I do appreciate your view on any post but not this one, I am a Christian well believe with strong faith and on daily I observe His scripture so therefore there's nothing like sin with his marital status bcoz in the kingdom of God everyone is brethren.
In first King God told David instead of Uriah's wife if you asked about more wives, I could have give you the women of a nation. Most of this one wife law are implemented by modern churches not scripture. Thanks.

So he should them back to their parents (maybe even with their kids). Also, what will they be doing in their parents' houses And besides, what's your definition of '1st legally married wife'

Ani se, Delusion is your first name while Insanity is your last name...

The Bible teaches that God meets each of us where we are. In 1 Corinthians 7:17, Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.

Paul encourages believers to walk in the life that God has assigned to them, suggesting that God understands and works with our existing circumstances when we come to faith. For a new believer with multiple wives, this means God offers grace and support as they begin their spiritual journey. Bottomline keep your wives. If confused see your pastor for guidance

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?

It's easy for a man to leave a marriage but what will be the fate of the women if you ask them to leave? And the children?

Kingosytex:
Delusion is your name. Marrying more than one wife is a sin but paying tithes isn't? 😂

very slow minded person.. So the thing self shock u like me?

Almunjid:
You're the one confused here. Both polygamy and tithing are part of the Old Testament laws. You mentioned that Jesus praised the woman who gave her last penny as tithe. This seems to indicate that his coming didn't change these old laws, doesn't it?

For ages, polygamy was a cultural practice among the Israelites, but they later shifted towards monogamy for various reasons, not because polygamy was explicitly forbidden. When Jesus arrived, he observed monogamy as the prevalent practice and didn't waste his time criticizing the old polygamous tradition. Jesus was a Jew, no religiously well-versed Jew would ever consider polygamy a sin. Instead, it's always been viewed as a personal choice, just like monogamy.

Peace!

You can go marry multiple wives since you're confused maybe that will settle the case

Kingosytex:
You don box yourself enter corner

But your pastors still cling to the judaist doctrine of collecting tithes that predates Christ😂
Why then should polygamy be discarded while tithing maintained since both are judaist doctrines that predate Christ? 😂
Meanwhile, who gave your pastors the right to collect tithes?
Are your pastors Levites? Are they judaists or christians?

You are too confused,did pastor force you to pay tithes, people like you make up excuses just to avoid giving to Gods work

You are free to marry your 4 wives as a Christian provided you are not made a church leader or bishop

illicit:
They were not your property

They chose to stay or leave or...

Detrhonomy support more wifes

Even some other verse of Bible support it if you are not the head of church

almarthins:
Why is I will never go to theological schools because most them interprete the scriptures upside down.
Some people come back from there and become more sinners than Saint.

Scripture interprete scripture: do you remember the story about the woman whom jesus met at the well?
What did jesus tell her?

Polyandry and polygamy was never in God's original plan for human being. If the word of christ was not absolutely communicated we would read that his apostles were husband of many wives or chronic divorcees. So I wander why you re taking so much effort to make it look like jesus left somethings out. Jesus is the perfection of the law, as a result he made everything clear in his statements.

This is the passage you are refering to.

Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
4 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.

4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])

10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17 “I have no husband,” she replied.

Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”

19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

Show me where Jesus talked about polygamy here. The lady was not into polyandry here because jesus told her she has HAD 5 husbands. ''Had'' is a past tense. Polyandry means having more than ine husband at the same time.

But polygyny, which is a man having more than one wife at the same time, was not even alluded to in the passage.

[quote author=AntiChristian post=132711475]

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."

Mind you, David was not a Christian, same with all those you mentioned. To be a Christian means you're following Jesus' teachings.
There are other religions out there to follow.
So the pastor is right. Your first wife is your legal wife in Christianity.

Jokerman:
In Christianity, it is one man, one wife.

Nothing more,nothing less.

Settle your 3 later wives, and keep providing for them until they get new husbands if possible.

Remember, the road to life is narrow and rough, not many will find it

Clown 🤡 so what about his kids too. He should throw them away? Emancipate yourself from this shallow thinking.

This is how you people create problems in the body of christ. Since when is it sin to have more than one wife. The scriptures made it clear that to be a leader in the church you must he a man of one wife. The new convert is not a leader and l don't think he has the intension and you want to create problem in his family. Tell me, what will now happen to the three wives and their children. How will the children accept a God that separated them from their mother or father.
Being in Christ should even unit the family the more rather scather them.
If the man is comfortable with his four wives then let him be. Have you not read in the bible where God gave a married woman that lost his husband to David 2 Samuel 12:8

Captain4Jehovah:
The LORD God made them a male(one husband) and female(one wife) since the beginning of time.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 2 : 24

First if someone is a minister of God, he does not have any other option than to let go three of them and keep one though it may seem difficult at first. Jesus word still stands.

Regarding a new convert you can't just let them go like that: you may make their lives "miserable"_the shock of your restitution would have a lasting negative effect on their lives. I don't know if they have children for you plus IF THEY ALL LOVE YOU. You know, you and your wives are just new babies in Christ. To do such a restitution, your pastor will have to do a lot with your wives' decisions and judgment to leave except the first one. What of if they say they are not leaving? Or the marriage was legally bond? You have married them anyway! And I see that you have made a decision not to let them go. The decision is yours.

Do know that keeping them MIGHT NOT BE AN HINDRANCE FOR YOU TO MAKE HEAVEN. I say it again in another tone, YOU MIGHT GET TO HEAVEN. To make home with four wives WOULD TASK YOU ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Christianity is not a joke!

Shows you know nothing about the spiritual realm. See whether you believe me or not Heaven isn't meant for Humans. Heaven is meant for God Almighty , 24 Elders, Arch angels and other Angels. The notion you guys think when you die and go to a Heaven is a fallacy bro. You were sold the story. The true story is that earth is only meant for Humans. When you die that's the end of everything. So marrying a billion wives or whatever will only be a memory long gone in the sands of time.

kissdabride:

Thanks for your input, but let's be real – monogamy isn't that practical anymore, and we need to stop fooling ourselves. I mean, what's the point of having one wife and three side chicks or baby mamas? Plenty of Christians nowadays have more than one wife; polygamy has become pretty common in Christian circles, so you might as well embrace it.

Marry one and send me the rest.
There is something I want to check in them.

Please read the bible thoroughly and ask God to open your eyes before passing judgement on these kind of matters. You have been identified as a Christian voice for a long time on this website and as such, you must not goof as most people including the ones clicking like on this your message, might be led astray. This question was answered directly in the bible. Please look for it and modify your post. Shalom

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!

This is devilish.
Be careful what you spew here one of the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith.
You can't keep several wives as a follower of Jesus Christ. The first wife is your true wife.
Don't bring orisa and ifa’s standard into Christianity. You'll get burned.

I want to believe you are looking for a way to legalise ur conscience to do what you intend or are your intent.

A woman that married one, man left him for another. Though it was a norm in Samaria but he made her know that it a flaw which God frowns at. I don't know what you want but you can never deny the fact the jesus warned against adultery which was spoken within the context of marriage between a man and a woman, not women.

Mark 10:10
the disciples ask Jesus privately about this matter, and Jesus says to them, “

Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

Mark 10:6

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. Jesus said that in the context of marriage.

So the better question here is this,

If you married someone who is not right for you and the marriage is a risk to your life due to domestic violence ,harassment and all.

What do you advice?.
To remain in the marriage and get beaten to death or leave the marriage and live.

And don't tell me to pray for the person to change because with all the millions of church goers in Nigeria the leaders have not changed

You married them legally, why should you send them away?

What gives you assurance that the first wife is legal? Did he marry her in a right way or in accordance with the Scriptures instructions?
I hope he needs to unfuck them and kill all the children they have for him too.

Marrying more than one wife legally never a sin at all

Why would you send them away? And send them to where if I may ask?

Sweet Jesus is not wicked. He embraced sinners and did not cast them away.

The only condition is that you will not be able to hold any position in church which I don't think is a problem.

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 his other wives because he converted to Christianity, he's 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!

A man used to have 12 wives as a traditionalist. He converted to Islam by reciting the Shahada and so the same with each of his 12 wives when Antichrist's Antichristian did dawah for them.

Now, according to the Sunnah of Mohammed or of Allah in the Qur'an, should he divorce 8 of his twelve wives.




I am waiting sir!






If you want to know my opinion according to the Bible for the case of the OP,
1. Having more than one wife is NOT a sin
2. However, ANYONE who would be a leader in the Church is expected to be the Husband of ONE wife.
3. God hates Divorce
This is the position of the scripture!
