AntiChristian: You're moniker is Antichristian yet you're telling me that you know more than what's written in my bible... God save me from humans cos what's this? Where did your many brides come from? Why are you shameless. A bride and a groom and they had nothing to do with the 10 virgins. |

AfonjaConehead: There is still non evidence for this. In fact, the only evidence there is suggest that there is no "God's model" for marriage. If you are going to refer to the passage in the new testament where Jesus said "... in the beginning he made them male and female..." to mean that he only wants a man to have not have more than one wife, then I will refer you back to the context of that discussion and show you that he was actually talking about divorce. And if you still want to insist that he meant one man one woman, then I will tell you that you are implying that Jesus is ignorant that at the beginning it was not only adam and eve that were 'made'. Genesis chapter 4 "13And Cain said to the LORD, “This punishment is too hard for me to bear. 14You are driving me off the land and away from your presence. I will be a homeless wanderer on the earth, and anyone who finds me will kill me.” 15But the LORD answered, “No. If anyone kills you, seven lives will be taken in revenge.” So the LORD put a mark on Cain to warn anyone who met him not to kill him. 16And Cain went away from the LORD's presence and lived in a land called “Wandering,” which is east of Eden. Going by your idea that jesus meant god made Adam and Eve at the beginning, then there should only be three people in the entire world now since Cain killed Abel. But no, when judgement was pronounced on him, he said if anyone finds him, they will kill him. So, who were the other people he was talking about when he said that? And your god did not even dismiss his idea that there are other people out there. Instead he confirmed it by saying if anyone kills Cain, seven lives will be taking in revenge. So, your god knows it was not Adam and Eve he 'made' therefore, Jesus' response to his apostles there cannot and should not be taken the way you all take it. Can't you see that every argument you all bring up is being debunked left, right and centre? this certainly shows you are in the wrong here. Admit it and let this discussion end already! in vs 17 of the same chapter, it says "Cain and his wife [/b]had a son and named him Enoch. [b]Then Cain built a city and named it after his son First of all, the bible says Cain had a wife. So, I am going to ask, where did he see the wife to marry, I thought until now, they were only three in the world now since he had killed his brother. Someone says Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters. And yes, there is evidence for it in the bible. Genesis chapter 5 vs 4 says he had other sons and daughters. But that's after cain and abel issue, not before or during the time when Abel was alive. Any one who disputes this has the responsibility to show us beyond any reasonable or theological doubt that what he says is true. The "he made them male and female" jesus said is only indicating that God made 2 genders, male and female. |

Daystar7: even if he is "antichrist" literally, it doesn't mean he cannot know better than you. Your bible says "whom shall I teach knowledge, whom shall I make to understand doctrine? by means of other tongues, I will teach these people." Isaiah chapter 28 vs 11. when Balaam the prophet erred in doctrine and stumbled in judgement, he had to be taught by his donkey. many examples of the gentiles teaching the chosen people abound in the bible. 1 Like |

SIRTee15: It does not negate the fact that a man can have more than one man. In christian marriage, the man's marriage to all his wives is on individual bases. Just as your god is married to you, if you are a born again, and is also married to Pope Francis, Oyakhilome, Adeboye, Oyedepo, et al at the same time. In christian marriage, the man is the figure of God, while the woman is the figure of the church, the individual christian etc. How do I know this? LET ME SHOW YOU! "I am jealous for you, just as God is; you are like a pure virgin whom I have promised in marriage to one man only, Christ himself. 2 Cor 11 vs 2. This is prove that when one gives his life to christ, he is married to christ. Christ is the groom and you the bride. For that reason, when he is your groom, he can simultaneously be the groom of another christian simultaneously. When you married him, you became one with him whole and entire even though before you became born again, he already had other brides in the Pope, Oyakhilome, Oyedepo and Adeboye since they accepted Jesus before you by the virtue of being older than you. |

Daystar7: If he could use a donkey to teach his 'elect', is it an "antichrist" he won't use? He died for the "antichrist". not for the donkey. That's why he said a sinner is worth more than billions of donkeys. Luke 12 vs 1-7 |

cedricksly: Polygamy was never God's original plan my friend. It was permitted by God in man's fallen state and when his insatiable greed overwhelmed him. But God never intended polygamy for man. If u want to know God's plan for man, either check the garden of Eden or the divine law brought by Jesus. Show me which one of them sanctions polygamy. Only God knows what they teach in church nowadays. So many ignorant Christians walking around blindly. That Europeans sanction homosexualism doesn't change the fact it's a sin. I don't follow whites, I follow Jesus Christ. |

MiddleDimension: The oneness in spirit is very clear. The CHURCH not churches is ONE with Christ. There's only one church. Christ established only one church not churches. When u give your life to Christ, u become a member of that ONE CHURCH joined to Christ. So it's two becoming one. Is it clear now? Now explain how 2 become 1 as stated in the Jesus Christ can accommodate a 3rd party. |
Re: See What The Bible Said About One Wife And One Husband by MiddleDimension: 7:48pm On Oct 22, 2023 |
SIRTee15: No, it does not work that way! Paul said "I am jealous for you, just as God is; you are like a pure virgin whom I have promised in marriage to one man only, Christ himself..2 Cor 11 vs 2. this goes to prove that you, the individual christian is married to jesus when he accepted him as his lord and savior and that from then on, he has a personal relationship with him despite the fact jesus may already be married, so to speak, to other people who have accepted him as their lord and saviour. Yet, when we speak of you being joined together with jesus, we speak of it in personal terms. So also, when we speak of the man being joined to any of his wives, it is a one on one thing. This is the mystery of Christian marriage, that the man is the figure of god and just as god can have several people being his wives by the virtue of accepting jesus as their lord and saviour, so also can the man have more than one wife. I am not the one who made all these up. your bible did; and if any born agaon does not know this, then he is still a baby in divine knowledge! 1 Like |

SIRTee15: I can see you are still a baby in the lord with this understanding of yours. But no, in that passage, Paul was not refering to the church as an institution. He was refering to the individual christian. How do I know this is the case? Let me show you! when you read further into vs 3, it says: "I am afraid that your minds will be corrupted and that you will abandon your full and pure devotion to Christ—in the same way that Eve was deceived by the snake's clever lies. noticed he used the word "minds", that is plural. If he were refering to the church as an instoitution, he would not have used the word "minds", he would have used the singular "mind". but no, because he was refering to the individual christian is the reason he used the plural "minds". The christian who does not understand that the reason the church is refered to as the bride of christ is first of all because the individuals who make up the institution called church as the brides of jesus, is nothing but a baby christian whose understanding of the deep things of god is very shallow, I do not care which title the person bears. 2 Cor 11 vs 3 |

MiddleDimension: This your exegesis is your personal opinion and at best an heresy. So Jesus will be married to many Christians as possible individually. When will these marriage take place, who will coordinate the union. How will new Christians arrange their own individual wedding with Christ. In what way is this union conducted in physically. My friend Christ is married to the church as the bridegroom and head of the church. It's an eternal union established once and for all. There are no repeated weddings for any other person. because there's only ONE CHURCH A wedding is conducted with a body only once not multiple times. When u give your life to Christ, u become a member of the church; and this establish your eternal union and oneness with Christ. For just as in one body we have many members, but all the members do not have the same function, in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually members belong to all the others Romans 12:4–5 |

MiddleDimension: Maybe u should be the one to avoid opening doors to legion of demons into your life by your blatant and ignorant heresy. Fake Christian. If u are a pastor, I will advise u to humbly remove your cleric garment and look for a day job to feed yourself. because u are obviously misleading your church members and God has promised to punish harshly people like u who mislead his sheep. |

Bluezy13: The fact that 2 or more people do the same thing doesn't make it right. God who instituted marriage said 1man 1wife For some reason unsatisfied men pack more join body. It's a sin going against the direction God gave, although God might have a reason for allowing them do their wishes, But for a fact, majority of them taking more than one wife always end up badly as a result of the the wives misleading them. |
