wasn't God's plan from the beginning. God gave a wife to Adam not wives it was sin that brought in Polygamy.

Genesis 2:24
[24]Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

They shall become one and not two or three or five so polygamy is against God's plan for man.

Always read the bible in context and not from a closed mind.


A man becomes one with all his wives, why there is a law protecting all the wives. Apart from the bible, our ancestors practiced same here and same is applicable to lots of culture outside Africa.

This is why there's no place in the entire bible it's written divorce your husband because of infidelity because a man is allowed to take more than one woman and concubines.

Divorce because of infidelity is for women only.


Christ said, you only divorce your wife if she cheats, never did he said, divorce if he cheats.


Stop mixing western culture into Christianity.

realoscar84:
God told the Israelites that another prophet will be sent to teach them what they must do to gain everlasting life! Deuteronomy 18:18-19

Why then do the Christian refer to Jesus as God? They started from the "3 God in One" as in holy trinity, as if that wasn't enough, they moved to "Jesus is Lord" which is still popular today. Then they moved to the height of blasphemy by referring to Jesus as God. Jesus is just another messenger of God Almighty just like others before and after him sent to liberate the Israelites but you lots have elevated him to the status of God. How illogical can that be? According to you guys, God was crucifixes, he bled and he even cried on the cross? Damn.

Ignorant people have turned Christianity to a joke.


They first started by changing the name of the Messiah to Jesus and making their own version of god. Blonde blue eyes fine boy jesus.


I see em as jokers.

Christ never said he's Yahweh (God the Father), but ignorant people eeeh


John 1:1 to me is blasphemy. That's the genesis of all the drama.

POLYGAMY! POLYGAMY!! POLYGAMY!!!

You will all agree with me that one of the most controversial word in Christiandom today is POLYGAMY

Are you a religious scholar? a Pastor? a Theologian? a born again Christian?.......?

Please, feel free to constructively contribute, castigate, correct, admonishe, advice, preach........in accordance with the provisions of the Holy Bible (the word of God)

Heaven or hell fire doesn't exist. That's what you are told by the people who didn't know what eclipses were, people who had no idea of comets

Impressive analysis 👍

MaxInDHouse:
If you want to talk about cultures there are many different cultures around the world.

So anyone is free to follow whatever culture that suits their thinking but in Paradise it's going to be ONE Adam ONE Eve!

The only paradise that's in existence only exists in your head . The day you die, your paradise and hell die with you.

Before I go further, I will like you to have the following questions at the back of your minds.

1). Who was the first person to engage in the act of POLYGAMY according to the Bible?

2). Is POLYGAMY a sin in the Bible?

3). Did God in the Bible condemn POLYGAMY?

4). Those that according to the Bible engaged in POLYGAMY, are they in Hell?

GEAR 1
Lamech was the first man to marry more than one wife, Gen 4:19

GEAR 2
Godly/Holy persons that engaged in POLYGAMY according to the Bible included Abdon, Judges 12:13-14; Abijah, 2 Chronicles 13-21; Abraham, Gen 16-1-3, Gen 25:1; Ahab, 1 kings 20:1-3;
Ahaseurus, Esther 1:9,
Ashur, 1 Chronicles 4:5,
Belshazzar, Daniel 5:2,
Ben-Hadad (who married Ahab's wives), Caleb, 1 Chronicles 2:18-19, David (had 8wives), 1 Samuel 18:27, 25:39, 25:42, 2 Samuel 3:5, 5:13, 12:7-8, 12:24.
Eliphaz, Gen 36:11-12.
Elkanah, 1 Samuel 1:1-2
Esau, Gen 26:34
Ezra, 4:17-18;
Gideon, Judges 8:30....and many more.

We had not fewer than 40 Godly and ungodly men that engaged in POLYGAMY from the Bible. Also, we had not less than 43 POLYGAMY cases from the Bible.

GEAR 3
Had God condemned POLYGAMY?
No! God NEVER did In all the POLYGAMY cases mentioned in the Bible, God did not condemn any axcept David who snatched Uriah's wife. God said to David ' in 2 Samuel 12:8; I gave your master's house to you, and your master's wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more." Why did God himself say so to David?

GEAR 4
Is POLYGAMY a sin?
Those that engage in POLYGAMY are they in hell?
Is Abraham in hell? (Luke 16:19-31)
Is Jacob in hell?
Is David, Solomon, Elkanah, Ezra.....@all, in hell?

GEAR 5
Does God permit POLYGAMY? The answer of course is Yes! In Genesis 21:10, God said If he (man) marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. In 2 Samuel 12:8. God Himself said to David ,"...I gave you your master Wives,. if you need more, I would have given you"

GEAR 6
What is the fate of the polygamous children? Condemned or
Favoured?
Why was Joseph, Samuel, Solomon.... Highly favoured?

GEAR 7
Before religion there was marriage.
Gen 1:26-28, Gen 2:18-25

The issue of Monogamy was purely the tradition of the western world whom were our religious colonial masters. In the land of the White, traditionally, rivalry is a taboo. But the Jews (Israelites) and the Edomites (the blacks) shares the same tradition. A widow is not allowed to be seen in the Street, but be remarried to their husbands relatives or friends, Gen 38.

GEAR 8
Why do Christians and the west now condemn the act of POLYGAMY?
The new testament may completely be the reason as it has responded almost seamlessly on POLYGAMY matters. The new testament talks about every aspect of Christian living except POLYGAMY. Mathew 19:3-9, Jesus spoke about God initial plan for man. He actually condemned divorce but did not mention POLYGAMY. Paul admonishment to Timothy on the act and how to elect Church leadership, just like the case of levites of old (Moses...), 1 Timothy 3. The point of contention here is, If there were no men with more than a wife in the Church, Paul Won't have mentioned it. Also in 1 Corinthians 7:39.

GEAR 9
Effects of POLYGAMY:
POLYGAMY has it merits and demerits in the society and Christiandom at large.

1). In the Society, the imMortality rate is high in the female folks compared to men. The number of girls birth rate is higher than that of men, and the number of men dead rate is higher than that of women. The number of widows keep increasing geometry adding up to the number of single women in the society.
This leads to increase of infidelity, adultery, fornication in the society compared to the days of our forefathers. So pathetic nowadays to see young single girls fighting with widows and women old to be their mum for the ownerships of a guy.

2). MONOGAMY has caused reduction in the population in the Christiandom. God says in Gen 1:28 'God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground'. But what do we have today? Christians going into family planning. The Israelites lived 430yrs only in Egypt, but Pharaoh became scared because of their rapid growth in population. I can't imagine that would happen if they were practicing Family planning Monogamy

3). There's increase in population of the youth. Very soon Our children, particularly daughters (that we are trying to protect today) will be used as sex slaves because monogamy would have denied them an opportunity to marry.
C.) There are millions of stranded women in the South and, may not likely get an husband forever because of argument against polygamy; whereas hardly can a women be stranded in the North; thanks to polygamy..

GEAR 10
Has God Changed?
God of Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, .....the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the beginning and the end, the Alfa and Omega, He is the same yesterday, today and for ever; has not changed.

CONCLUSION
What is the way out?
Christians don't be "Paul when he was Saul'

Pastors, be careful what you preach on the pulpit about POLYGAMY as what you preach, instead of becoming light, rather, it is destroying Christianity

Hosea 4:6, 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.

"Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

May the lord add blessing to this teaching... AMEN

God bless you for these exposition , very accurate and concise . Many of us just take one verse especially in the new testament and hold unto it .
Religion has modified our way of thinking, changed it completely, some churches don't even know that traditional engagement is one commanded by God. If you do not do white or so called church wedding they look at you as an outcast.

Even one na wahala if you no get money

From all I’ve read I can say women are like commodities
Men are expected to buy as many as he wants

That’s why Islam is logical, the only true religion. Stop being in a confused state

Polygamy is not sin..

Who's teaching you all people these things??

Is that how much you people do not fear God? He said "I made them male and female".

You who He created are now changing His Law like Sodom and Gomorrah? You people love death indeed.

Original plan of marriage is one man, one woman

Righteousness2, when are you taking your second wife?

What a great insult

So God wasn't aware of the future for polygamy not to have be in His plan?

Why do you people always insult God

Antiochus:
Polygamy wasn't God's plan from the beginning. God gave a wife to Adam not wives it was sin that brought in Polygamy.

Genesis 2:24
[24]Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

They shall become one and not two or three or five so polygamy is against God's plan for man.

Iiar.
You're only avoiding the question because you are also confused, you have no answer to it.

Antiochus:
I would have answered this question but you are the type that always spite and debase christianity.

You won't see righteousness2 on this type of thread.
He's not ready to accept whatever the scripture said that interjects his own historical fallacies

TheNiceGuy:
Righteousness2, when are you taking your second wife?

phemmyfour:

Devils never listen and they even love disobeying Him. And the worst part is always how they compell and push for others to join them in their death.

LilMissFavvy:
Each of the biblical men had their own weaknesses and made their own mistakes because no man is perfect. It is left for us to learn from such mistakes rather than do same. 2nd Timothy 3:16.

Bible says a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and in the beginning, God showed the clear example when he gave Adam one wife, "Eve".

As far as I'm concerned, polygamy is as a result of lack of self control or contentment. Polygamy is "lust". Though some went into polygamy due to childlessness.

Many of the things you wrote sound very pathetic, you seem to forget that Bible never said that marriage is compulsory. Is it the same marriage that many are divorcing...huh!

Because God did not make any Law for polygamy.

That Muslim devil is trying to twist the Judgment God gave, as a Just Judge Must Do, to an innocent and lawful wife who has received evil and wickedness from her devil of a husband because he is an evil and a disobedient Bastard.

"Ibi jus ibi remedium"

And God already knows you people are disobedient, so He gave us The Judgements of His Courts in Advance

Which is why God Said "these are my judgements".

And that is why man is in great Trouble on Judgement Day for it is a case of "did you not see The Judgements of this Court which I gave even before you came to my Court"?

You are a devil and agent of Satan for trying to get people to disobey God. Polygamy is a sin.

If it was not a sin you would not even be saying that it is not a sin.

It is always the sin things which you devils come out to say "it is not a sin"

Hell means grave. Hell fire refers to lake of Fire where hell (grave) and death is thrown into.

Christ Said "male and female created He them" not male and females or males and female or males and females.

Polygamy is not a sin.

God made man in his own image. That verse has been used to mean women as well.

In your mind your judgement is right. So the judgement of the goose should not be given to the gander? Then you wonder why Christ did not agree with the men to stone the adulterous women because a woman commits adultery by herself alone.

You people are devils indeed.
