Ok...

ajayikayod:

Yes, absolutely satisfied. U just spoken lik apóstolos epí Nairaland (Apostle on NL) now clarifying stance and errors.

Exo 20:5-6: For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.


its necessary to always take a stand whn d scripture is been used in judging issues. Giving a blanket approval even whn thr ar things to clarify & correct will never help us as Christians. I dont assume ppl know until they clearly explain or they ar tot afterwards.

I dont hav issues wit any posters on NL but whn it relates to d scriptures, it expedient for us to discuss, check its accuracies so dt we mit all learn.

And wat are the commandments of God a christian should follow concerning marriage

Or did it not occur to you that godly offsprings comes from stable marriages and godly homes that are centered on Christ as the foundation

Twisting scriptures to suit yourself

Anyway, only Jesus Christ can tell me otherwise as for mere men Erm? They can keep judging.

Hehehehe..And that Jesus is telling you to go ahead and marry another woman's husband.

If you are a genuine child of God, i can confidently tell you with all humility, that it is the voice of satan and NEVER, the voice of Yashua.

I am not anti polygamy but I would rather stay single than share a man....was just stating the facts.

Don't get it twisted please.

highyo: As long as holiness is concerned, whosoever marry a man that has a wife at home already commited furnication with him, even if she has given her life to Christ, she must leave the man alone and get her own husband, else it's hell.
Also, any children given birth trough this medium are caused. Because, the sins of their parent will affect those children. That's why we must keep begging the lord to forgive us for the sins of our father and mother, look at it, what has a new born baby commited that deserve curse? No its the sins of the parent. And children born out of polygamy are cursed and they need to repent of the sins of their parent.
God hate taking another wife, thats why he deal with the king of egypt when he tried to seize abraham wife. God also hate people who divorces their wife and remarry. Mal2:16 God said I hate divorce
one man and one wife not wives
your first wife is your wife, even if she has not bear you children

Utter crap

Get lost!

Using the word ANTI is a strong term.A fact does not necessary mean it is truth. The truth is wat will Jesus tell you to do.If indeed you are in Him and He is in you.

In days of ignorance,God overlooked, if the said lady did marry as i said in all my post.

You wouldn't advise our single sisters to follow that course of action, would you

How ironic!

Its like saying I'm not anti gayism, but I would rather marry a man than marry a woman....

Never, one husband for one woman.

ok brothers, I understand you now.

rathe than using accusations to intimidate, can you use scripture to exhort

pickabeau1: Ukuts using accusatory words will not pass your point across ....

Humbled is making some points

The scripture you guys are quoting refer to divorce n Moses allowing divorce,,, I see inferences n mathematical postulations wth the monogamy argument

The timothy verse refers to those who wanted to be leaders in the church...correct me if im wrong

i dont know why you people are just reading the word of God like a book written by wole soyinka? Do you even understand what the book of timothy is saying at all?
If you are not fit to be an elder, deacon or overseer, you are not fit to enter the kingdom of God, because we all are ambassador of Christ, and whosoever can not be a deacon,elder etc then can not also preach. Because what will he/she preach, and whosoever fail to preach is not fit for the kingdom of God (Mrk 16:15) because if you fail to be productive, the lord will cut you away and cast you into fire. Faith without work is dead, and you are not faithful if you fail to meet up the standard of a elder, deacon etc
Jesus said except your holiness superseed that of the pharisee and scribe, you cannot enter the kingdom of God. A man with two wife, what will he teach? Of course he will tell you there is nothing wrong to divorce and marry a new wife, you can sleep around with little children, put on trouser and do jerry coil as a man, drink beer and even bring it to church, of course that is what he will teach
tell me, can bad tree produce good fruit?

As pointed out earlier by a poster on ds thread (IN D BEGINING IT WAS NOT SO). Dts d word of Christ, d mind of God and dts wat i stand for.

But if a polygamous unbelieving man got saved today wit all his family members, he is accepted in d beloved wit all dt belongs to him, thou dt mit place a restriction on d level of role he can take in d church. But he is saved and can learn and instruct his family in d way of d Lord.

I differed from d Op whn he wrote (bolded):

As long as holiness is concerned, whosoever marry a man that has a wife at home already commited furnication with him, even if she has given her life to Christ, she must leave the man alone and get her own husband, else it's hell.
Also, any children given birth trough this medium are caused. Because, the sins of their parent will affect those children. That's why we must keep [size=13]begging the lord to forgive us for the sins of our father and mother, look at it, what has a new born baby commited that deserve curse? No its the sins of the parent[/size]. And children born out of polygamy are cursed and they need to repent of the sins of their parent.
God hate taking another wife, thats why he deal with the king of egypt when he tried to seize abraham wife. God also hate people who divorces their wife and remarry. Mal2:16 God said I hate divorce.

Its clear in d scripture dt a child wont carry d sins of his parents except he follows in their ways, hence by partaking of their sins, share d consequence. A man born again today is free from such curses becos he has chosen d way of d Lord, he s been accepted in d Beloved. U CANT BE BLESSED AND BE CURSED AT D SAME TIME.

Exo 20:5-6:visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

D child has a choice, though could be greatly affected by upbringing, yet God will make available all resources to enable him choose LIFE outside whic he owns d consequence of his decisions not his parents.

IN SUMMARY

When he is Blessed in Christ, He is free from Curses.

Stil your inference.. a man is saved by his belief in the blood and confession that Jesus is Lord and died for his or her sins

All inferences

Ok..point noted..Every one is learning here.And we all grow in the level and measure of graces we have.

Correction should always be done in love .Thanks.

Why won't you people studied the word of God with a heart of understanding? When will you stop reading it as a story book? If this is how you understand the word of God, then you are just like the other religion that studied the bible just to condem it.
This is very clear in the bible. Mtw5 Jesus said if you look at a woman or a man lustfully(you are still thinking of taking another wife, you have not even taking a step) you have already commited adultery. Adultery is someone that has married still desire another women.
If thinking of it in your mind is a sin, when what will become taking a step? No matter what, even if he or she has not given birth, you must love her and not marry another
or else you will face God's Judgement
