Is one really enough?

[Classik]

Majority of men...or, all men are like king Solomon and have his instinct. He married 700 wives and had 300 concubines. What was he thinking? Wooow! No one can ever break this record.

 

[Classik]

Then how are men like him? Looking into the world today some married more than one wives, especially our fore fathers. Some have more than one today and with many secret and at times 'not secret' girlfriends. Some who don't have more than one however keep divorcing and remarrying and at the end have had more than one in their life. In such ways, men are like Solomon, or have a similar instinct. So, is one truly enough?

He was thinking about the power and the favors that they would buy him. What a politician.

Yup. And considering he only has 3 children listed in the Bible likely to Namaah, the wife of his youth imo, the other wives were not love interests.

in noah's day men thought the same way, and all but 4 of the men in the world died in the flood.

when judgment day arrives, when, where, and how ever, will any men be saved ?

Jesus says not many.

God in the OT days is totally cool with polygamy. Then jesus comes along later and says, oh wait no it's not cool.

 

[Classik]

... Not cool 'anymore'.

 

[ironmonk]

... Not cool 'anymore'.

So you agree it was cool, once.

 

[Classik]

So you agree it was cool, once.

Dunno. Just trying to draw attention to the word 'anymore'

 

[ironmonk]

Dunno. Just trying to draw attention to the word 'anymore'

Ah, well you did a good job. But why is god changing his mind, no! why is jesus saying something different than his father, no! why did god allow polygamy in the first place.

 

[Classik]

Ah, well you did a good job. But why is god changing his mind, no! why is jesus saying something different than his father, no! why did god allow polygamy in the first place.

I believe it was cool in those days.

 

[Classik]

I don't think I agree with this

 

[ironmonk]

Ah, well you did a good job. But why is god changing his mind, no! why is jesus saying something different than his father, no! why did god allow polygamy in the first place.

That was a rhetorical question.

 

[Classik]

That was a rhetorical question.

Yea. I was just thinking about the situation.

 

[ironmonk]

Yea. I was just thinking about the situation.

Don't worry about it I struck the first blow.

 

[Kathi]

"It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law," Jesus replied. "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Matthew 10:5-9 NIV
