Is polygamy ok to God?

[trofimus]

Examples from the OT will not help you, because we are living according to the New Testamet and there, in Luke, Christ clearly say it is adultery to have more than one wife.


As AndTheWordWasGOD and Dagallen said, it is very important to define when a marriage starts.

Because virtually all of us had some kind of fornication in our life (or maybe 10x, 20x....), if we are supposed to be with the first girl we were "in a relationship" with, all next women are adultery, no matter what paper you have.

 

[Dagallen]

I meant heavenly as in Christ marrying the Church. I know people get aggravated by we ladies and gentlemen who feel strongly that polygamy is a perversion. It's not only because it is very degrading to the women involved, but it also perverts the picture of what the relationship between Christ and His Church is.

I personally don't support having more than one wife, I believe it is adultery.

 

[trofimus]

We do not have to "only believe it personally", it said very clearly.

"Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
Luke 16:18

Anyone who marries another woman commits adultery.

This would be impossible if polygamy was allowed.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

there is 0 scripture pointing to it being ok

but much scripture pointing against it


and ive already seen people grossly misunderstanding context to a point they either hate God or havent truely read the bible....

ill point fingers and lay out context if i see it again

i may even report you for being so heretical
...
absolutely disgusting

David took several women and married them and it was not a sin, when David took a married woman then he committed adultery. This may sound strange, but in the OT a married man could take another woman as long as she was not married, adultery was mostly a man taking a married woman.

So I'm a married man now, but from what I'm hearing you say, if I take an unmarried woman then its not a sin today? I am an Elder in my church and one of the qualifications is that I must be a husband of one wife. He may disqualify me to have more then one wife.

Its Luke 16:18 what disqualifies you and everybody else, too.

It also disqualifies second marriages.

[h=1]Luke 16:18New International Version (NIV)[/h][FONT=&quot]18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

What happens if the man doesn't divorce his wife, but takes another woman and makes her his second wife?[/FONT]

The same thing, logically.

Christ is saying that divorce does not exist. Therefore the second wife is adultery, even when we have a paper that we are divorced. We are not.

The man who divorces and marries another commits adultery because he still have the first wife in the eyes of God.

 

[valiant]

When asked concerning divorce Jesus said, 'From THE BEGINNING it was not so' (Matth 19.8). And He illustrated it from the one man and the one woman becoming one flesh. 'They two have become one flesh'.

Clearly His idea was of a male and female coming together and becoming one flesh. Thus He condemns all polygamy FROM THE BEGINNING. Abraham, David, and whoever, all are condemned by God in this regard.


He allowed them to have more than one wife because of the customs of their day, but it was not pleasing to Him, and it is noteworthy that all suffered in their families because of it.

Hi everyone!

I honestly think polygamy wouldn't be good for anyone and it isn't God's will. (I'd never share my husband )

What's your opinion?

Three men standing before God. One has married 3 wives. One has married only 1 wife.
And one has married and divorced 1 wife and remarried another wife.

Which one will be accepted by God?

When you answer this question then you should know what is the truth.

My question would be, if a man has 5 wives, he is guilty of adultery 4 out of 5 marriages, so he ask for forgiveness and God forgives, does the man still keep all wives or does he divorce 4 wives and stay with the first wife ?

 

[FGT]

My question would be, if a man has 5 wives, he is guilty of adultery 4 out of 5 marriages?

Not if God joined them together.
If you are married to your 1 wife and God did not join you together
then you are guilty of fornication.

 

[FGT]

Two men standing before God.
One was joined to his wife by God.
One was joined with his wife by man.

Which one will be accepted by God?

When you answer this question then you should know what is the truth.

 

[Dagallen]

Not if God joined them together.
If you are married to your 1 wife and God did not join you together
then you are guilty of fornication.

Let me see,are you saying that if I made a choice on my own and got married, I would be guilty of formication because God didn't make the choice for me but I made it on my own ?

 

[FGT]

Let me see,are you saying that if I made a choice on my own and got married, I would be guilty of formication because God didn't make the choice for me but I made it on my own ?

I am saying if you married someone out of the will of God...
more than likely it is not God that joined you and your wife together.
Or bless your marriage.

Now can you accept it?

That out of the will of God receives not the blessing of God?

So how would you know if it was God's will or not ?

 

[FGT]

That is like asking me how do I know if God is my Father or not.

I cannot teach it to you. You have to be given it by God.

A person with no answer can not teach concerning the will of God, you have no answer, interesting but yet you try to teach.

This will validate that to which I said to you...
If you will receive it.

1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you,
and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

It's really very simple to answer, Gods will is that we as believers in one God, should not marry anyone who makes God more than one God but marry someone who believes in one God, marry someone of the same belief, it's just that simple.
