BadBradley:
same way Saint Paul told Christians " if you marry you have not sinned but those who marry will suffer"? Was he encouraging people to not get married?

Una go just sit one place turn bible upside down
That is exactly what the goal of Christianity is, with its over 47,000 interpretations cum denominations/sects. undecided

Modern men style of polygamy differs, they want a woman who can take care of herself so he can go ahead and marry another one with the peanut he's contributing at home. This is what Yul Edochie wanted to do to his breadwinner wife (as confirmed by Yul's father Pete Edochie) .

How can a woman be responsible for more than 85% of the success of the home and you dare want to add another wife and make her fund your polygamous life? Yul hit head for ground sha.


In Essence, if a man is responsible for 85% percent success of his home as a breadwinner then he has every moral justification to be polygamous?

The truth of the matter is that women don't like polygamy because they think that the resources they are supposed to enjoy alone is being shared with another woman.

They don't actually care about the man because they are incapable of loving a man, they only care about what he provides and they don't want to share a man's provision.

Monogamy is the tradition of the whites, it's not biblical

Did the bible bringdown a holy people?

Is it not that God took a sinfilled and sinloving and polygamous people from among the sin loving and sin filled peoples of the world and tried to clean them up and work with them, hence the bibles ordinances?

This Three bible verses below demands that only the bishops, deacons be husband of one wife....that is, you can have more than one wife as long as you don't aspire this posts.


Although, it is advisable to have only one wife to reduce the stress of taking care of them which come with a lot of responsibilities.

The bible have not once condemned the idea of having two wives or more but it encourages we have our own wife to avoid furnication.

what the bible/God word always disagreed/hate is divorce, furnication and adultery.

Check this out
1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1 Timothy 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

APOSTLECHUMA:
GOD IS INFINITE AND DOESNT ACQUIRE NEW KNOWLEDGE, NEITHER DOES HE CHANGE HIS ORDER OF DOING THINGS. WHEN HE CREATED THE FIRST MAN, HE ONLY MADE ONE WIFE FOR HIM, NOT TWO. AFTER THE FALL IN EDEN HOWEVER, EVERY THING WAS SHATTERED, WITH NOTHING REMAINING IN THE ORIGINAL ORDER IT WAS MADE, WITH MARRIAGE INCLUSIVE. POLYGAMY WAS PERMISSIVELY INTRODUCED JUST LIKE DIVORCE BUT NONE WAS GOD'S PERFECT WILL. WITH THE COMING OF CHRIST, EVERYTHING WAS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL ORDER INCLUDING MARRIAGE AND EVEN DIVORCE, WHICH WAS INTRODUCED BY MOSES OUT OF THE HARDNESS OF THE PEOPLES HEARTS, WAS ABOLISHED. THE ONLY CONDITION PERMITTED BY CHRIST UNDER WHICH A MAN CAN PUT AWAY HIS WIFE, IS FOR FORNICATION, NOT ADULTERY. WHEN JESUS PREACHED THIS IN MATTHEW 19, THE JEWS REPLIED HIM THAT IF THAT BE SO, THAT THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A MAN TO MARRY. THE REASON WAS THAT THEY WERE NOT READY TO FORGIVE THEIR WIVES BECAUSE WHAT CHRIST PREACHED, MEANT THAT FOR ADULTERY, THEY HAD NO BIBLE RIGHT TO DIVORCE THEIR WIVES AND THAT IS TRUE UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. A MAN CAN ONLY DIVORCE HIS WIVE, BASED ON FORNICATION AND WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT IF A WOMAN HAD LIVED A NASTY LIFE BEFORE MARRIAGE AND LATER GOT MARRIED BY DECEIVING HER HUSBAND THAT SHE WAS STILL A VIRGIN, THAT THE MAN SHOULD PUT HER AWAY, AFTER DISCOVERING THAT AFTER THEIR MARRIAGE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE MARRIAGE WAS BASED ON FALSEHOOD AS EVERY MAN IN GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN IS SUPPOSED TO MARRY A VIRGIN. OUTSIDE THIS, FOR ADULTERY, A MAN IS EXPECTED TO FORGIVE HIS WIFE, JUST THE WAY GOD FORGIVES US OUR MANY SINS DAILY. THIS WAS WHY CHRIST PREACHED FORGIVENESS 70 TIMES 70 A DAY BEFORE PREACHING ON MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TEACHINGS IN THE BIBLE AND NOT ALL WILL ACCEPT IT, JUST LIKE THOSE JEWS IN MATTHEW 19. IF ONE DIVORCES HIS WIFE FOR ADULTERY, HE HAS NO BIBLE RIGHT TO REMARRY, HE CAN ONLY STAY SINGLE OR GET RECONCILED WITH HER. EMAIL cfountainoftruth@yahoo.com FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

Thank you for your explanation. But I have a question.
If God does change his plan like you said, he created one man and one woman, and through that man and woman, they multiplied by given birth. It also means their children got married or sleep with each other to multiply and we have the world population. If siblings marry or sleeps with each other, that is incest and is that not a sin? Does God approves such sin?

Leviticus 18 answers you that if it was not clear whether it is a sin or not before, God has now changed it and made it a sin very clearly.

1. God's PERFECT WILL IS MONOGAMY as established in the garden of Eden.

2. Polygamy entered after sin entered the world.

3. Before the law Abraham (the Friend of God), Jacob (Israel), etc were polygamists.

4. After the law came polygamy continued. David and Solomon were polygamists.

5. Jesus' discussion with the religious hypocrites, the Pharisees, was about divorce not polygamy and Jesus told them that DIVORCE IS NOT THE PERFECT WILL of God! ....

6. CHRISTIANITY RESTORED GOD'S PERFECT WILL FOR MONOGAMY because Jesus is symbolically the "husband" of "one wife", His "Bride", "Body", "Church".

7. If UNMARRIED BEFORE BECOMING A CHRISTIAN you MUST MARRY ONLY ONE WIFE who MUST be a Christian.

8. If ALREADY MARRIED BEFORE BECOMING A CHRISTIAN you don't need to divorce your UNBELIEVING wife / wives . You should encourage her / them to give her / their own life / lives to Christ. HOWEVER, if she decides to leave you, you can't force her to stay...

9. MARRIAGE or SEX OUTSIDE a MONOGAMOUS Christian marriage is SIN of ADULTERY.

10. POLYGAMISTS BEFORE BECOMING CHRISTIANS are welcome. It is up to each wife to personally give her life to Christ just as applied to number 8 above.

11. The POLYGAMIST IN CHURCH however SHOULD NOT be GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY for official SPIRITUAL OVERSIGHT so that no precedent is laid (Sebi brother Lagbaja niyawo meji! 😞)

12. In essence GOD ISN'T BOTHERED ABOUT POLYGAMY OUTSIDE CHRISTIANITY. What HE WON'T ACCEPT is WANTING to BECOME a POLYGAMIST AFTER you HAVE BECOME BORN AGAIN & MARRIED the CHRISTIAN WAY!

This is a summary on the discussion. Anything outside this is man made. This is Bible's non-denominational position. No one needs to accept it.

If the bible is clear on it being one wife one husband prove it with superior argument don't hide from it, after all you are doing the work of God whether you know it or not.
