I’m not under the mosaic law, the Israelites were. Jesus has come to redeem me, I am his follower. So quote me verses starting from mattew to revelation where God supports two wives

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.

Point 1
Jesus used a parable that includes polygamy

"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. ...While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; ...And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage:" Matthew 25:1-2,5-6c,10a-c (See verses 1-13).

It should be noted, however, that this is not a literal, physical marriage to literal, physical women. While it was only a parable, even so, Jesus would never have described Himself this way in a parable if polygamy was a sin.

If polygamy was sinful I think Jesus would never have used it in his parable. Note one man vs many women as wives.

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.

But why did God not condemn David for marrying so many wives 🤔

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.

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

How did Adam populate your fantasy Isreal story garden of Eden to populate the world

Isreali Jews are very weird people, with their ridiculous tales of lies

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

He did not 'overlook' polygamy, do not tell lies!

Your bible says all liars are of their father the devil! John 8:44.

If truly he just permitted, why then did he say he GAVE DAVID HIS MASTER'S WIVES... 2Samuel 12:8.

God also described himself as the husband of two wives in Jeremiah chapter 31 vs 31-32. Go have a look!
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

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.

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.

AntiChristian:
Point 5

One flesh!

"ONE FLESH"
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2:24, referenced in Matthew 19:5,6, Mark 10:8, 1 Corinthians 6:16, Ephesians 5:31

A man is "one flesh" with EACH woman with whom he copulates, whether in marriage (wife) or in fornication (harlot). When a married man, who is therefore already "one flesh" with his wife, copulates with another woman, that does not then negate his being "one flesh" with the wife. This is evident by the fact that 1 Corinthians 6:16 reveals that a man can be "one flesh" even with an harlot. As even a married man, therefore, can become "one flesh" with an harlot, that proves that a married man can indeed be "one flesh" with more than one woman, without negating his being "one flesh" with his wife. As that is so even with a married man with an harlot, it is thus just as equally true regarding a man being "one flesh" with more than one wife. For further proof, the very next verse provides the context of the plural-to-one aspect, i.e., 1 Corinthians 6:17: "But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit." As EACH Christian is joined as "one spirit" with the Lord, that then demonstrates the context of the plural-to-one aspect. Namely, as EACH Christian is joined as "one spirit" with the Lord, so too may EACH woman be joined as "one flesh" with one man. Lastly, when the Lord Jesus, in Matthew 19:5,6 and Mark 10:8, was re-quoting that original "one flesh" verse of Genesis 2:24, He was only dealing with the issue of divorce, saying, "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Matthew 19:6c-d.) That was opposing divorce of God-joined marriages, of what God Himself had joined together as "one flesh".

For context, it is exegetically important to note that the "one flesh" verse itself of Genesis 2:24, which the Lord Jesus was re-quoting, was written by Moses. And Moses married (was "one flesh" with) two wives: Zipporah (Exodus 2:16-21 and 18:1-6) and the Ethiopian woman (Numbers 12:1). The term, "one flesh", could not otherwise allegedly mean that a man could not be "one flesh" with more than one woman because three things did indeed happen. 1) Moses did marry two wives. 2) Moses did author such other verses as Exodus 21:10 and Deuteronomy 21:15. 3) Jesus Christ did not speak against Moses' being "one flesh" with two wives. Hence, the Scriptures reveal that Jesus and Moses knew what "one flesh" meant when Moses authored Genesis 2:24: a man may be "one flesh" with more than one woman.

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!

Ladies fly...Proverbs 31:29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Lies, David married many women and God was happy,
So follow any part of the Bible that suits u
