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
this is Paul's opinion and advice to the corinthians

In the Bible, there are instances of individuals having multiple wives, particularly in the Old Testament. However, it's important to note that the Bible does not explicitly endorse or condemn polygamy. Instead, it records various accounts of individuals who engaged in polygamous relationships, such as King Solomon, who famously had many wives.

While polygamy was culturally accepted in some ancient societies, the New Testament emphasizes the importance of monogamous marriage. For example, in the New Testament, Jesus referred to the divine plan for marriage as being between one man and one woman, citing the Genesis account.

Ultimately, interpretations of biblical teachings on marriage vary among different religious traditions and individuals.

This is misleading especially to those that don't read the bible. If you want to quote a bible verse, quote it verbatim, don't put it the way you understood it, which might be wrong after all.

You Christians are terrible people. The God of Israel put a seal on His Prophets and visions about 1900 Years ago - Daniel 9 vs 24 - at the close of His Last Days. You lot pretend you believe all that is declared in the book yet here you are insinuating the God of Israel lied and this man's father was in fact one of His prophets. Why are your minds this broken? undecided

You're quoting the Bible wrongly.

It never says polygamy is unlawful or even gives a hint to it.

By all intents argue and discuss but have great fear and reverence for the word of God.

A Warning - Revelations 22

18 [a]For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, [b]God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God[c] shall take away his part from the [d]Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.


There is no such reference to what you are saying in 1 Corinthians 7. You cannot use assumptive conjecture that is self birthed it must be stated clearly in scripture.

Abraham and Moses had more than one wife. Isaac was not a prophet. But, of course, there were prophets with one wife. The fact, however, is that most of them had more than one.

So what does let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband mean to you?

Literal speaking 🗣️ it doesn't mean a number it's a principle of marriage, every man should have his wife ,it doesn't negate wives.

Like I should send you some dollars, perfect teaching!👑
thesicilian:

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 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

Anyone that wants to marry 100 wives should please go ahead, it wouldn't change the fact that the Bible is clear on it being One man, one wife.
Stop dodging question. Where in the Bible did Jesus asked you to Marry one wife and one husband? Drop fact and not what other prophet wrote in your bible. Those David, Abraham, Solomon that married many wives in your bible, did God condemned or punished them? You’re not to marry 2 wives but una get almost 5 to 6 girlfriends. Dey play.

The Law that God gave the Israelites stipulated that Kings must have only one wife.

Even though God permitted polygamy, it was never his will. When he made a wife for Adam he made only one.

As a Christian though, the standard is one man one wife.

The Bible clearly stipulates this as a requirement for those who are overseers or leaders.

If the leader of a so-called Christian church is verifiably polygamous, then it simply means that he was unfit to lead.

Its very simple and clear.

It also makes him adulterous by bible standards.

Jesus Christ didn't need to do any of that since it all had nothing to do with His Kingdom. He made it abundantly clear in His Gospel when He declared that your marriage has to do with the World of men and not the Kingdom of God - Luke 20 vs 34 - 36. He equally said that where it concerns His Kingdom it is only the men and women who choose to live as Eunuchs that are blessed by God. Even women who have children are told to cry for themselves and their children. When you claim to believe in the Bible as you lot like you, at least start by believing all of what your supposed savior proclaimed. undecided

That is because those who read it are largely ignorant.

They are also self-serving. Otherwise they would always consider everything in the Bible in its appropriate context

Modern men style of polygamy differs, they want a woman who can take care of herself so he can go ahead and marry another one with the peanut he's contributing at home. This is what Yul Edochie wanted to do to his breadwinner wife (as confirmed by Yul's father Pete Edochie) .

How can a woman be responsible for more than 85% of the success of the home and you dare want to add another wife and make her fund your polygamous life? Yul hit head for ground sha.


Aproko. Radio without battery.
Shut up your buccal cavity. As if you are a member of yul edochie's household to be able to establish who the breadwinner was and with how much percentage.

Modern societies’ propagation of monogamy has nothing to do with religion or morality. It’s purely for inheritance. Inheritance is complicated in polygamy. It’s simpler with monogamy. Marriage means more to them than to us who see it as coming together to make children. For them it’s more of uniting families and connecting wealth that’s why court marriage is what they do. Bigamy is a serious crime in the West, not because God will get angry but because you can’t have a contract for the transfer of inheritance between more than one person at any given time.
