Padipadi: "Be ye holy in all manner of conversation" says apostle Paul in Corinthians. Your write-up is filled with unholiness. I doubt your Christianity. |

Eyinju112: What has mosaic law got to do with any of this? And you all make a very big mistake with the whole idea of ''it is in the okd testament, so it does not apply to you'', without even asking how and when yoh should put on that thinking cap. And yes, there is a place in the New testament where it is indicated that among the christians during the time of the apostles, there were those who had more than on wife. 1 Timothy 3 vs 2-5, Paul said a bishop shall be the husband of one wife. This goes to show that there were people among them who were married to more than one wife. and there is also nothing in the entire bible that shows that Paul was showing disapproval of polygamy in that passage. |

AntiChristian: You are very confused. So in your wisdom all you could conclude is that Jesus subscribes to polygamy because he gave a parable with 10 virgins. Where in the parable alludes to the fact that these 10 virgins were married to Jesus I shouldn't even be stressing. Your moniker says it all. |

PythonTutorials: Did you care to read about his dysfunctional family? That's the trend among your polygamous bible heroes. As many of them who "enjoyed" more than one wife lacked peace in their homes. Maybe you need God to read your Bible for you, so that you can observe that. Not as if the ten commandments He stated or condemned with any laws, you are a devoted keeper of them. Keep looking for condemnation of marrying so many wives while the result is right there. The average Christian man and his desire for sex all over the place is disgusting. |

AntiChristian: Please this parable has nothing to do with polygamy my friend. C'mon y'all should understand that the Bible is written by men inspired by the Holy spirit so who must read the Bible and understand it must do so in Spirit and truth. The parable was used to teach readiness and preparedness. The 10 virgin in the parable were just attendants of the wedding which already had a bride and a groom. This teachings from just anybody from anywhere is the major problem with Christianity today |

theamazonguru: As in, I laughed hard when I saw it, damn! He might even be a graduate yet can't understand a simple parable. The 10 virgins had nothing to do with the bride and the groom of the occasion so where did the idea of polygamy in this case emanate from? |

Eyinju112: No, not at all! I'm from an Anglican family but I'm into pentecostal. I don't understand how and why people just lift a verse from the bible and give it their own meaning completely different from what the text is all about. |

MiddleDimension:He also gave Isrelites Kings, that wasn't his original plan. These are referred to as PERMISSIBLE will 1st Sam 8 They said to him, "You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead [1] us, such as all the other nations have." 6 But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. 7 And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king 1 Like |

Daystar7: Honestly some of this online trolls make me stay quiet most times. Their reasoning is wack, the logic behind their thought pattern is shaky, arguing with them brings you so low to their level. So it's just best to keep mum and watch them display their ignorance In full glare of the public. 1 Like |

sotall: if it wasnt for the bible youd still be a slave. the idea that all men are equal , which inspired the freedom movement was straight out of the bible. and lastly , those who fought for abolishment of slavery in UK were strong christians, famous among them was William Wilberforce, a Reverend. |

See What The Bible Says About More than One Wife And One Husband. (That is One Husband Multiple Wives). See Exodus 21:10 (read from 9 - 11). Exodus 21:10 "If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish". KJV. "If the man marries another woman, he must not forget the first woman. He must continue to give her food and clothes. He must be kind to her because she is still his wife". EasyEnglish Version. What about all these verses? Genesis 4:19 Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah. Genesis 16:1-3 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife had borne him no children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar. So Sarai said to Abram, “Now behold, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. After Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. Genesis 26:34 When Esau was forty years old he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite; And many more. Why did God allowed all these if polygamy is not a design/plan of God? Or where do you place "Isaiah 4:1". The time is already here now. Please note, monogamy is of the Romans & British. They brought it into Christianity. Do your findings on this. |
