MARRY TWO WIVES AS A CHRISTIAN AND NOTHING IS WRONG? - Abel Damina

[@ngunyimwangi]

Once you are born again,the hardening of the heart is removed,so you go back to factory settings which is one man,one wife.

[@GuitarLover-gy9qw]

Is it now? How do we have such horrible people in church?

[@fairtalk5674]

If hardness of the heart is removed, sin would be gone from the believer and one would not need to receive God's instruction or commands more than once! One would not labour so hard to please God and not be fleshly minded or induced. The hardened heart cannot be done away with until the perfection of all things. If it could, on being born again, one would in a matter of days or even instantly become perfect. Nothing in this existence can ever be the way it was until the restoration of all things. No one even knows or can fully know how things really were. All the knowledge and experience we have today is tainted. We are polluted by the sin in the environment and all that is of the Adamic creation- a creation under the sentence of death! There are many things God wants to say to us that we cannot receive because of the hardness of heart; this is why we know ONLY in part and see very DIMLY as in a shaded glass. Marriage is a cultural thing. We can argue that those that Timothy and Titus were to appoint were those with traits and personal circumstances most likely to succeed in leadership given the amount of work leadership demanded. These churches were immature churches that ranged from 6 months to 2years or so. Paul would have chosen only the unmarried, those gifted like himself but there were not many. We can argue that Singlehood may actually make the best leaders...Jesus, Paul, Timothy, Titus... We must still make Christian leaders in localities and cultures where the average wife count is 2 to 3 wives! Consider what we may write in a letter to a missionary like Timothy in such a locality!! This is what is important: moral and ethical virtues and the availability to serve. Truth be told, the moral and ethical virtues were what the unbelievers considered excellent- they were not of Christian composition!

​​@@thomehis5975So you want him to specifically say it before you believe abi? He said it in Multiple occasions. Jesus even spoke about it indirectly while addressing divorce. He said" if any man divorces his wife and marries another he commits adultery". This means that what God has put together no man can separate. So in God's eye although divorced you are still married. That is why Jesus is against divorce. So now what if the man already has a wife and marries another? It means the same thing. And note anything that's Go's against God's will is a sin. His original plan was for Man to have one wife like he did for Adam. How many wife's did you think Abraham, Isaac, Moses had? Just one. Polygamy is an old covenant practice my brother. The people of old were ignorant about it but now that you know what God's initials plan is through Jesus our Lord, do you still need more proof.

None married more than one wife intentionally!! Abraham never married two wives intentionally one was his wife who forced him to be his maid which was later sent away the other was after the death of his wife Sarah ,Jacob was tricked by his father in-law after working for seven years he was given who he never liked ,then king David committed adultery which God was angry with him for until mercy was given!! None of them was giving permission to marry more than one wife and if you say Solomon you saw how his life later went !!there is no peace in polygamy

[@flamingfiremediaa]

Abraham did not have a second wife. When hagai went to fetch water. The angel of God appeared unto her, called her, the maid servant of Sarah. The heaven did not recognize any second woman as the second wife. Heaven recognized them as slaves. Likewise about Jacob. The promise of God for Jacob is to bring forth fruits out of Leah, God's preference for Jacob is Leah to bring out Judah, but Jacob's intentions are Rachel, it became di-vision. Issac has only one wife, but Jacob was trying to take wives to see his father. One died on the way, because from the beginning, God made them male and friends, not male and two females. King David's matter is quite different. The signatory and legal wife of David is Michal, the other are slaves. In the scriptures, Abigail, was known as the wife of Nabal, the son of belila.. the children of all the wives are for the man, but the other maiden known as wives, are slaves, called by the nomination of heaven.

[@abdulkuku7036]

From Adam to Methuselah (Methushael), the original law was kept wholeheartedly. Lamech was the first who dared to reverse the order of GOD by introducing polygamy, and from him, it has been retained, practiced, and defended to the present day. Unwarranted desires commonly produce irregular endeavours. If our wishes are not kept in submission to GOD's providence, our pursuits will scarcely be kept under the restraints of HIS precepts. Certainly, it must not be so now, Christ has reduced this matter to the first institution and makes the marriage union to be between one man and one woman only. Why? For the raising up of a godly seed (GEN. 2:24; PRO. 5:15-20; MAL. 2:13-15). GOD bless you

This portion of the scriptures talks about the duty of masters towards their maid-servant. Read verse 1, 2 of that scriptures, Exodus chapter 21, and start again from verse 8 to 11. The manner of doing a thing enters into the morality of it. Evil manners give birth to good laws. GOD gave Moses these statutes in general by which to determine particular cases, which likewise he must apply to other like cases that might happen, which, falling under the same reason, fell under the same rule. If you ask me sir, I'm still wondering why GOD in HIS infinite wisdom created male and female without pluralizing any of the sexes.

Jesus was referring to the fact that in the beginning, divorce was not part of the plan. That was not a reference to polygamy. Polygamy was used as a means of protecting a lot of women, like Ruth, who would have no social protection if they remained single... It was not about the lusts of men, as is often dishonestly purported... Men actually took on more responsibility than was convenient. If Adam and Eve were the perfect example, then we need to omit Isaiah 51:1-3, and also couples should have the same number of children they had etc etc. God never said that monogamy was his " standard" . Has nothing to do with evangelism ....

You just mention scriptures and nobody bordered to check. Isaiah 51: 1-3 has NO single connection with what is being discussed here. Know this that before Pastor would say a thing in public space, he has done his home work. He has read the Bible back to back . He is a teacher and not some pastors preaching their emotions. God's mind for ALL Israel is that they should ALL be priest and there are qualifications for priests. But because of Man's hardened heart, they were allowed to do what they did. ALL Believers today are God's priests. Pst mention Jesus' response as an example to tell you what has happened to man " Hardness of the heart" and this is the state in which every other decisions were taken. YOU NEED TO STUDY THE WHOLE BIBLE TO KNOW WHAT IS AND WHAT IS NOT. But the born again Man has been given a new heart. He has the spirit of God in him as such he can and should obey God. One Man, One Wife is God's standard for believers and we believers don't have a problem in Obeying that. Unbelievers have problem with it because their hearts are hardened.

My point was that , never anywhere in the Scriptures were Adama and Eve ever cited or commended as an example or a model to humanity. Jesus only mentioned them in Matthew 19 to illustrate that God intends for marriages to be permanent, and will not wilfully separate a husband and wife...

If he wants something done or not, he is clear about it. Period.

[@andrewmusa6852]

Dis issue of marriage on earth is not by force or choice.Jesus said there people like in Matt.19.12 Some, from birth seemingly, never give marriage a thought. Others never get asked--or accepted. And some decide not to get married for kingdom reasons. But if you're capable of growing into the largeness of marriage, do it." (MSB) I advise also read Math 19:1-12. Carefully. We will all have a better understanding without argument on ignorance 🤔

[@peteregwufx]

HE SAID THE BIBLE SAID A BISHOP MUST BE THE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE. HE SAID A BISHOP IS ONE CALLED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL AND THAT ALL BELIEVERS ARE CALLED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL. CONSEQUENTLY ALL BELIEVERS WHO ARE TRUE CHRISTIANS ARE TO MARRY ONE WIFE. WHOEVER POSTED THIS VIDEO AND CAPTION YOU ARE LYING, BETTER REPENT.

[@Ike-un6mc]

A flip side is that if a man becomes a Christ follower and had multiple wives before he became one he shouldn't really be divorcing any of his wives but evangelise his family, lead them as a shepherd of Yeshua the Messiah. Mount Zion Films have an interesting film on this very topic worth a watch. It also speaks to what is termed the perfect will of God and the permissive will of God.

[@princeoludareakintola5758]

“One man, one wife” is not a Bible command. Jesus did not marry, Apostle Paul Did not marry and the Pope and Catholic Priest today don’t marry. On the other hand Abraham, Jacob, David etc married multiple wives and they are still regarded as father’s of faith today! Many people point to the Apostle Paul’s statement in 1 Timothy 3:2-5 “An overseer, then, must be above reproach, *the husband of one wife*, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. - As the basis for “one man, one wife” *But a careful reading will show that Paul was only giving the criteria for people that will be appointed as Evangelist!*, Its like if there is a directive that to be drafted into the military, you have to be at least 6 feet in height, does that mean all humans are 6 feet??? Of course not. It only shows that height varies, so, to be a military man, you have to be at least 6 feet. In the same way, Paul’s statement that an evangelist must be husband of one wife, only shows that there are Christians in the Church that have more than one wife!!!

[@MaxiDev-j2z]

I love Damina..."men were allowed", who allowed them? And who is not a "Bishop" and who is? God is Alpha and Omega, marriage is an example of the Kingdom of God it takes wisdom to answer that question so you wont mislead both the Bishops and non-bishops. Jesus Christ never said it a sin to marry two wives and so Damina never give a direct answer to that. Is it a Sin to marry two wives as a believer? Nobody ever lived on earth has answered that question correctly until the end of time. I love Damina he swiftly remixed Jesus Christ answer.

[@robbylex13]

"The hardness of one's heart" the context was concerning divorce, and not about polygamy.... Not an honest answer .... Monogamy rather produces more divorces ... No Scripture says " Men were "allowed" to have more than one wife ... Isaac was the only patriarch that was monogamous. And with him it could be more likely due to his phlegmatic nature, than as a matter of principle

[@limatglobaltemp7181]

You are misquoting the Bible and causing confusion. What Jesus addressed in that reference was divorce, not polygamy. Moses did not for hardness of their hearts say they could marry more than one wife. They could put their wives away at will and marry another. That is not polygamy. But Jesus now said you could only divorce your wife on one condition, adultery.

[@walepawl4696]

Which part of the Bible did he misquote?

[@transahabagroup458]

Baba Abel the Bible did not condemn polygamy

[@geraldmahiagu]

He never said Bible condemned polygamy

[@ekpedemendifon4902]

If the Bible does not condemn Polygamy, then why is it recommending one man one wife for it's leaders- by saying a bishop(who you will agree is a leader) MUST be the husband of one wife? If God is so so happy with Polygamy and knows it's the very best pattern of marriage for His human creatures, why wouldn't He inspire one of His messengers to advice that His leaders(those He has appointed to lead His people in the church and be an example to them) should practice that same, "good, excellent and perfect" polygamy? Why will God opt for monogamy when it came to counseling His leaders on which marriage pattern to follow? Knowing very well that as leaders, the followers will look up to them and follow in their footsteps (as we all know that ppl tend to copy those they look up to as leaders and models)...? So why would God approve monogamy as the marriage practice when advising His new testament leaders, and not polygamy even though He permitted Polygamy for His old testament leaders in the past? Can it be that God knowing the inflection that leaders can have on followers, intended for the outcome to be monogamy for everybody who will look up to these leaders and copy their marriage lifestyles? Highly likely. So would you then say that God has not condemned polygamy codedly...? Of course He has. It's like you standing before God now as Paul...you want to know His thoughts on which marriage pattern the newly appointed bishops, deacons and elders of the church should follow, so that you can advice the young pastors under you, and they in turn will pass the information to their church members... So you got an audience with God, and you asked Him the question: "Father God, thank You for the new souls won from among the gentiles into Your kingdom...Many of them are growing so we'll in the faith and even aspiring to lead others. I am a little bothered in the area of marriage... A lot of them are young men, and coming out from a culture that supports and practices multiple wives to one man, I want to know Your stand Sir. What do I counsel them as Your standard and mind to pursue when they're considering marriage? Should they follow the ways of their different culture, or the pattern set in my culture as a Jewish/he rew man, or which one Father? Then God speaks: "Any man desiring to be leader among my people desires a good and noble work. Such a leader MUST BE THE HUSBAND OF ONE WOMAN....amongst other noble qualities" Would you hear this from God, and then walk away saying oh! Polygamy isn't condemned, it's still a thing with God? Like You just heard God literally SNUB Polygamy by not even dignifying it with a mention, and you walk away thinking..."The Bible NEVER CONDEMN POLYGAMY...!???! Some of you, will learn too late. But I don't pray for it for you.

He didn't answer the question using the scriptures. No where does it suggest in the Bible that God's original intent for his creation (man) was monogamy nor polygamy. On the contrary, it suggests polygamy than monogamy. However, the original intent of God is marriage for life. From the begining and till now it was marriage for life but for the hardness of man's heart, provision was made for putting away (divorce or annulment)

@@vincentsolomon7759 Law of Moses vs God's law??? I am aware of some of those theological jagons for the purpose of having one's proposition coherent with scripture. So the laws of Moses isn't God's law? God's law (Torah) contains God's laws given to Moses and Moses conveyed it to the people and the people understands it as the laws of Moses as communicated to them but originated from God. God's Covenant with His people is 'cut' by the people accepting God's torah (the ten commandments, ordinances and judgments). The Law of God constitute the three: the commandments, the ordinances and judgments. Or is the law of Moses from the devil? Or do you insinuate that the laws of Moses were of Moses' own wisdom as Paul will say in 1Corinthians 7:12 "But to the rest speak I, NOT THE LORDD..."? Can you give me scriptures that even suggests strictly God commands monogamy, I will appreciate it since I DON'T NOW SCRIPTURES AT ALL?
