I am not your Master, Lord and King but Jesus of Nazareth should be!

I never called you master or anything.

When talking about marriage he referred to the standard God set in the garden of Eden as the perfect setting for marriage:

“Have you not read that the one 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

Ok, so does it now mean that he outrightly condemned polygamy? Of course we all know that God created male and female in the garden of Eden because that was his grand plan, not necessarily meaning the polygamy is sin and the reason the question was asked was because the Jews were trying to trap Jesus with the question of resurrection

It is the TWO that can become one flesh as they both agree on terms and conditions of staying together. Whatever makes any of the party think of bringing another person into the marriage is what Jesus called EVIL:

So if those two later agree to add one more person to their midst, does it make them sinner.

“All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must do to them. This, in fact, is what the Law and the Prophets mean" Matthew 7:12

According to Jesus Christ of Nazareth if you will not tolerate rivalry then don't get a rival for the woman you married and promised to stay with her till death do the parting!

Ok,what if she asked you to marry another woman?

“‘You must not take a woman in addition to her sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while her sister is alive" Leviticus 18:18

Your wife is your Christian sister so marrying another Christian sister while she's still alive is what Sir? Matthew 7:12

If my wife is my christian sister,then have I no committed incest by marrying my sister, and where in the bible did you get that statement from

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

Broveens42:
I'm highly disappointed at your response. I was expecting a strong response to op's post about the Bible supporting polygamy

MaxInDHouse:
Polygamy before Christ is not a sin because the Son of God has not come to declare God's judgment regarding everlasting life.
But after Jesus' mission anyone who stubbornly turn against Jesus' order is on his/her own! John 3:16-18

MaxInDHouse:
The mistake most Bible readers do make is thinking the Mosaic laws has anything to do with them.
Before God gave Moses those laws He (God) told the Israelites:

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. Exodus 19:5-6

So the laws were given (not to any other people) but only the Israelites!

But afterwards God told Moses:

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Deuteronomy 18:18-19

Here God is telling the same people that this laws will only guide them until the coming of another prophet who will teach them something of higher value than what Moses gave them. Apostle Peter confirmed that Jesus of Nazareth is the prophet God was talking about! Act 3:22
By the time Jesus arrived in Israel the Mosaic laws were about to be kept aside as the mirror through which they're able to see their sinful nature and an evidence that they need a healer. But the Israelites thought the law is everything they needed that's why Jesus told them:

[b]"You will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am the one, you will die in your sins.” 25 So

Please show me where any prophet called himself ...the way,the truth and the life.

@second bold..escapist as usual.

Nigerians await visas to join Ukraine war
However, while the Nigerian government was making plans to evacuate over 5,000 of its citizens stranded in Ukraine, over 100 Nigerians are awaiting visas to travel from Nigeria to Ukraine to join the war and fight against Russian belligerents having registered at the Ukrainian Embassy in Nigeria.

Kobojunkie:
I see at least one lie to your claim there. Your Bible is not the Word of God. Only your Pastors and mogs feed you that lie.

Don't pretend to know what all Christians belief... instead focus on knowing the Truth of Jesus Christ and understanding His Truth from every other lie out there.

ChocolateWine:
You did it for your parents.

Theophilus might be doing it for his fans or money.

If you have nothing to gain would still serve God?

Well the right attitude is he deserves to be worshipped, good or bad, cos he created us.
If this mental attitude dwell in us, we'd last long.

Greatzeus:
So what did you think the dream meant? You should have said something about it to buttress your point.
Personally I don't see anything in the dream that ain't already obvious today as far as churches are concerned. That multitude are thronging towards worldliness and vanity or that most preachers go into ministry to make money at the expense of souls? Too obvious.

doggedfighter:
Arrant nonsense

dawnomike:
did you have this dream of you copied it from somewhere?

This has been the question bothering me for long, I remember when all my prayers where based on God's kingdom and His purposes on earth so much that I wouldn't even care praying for my own needs but since I left my parents house I can count how many times I went to evangelis with my two hands.

Each time I listen to gospel ministers like Theophilus singing, it makes me remember how exactly I started with such zeal and I wonder how they managed to keep the fire burning in their secret alter of prayer.

God help me.

She served me akara without bread, so I dumped her ass

It's a huge disrespect to akara to serve it without bread
