Frankiss44:



You didn't even say anything.. All what you quoted didn't say anything about polygamy... Because a man can marry a new wife without sending the first one away

pls can a woman marry another husband if d first husband is still alive? ?
So a man has more priviledge dan a woman.!!!!
Bro d bitter truth is dat we will judge irrespective of our sex. We are d same with women in front of d ALMIGHTY.

Polygamy was not specifically stated as sin in the bible but lets take a look at some Biblical references which to me makes polygamy unacceptable to GOD making it a sin.

In Matt. 19:4 we are told by Jesus that God created one “male and [one] female” and joined them in marriage. Mark 10:6-8:"But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female.' 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 'and the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
The two as one is the pattern on how marriage was to be conducted from the start. NOT three or four as one.

Eve was taken from Adams body and given back to him as his wife (singular) showing God’s approval of what the marriage union is to be like. God always spoke of man's “wife,” as singular, not wives. Notice it also states one father one mother.

It wasn’t until sin made man fall (Gen. 4:23) that polygamy occurs. Cain was cursed, Lamech is a descendent of Cain and the first to practice polygamy. The first time polygamous relationship is found in the Bible is with a thriving rebellious society in sin; when a murderer named “Lamech [a descendant of Cain] took for himself two wives” (Gen.4:19, 23).

The same Godly pattern of one man and one wife is lived by Noah. At the time of the Ark (Gen. 7:7), Noah took his one wife into the ark, all his son’s took one wife; God called Noah’s family righteous and pure. If polygamy were ordained of God, it would have made sense that Noah and his sons would have taken additional wives with them to repopulate the earth faster from the cataclysm.

But if we remove human philosophy,i still maintain that there is no part in the bible that specifically states that polygamy is a sin but i will not advice anyman to indulge in it due to its ugly complexities.

mattew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Mark10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Same applies to man. Polygamy is adultry

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell
your possessions and give to the poor, and you will
have treasure in heaven...Mathew 19 vs 21.
Jesus also talk about it wen he was criticizing d pharisees mathew 23 vs 23....also read..Luk e 18 vs 12
both old testament and new testament are dey written tru d inspiration of holy spirit?? or if u are reading Bible, did u read only new testament
tithe might not be compulsory for you
but GOD commanded it.....whatever God said changeth not......
besides..... God dont really need our money.... u giving it is showing dat u realized he is d one DAT provide for u
and he will bless you more

21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 21:4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
I give offerings in church, and to ppl dat lack. Genueinly and from my heart. Not coerced tithe, d pharisee pay tithe but dis woman gave all what she has humbly, and with pure heart.
20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Jolliano:


Firstly, Baptism does not always have to be in a Sea. Acts 8:38.

Secondly, Baptism is done by water and the Person receives the Holy Spirit. Jesus was baptised by water and at the moment of his rising from the water, a great event occured.

The same event that occurred at the Transfiguration. That shows that Baptism by water is the Baptism. The Holy Spirit is received at Baptism.

Your Baptism by Holy Spirit was not performed or taught by the apostles.

Read 1 Peter 3:20-21.[/quote][/quote][/quote][/quote]
Holy spirit received at baptism??
When peter went to d house Cornelius did he baptize dem with water
Act 10vs 44 and when peter was speaking d word d holy spirit poured on the dose who heard d message.
Vs 47 can anyone keep dis ppl from being baptized with water??
They have received d holy spirit just have we had.
. Baptism is what john d baptist preached (repentance) and it is a traditon of d jews. Now when jesus have come, he need to fulfill it. Cos no one is saved untill d death of christ. And paul even said i have not come to baptize but to preach d gospel.
He even rebuked apollos. Act 19, apollos was baptize but he never had d holy spirit 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 19:5( When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Bro water baptism is in name of john while being baptized in the name of jesus christ is being immersed(baptised) with d holy ghost

sirade:


Mr Uboma go and read Act 10. You will see the baptism of Cornelius and his households by Peter.
There was no discrimination between the adults and infants.
Everyone was baptized.

Mr Uboma I believe you have learned something new.

were baptised with water
No but with holy ghost.
Or did which sea did Peter took dem to
Pls read act 10vs 48

bro, go and read Malachi 3 vs 10.....we can rob God
tithes and offerings is for your own good
in as much u sow it where it will germinate
dere are some natural laws u can't avoid
giving is living..... give and it shall be given to u....
apostle Paul made mention of it

give and it shall b given unto u?? Where did paul mentioned it
And did he say tithe
D bible says dere is blessing in giving.
To clarify all things can u pls make a bible reference dat speaks about tithe in d new testatement, or where jesus and d apostle make it a criteria dat without paying tithe even thoug u are saved u will go to hell.

Lordgel:
Wouldnt it be better to start paying your tithes before it is too late? a robber cannot make heaven (Malachi 3:8

u never answerd my question? ?
Where from new testament dem mention tithe
Which of d apostle told or preached dat failing to pay tithe will not allow u to make heaven..
Or did jesus ever said even though u are saved and u dont pay tithe, u wont make heavven, becos u are robbing me.
Can some one even rob God,??
God does not need ur money, nor ur food.

Tithe
How is not paying tithe a sin,
Which disciple of christ spoke about tithe.?? ?

Prophetudueme, rabzy, boomark, dolphinheart and co, if truly according to u ppl jesus resurected in flesh and spirit. What can be said of enoch gen 5vs 24 and elijah 2kings 2vs 11.
