Is polygamy really a sin in christainity or is it just a white mans means for population control through christainity. Pastors and theologians in the house what's your take?

Shelumiel:
Jesus Christ has assigned one man to one wife. Old testament figures who practiced polygamy came after Jesus and his message.

virginprincess:
Polygamy is a sin, christ said one man, one wife.

For a time, God did permit a man to have more than one wife. (Genesis 4:19; 16:1-4; 29:18-29 ) But God did not originate the practice of polygamy. He provided only one wife for Adam.
God authorized Jesus Christ to reinstitute His original standard of monogamy. ( John 8:28 ) When asked about marriage, Jesus said: “He who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh.’”—
Matthew 19:4, 5 .
One of Jesus’ disciples was later inspired by God to write: “Let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband.” ( 1 Corinthians 7:2 ) The Bible also states that any married man in the Christian congregation who is given special responsibilities must be “a husband of one wife.”— 1 Timothy 3:2, 12

TheLionofLasigi:


Uhm can you quote the verse were Jesus explicitly said one man one wife....and from what I know the message of Christ doesn't invalidate the old testament.

You can express yourself without being insultive.

Shelumiel:
I will insult any fool who knows the truth but chooses to argue with it just satisfy carnality

TheLionofLasigi:


Now you're willfully being stupid. Kindly fvck off from the thread if you don't have anything factual to contribute.

Shelumiel:
An autistic lowlife is trying talk...? Why dont you tell that my love-peddling mother who gives mouth action for free

TheLionofLasigi:


Am not the reason you where born in a baby manufacturing plant and ended up a total failure in life, kindly take your life's frustrations to who ever birthed you or better still you can jump in the lagoon. Fvck off and quit derailing this thread.

Shelumiel:
[s][/s]Get the fvck of my mentions asshole

Stephenmoka4:
Monogamy is the Christian way, if you need passage I can help you. However, we are humans and some people will always desire extra taste and longing for more.

Sorry about that insult I saw there. I find it a turn off for a Christian to be abusive by little things. No one is perfect I know.

Thanks, I'd appreciate a passage or a scripture.

ejibaba:


What truth? Really Insult? What will then do to those who don't believe in your faith? I guess you will kill them?

This is how boko haram started...Insult me...I understand but allow people challenge your truth so you get to learn more. This is how Apostle Paul won the hearts of many to Christ.

Stephenmoka4:

1 Corinthians 7:2, Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:8,
Ephesians 5:33 (notice the singular )

Deuteronomy 17:17

TheLionofLasigi:


The first 4 scriptures were talking about a man's responsibility to his wife, abstaining from premarital sex and addressing the issue of divorce, whether or not the words were singular or plural doesn't really hold a strong argument, most times God or Jesus used the word "man" for issues that applied to "men" and even women, so him using wife instead of wives doesn't exactly state it as being applicable for "wife" alone.

And Deuteronomy was God giving instructions to the levites and the king.
Am still waiting for a scripture were God said polygamy is a sin that will lead a man to hell.

Stephenmoka4:
From 1 Timothy 12 ; You'll noticed the words wife and children. Wife been singular but, kept that way. (Even though, polygamy exist ) Children been plural but, kept that way. (Even though a possibility for a family to have just one.)


In polygamy, do 3 or 5 or 14 becomes one flesh?

A man and a woman are one (married, monogamy)

TheLionofLasigi:


Let me put the question like this; If I marry two women will I go to hell.
