Exodus 21: 10 na devil talk am?

The scripture comfirm one male and one female relationship!

Not one male, more females as wives, no, not so from the beginning. How do you know?


Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

The man is the specie, the male and female! The spirit being, the creature of ELOHIM, THE CREATOR!

A man isn't a boy, no, it's the combination of male and female.


2:24 Therefore shall *(a) not two or more)* man leave his, not their) father and his mother, not their mothers), and shall cleave unto his *(wife) not wives* : and they shall be *one flesh, not many flesh, but one.* Pure spiritual! Follow the truth!

His rib, his wife and they shall be one flesh. Now if you want to relate physically, I am talking about marriage, romantic relationship, living together.

So, stop hurting yourself, be free, pray you meet the man you can meet their needs.

You know the female is like God, like THE HOLY SPIRIT, she has and is built to display all the attributes of GOD ALMIGHTIEST, the help meet for him, the man is greatly help, the same way Isaac was comforted, when Rebekah arrived, that's what THE CREATOR , GOD ALMIGHTIEST SAID before unveiling the most beautiful of HIS creations, while Adam was deep asleep, yet Adam was aware, through revelation that she was taken from the bones of his bones and flesh of his flesh, he said "she shall be called a woman", because she was taken from a man that THE LORD HAD CREATED AND MADE!

And here is the bible passage to back up what you have said:

''32 Iwould like you to be free from worry. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord's work, because he is trying to please the Lord. 33 But a married man concerns himself with worldly matters, because he wants to please his wife; 34 and so he is pulled in two directions. An unmarried woman or a virgin concerns herself with the Lord's work, because she wants to be dedicated both in body and spirit; but a married woman concerns herself with worldly matters, because she wants to please her husband.'' 1Cor 7 vs 32-34.

So, you were right when you said Paul gave that advice so that they can concentrate on their work in the vineyard. He does not want them to be pulled in two directions, like he said in the bolded. But those, like @Truthspeaker, who want to remain ignorant, will ignore this and instead keep believing the lies he was told by those who know nothing about the authentic christian teachings, or the mind of God concerning the matter.

For Paul, marriage comes with a lot of headache; those who are married today can confirm this as well. That's why he said in vs 28 of the same chapter that he would ''rather spare you the everyday troubles that married people will have''

Anyone who says Paul telling pastors and bishops in 1 Timothy 3:2 that they should marry only one wife means he is condemning polygamy, is a big-fat liar! We have seen from the passage I quoted, which you also alluded to in your post that I am quoting that the reason Paul said that, was because he thinks marriage has alot of challenges which could distract one from the Opeus Dei, the work of god.

Now, we all know from his letters, that Paul is someone who is fanatical about evangelism and working in the lord's vineyard which is why he decided not to get married so that he won't have any excuse or distraction. He said ''of all the apostles, I work the hardest!'' 1Cor 15:10. To underline how much he is willing to put in to save every soul on earth, he said: ''Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.'' 1 Cor 9 vs 19. In vs 22-23 he said: ''I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Now the Paul that said what I quoted above, does anyone think even after telling the bishops in Timothy 3:2 that they should marry only one wife; think that same Paul will see someone who is married to more than one wife doing the work of a family man incredibly well, and also works in the vineyard and does the job even better than the so-called singles or 1 wife-men, do you think that same Paul will object to such a man holding the position of a bishop? You think Paul cares about anything else but the work of god? was he not the one who, when he was told he is not one of the original disciple of Jesus hence cannot be regarded as an apostle, told them that but he works the hardest among all the apostles and by so doing, he became an apostle ny the grace of god? 1 Cor 15:10.

This submission is very apt; how many ribs does a man have if I may ask?

I don’t argue anything biblical online. Because many just read some parts and judge with it, they don’t read deep and see what had transpired or will transpire before a certain quote was made. If only Christians can believe that we ain’t under the mosaic law. The mosaic law is the Old Testament, when jesus came, there were things he put straight and as Christians we are the followers of Jesus Christ. The New Testament is where jesus footstep is and that is what all Christians should follow. The account of 1 Corinthians chapter 7 states that polygamy is unlawful; and that one man is to have but one wife, and to keep to her; and that one woman is to have but one husband, and to keep to him and the wife only has a power over the husband's body, a right to it, and may claim the use of it and so as the man only has power to his woman’s body.

Eyinju112:
I don’t believe bad people go to hell. And yes a man who marries two wives is seen as a fornicator in the eyes of God because to him the second wife is invalid. Either he takes good care of her or not, that’s his decision and choice. He is fornicating , And fornication is among the 10 command God gave. Thou shall not fornicate.

Sorry but this is bullshiiit. A woman you married legally through customs is still fornication to you? Then all muslims are fornicators and would go to hell then.

You see how religion twists you up and makes you look a bit messed up? How can a benevolent God send you to hell for MARRYING two women and taking good care of them? Makes no sense!!! All the great men in the Bible are fornicators then and are now yelling in pain in hell abi? Lol.

Madam, wake dafuq up and remove the religious wool covering your mind. There is no God who will punish any man for marrying many women. It makes no absolute sense. That you even equate marrying two women legally to fornicating, tells me you know nothing about God...just that you don't want your husband to marry a second wife...which is jealousy or envy.

Bluezy13:

Wisdom is profitable to direct according to your bible, so it is unwise...no, it is foolishness, in short it is a curse to say that which the Bible did not as it is written that you shall not add nor remove.

So my friend, where in the Bible is it written that "two wives, two troubles"

If the Bible didn't say it, then you are cursed for your foolishness.

He is God. I am not God. He said fornicators will not enter into his kingdom. Even in law, law doesn’t permit two wives, our Nigerian law says you must divorce one before you can marry the other. So if you like carry cow and dowries to 9 women houses after your legal wife na nonsense you still do. God doesn’t regard those, you’re still fornicating. I’m not forcing you to accept what I’ve said, they are bull shit to you, you can disregard it and don’t mention me hence. T for thanks

I am a Jehovah’s Witness and there is nothing like being logical in our dictionary, we follow what the Bible says strictly. Read 1 Corinthians 7 and you’d understand where he said one man, one woman. Not one man two women. And what happen when you disregard God’s word? It means you’ve sinned.

Ask anyone who did court marriage, that is the only marriage that is recognized in the whole world wide, part of the rules and regulations are don’t marry two wives, if you want to, you must divorce the one you had first before you can be married to the other one by law. If he disobeys and marries another wife the wife has every right to sue him and his punishment is 5 years imprisonment make your research.

And about muslims, their religion allows two or more wives. I can’t condemn them because they are acting according to their holy book.

So Mr man if you want to marry 10 wives nobody is stopping you. When the day comes everyone will be judged according to the work of his hands. Everyone will pay for their sins.

[God never specifically said MARRYING TWO WOMEN IS A SIN. that is my point. Which Nigerian law na? Muslims no dey marry two women? Our forefathers that married multiple women are in hell abi?

I'm putting it to you that you are not still removing that religious fog clouding your mind. Be logical for God's sake!!! How humans claim to know God amuses me sha? Can't you see the illogicality in everything you have said?

Abeg, e don do...bye bye...I should have known trying to get a woman to be logical na impossibility.

lunacol:
Can you explain this...

The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach; no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
1 Timothy 3:2-5.

Does it mean if you are not a bishop,you can marry more than one wife?

They claim to migrate from Egypt to Palestinian land for 40years , 365 * 40 = 14,600 days to travel 600 killometers, they moved like snail covering 1km per month , 33 meters in one day

Lets look at the facts at least that's what they do in court the same court you just brought up.

2 Samuel 12:8 it says: ''and I gave thee thy master’s house and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.''

If God considers polygyny a sin, he would not have said of himselves that he is the husband of two women, Judea and Samaria.

he said it here: ''31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them (Judah and Samaria), saith the Lord''

You can pray to God to give you wisdom that is superior to the one I have displayed here so thay you can show from the merits of your arguements that you are correct and that I and all the others who say God is infact in support of polygyny and also blesses it, are wrong. And you can trust he will asnwer you! Because he said ''when you are confronted (like I am confronting you now), do not worry about what to say, for it will be given to you by the spirit of God...'' Matt 10:19; Mark 13:11

I would like to learn something new!

He also allow them to divorce. God called it permissible WILL. He overlooked their weaknesses and that is why today's Christians shouldn't use David or any of the Prophets as a standard. God himself already gave us a standard to follow
