True repentance of a man with more than one woman will entail him settling all his sin partners , sending them back to their parents and making peace with his 1st legally married Wife.
This is true Repentance.

Any other thing is you Deceiving yourself.

Can you all see what bile your false teachings are causing in the society?

Just look through the thread and see what nonsense some people are saying here especially the lunatic called @Righteousness

Hi Daejumong, I am a new Christian convert with 4 wives! My pastor said I need to send three of my women away except the first wife!

Sir, what should I do? Can’t I keep all of them and we all serve God together?

Bible the blue point to life

In Matthew 19:3-9, Jesus was not speaking about polygamy. Rather, He is only answering a question about divorce. Indeed, the entire passage is about divorce, not polygamy.

"Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Matthew 19:3-9.

Indeed, in Matthew 19:8-9, Jesus simply repeats the Deuteronomy 24:1 "as it had been in the beginning", that God has always been against divorce of what He joined together. In Matthew 19:3, the Pharisees were asking about "every" reason for divorcing, but Jesus returned back with the only one allowed reason (the woman's "fornication / uncleanness", as per Deuteronomy 24:1.

Polygamy is about marriage, whereas divorce is about breaking up marriage. Accordingly, Jesus was not speaking against pro-marriage polygamy in Matthew 19. He was instead addressing marriage-destruction of divorce. It was about divorce, not polygamy.

suratwo62:
First of all Israel which is the most favored nation of God is founded from the 12 children from 4 wives of one man. God of the bible does not see marrying 4 wives as a sin.
Second: Read Deuteronomy 21:15-23. This is God's Law. Not a law from a man of God

15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:[i][/i]

God himself is speaking here

Captain4Jehovah:
He who created them from the beginning created them a male and female_ one husband and one wife.

almarthins:
So in your heart you have intention to marry more that one.

freezyprinzy:
Where in the Bible does it specifically say polygamy is a sin? It only says a man with many wives cannot be a leader in church.

The Bible nowhere explicitly gives a “thou shalt not marry multiple wives” command.

But the bible clearly and STRONGLY APPROVES of a man marrying MORE than one wife

AntiChristian:
You don't have the holy spirit they have to twist scriptures!

Almunjid:
I have the Holy Spirit - 'Rasulullah', the Spirit of Truth who guides my understanding of the Bible, as prophesied in John 16:13: "However, when He, the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all truth."

Salaam!

Daejumong:
Hi Daejumong, I am a new Christian convert with 4 wives! My pastor said I need to send three of my women away except the first wife! He said it is called restitution and it’s important for my new life in Christ!

My wives have all given their lives to Christ as well and I love them and not keen on sending any of them away.
I am a 38yr old man living in the northern part of Nigeria and I used to be a Muslim .

Sir, what should I do? Can’t I keep all of them and we all serve God together?

Houseontherock1:
I get that this writer was a Muslim, but what was the need to marry 4 wives at 38 years? It's basically covetousness, inability to look away from other women and be satisfied with one! Just send 3 away, they are still young and can remarry...they are a whole lot of distraction

femi4:
Your pastor is right about sending the three other women away because as a Christian only the first wife is recognised in the union of marriage.

3. If you continue to sleep with the other 3 women after your found new faith, it is called ADULTERY

suratwo62:
No. He did not create them A male and A female. He created them male and female. Two very different things

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.

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!

AntiChristian:


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."

Did you and the pastor tell him about Deuteronomy 21:15-23

15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

Tell him. NO. READ TO HIM Deuteronomy 21:15-23

femi4:
All those you listed are not the standard. They were humans and made mistakes. We Christians don't model our lives to live like they did. We followed the laid down rules in the better covenant. I understand your problem as inferior Muslim, all your lives activities are model after MM...a mere human that's not absolve of mistakes

flyingdutchman:
JESUS! False doctrine! The WORD of God never said that. Marrying more than one wife is distracting as a Christian but is NOT a sin

You are not required return your wives back. You married them properly.

Why would you push your three wives into temptation of Adultery? Beware of false teachings!

AntiChristian:
Jesus didn't marry!
So also Paul and many disciples!

Model your life and don't marry!
Leave the babes for us!

Our life is modelled after him as we believe he ran the last lap of Prophethood after Jesus!

Follow Jesus and don't get married!
