GOD GAVE ADAM THE FIRST MAN THAT HE CREATED ONE WIFE AND NOT MANY WIVES. WITH THE FALL OF MANKIND HOWEVER, MANY THINGS WHICH WEREN'T ORIGINALLY GOD'S PLAN FOR US WERE INTRODUCED WHICH GOD ALLOWED UNDER HIS PERMISSIVE WILL. WE WEREN'T CREATED TO EAT ANY THING THAT HAS BLOOD LIKE ANIMALS ETC AS THE FIRST MAN THAT GOD CREATED WAS CREATED A VEGETARIAN BUT AFTER THE FALL, GOD ALLOWED HUMAN BEINGS TO BEGIN TO EAT THINGS THAT HAVE FLESH., SEE GEN 1-29 AND GEN 9-3. POLYGAMY CAME UP AFTER THE FALL OF MANKIND AND WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT CAME UP AFTER THE FALL WHICH GOD ALLOWED. WITH THE COMING OF CHRIST AND THE SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS, WE WERE RESTORED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN OF GOD,
IN EVERYTHING WITH MARRIAGE INCLUSIVE AND MARRIAGE WAS ORIGINALLY ONE MAN ONE WIFE. GEN 2-24 SAID "THEREFORE SHALL A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL CLEAVE UNTO HIS WIFE NOT WIVES AND THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH. IF HOWEVER ONE WAS A POLYGAMIST BEFORE BECOMING BORN AGAIN, HE HAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND SHOULD LIVE WITH HIS WIVES HAPPILY AS HE CAN STILL MAKE HEAVEN WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY, IF THEY ALL SINCERELY FOLLOW THE WAYS OF GOD. THE ONLY THING THAT IT WILL PREVENT HIM FROM BEING, IS BEING A PASTOR AS A PASTOR OR BISHOP MUST BE HUSBAND OF ONE WIVE (1 TIM 3:1-2). ABRAHAM WASNT A PASTOR NEITHER WAS DAVID ONE. 07054142412

Some Christians may rush in and start bashing the man. But in my opinion, he has layed out the issue in a very rational way.

Anybody who has a contrary opinion should also express it rationally and with scriptural references, not with bashing or name calling.

God appreciates it when we reason together.

Infact my thought is… even if its not a sin, how many people can handle 2 wives at a time? Easier to handle several side chicks but 2 wives… abeg i hand off

MIKECOLD ANTIISLAM I NEED YOUR OPINION HERE

Pologamy isn't a sin but God recommendation for man was Adam and Eve not Adam and eves.

This is basically Because it is almost impossible to love more than one woman equally.

Even God doesn't share his love with idols

Trust me, he is very correct but is simply trying to avoid a backlash.............

God through his word, if you study carefully doesn't have any issue with polygamy.

However, God has constantly advised against it for people who must be leaders as a matter of example.

In the old testament, when Israel rejected God and demanded a king, Samuel was asked by God to tell them what a physical king will do to them, and told them to tell their king "not to multiply wives nor Chariots unto himself".......

The kings of Israel all had multiply wives but God didn't hold it as a sin against them.........

Paul in the new stated that any person seeking to be a leader in the church, should have just one wife as a matter of being an example..............

So it is my personal, candid opinion, obtained through personal study, that having multiply wives, provided it is not unlawful (that is against the law of the land) where you are, is not a sin.......

But, it is strongly recommended that we keep to one wife because it is a clear sign of continence and contentment........

This is aside from the fact that disagreements in polygamous homes are typically more complex than monogamous homes..............

Don’t be triggered ....I never said he’s wrong..

I have my own views about polygamy...

I believe polygamy is greed...it’s repackaged adultery......women are the same...trust me...

I believe no one can love his wives equally... so already there will be biasness....

Polygamy breeds jealousy among wives and children...
if any woman tells u she’s fine with the fact that her husband is drilling another woman in the next room and will still put the same pen!s in her later on ....then u must believe I’m dangote...
So already I are just hurting several women emotionally who can’t talk because of their desperate need to be married and have children

At the end of the day...polygamy tramples upon the rights of woman..

This is my view.. I am not speaking from religion.

.it’s based on my views I feel that Reno is not alright..

We are all entitled to our views but God is not bound by any of them so don't place your views as if they are law.

God is Omniscient. He knows ALL so If he deliberately did not make it CLEAR that polygamy is a sin under this dispensation then that should make you wonder why.

So many sins were deliberately and clearly named in the new testament some 3 or even more times but when it comes to polygamy it remains a grey area, just mentioned as being a no no for any who would be leaders in Church.

Based on my own personal research I have not found anybody who returned from Captivity who had more than one wife so I am led to believe that Polygamy died while the Israelites were in Captivity not because it was a commandment from God but due to cultural reasons or perhaps they were not allowed by their Captors to marry more than one wife.

Perhaps as a strategy to ensure they do not become a larger population like they were in Egypt.

There are things GOD tolerated with them that HE will not Tolerate with us. We must be careful with what we say!

Male and Female in that verse simply refers to gender and has nothing to do with plurality don’t deceive yourself.

Who told you polygamy is one of the things God no longer tolerates? Back it up with scripture?

Infact, why should we even marry? the same bible said it’s better not to marry I Corinth 7:8-9, 38. Jesus did not marry and he was handsome and of age, neither did Paul and more, so should we not marry?

We will not leave Abraham or David, these men were polygamist and were also God’s favorites.
I don’t think marriage was all that important in God’s mission, if anything it was a distraction. if you can handle one distraction, good and if you can handle two or more distractions better otherwise its best to be unmarried like Jesus, like Paul, etc

The Bible clearly states that men of God (ministers, pastors) should not be polygamists.
Nothing about it to the rest of us.
However, for peace of mind, better to stick to one woman.

Your assertions are not entirely correct.
It depends on the angle you are looking from though.

Several scriptures spoke against adultery and other sins but not one that i know off spoke against polygamy.
If polygamy was that bad like adultery, Several scriptures would capture it.

This doesn't mean i support polygamy. It's for clarity sake.

Kindly provide a scripture that says that Adultery is same as polygamy.
At least they have different dictionary meanings.

God is same yesterday, today and forever.
God is even more merciful in our dispensation than the men of the old testament.
So what are the things he won't tolerate with us that he tolerated with our patriarchs?

Illogical premise. If they admit that scripture is silent on it then how can it be a sin? Who then made it a sin? People external to the scripture? Either it's a sin or it isn't; in this case, since he says that scripture is silent on it, then it isn't.

Did he say it's a sin? No.

What your point??

So becos i don’t support polygamy... I’m a against God’s view?
.

The Israelites started out in captivity from
Egypt ...

In fact, the egyptaians were afraid of their growing number and decided to kill some of them....but they still came out marrying wives..
Ur assumption is wrong....

captivity did not stop them before when they came from Egypt’.....why assume captivity stopped them later.......the Bible account didn’t cover everything that happened in isreal post-captivity. So don’t assume..

Ur research is flawed...and God never said marry plenty wives in the Bible... so I don’t get why you are trying to paint polygamy as God’s view.

God don’t interfere in all affairs of man....so, Don’t use David and Solomon as standard...they did wrong...according to the law....go read for ur self....part of the law Moses gave them was that a king should not have many wives Deuteronomy 17v17.....

With the exception of bishops, God never gave any clear commands on polygamy in the Bible. Christiandom adopted monogamy as part of the Church tenets and foundational Christian living, based on Adam and Eve. If God never made several wives for Adam, then it stands to godly reason that God never intends for men to marry more than one wife. That is the only explanation I can give.

I totally agree with him. The Bible only instructs the ministers or church workers to marry only one wife but didn't speak against polygamy

apostle Paul gave an advise to a certain christian assembly. It's a pity Christian's now generalised it. Adultery is a sin, polygamy is not.

Yeah polygamy breeds all manner of evil
If you research into the family unit when our forefathers where practicing polygamy. There were hidden bitterness and quarrells amongst the wives and childrens

Example my paternal grandfather married 2 wives and my maternal grandfather married three wives and I know how the troubles it brought

Infact some of the wives went deeply diabolical and affected some of the children even till today

But my parents learnt from it and maintained there monogamy Union over 4 decades now

Polygamy breeds all kinds of evils

Morover women then were not exposed, if it's today's educated and exposed woman you talk say you want marry another, she may even Kil you or waste your life.
Even the men keeping side chicks hide to do it, some not wanting there madam to know
