abdullhafar:Don’t mind them. Most of them have multiple girlfriends and sleeping around with different girls even when married. They will be the first to condemn Polygamy. Someone who legally took another wife is now a sinner and someone who’s sleeping around with different women is a saint because he haven’t marry them. Ask them to show you where the Bible condemn polygamy, they will be running around saying God said one man, one wife. They even read the reason and beneath the scripture. They only take the one that Favour’s them. David, Abraham are all strong prophet of God. Infact no prophet married one wife. All took multiple wives and God never condemn it yet they’re even the ones after Gods own heart. But Nigerians that won’t even spell the 5th floor before heaven are here dying on what they don’t know |

Kobojunkie:'And there were in the church at Antioch, prophets and teachers'. Acts 13:1 'After we had been there for several days, a prophet, called Agabus came down'. Acts 21:10 'And he gave some to be apostle, and some prophet'. Ephesians 4:11 You guys are just like to deceiving yourselves. You tend to quote any part of the scriptures that suits your opinion and doctrine while over looking others that are not in tandem with your ideology. How will Christ be the last prophet, when He even promised the coming of the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit that worked in the old prophets? If your denomination hold a belief that there are no more prophets after Christ, that's your own cup of tea. However, the scriptures is the last authority, supercedes any individual or group opinions. Finally, Christ was more than a prophet. He was a fully God , came in human flesh. Ire o. |

thesicilian: Men your sense dey very complete. Personally, I do not have any desire to have more than one wife because of the headaches that polygamy brings. One woman alone is chaos,not to talk of two or three jealous women who will compete with each other and recruite their children to do the same. In fact , it was to avoid this chaos and let the man of God focus on his ministry that Paul advised ministers not marry at all sef. I really like your explanation of the lexical ambiguity and I've learned something on this forum today. 1 Like |

JuanDeDios: i stay where the Bible stays, simple. If the Bible doesn't give what you call a strict construction for prophet, who am i to? Who is a prophet? Was John the baptist a prophet? Was Abraham a prophet? Probably not in the sense that people understand. But God called him a prophet, so why should i say otherwise? When did prophets become the standard for polygamy? Abraham's son was Isaac. If Oshoffa's son thinks he's a prophet because they called his father one. Why should we exclude Isaac the son of prophet Abraham? |

yewit37486: The only verse that actually backs one man one wife came from the mouth of Jesus. When he said Moses permitted you to marry more than one wife because of the hardness of your heart, but it was not so from the beginning. Meaning, polygamy was not God's plan all along. Nevertheless, it is permissible and not a violation of any commands. Therefore it is not a sin in any way shape or form. But, then the argument can then be made that if the original intention of God was monogamy then becoming born again should mean man operates on the original will of God. But then the fact remains that polygamy is not a sin and monogamy is not righteousness. Sin and Righteousness are both independent of both and that is why Jesus said there is no marriage in heaven. Marriage begins and ends here on earth. In heaven we all become single for life. |

thesicilian: Then you thought you understand what is written ryt? Spiritual insight and understanding of the scripture is the work of the Holy Spirit. Even by mere human understanding in that I Corinthians 7:2, based on your assertion, why don't Bible say let every woman have her own husbands and every man have his own wives. Why is it that the scripture did not pluralize it? This is just a simple English. |

Veecruz: Thats the implication of what you said. Jesus never condemned polygamy nor spoke against it. Only paul did. What does that mean to you? |
Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by Veecruz: 8:45am On Apr 29 |
drlateef: I showed you Jesus impliedly did when He Said "do unto others what you wamt done to you". And you want extra wives but you are not going to allow your wife extra husbands like this man https://www.nairaland.com/8075955/husband-stabs-wife-death-over#129680787 So, clearly, if you cannot bear your wife's polygamy, then don't do your own polygamy. |

God1000: Cults and their leaders are always particular about sex and many females that they abuse due to their influence over their followers. They will always twist scriptures to suit their amorous lifestyle. Just like that 7th Arab child bride molester invented a whole new religion so his 6year old bride can be his "wife". This is how you identify false religions. |

"let every husband render unto the wife (not wife or wives but the wife) due benevolence : a.d likewise the wife (not wife and wives) unto the husband (not husband or hisbands) The wife does not own her body, it belongs to the husband (not husbamd or husnands but the husband) and the husband does not his body but the wife.

Caleycash: The correlation is what you do to others should be done to you. So if you can be so lose to leave your wife and cheat with another woman and she stabs you to death, you deserve it. if you feel you don't want her again, divorce and leave!, the truth remains the truth, and a Just judge will swing it goes both ways" |

Ronpet777: Research some more if you truly want to be fair and do justice to this matter. And join us in this thread if you thibk your research is True, because even here no one can show how they can do polygamy without breaking God's Law eg law of adultery, lust, covenant breaking, Lying etc. https://www.nairaland.com/8050679/see-how-polygamist-secretly-changed/3#129688197 |

Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by Kobojunkie: 12:54pm On Apr 29 |
siant:1. Let me play along in this display of ignorance what is in fact written in scripture, for a bit mind you! ▪︎ If we are to believe that Agabus was indeed a prophet chosen and sent by YHWH --- anointed by God --, wouldn't that mean then that starting from David and all through to Jesus Christ, all of the prophets who prophesied that Jesus Christ, the Messiah, would be the last prophet sent by God --- Jesus Christ Himself testified to this --- all lied? ¤ Wouldn't it mean that YWYH, the one who sen5 Jesus Christ, got it all wrong about Jesus Christ being the Messiah or even His Last? ¤ Wouldn't that equally mean you worship Him in vain? 2. And no, I am antireligion since Jesus Christ condemned religion beginning with the religious leaders of His time and their doctrines and traditions which He proclaimed were all lies -- antichrist. Christianity is famously known to be modeled after that very same religion that Jesus Christ condemned and its over 47,000 denominations/sects serve as proof of the many lies it is founded on 3. Saying Jesus Christ is more than a prophet does not reduce the magnitude of the lie you accuse Him of. He proclaimed that not only was John the Baptist the last of the Old Testament prophets sent by His Father, but that He was in fact the one that came down from Heaven from the Father, the last one they had been waiting for. If Jesus Christ was in fact not the last prophet sent -- anointed by YHWH--- then how could he be the Messiah? |

Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by Kobojunkie: 1:11pm On Apr 29 |
bomsilaga:Clearly, that was an opinion stated by Paul. More important than all those are the commandments given by God who instead said those who live as Eunuchs are blessed(both males and females). |

Re: No Prophet Married Only One Wife In The Bible - Olatosho Oshoffa by otipoju(m): 1:48pm On Apr 29 |
Veecruz: That was to the person who will become King of Israel and it also said not to multiply gold and silver to himself.. so by your logic, being rich should be a sin. Paul also recommended christians not to marry at all. I hope you read your Bible well. Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry. But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her . 1st Corinthians vs 7: 8-9. So in your illogical way of thinking. Marriage for a man is a sin...because Paul said so. Context is very important when reading the scriptures. Friendly advice...the person you are talking to spent 5 years of is life in a classroom in a University studying Religion. So you better be sure of of what you are saying. |
