I beg to disagree, what about the hundreds of VERSIONS of the Bible which abound today with substantial textual differences and some times complete verses missing/removed altogether. I can provide you with up to twenty chapters in the NRSV , RSV , NWT, NT _Anmerican Version to mention a few where certain verses in the KJV have been discarded because they were not found in the most ancient manuscripts older than those on which the KJV was based. Prominent verses that have been removed as being later day additions are Mark 16:9-20 which supposedly describe Jesus's ascension, 1st John 5:7 which is the cornerstone of the Trinity doctrine is a fabrication, your famous John 3:16 does not have the word BEGOTTEN in the original manuscript, Isiah 7:14 does not have the word VIRGIN even in the manuscripts that were translated, the word there in the Hebrew text is 'almah' which should be translated as a young woman and not "bethulah" which means VIRGIN. Go and check those versions of the Bible I have mentioned and you will confirm what I have said that there is not only ONE Bible. What about the conundrum of the fabricated genealogy of Jesus as given by Mark and Luke. For a man who has no biological father they invented a genealogy for him and even then they still both could not agree on whether he came from David via Nathan or Solomon and nalso with a staggering 15 generations difference between Mark and Luke's lists? I know some apologist would come out and say one was tracing through Joseph and the other through Mary, in that case where does Mary come up in the line of fabricated genealogy, because both ended with Joseph (unless they are saying Mary and Joseph are actually siblings) Kobojunkie:

Baatunde:You have peaked my interest! Care if we take these on one at a time then? I am very much interested in dissecting every problem you have there to understand what aspects have led you to conclude that the book itself is volatile and contradictory when in fact it is merely a compendium of books each written by different authors at different points in time. So, what do you say? Shall we create a different topic to dissect this? 2. About the Geneology of Jesus Christ, I don't believe there was in fact what you consider a fabrication. Remember that we are talking of a time when there were no fact-checking systems in place and no computers to catch errors. The writer of Matthew may have simply gotten his details from a source different from that which the writer of Luke had obtained his from. My guess is Joseph, long dead at the time the genealogy was written may not have been there to verify any of the claims obtained by the two sources. Also, when it comes to the matter of Jesus Christ's actual genealogy, it has to be traced from the line of his mother of course. Why? Because He was not born of an earthly father after all and the Law of Moses — by way of the benefit given to the daughters of Zelophedad— did allow for genealogy to be traced from the mother, even though Jewish tradition may have frowned greatly on it— I think it still does. But yeah, there is also the possibility that Mary and Joseph were related as you said. Additionally, the line that included Solomon was not valid at all because Solomon was disqualified by the God of Israel from fathering the King forever. So, any line that included the mention of Solomon could not be it. |

otipoju: Logic would have told you that that is The Law against embezzlement and i believe you saw that, but this is offpoint. Back to the issue, where was the king to come from? Is it from the sky or from the people? otipoju: Off point! You said "the only verse that backs one man, one wife came from Jesus," and i only pointed out that Paul restated it. EOStory. otipoju: .Same thing you should know. After 5 years of Law and Law school, we lawyers never stop reading and learning and proving Truths or Lies, whichever is in issue.. And remember, Paul is a lawyer, so i know all he has in mind because His Letters are a Lawyer's letters and not an ordinary layman's letter, which is why Peter warned laypeople to be careful of Paul's teachings for it is only a learned person who can accurately, tell you what it means. |

Barcalee:First of all, you failed to comprehend the message in my post. Again, You Christians are terrible people. The God of Israel put a seal on His Prophets and visions about 1900 Years ago - Daniel 9 vs 24 - at the close of His Last Days. You lot pretend you believe all that is declared in the book yet here you are insinuating the God of Israel lied and this man's father was in fact one of His prophets. Why are your minds this broken? Second, you are mistaken to conclude that because I am not a Christian, then I must be a Muslim. I am neither a Christian nor am I a Muslim. I am antireligion since Jesus Christ Himself was antireligion as well. Jesus Christ is famously known to have disavowed the religion that existed in His time — Judaism — beginning with its religious leaders and their doctrines which He proclaimed were antiChrist lies meant to deceive and delude the multitudes away from the Truth of God. Christianity as a religion is lifted as being modeled after the very religion disavowed meaning it too has nothing to do with Jesus Christ. Of course, no religion was granted an exemption by Jesus Christ, so no religion can claim legitimacy by His name. |

Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by Westerhoffe(m): 4:28pm On Apr 29 |
GOD did not in the Bible condemn a man for having more than one wife. If anyone has the verses where GOD does, please present it. Only, if you know you can't cater for or handle two wives, don't attempt it. Simple as that. |

Kobojunkie:My dear just rest, Moses was this and that. Did you know Moses committed murder in the Bible? |
Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by Kobojunkie: 6:43pm On Apr 29 |
cjudy:Yes, Moses did, but that doesn't change the fact that 40 years later, Moses not only found His way back into the graces of God but became a Holy and Righteous man, approved by God at that. So, are you a Holy and Righteous man approved by God that you should demand that which applied to Moses then? The standard laid down by the God of Israel from the beginning has always been Holiness and Righteousness. He does not give His attention to those who do not follow His Law at all. So, comparing yourselves to His prophets, Holy and RIghteous men, I have to ask if you yourselves are holy and righteous men approved by Him as well. |
Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by otipoju(m): 6:51pm On Apr 29 |
Veecruz: When David was condemned by God for killing Uriah...he was told that "I gave you you masters wives...if you wanted more, I would have given you." These were God's very own words via the mouth of Nathan his prophet. If God himself gave David multiple wives and was willing to give him more if he asked, how then would polygamy be a sin before him? Answer this question or just say nothing more. Paul was not a lawyer. Stop saying B.S. He learned the Torah under Gamaliel just like an aspiring Reverend today would learn the Old Testament scriptures. He was a tent maker by profession. Stop reading your own meaning into scripture passages. Let the passages speak for them selves. And who said Lawyers prove truth and lies? Don't make me laugh. A lot of you are the most dishonest bunch of human beings that were ever created. Most of you look for loop holes in events and arguments to create doubt and let the guilty go scotsfree and have little or no regard for the truth...as long as you get paid for twisting the truth. Who you want dey impress? |

cjudy:I am not the least bit interested in the polygamy debate mind you. I am more interested in understanding why and how men who disavow God's standard which is holiness and righteousness seem to think it makes sense to demand they have that they too must have that which was granted by God only to his prophets. |
Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by siant: 7:41pm On Apr 29 |
Kobojunkie:You want to play along in the display of ignorance? Where is knowledge in what you're saying? Anyway, that statement is just a sweet mouth and to make you appear knowledgeable. That's an epitomy of inferiority complex. I supported my submissions with relevant scriptural verses, yet you failed to provide single scriptural verse to back what you're saying. Your opinion is dismissed again. Like I said, the Bible is the last authority. Where did any prophet of old from David say Christ would be the last prophet? Are you saying you know better than the scriptures itself that refered to Agabus, as a prophet? Or should we dismiss that part of the scriptures? Please, quote it here, when Jesus said He was the last prophet? Jesus is the messiah. Not Elijah, not Moses , not even father Abraham. He was greater than any prophet that lived before and after Him. Those ones were mere prophets. Jesus was more than any prophet. And let me quickly add this, I am less concern about YWH you are shouting all about. That's the Hebrews name for a supreme being. Nothing stops me from referring to a supreme being as 'Olodumare' that's Yoruba name for Him. In Arabic Bible, He is called Allah, because that's the name the Arabs call the supreme being. He referred to Himself as El shadai, to Abraham. In Hebrews Bible, He is called Adonai in some places in Isaiah. Moses called Him YHW. So it it is not necessary for me to call Him YAWEH.. That's your own problem. |

Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by Kobojunkie: 7:53pm On Apr 29 |
siant:1. What you instead did was pull verses out of context to assert an idea that does not even comply with that which is stated in Scripture. There is a reason why Paul did not heed the warning given to him by the many prophets of his day including Agabus, something that would have been unheard of had it been they were indeed prophets anointed by the Almighty Himself like the prophets of Old. I am used to you folks. With one side of your mouth you claim your bible is authority yet with the other you accuse the one you call God of Lying! 2. To answer that question, you would have to go back through much of the Old Texts but no point since you will likely not even get it. So, let's focus on your claim regarding the person of Jesus Christ. ▶ But you still have not answered my question. Jesus Christ declared that John was the last Old Covenant prophet to come. Did Jesus Christ lie? YES OR NO! ▶ Jesus Christ equally said in Matthew 21 that He was the last prophet, so did Jesus Christ lie? YES OR NO! 3. Jesus Christ revealed it by way of the Parable, or should I say, a mod on the parable of the Vineyard owner from Isaiah 5 in Matthew 21 vs 33 -46. Jesus Christ first informed you that John was the Last of the Old Covenant Prophets — He described John as being less than the least in the Kingdom of God meaning John was indeed the last of those called by God of Old. Then Jesus Christ went on to condemn all who would come after Him as false Prophets and Teachers, beginning with the religious leaders of His time along with their doctrines and traditions. 4. Um... Again, saying Jesus Christ is more than a prophet does not reduce the magnitude of the lie you accuse Him of. Jesus Christ said He is indeed the last and He proclaimed that all others would come after Him particularly those who would use His name are false Prophets and false Teachers. So, what in the world are you on about? |

Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by siant: 8:31pm On Apr 29 |
Kobojunkie:Quoting out of context? When the Bible says ' there were prophets'. When the Bible named Agabus, 'A prophet '. It is you people that are fun of twisting the scriptures to suite the opinion of the originator of your evil sect. Quote it the way Jesus said he was the last of all prophets. Quote it the way Jesus put it that John was the last of all prophets of old. Even if He said John was the last prophet of old, does it mean there can never be prophets afterwards? Paul did not obey the instructions of Agabus, does it mean he did not regard Agabus as a prophet? The same Paul that said, 'he gave some to be apostle, some to be prophet '. Stop twisting the scriptures. God will judge you! |
Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by Kobojunkie: 9:01pm On Apr 29 |
siant:I had to drill down to this portion from all the news you were trying to make again. You still haven't answered the question at all. Why didn't Paul regard Agabus and the other prophets the same way he would have the Prophets of Old or even Jesus Christ? Why? There is a reason why Paul who did acknowledge that God had made some prophets in the last days, refused to heed the warnings of the same prophets. |
Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by drlateef: 9:17pm On Apr 29 |
Veecruz: In other words you imply that Jesus condemned polygamy practiced by prophets before him. Yet jesus said he had not come to condemn the laws and previous prophets. Your error is by universally applying a simple statement of behaviour, not polygamy. Polygamy is not a behaviour and in the context that Jesus used that sentence, he was not referring to polygamy. Your interpretation of that statement is faulty and wrong. |
Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by siant: 9:19pm On Apr 29 |
Kobojunkie:Here you are. You digress in a bit to cunningly looking for a way to escape from this. No way. Do you think you are conversing with an ignorant. Of all the questions thrown to you , you fail to explain any, instead you keep babbling. According to you, Paul did not heed to Agabus, simply because he was not a prophet like the prophets of old? The same Agabus who predicted there would be famine, and the whole church heeded to the warning, before the prediction came to pass. You may keep fooling yourselves among the members of your cult-like sect, not the knowledgeable Christians. There were prophets, there are prophets, and there will be prophets till Christ returns. You may choose to continue living in delusion. That's your own cup of tea. |
