Then you thought you understand what is written ryt? Spiritual insight and understanding of the scripture is the work of the Holy Spirit. Even by mere human understanding in that I Corinthians 7:2, based on your assertion, why don't Bible say let every woman have her own husbands and every man have his own wives. Why is it that the scripture did not pluralize it? This is just a simple English. You do understand that the Bible was not originally written in English, right? |

The issue is a sensitive one. I did an extensive research on this matter and realise that , polygamy was never condemned in the bible. It is only advised to stick to one to avoid issues. But the one new generation Christians carry it ehn, you will think it is next to murder. Exactly. Most of the arguments for polygamy are more of sentimental than spiritual |

Threedoorsdown: I've not seen any single benefit of cultism
Perhaps it's just a means to quench the blood thirsts of these beasts Off the top of my head these are some of the benefits of being in a cult : 1. Gives you a sense of belonging and purpose 2. Protection from other criminals and sometimes the law 3. "Connections" both in the university and outside world, which can be a fast track to huge financial success 4. Social benefits, you're always surrounded by friends who are willing to die for you, literally and figuratively. However none of these reasons are enough to account for the lives lost, robberies, and mental illness that come along with it. I STRONGLY CONDEMN CULTISM IN ALL ITS RAMIFICATIONS 5 Likes 1 Share |

mokwechineme: I'm from Anambra and mine is Peter Obi followed by Chris Ngige. It's really sad that Obi successors have greatly stalled the developmental strides started by Ngige, sustained and taken to unimaginable level by the Obi's administration.
It's terribly sad Anambra after Obiano's carefree administration ended up in the hands of a very deluded personality like Soludo who believes he knows more than knowledge itself.
It's very sickening and ridiculous at the same time Soludo promising to make Anambra Dubai/Taiwan of Africa. Even if he hadn't been to any of those countries, atleast he can watch videos available everywhere of Dubai and Taiwan because the substandard roads he has been constructing on snail's pace don't come anywhere close to the ones constructed in neighboring states not to talk of Dubai or Taiwan.

We are always assuming in Africa that David, Abraham and jacob are white people but they were our ancestors. Every evidence points to the fact that christianity was repackaged and sold to us after painting all the icons in the bible white. Christianty originated from Africa and yes our ancestors starting from Adam are all polygamists...that in my opinion does not mean polygamist is good neither is it evil as we were made to believe. It just shows that we have evolved and we know better.
However, I don't know any prophet in the bible that is polygamist even the Oshofa's son did not give any example Moses had 2 wives. |

Good evening Sir
All this lexical ambiguity makes no sense In that passage, Paul recommended celibacy And then One Man, one wife if you cannot practice celibacy
However Paul never said polygamy was sin Its as simple as that That's my point. And according to the Bible, sin is a transgression of the law. It therefore means that where there's no law against something, there's also no sin as well. |

Goodlady:
Anyman doing polygamy is doing to v more harem. We don't like competition and it should be respected. What I v observed is that most polygamous men don't fulfill their duties effectively. One wife, one problem, one focus. More wives, more problems. Even some monogamous men don't fulfil their obligations. Our fathers had many wives and managed their homes effectively. |

God1000:
Okay, maybe you should read Ephesians 5:31 for more clarification It's the same story bro. The Bible does not condemn polygamy. Polygamy is the teaching of man. If it was that important, Jesus would have taught about it. A lot of the disciples taught what they thought was right, not what Jesus taught them. At a point (Acts 10) God had to personally come down from heaven and correct Peter about the issue of unclean meat and refusing to preach to the gentiles. What makes polygamy a sin? That a man pays the bride price of 2 or 3 women according to tradition, before taking her home with the consent of her parents, why should there be any law against that? Is that not what we were practising before the white man came? Are you saying all our ancestors who practised polygamy will go to hell? But that David, Abraham, Jacob etc will all be in heaven? What kind of logic is that? If you're going to convince me that polygamy is a sin, you'll have to show me where it was expressly condemned. 144 Likes 16 Shares |

God1000: first Corinthians chapter 7
So what does let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband mean to you? We didn't attend the same school, I have my own school that I attended, and you have yours. So if I say I have my own school I attended, does that mean I was the only one in the school? If I tell my friends I can't stay here, I'm going back to my own house, does that mean I'm the only one who lives in the house? Come to think of it, "my own house" doesn't even mean I own the house, it just implies that I have a legal right to use the house. So 40 people can call a house their own house as long as they're legal occupants of the house. That's the lexical ambiguity I'm talking about. Jesus never condemned polygamy, most of those in the bible who seemed to condemn it were the overzealous converts who were not even with jesus and tended to apply their personal beliefs in most of their teachings. Some of the greatest icons in the Bible were polygamists, such as Abraham, Solomon, David etc And they're all already in heaven while you are here talking about unimportant things like polygamy instead of focusing on the actual teachings of christ like repentance, forgiveness, love etc 202 Likes 23 Shares |

God1000: His father married 13 wives with 53 children, so this is not surprising coming from him.
1 Corinthians 7 and states that polygamy is unlawful; and that one man is to have but one wife, and to keep to her; and that one woman is to have but one husband, and to keep to him and the wife only has a power over the husband's body, a right to it, and may claim the use of it: this power over There is no where in the whole of 1 Corinthians 7 that it is mentioned one man is to have one wife. I think the issue is that you are either deliberately or ignorantly misinterpreting the lexical ambiguity in 1 Corinthians 7:2 [KJV] which states that: 1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
