Ok, please I need advice of people that knows the word of God, " is it sin for someone to marry two wives?




It is not wrong but can you please both of them equally? If you can, then go ahead...... Because your faithfulness towards them is what matters.

Let me say now that I know where you are going with this.

Under the new covenant and dispensation it is honourable and blessed to marry only one wife.

Try implement it under the old and outdated covenant i.e marry multiple partners will bring sorrow .



Point of correction sir, the word of God is not and it will never be old and outdated.....

Cheers

I didn't know people are actually aware of this truth especially the 4th commandment for keeping the Sabbath(Saturday) holy. I just wonder why everyone chose to ignore that commandment and go to church on Sunday and do all sort of unholy stuffs on Saturday against God's commandments. Could it be that the saying in Matthew 7:13-14 (“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it".) is playing out?







Ever heard of Vox populi Vox Dei?




So far it's acceptable and the people have an agreement on it, God has nothing against it



Example: Tax payment and human laws..... God got nothing against them as his primary aim asides bringing us to reign with him forever is for us to leave peacefully without infringing on each other's rights



Same is applicable to Christmas and Easter celebrations, all are fixed by men as there's no exact fixed date for it



How are you sure the Saturday we all
Call Saturday is the same counting from the time of God's creation?




The most important thing is our agreement and us keeping to it!



Some Christians choose sunday cos it signifies day of the resurrection


Others Saturday cos dey believe it's the sabbath



Either ways, God just has to do with them worshipping and being Grateful.

Love superceeds all. Though Jesus Christ said he hasn't come to eradicate the law but to fulfil it. The laws given by Moses were brutal, aside the 10 commandments, other popular law given by Moses was "an eye for an eye", but Jesus Christ neutralized that by saying "if anyone slaps u on the right cheek, turn the left towards that person to slap too". Jesus Christ came to summarize the old laws and make it simple to understand because people interpret and use it wrongly. There's no way I can love someone and still steal that person's property, or sleep with his wife or daughter. How can I cheat on my wife when I claim to love her. How will Fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram and other terrorist group kill anyone if there's love for their neghbor. The only reason I refuse to judge some extremists is because they were born with complicated laws either through misinterpretations or brainwashing. Once love is embraced, the world would be a better place, but it takes a whole lot of grace to be able to do the right thing.. #Love & #Grace

love is the new commandment, it covered the old ten commandment, if you love your parents, you wil honour them, if you love your neigbour, you wil not steal from him or murder him, if you love your wife, you wil not commit fornication or adultery, if you love GOD, you wil not serve idol or to worship other gods like money.
There are people who "love" their family and friends yet hate their neighbors!

The old covenant = the old testament

It outdated context which includes the blood of sheep , the process of cleansing, the ceremony to get God attention still remain outdated and been replaced by the new testament.

That is the angle I see it.

The Word of God never changes or outdated. The old testament were written to show us the real testment God will trying to teach us. That is not the point I made there.

Paul always refers to old testment to buttress the new testament .

Thanks for bringing such to my attention

Cheers

Christians violate 1st,2nd,3rd commandment... Without even knowing..
Most Christians read the new testament first before coming back to read the tanark.. So the use the eyes of Christianity to look at God's laws.. Which is wrong..

Study the Bible from the beginning, and you actually understand the laws of God..and obey them.. You will be saved...
The first commandment says "do not have any other God BEFORE me".. This clearly forbids any form of intermediary or mediator.. God wants to have a direct relationship with us, hence he forbids us from going through any intermediary.. Not Jesus, not Mary, not any Saint or pastor.. If you sin, all he requires is for you to sincerely repent and forsake your evil ways as he stated in 2nd chronicles 7:14,"if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and confess their sins and turn away from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land"... There never was any need for Jesus or his death... God in fact hates human sacrifice and calls it an abomination.. I really wonder which God Jesus is the mediator of, definitely not the God of Moses, Isaac, Abraham or Jacob..
The second says "do not make the image or likeness of anything in heaven, on earth or under the waters below the earth, do not bow down to them or serve them" Christians violate this command knowingly or unknowingly. The worship a god created in the image and likeness of a man, which is something found on earth..
I just pray that the vast majority of Christians will open their eyes and see the deceit the Romans has perpetuated on mankind...

Lol! If I'm wrong point it out




Btw don't you think an attribute of shallow thinking is criticizing a point without possibly giving a fix to it?



Refix your intellectual deficiency ( no disrespect) then, if you have sth sound..... I can agree or disagree with you.




Then, don't make the mistake of placing religion side by side with rationality..... they are miles apart, Good evening wink

Many feel the ten commandments is outdated but God's words has never and will never be time bound.
But the 10 commandments, of which there are in fact 613 commandments in total, the 10 famously spoken of simply being the first 10 of them all, was an agreement that God made only 2with those individuals with the blood of Jacob in their veins. God intentionally excluded those of the Gentile nations from that agreement. undecided
So, while it is not true that the Old Covenant Law of Moses, the Covenant to which the famed "10 commandments" belong in, is outdated - it is an eternal Covenant- those of the gentiles nations where never bound to that agreement by God and so had no authority given them by God to observe the Law either. undecided

God never gave you authority to observe the Old Covenant Law of Moses...you were excluded by God Himself from that agreement - See Deuteronomy 30 for where God only calls those who have the blood of Jacob in their veins following the Old Covenant Law of Moses which consists of 613, not 10, laws in total. undecided

The authority He gave you is to the following of the New Covenant, Jesus Christ, the Truth of God and the Law of the Kingdom of God. And Jesus Christ made it clear that it is His teachings/commandments that you are to follow instead. undecided

may320:

Jesus said love is the greatest of all commandments Matt 22: 36-40.
You're to love God, others and yourself.
Love is central to christian faith and all the commandments: if you love God, you will honour him, obey His commandments, believe Him and every of His word, you wouldn't do evil to your neighbour, ready to forgive and let go, tell them about the love of Christ, be submissive to His wills....etc. etc.
Without love it'll be difficult to do all these. The Op summarized the 10 commandments using the word "Honour", the Lord Jesus categorised all under "Love".
I am afraid this is not entirely true. First, Jesus Christ said that love is one of the greatest but it is not the only commandment. There are about 56 comandments/rules in the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God, embodied in the person of Jesus Christ, and these laws are contained in His teachings. undecided

Second, the Old Covenant Law of Moses is a separate covenant entirely from the New Covenant embodied in the person of Jesus Christ. There are several differences between the two covenants that everyone who has read the Bible ought to be aware of and some of them are as below

1) Old Covenant Law applies to those who are descendants of Jacob only whereas the New Covenant applies to all those (gentiles and Jews) who would chose to believe in Jesus Christ undecided

2) The Old Covenant is God's Law in the Kingdom of Canaan, a land that belongs in this world(the promised land) whereas the New Covenant Law is God's Law in the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom that is not even of this world. undecided

3) The name God attached to the Old Covenant is YHWH, a name He gave even to Abraham, the one to first receive the Covenant whereas the name attached to the New Covenant is the name of Jesus Christ. undecided

4) Those bound to the Old Covenant can only be released from it upon death(excluding the righteous among them), but all those who agree to be bound to the New Covenant are never released.. they are eternally bound to it. undecided

5) The Old Covenant Law has a total of 613 commandments/statutes whereas the New Covenant has a total of about 56 commandments, all of them contained in the teachings and Words of Jesus Christ. undecided

6) In the Old Covenant, only the righteous attain eternal life, whereas in the New Covenant, all those who believe, receive eternal life whether they continue to sin or not afterwards. undecided

7) The Old Covenant Law agreement was a Contract made between God and the People of Israel(group) whereas the New Covenant agreement is an agreement between God and individuals - each man bears His own burden/cross. undecided

cool Unlike in the Old Covenant, in the New Covenant, God set Himself up as Teacher, Shepherd, Master and Authority over all those who belong in His flock. And everyone of His New Covenant followers who continues to obey His commandments is a Prophet of His. undecided

9) In His New Covenant, there are no special offices, unlike in His Old Covenant. Instead, every one who belongs to God in His new Covenant is equal to the others and a Child of God. undecided

10) Each one of those who belong to God in His New Covenant (Son of God) is greater than even the greatest of those who are the blood of Jacob, the Old Covenant People of God. undecided

If you are a Christian, you’d know we are not under the law. We have a new Covenant with God which is Jesus Christ.

Love your God with all thy heart
And Love your neighbour as thy self covers all the 10 commandments.
Jesus Christ is the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God, so the claim that you are no longer under law is erroneous . undecided

Jesus Christ gave you at least 56 commandments n His teachings which He commanded you obey, and only those who obey His commandments can enter into the Kingdom of God and eventually make the grade as far as Heaven is concerned, where all others who enter His Kingdom but do not make the cut for Heaven, end up in Hell, also a part of the Kingdom of God. undecided

So when Jesus Christ said, those who love me are those who obey my commandments, He literally meant you are to obey His teachings &commandments if you literally want to abide in Him and He in you. undecided

Those who refuse to abide in Him, I.e. submit to and obey Jesus Christ's teachings & commandments, do not have love for Him and their claim of love is meaningless by that. undecided

You forget that " Vox Populi Vox Dei" is man's idea and not God's. God never gave man that impression of Himself so why you think He submits to it is beyond me. undecided

You are right that I am not a Christian but a follower of Jesus Christ who takes His instruction to obey His commandments seriously too. undecided

Jesus Christ said that those who truly love Him are only those who wear His name as a badge but instead those who submit to and obey His teachings and commandments. He even went on to declare that it is in those who obey His teachings/commandments that He and the Father will come and make their homes in.
