[quote author=Veecruz post=129143603] If God gave him wives then why would God accuse him of taking a wife, (one wife) out of the same many wives you say God gave him wives?Because that's someone else' wife! your pretence knows no bound, does it? You pretend you don't know the difference! Bersheba was already married to Uriah, those are off limit! The lady who had never been married, is a widow or divorcee, were what he should have gone for. Whats worse, he killed the man so he could hide his sins even though the man was a loyal and obidient soldier full of morals and goodness. That was his sin! If you are told, as you say, that you have been given the cars in Elizade Motors, and Lanre.Shitu motors and all the cars in the Ikeja terriitory how then anyone accuse you of taking just one car?'Because that car already belonged to someone else! Because that car already belonged to someone else! Because that car already belonged to someone else! Because that car already belonged to someone else!

MiddleDimension:I hope you're not sleeping when typing this repetitive comments because it looks childish. How many wives did God created for Adam? Why did Job refused to take another wife? The answer is simple: God never intended that either man or woman should take more than one partner so whatever makes a man or woman sleep with another person while his or her partner lives he or she is taking someone's husband or wife! |

MaxInDHouse:Please mention the name of the person whose wife he is taking ooooo! Oh, he doesn't have a name? Well that's because he doesn't exist! A husband must be a man, right since you don't agree with lesbianism; and a man must have a name, doesn't he? So, tell us the name of the man whose wife he is taking! I can see its your fantasy to show how baseless your position is! |

MaxInDHouse:For the bolded, by creating Eve, God was not saying a man must have only one wife! There is no such injunction! I have already explained to you what the ''the two shall become one mean''. Don't tell me sound arguements have no ability to impress and educate you. |

MiddleDimension:Can you mention the name of Cain's wife? Of course you can't perhaps that's because it supposed to be one man one woman that's why Cain's wife's name never appeared in the scriptures but what about the two women who first married one man? The Bible mentioned their names Adah and Zillah. Why? Because they are the first women to drag over one man until they both ended up marrying just one man! So if David married more than one the rest belongs to other men because when he is raised from the dead he can't marry more than one again in Paradise where God instituted monogamy one man one woman! |

MiddleDimension:God gave Adam one wife because that's the standard He (God) is setting for marriage anything outside this is sin! In Christianity Jesus said we are all brothers and sisters {Matthew 12:46-50; 23:10} and God said in the law: “You must not take a woman in addition to her sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while her sister is alive" Leviticus 18:18 So if you're a Christian and God's word doesn't permit you to marry unbelievers {1Corinthians 7:39} is it right to marry a Christian sister as rival for another Christian sister? NO! |

MiddleDimension:The bold already tells you that this is The Law against embezzlement and non just enrichment. 2 Laws in 1 verse. And since you are talking about amassing riches, you are talking off point. Will check the rest of your post when I come over back. |

[quote author=MaxInDHouse post=133194091] Can you mention the name of Cain's wife?The bolded is not given anywhere in the bible hence it is your word. Are you not a witness anymore? Or are witnesses suppose to pass of their opinion as the word of god now? Is that not why you claim you are against the doctrine of purgatory, because it is not in the bible hence it is the word of men? but what about the two women who first married one man? The Bible mentioned their names Adah and Zillah.Again your word, not those of God. open to that place and show us where the bible says they DRAGED ONE MAN let alone indicating that THAT'S WHY THEIR NAMES WERE MENTIONED. You adding that, is you imputing your word, MaxInDHouse's word, and passing it as Jehovah's. So if David married more than one the rest belongs to other menWho are the ''other men'' and SHOW THAT THE WOMEN WERE TRULY MARRIED TO THOSE MEN. You can do that by providing evidence from the scripture (since you are a witness who claims he believes in sola scriptura) to show that there was any kind of brideprice paid by those men, or ceremony (since a marriage ceremony is part of the true indication that marriage has taken place) to show they were indeed married to those men. because when he is raised from the dead he can't marry more than one again in ParadiseFalse! Jesus, the final arbiter of anything christian, said in the gospels: ''...For when the dead rise to life (which is the senario you are refering to), they will be like the angels in heaven and will not marry. Matt 22:30 why do you insist on imputing your word as the word of god? where God instituted monogamy one man one woman!Again, this is your word. God did not institute monogamy let alone doing it in heaven. No evidence to show for this. |

[quote author=MaxInDHouse post=133194104]God gave Adam one wife because that's the standard He (God) is setting for marriage anything outside this is sin! In Christianity Jesus said we are all brothers and sisters {Matthew 12:46-50; 23:10} and God said in the law:But you know it is blood relatives they are talking about, don't you? Of course you do! You know it is not the figurative brother and sister. If your interpretation is correct, then you are committing incest since by that verse above, you married your sister! Guy, stop this, you are too mature for things like this. So if you're a Christian and God's word doesn't permit you to marry unbelievers {1Corinthians 7:39} is it right to marry a Christian sister as rival for another Christian sister?Corinthians never told you not to marry an unbeliever. The concern Paul expressed there is mainly so you don't lose your faith. The concern about the god of the bible is always about the merit of the individual, not whatever he or she professes or does not! This is why even gentiles recieved his approval.

[quote author=Dtruthspeaker post=133194349] The bold already tells you that this is The Law against embezzlement and non just enrichment.False. The word translated ''multiply'' there, is the Hebrew word ''Yarva'' (רבה) when you use google translate or any other translator, it comes out as ''a lot''. The phrase ''alot'' is not synonymous with ''embezzle''. ''alot'' just means many, hence ''multiply''. But ''embezzle'' is to steal, to take what does not belong to you. This is why your intepretation is not a good one.

MiddleDimension:You always will be a child of satan . Kings, rulers and politicians.eg Tinubu, Obasanjo etc have already shown the world the meaning and purpose of that verse, which is to deplete and amass the commoin riches and wealth of the nation to their themselves because of that position.. eg the present 47 duplexes which efcc say they recovered from former kings https://www.nairaland.com/8283470/emefiele-owns-753-duplexes-abuja#133136247 So son of Satan carry your Lies and burn in helllfire with them as you already know that is what waits for Satan and his children. |

MaxInDHouse:Cain, for example, got his wife from among those people he encountered when he served his punishment by wondering about! Gen 4. Yes, Jacob married two sisters; but that was before the law came to them. After the law was given by Moses 400years later, it became illegal for the Hebrews to marry within that degree of kindred blood sisters of the sane father or mother cannot marry the same man. It is you who have seen from Numbers 12 that punishment waits for you if you keep telling your congregation that a man should not have more than one wife thereby making your women fornicators in their effort to have a child. @SirTee15 @Dtruthspeaker @StillDTruth @MaxInDHouse hear me and take heed. The video I posted here about a pastor was posted so you WILL KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM OF SIDE CHICKISM IS ENDEMIC IN YOUR CONGREGATION. i posted it so that you could hear it from someone who would know: a pastor! Why should a pastor know? Well, he should know because of the office he holds in the congregation. Many people go to him for counceling, and other advice, so he knows! Seeing that the bible said it through Paul (1 cor 6 vs 9) that fornicators SHALL NOT inherit the kingdom of god, it follows that anyone who preaches against polygamy, which is the only way (in the backdrop of the disperity in the number of marriagable women to to men) women can get to have a child without committing fornication, except they use assisted reproduction which many of them including those who can afford it, don't use. Since you have decided to cause these innocent women to go have their children whike committing ain in the process by preaching the falsehood against polygamy, well, I want you to know that the axe has being set against you already because Jesus said: ''It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.'' Luke 17vs 2. The little ones are the congregation because they are not grounded in the faith to know that you are telling them lies when you say Polygamy is not of God. In Ezekiel 3 vs 17, he said: Son of man! Behold I have made you a watchman over the people... teach them what you hear from me. This means you should teach them the truth about the word of God that God wants the women to get married and become a second, third, forth or even fifth wife of a man since there are not too many marriageable men around. But their current practice of going to become a side chick in order to have thwir child, will do nothing but lead then to etternal damnation. Tell them God is looking forward to seeing them become a second wife of a man. You also have to encourage the first wives to allow their husbands to take another wife so that these other women can have the opoortunity of holding their own children in their arms just as they already have. Enough of the antagonisn against polygamy in the christian church especially when God did not tell you he has a problem with it. Infact, through his word, you know he actually blesses such union. I have already explained to you and have made it so plain that it is undeniable to you that polygamy has its origin in the deepest part of divinity or that it is resident in the most place in the mind of God!

MiddleDimension:Get this. You people are still the very same people who God destroyed in Noah's time, for doing these very same things eg fornications, adultery, murders, lyings, polygamy, jujuism (paganism) etc. And as you and your ilk are proving, you people are even worse worse worse than the people of Noah's time, so there is nothing here. |

Dtruthspeaker:As a matter of fact, your position IS NOT, and CANNOT be infered from ANY bible passage whatsoever. On the contrary, what can be infered from the bible is my position: that he took a wife from among the people he met when he went wandering about, a people with whom he, Cain, had NO FILIAL RELATIONS. Again, read Genesis chapter 4. |

MiddleDimension:Since 'Adam and Eve were the only ones created to multiply, therefore every person was their child. And those children were around them. Thus, Cain was the first person to migrate away from them which is why he built a city and not that he went to a city. Thus, there was no one to meet. Its as clear as thaf! |

| Re: Deuteronomy 17:17 Shows That God Does Not Approve Polygamy!!! by MiddleDimension: 7:15pm On Dec 12, 2024 |
MaxInDHouse:He DID NOT even create Adam and Eve 'in pairs', to begin with. Gensis chapter 2 says: ''7 Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a man[c] out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live.'' Then in verse 21&22, he created the woman. it says: ''21 Then the Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh. 22 He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him.'' So, he did not create Adam and Eve 'in pairs', like you are fantacising it. The questions you are asking are not good questions, and you know it! |
