Who told you that marrying more than one is a sin?
If that pastor tells you it's a sin to marry more than one because it's an old testament doctrine, ask him why he collects tithes which is also an old testament doctrine.,
don't mind the mentally illed Christians

You're a pulpit terrorist. You support the senseless murder of innocent women and children and justify the heinous crimes against humanity orchestrated against Palestinians by so called Jews, whom you claim are Gods own people. The same murderous blood suckers Jesus cursed in the bible for rejecting His good works in favour of the devil. Tell me where in the bible polygamy is explicitly condemned. So if it was your sister that was married in polygamy, the husband should bring her back with her children to your father's house? I have a hunch this hypocrite is even a product of polygamy.

What did David do with all his wives?

What about Solomon?

Abeg o! Send the number of those your ex wives maybe I fit take them out of Christianity!

Cain's son Lamech and Moses had 2 wives. David had 8 wives! Solomon 300 wives and 700 concubines! Gideon had many wives!
Deuteronomy 21:1-17 suggest marriage of multiple wives including captured prisoners gotten from conquests.

Elkanah a godly man and father of Samuel had 2 wives. Abraham, the father of faith had two wives!

In 2 Samuel 12 when the prophet Nathan confronts David over his sin with Bathsheba, we read: "This is what the Lord God of Israel says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I have given you your master's house and your master's wives into your bosom … and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and as if this wasn't enough, I would have given you even more."

Is it that all of these men of God were not guided (by the Holy spirit) in their marriages?

And lastly Yahweh prescribed law to protect first wife in Polygamy- Exo 21:10 "If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights."[/quote]

He married them all legally so stop all these. They are his wives and having them all is not a sin before God go and read your Bible and stop making people feel like they are not needed by God, the tax collector did he legally acquired all his wealth legally? No he add his own aside the legal amount he is ask to collect and he use it as his own personal business.

In my view, yes if they are not in a position of authority within the church. The Bible is clear on requirements for such roles.

Sending them away is akin to divorce which is also a sin.

Almunjid:
Christianity and confusion are almost synonymous. Like Jesus himself said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them" (Matthew 5:17). This verse has so many interpretations, just because Christians want to reject old laws and follow their own man-made doctrines. Some say the above Verse means that Jesus came to complete the purpose of the law, some say he was showing the reason for the law, and others believe he fulfilled the law and that believers in Christ are no longer under it. It's all quite confusing!

And you know what's wild? If a new convert follows a pastor's teaching and divorces his other wives, he's doing those wives a huge injustice. Furthermore, if you mention some old laws, pastors would say, "Oh, that's just the Old Testament." But, they conveniently keep the tithing law from the Old Testament while condemning others. grin

Honestly, if someone divorces their wives because they converted to Christianity, they're causing great harm. Polygamy was part of the Old Testament, which Jesus didn't come to change. Adding more wives might not be encouraged, but keeping the existing ones should be okay. It's like when someone's been wounded – even after the wound heals, the scars remain. It's not right to condemn or reject someone because of their scars. Personally, I believe the remaining wives of a Christian convert are as legal as the first wives, not just scars from the past.

Shalom!
You don't have the holy spirit they have to twist scriptures! shocked

You legally married them; they are your wives.
If any of the 4 wishes to leave, she's free to.
You neither have any right to ask them to nor make them leave.
Your pastor that's talking about restitution implied that you must return them in a better condition than you met them, that's not practicable.
Can you return them as virgins, can you disown the children?
Just stay the way you are.
Sinners are those who keep 1 wife at home but maintain sidechicks outside.

Nowhere in the new testament is a convert forced to divorce his former wives. If they decide to go, no wahala. But if they are willing to stay, you are not obligated to send them away.
1 Corinthians 7:12 -16


To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Why would you call yourself a Christian when you are following the words of man ... your pastor? Is he following the Bible .... or be making up stuff as he goes along? Let him show you where in the Bible it says giving up your three wives is restitution. Shouldn't he be using the word divorce? He wouldn't because it will against what he preaches.... God hates divorce
Screenshot the points AntiChristian made earlier and confront him with them one at a time asking him to clarify. I guarantee he will begin speaking in tongues. My advice ... leave that club and find one where the pastor is following the teachings of the Bible.

This is godlessness taken to the extreme.

A believer should settle and be rid of what you called "sin partners" because he's found Jesus?

Tell me you do not mean what you say.

Christ definitely had you in mind when he called out the Pharisees for teaching men's tradition as commandments from God.

This is just so unrighteous, vile, insensitive, and wicked, to say the least.

There is not a single passage in holy scriptures that forbids men from marrying more than one wife. There is none, whatsoever.

I am willing and more than willing to part with a substantial sum if you can prove it.

In fact, the Pauline epistles discourage it. The bible requires that people remain the way they are when they first met HIM, so I don't know where you got yours from.

1Cor. 7

vs. 17. Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you. This is my rule for all the churches.

He repeats himself in verse 20

vs. 20. Yes, each of you should remain as you were when God called you.

And again, he repeats himself in verse 24.

vs. 24. Each of you, dear brothers and sisters, should remain as you were when God first called you.


If the man is to remain the way he is when God called him, how can you require that he divorce his wives when the act itself doesn't make him a sinner?
