Christians, Is Marrying More Than One Woman A Sin? by Nobody: 5:09pm On Dec 02, 2015
Hello Nairalanders, I was listening to a very heated argument today at work. I didn't delve into it due to my shallow knowledge of the subject of discussion. The argument was that marrying more than one woman is a sin for a Christian because it is against the tenets of Christianity and the bible itself.

There was a counter argument by someone else that so long the man marries both women according to the Christian norms and procedure, then there is no sin in it

This placed me in a quagmire.. Hence I fall to my all knowing Nairalanders grin... What do you guys think?

Well bro it is clearly stated in the bible that it is good for a man to marry only one wife but it is not a sin, but let us see it this way, i dont really think it is a sin to marry more than one wife, for example if your wife goes barren or refuses to give u a male child after so many years then i think the man is justified if he marries another wife, in other sense when your wife changes her character to a troublesome one and she refuses to change then it is justifiable for a man to find solace in the hands of another woman then thirdly when you have the money to take care of a whole community then i think it is justifiable to marry another wife instead of cheating, its a matter of choice but mind you marrying of more than one wife have numerous disadvantages from jealousy to hatred to fighting and all other devilish devices so to avoid all these it is good for a man to marry one wife, it brings oneness,peace, love and understanding.

Yes! It's a sin!


Religion is doing what you're being told irrespective of what is right, Logic is doing what is right irrespective of what you've been told.

The Bible says it's wrong, and doing what is wrong is a sin. Therefore it is a sin!

QED!
Re: Christians, Is Marrying More Than One Woman A Sin? by Nobody: 5:15pm On Dec 02, 2015
Yes it's a sin...

The bible says:

".... and for a Man shall leave his family and cling to his Wife (Not wives) and they shall become ONE"

I think you taking the bible for its semantic meaning is a logical misnomer... If we do this, trust me, the Bible will be vulnerable to heavy criticism.

Man, this is more reasonable even if some Christians won't like this. I believe its not a sin also but one must strife to be a one lady man...

One wife makes more happiness grin

Marrying more than one wife is absolutely not a sin

Ask king Solomon he knows better


And before u say its old testament Jesus did not discourage or even said anything about marrying more than one wife

Its just the catholic church that brought that rule together with priests not marrying at all

The enbolded points are so African and primitive... Come on!

Your wife cannot just change her character all of a sudden, rather than taking another wife u fix it

Mate, let's be realistic. Africans still give credence and preference to male children. It has brought about the end of numerous unions and caused infidelity.. So it still exist and he was right to point it out...

As primitive and repugnant as it sounds, it is still happening....
