JobZoneNews:
What happens when he becomes deacon and bishop. Why must he think only about today and not about the future when he probably holds a position in the church.

I support the fact that men who have married two wives before hand should not send them away. They may not hold a position in the church but they can surely be useful in other areas in the body of Christ.

If it happens you get anointed after, still, keep your wives.

Christianity Etc › Christianity And Polygamy by Westerhoffe(op): 1:48pm On Mar 15, 2024

CHRISTIANITY AND POLYGAMY

Did our LORD JESUS CHRIST ever request that a man who is married to more than one wife before he is converted divorce the other wife/wives, leaving only the first one?

NO. Our LORD JESUS CHRIST never said that.

Indeed, our LORD JESUS CHRIST never said this, contrary to what many today are preaching, hereby making several families commit adultery which our LORD JESUS CHRIST warned us against in His teachings.

The Bible indeed says:

Ecclesiastes 9:9 Live joyfully with the 'wife' whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

This perhaps is what many misquoted, hereby concluding that a Christian must never take more than a wife:

Matthew 19:3-6 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

If this be, we all know there are no other genders created by GOD other than male and female. So GOD has only approved that a male marries a female just as GOD had ordained and speculated marriage.

GOD is therefore not against Christians marrying more than one wife. The 'one-man-one-wife' charge given as mentioned in the Bible, which was misquoted by many preachers today was by Paul, unto:

Bishops:

1 Timothy 3:2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

And to Deacons:

1 Timothy 3:12
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

And today, not all Christians are Bishops and/or Deacons.

Because, no minister of GOD will be able to properly control two families under him without getting distracted and even offended, which is mainly due to jealousy and misunderstanding among the respective families, under each wife if they happen not to be united.

If you know you can not cater for, take care of, or train your family properly, 'DO NOT ATTEMPT' to take more than one wife. For, your wife/wives and children need your training, love, care, and attention every wife/wives and children deserve to have and make a loving and peaceful home.

What our LORD JESUS CHRIST spoke against is divorce for no tangible reason except for infidelity.

Matthew 5:31-32 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
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.

Matthew 19:9
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Mark 10:12
And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

For GOD is not against polygamy. If GOD had been against polygamy, He wouldn't have said the following to king David as sent by prophet Nathan:

2 Samuel 12:7-8 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

Where GOD warned about too many wives is this, and it is to kings, and it is for their heart not to turn away from GOD:

Deuteronomy 17:14-18 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

So, there is no place in the Bible where GOD instructs any Christian to never take more than one wife or that he who already has more than one wife to send the others away and retain his first only because he is now converted.

Therefore, never let misleaders mislead you to send away your wife or wives because you're now converted and made a child of GOD. Keep your family intact and fed by GOD'S word and not human self-made doctrines.

And if you have been misled by self-made doctrines to send away your wife/wives because you have been converted and now a Christian, if your wife/wives is/are still within your reach and not married, go and reconcile with her/them. They are yours and belong to you by the right of marriage and matrimony.

And if you're a second wife, never try to divorce your husband because he is now converted or because you're now converted because you're his wife by right of matrimony. Rather serve the LORD with your husband and your family because you all are one and must not be separated by human self-made doctrines.

And to the young man or woman planning to marry, I will never advise you go into polygamy because you may not be able to handle it. Rather, stick to your wife and or husband and raise a happy home. No cheating, underlooking, undermining, or disrespecting one another.

Let those who have been into polygamy already before their conversion keep their family as well. Let no one be forced into adultery because of self-made doctrines.

I hope you understand this though.

There is a reason why women/mothers/wives pray that their marriage be peaceful.

Romance › Re: I've Washed My Hands From Anything Nigerian Girls. by Westerhoffe(m): 8:53pm On Mar 12, 2024

uzomakanaki:
Good day Nairalanders.

What could make a lady date her fiancee's colleague? I'm done with ladies for now. This a bad experience.

I got a job for my now ex fiancee in the organisation where I work. We dated for 2 years. She was posted to a different branch office not far from mine.

A year on the job I began hearing rumours that she's going out with a senior colleague of mine in the same office with me. Those that I heard it from didn't know we were dating.

I confronted her and she denied it. I was not comfortable with her response, and one day she came to spend the weekend with me, I decided to go through her chat, I could not believe what I saw in her chat with this guy in question.

They've gone far to the extent of having sex with themselves which was said in the chat.

The next morning I confronted her with evidences of what I saw in her chat with my colleague, she became furious that I had no right to check her chat, with no sign of remorse. I was broken and at that point ended the relationship.

I've requested for a transfer out of that branch, cos I want to deal with this guy. Cos he's fully aware we were dating and have met us on different occasion outside.

Since the break up with my ex, he has been avoiding me in the office.

I never saw a dirty attitude in her at the early stage of our relationship, I never knew I was ready to marry a full blown LovePeddler who's looking for a platform to sell herself.

But for the guy I'll deal with him.

Guy, save yourself the stress of fighting over that girl.
It's not worth it. I say again, it's not worth it.
Just let the both of them go away from you but never lose guard and be vigilant.
If you do anything to the guy, if he dies in the process, neither of you will have the girl and believe me, she'll jump to the next available dude.

How do u know it's gold?
Firstly gold isn't fetched it's mined from soil, sand stones and rocks. How the hell can she scoop gold along with well water? Gold doesn't float on water. That's just some staged bs for content. If it were true do u think she would make a video?? She would bury herself and her entire family in that well before she ever tells the story. Stop believing internet bs

I didn't want to reply to you, but I think I have to.

I know gold when I see it… OK? And those are pure gold particles, meaning there are a bunch of larger ones down there.
Where do you think gold is gotten from? The skies?

Gold sure doesn't float on water man, but if she is the type that drop-dip the drawing bucket into the well to fill the bucket with water after she let it down there, there is a high possibility the particles are raised and picked by the drawing bucket; or if the well is not so filled with water, she can definitely pick some up with her drawing bucket.

The punch was targeted and delivered promptly.
No one would take that and still maintain a proper stand when the brain receives the, "I want to sleep…" signal.

How a knockout punch works:

Retrospective analysis of boxing knockouts has revealed that they typically are caused by a hook to the side of the jaw which causes a rotation of the head in the horizontal plane. Uppercuts to the chin may also cause unconsciousness, while straight punches to the face are unlikely to do so
