raphieMontella: He also supports slavery and sex slaves whole heartedly too. Inshort, he tells them who to take and who not to take. He told them how to Bleep their slaves and how to treat them after the act. Does that make it right too? You guys just sellect passages that suit your needs. If we decide to implement all the things the Bible permits and those it rejects, do you think Christianity would be what it is today? Jesus even asked slaves to be humble and good to their masters. Does that mean we should start buying people since Jesus did not openly condemn the act? |

"...husband of one wife..."can also be translated " husband of a wife..." which will then mean a single man should not be a deacon/bishop. The Greek word is mia and it can be translated as "a". E.g a boy= one boy. I'm not endorsing polygamy but I thought this should be mentioned. 1 Like |

bennyann: You are letting your emotion get in the way of logic, first off I have one wife. Secondly, these so called old testament men who married more than one wife were highly esteemed by God and even one was called a man after God's own heart. God never called David an adulterer for marrying more than one wife, he called him an adulterer for stealing and sleeping with another man's wife and then making sure the man got killed. Solomon was not condemned for marrying more than one wife though we can argue he went into excess. Solomon was condemned for marrying women who worshiped idols. Nobody was condemned throughout the bible for marrying more than one wife , so your argument is extremely fallacious and totally baseless. You're in charge of your life now so it's your choice. The reason why your Christian brothers have many concubines is because they have listened to the wrong advice of so-called pastors who not only mislead them but in many cases prevent them from marrying early and in many cases from marrying the right person. Your men of god and priests are a different matter, they are the Number 1 Hypocrites worldwide, more so than Imams and Muslims scholars who at least practice what they preach. These your leaders are liars, sexual predators, and perpetrators of sexual perversion. I know what polygamy does to children and the entire family and I don't want to be part of those that don't want to change that. I care for my unborn children. And any responsible man out there will love his wife as he loves himself, otherwise, he should let the woman have fun too. Hmm, it depends, there are many dysfunctional monogamous homes with litters of illegitimate children and there are many polygamous homes that are fully functional with children born within the confines of God-sanctioned marriage. Hypocrites! Yep, this word hypocrite very precisely defines the behavior of Christians and their mostly useless pastors who preach one thing and do the other. Hypocrites all of them |

frosbel2: Yeah, I think I'm letting my emotions get in the way. And I never said anyone was condemned but anyone who has the Spirit of God in Him knows the answer to which is more Honourable and desired by God, whether is polygamy or monogamy. But if Christians are to go by loving our neighbors as ourselves, would anyone like that who loves his wife as himself go for another partner? Didn't you leave Christianity because of such since you defend polygamy to this extent? |

Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful! A Biblical Defense by Jozzy4: 9:32pm On May 21, 2017 |
raphieMontella: The bible said TWO ( the man and his wife ) will become one flesh . NOT three , if the followers of Christ are to practice polygamy Jesus won't have specifically said TWO. |
Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful! A Biblical Defense by raphieMontella: 10:43pm On May 21, 2017 |
Jozzy4:Grasping at straws. That means when Yahweh said in Isaiah something 7 women shall take hold of one man, he means we should marry 7 women. |
Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful! A Biblical Defense by Jozzy4: 10:50pm On May 21, 2017 |
raphieMontella: show me the straw in that clear statement? a man will leave his Father and cling to his wife, and the TWO will be one flesh . dont insult intelligence please
The verse says nothing about marriage. Wake up |

frosbel2: I knew....lol...was just kidding. Read where you said you were married. It's good to meet an honest man....in that aspect. |

lol, Protestantism has become a heresy birthing anomalies. |
Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful! A Biblical Defense by Nobody: 10:02am On May 22, 2017 |
Ubenedictus: First off I am not a protestant or even a Christian for that matter. That being said, the Roman Catholics cannot talk, they are the 'de la crème' of sexual evil and all the wickedness that is associated with it - worldwide. |

There are no different sins for pastors and floor members. Sin is sin and God is no respecter of persons. Whatever qualifications or status one has doesn't reduce their punishment for sins when their time runs out. When God said a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and become one flesh, was he referring to pastors? No! However here is a verse below Titus 1: 6 if a man is blameless , the husband of one wife , having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination. Anything other than monogamy is adultery. raphieMontella: |

frosbel2: I can see that 'de la hoya' is trying frantically to justify why he should take a 2nd wife. |

frosbel2: Don't stretch the truth. |

raphieMontella: I also stated what the Bible said. |
Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful! A Biblical Defense by raphieMontella: 6:41am On May 23, 2017 |
delishpot:So we are both correct then |
Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful! A Biblical Defense by raphieMontella: 6:57am On May 23, 2017 |
Amberon:Like I said, give me a comprehensive reason why three cannot become one, if two people can become oNe flesh. Why are you this sly? This passage was talking about elders of the church ... 2 other Bible versions clearly stated elder in where you inputed Man.. . I attached screenshots of kjv niv and Gnt Anything other than monogamy is adultery.[quote]I'm still waiting for proof of this. Remember, Yahweh's paddy Moses ,he was polygamous

Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful! A Biblical Defense by delishpot: 8:41am On May 23, 2017 |
raphieMontella: So can we start practicing slavery? Since we want to start applying everything they bible excused. We may have to start doing and permitting a lot of things the Bible encouraged. |

OLAADEGBU: Trust me if I had the money and lived in Africa I would marry a second wife - does that satisfy your religious curiosity Mr. Deeperlife ? |

Refer me to the bible, not NL. raphieMontella: |
Re: Polygamy Is Not Sinful! A Biblical Defense by Amberon: 4:05am On May 25, 2017 |
Am I God that said two shall become one? Maybe you need to direct that question to God himself raphieMontella: Oga , I'm not the author of the bible. I didn't add nor subtract anything from that verse. That verse said "Man". And like I told you there are no separate rules for pastors and floor members of a church. A christian is a christian. If God had said floor members marry one wife; you mischievous discord sowers would've come saying the rule is only for floor members and not pastors. When God said A man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they two shall become one flesh, was he referring to elders. I understand Christianity isn't for the feeble minded so pls stick with atheism. |
