Topic: Multiple wives are the solution for all relationships | |
---|---|
I wouldn't take on one, much less three more.
I considered one girlfriend at one time extremely lucky on my part. Heck, I never knew four women at the same time, at any one point in my life. And you think its nesisary to have three more??? Just what have you been smoking? |

Is this a religious dogma that is being discussed?

Polygamy is a good solution in some cases, such as the first wife does not give birth or is sick, or the man is very active and one wife does not meet his needs and in the case of wars that lead to a decrease in the number of men.

I am a preacher and have done my research and know for a fact that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene. I also know that marriage is something very important to God. Jesus Christ only has one wife and wants everyone else to only have one wife.

Jesus Christ only has one wife and wants everyone else to only have one wife. I considered just having one girlfriend a stroke of good luck. Too many years of none at all showed me I wasn't going to play pick and choose. Four would have never happened with me. Would Jesus be mad at me for having none, now? Offhand, I'd say I should be mad at him. After all, he made me. |

Jesus Christ only has one wife and wants everyone else to only have one wife. You are a "preacher" of what?! Does your research maybe involve Martin Scorsese or Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code)? So it's a fact then, if you believe it... Well of course you are free to believe what you want, but if you think that this has anything to do with true Christianity, then you are confused and in error, no matter what extra-biblical texts or believes you may think of or refer to. Yes, Jesus will be "married" to his wife/bride which is the church of all true believers after His return - Marriage Supper of Christ. Everything else concerning this are fallacies and deception, at least in regards to the truth of Christianity (with true hermaneutical apologetics). But again, anybody has the right to believe what they want even if it's not the truth. |

Western society has destroyed the biblical marriage of multiple wives and replaced it with monogamy which clearly does not work. In ancient times and today in some countries this is the norm. Modern women must let go of this mindest and jealousy and see the bigger picture. Multiple people under one roof brings security on all levels from children to family business. Be part of something bigger than themselves, it's biblical Culturally you are probably right. Culturally so is everyone else. Western society is a poor isolator. There are many western societies depending upon where you live. If you are referring to American culture, America is a hemisphere composed of cultures in North America, Central America and South America. If you are referring to First World Cultural beliefs, there are first world cultures scattered all across the globe. As for religious beliefs based on the bible, there are many people who believe in religions not based on the bible. The bible contains numerous references to the sanctity and beauty of marriage. Genesis 1:27-28 Malachi 2:14-15 Isaiah 54:5 Song of Solomon 8:6-7 Ephesians 4:2-3 Colossians 3:14 Ecclesiastes 4:9: Ephesians 5:25 Genesis 2:24 Ecclesiastes 4:12 Mark 10:9 Ephesians 5:25-33 Anyone can twist anything so it reads in their favor by adding or subtracting from the actual context. Belief is a personal justification requiring no actual reality to support it. While you might believe multiple wives are God's will and you might convince women to share your belief, it has not actual world-wide truth in its reality. No matter how fair or equal you think you can be, someone will always be the favorite 'one' over all the others. This is not a ruse but the actual reality forcing its way into your belief. Plus, this Universe exists in constant change and since you are part of this Universe, you exist in constant change. Your favoritism for 'one' will change over time as your needs and desires change. Consider this: Marriage is the act of promising yourself to the 'one' other above all others. It requires dedication and commitment to another over all others. When we choose our partner wisely, that commitment is easy. When we choose poorly, it affects how long our dedication and commitment last. It affects our contentment. By choosing multiple partners it show you are unable to make the promise of solidarity to another. It defines the love you have to show another as shallow and unfocused. Monogamy is a type of personal alignment. Marriage is meant to last a lifetime "Till Death Do We Part". Finding the correct alignment in another person is difficult. Its supposed to be difficult because it requires wisdom to make the proper choice. By forcing the belief of multiple marriage partners you are failing to make the wise choice marriage implies. That's a cop-out strategy. |

In Qur'anic Law, you are allowed four wives, as long as you show care for all of them. The Arab's got that from the Scriptures. The Qur'an is based off of the Scriptures. In Torah, it is lawful for a man to we'd more than one wife, and long as he cares for the second or how ever many other wives he has as the first. None should be lacking when having multiple wives, according to Scripture in the Torah. |

I thought the New Testament established that monogamy was the proper thing though? So it was no longer biblical to be polyamorous.
And what ways have monogamy failed? If anything, monogamy is more stable in terms of family and civilization. Monogamy also made it work so that overall more people were able to find partners. In polyamorous/polygynous/polyandrous societies, only the minority of men/women were able to find partners. Not at all. What did Yahusha Hamashiach say in Matthew 5:17-19? Read it and there is your answer. The law/Torah is still valid, only the sacrificial law has been done away with. |

First reaction                                     Most men 40+ yrs old can't even get it up well enough to please one woman. What would you want with multiple wives? Question: do you have shares in Viagra? They can be replaced for better and young sexual partners..young people even have attraction in milfs |
