Some
people
are
confused
because
they
don't
understand
their
creator
not
to
talk
of
their
religious
books.
During
ADAM's
era,
it's
only
EVE
who
was
present
with
Adam
as
humanbeings.
(i
challenge
the
writer
to
mention
other
women
who
were
existing
with
Adam
then).
what
happened
to
DAVID,
SOLOMON
Who
have
access
to
many
women?
are
david,
solomon,
etc
not
men
of
God? |

Mercisharelove: Delete all those junk you posted and paste these verse Mark 10:11-12, 1 Corinthians 7:10-11,39. Romans 7:2-3. These verses prove to deniers/naysayers without doubt that Polygamy is unacceptable in the gospel. |

Danegun777:This is the result of ignorance. If you have ever read the bible you will realise the israelites did not journey everyday for 40 years as you erroneously assumed. Instead, they were delayed in the wilderness until the generation that murmured against God were all wiped away. Ignorance is a disease |

AntiChristian:What about Muhammad the pervert prophet? Was his own holy spirit or evil spirit |
Re: See What The Bible Said About One Wife And One Husband by Kukutente23: 4:30pm On Oct 22, 2023 |
AntiChristian:Ok. If God was against divorce and your Muhammad was busy divorcing women and replacing them with another while encouraging his followers to do same (He even got his adopted son to divorce his wife who was Muhammad's cousin so Muhammad could marry her), does it mean Muhammad was doing what is against God's will and is thus a servant of sin and Satan? |
Re: See What The Bible Said About One Wife And One Husband by Kukutente23: 4:33pm On Oct 22, 2023 |
AntiChristian: Ok. God is against taking another man's wife. How do we reconcile that with Muhammad who took his adopted son's wife? |

phemmyfour: Him giving David his wives is not in the same sense he gave them kings. The man is the figure of God in a christian marriage. He can have more than one wife since God can have more than one individual as his bride. You, @Phemmyfour, are God's wife, if you are a born-again, and Oyedepo, Adeboye, etc, are also God's brides, if they are born-agains. Your describes himself as the husband of two wives. In Jeremiah 31: 31-32, it says He is the husband of Samaria and Judah. Hoe about that? So, you can now see and agree that God did not give David his wives the same way he gave them kings. I understand we are all ignorant with most of the things that exist so, I can forgive your ignorance on this issue and using an example that has nothing to do with the topic. |

Eyinju112: No, the reason Paul said that is not to condemn polygamy. How do I know this, I know this when I read 1 Cor 7: 32. It says: "I would 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. This is why he told Timothy that a bishop should have only one wife. He did not do that because he thinks polygamy is anti god. |

Eyinju112: Here is my response to the CJstarz on this very issue. Read it because you are going to benefit from it. 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 @Dtruthspeaker and @Vdestro, 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. 1 Like |

lunacol: God's template and model remains one man,one wife. It ain't as though he condemns whoever marries more than one wife.. Whoever feels he can take adequate and good care of more than one wife is free to do so but such cannot serve as God's minister in any capacity as stated by the verse you quoted. |
