Apostolic Revelation. Question: Here again you find the Ministry telling lies that all believers should have only one wife for life in the following post : Can a Christian have two wives at the same time?, the Scripture is very clear the only restriction to having one wife is for the Ministry only (1 Tim 3: 2, 1. Titus 1: 6), you cannot without bending and misquoting Scripture out of context prove otherwise. Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name! I remember one person asking me quoting the following verse of the Firstborn Inheritance Rights, .

But he shall acknowledge the son of the unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.? Even in the above verses we can see that a man in his natural way, can love only one woman truly from his heart, so that the other woman becomes unloved.

In other words he was asking me, 'Was there not polygamy in the Old Testament which God in His law permitted lawfully?'Levirate Marriage, which may result in polygyny, is commanded in the Bible in Deuteronomy 2. Brother of the deceased Husband refuse to do this for her Sister- in- law at her request, it would deprive her of her rights within the family. Her father contracted with her husband’s father that she would be a wife in that house, that she would provide heirs to the house who would have rights to his share of the inheritance. His death does not change the family’s obligation towards her.

So levirate marriage was rather a necessity and a obligation of fulfilling a promise according to the Law and should be distinguished from polygamy by choice. This is not a normality, but an emergency backup support system God has given Israelite families to keep their inheritance and name before their countrymen, and to keep the honor of their word to retain the family system in the society and above all honor God and please Him (Gen 3. The marriage which God ordained for Adam and Eve is one spouse for life, which is God's perfect will for all humans, yet because sin corrupted the heart of humans by and by, God through His law of Moses permitted divorce and remarriage, and even polygamy not by God's perfect will but by the condition of man's heart which has become hardened by sin (Matt 1.

Based on God's perfect desire and His will for humans which we understand from the creation story and the first marriage conducted by God, the standard set forth by Him and expressed by Jesus only permits, . Jesus replied promptly back saying, all cannot accept this saying except to those whom God has given grace to accept and obey (Matt 1. Thus we can come to understand that because God has given more grace to the New Testament saints, more is expected of us unlike the Old Testament saints (Luke 1. The Old Testament saints did not have Holy Spirit within them to help them walk the Christ life, but we the New Testament saints have Him with us, in us and upon us in a tri- dimensional way (John 1. Acts 1: 8; 2: 4). The Holy Spirit Himself is given by God to each individual believer to teach them to walk with God in holiness to see His activity in their lives (1 John 2: 2.

The Bible says, . Polygamy originated with the godless descendants of Cain. As with all the other instances of polygamy in the Old Testament, the practice is recorded, but not condemned and at the same time is never encouraged.

We see that when a believing faith community that came through the line of Seth (Gen 4: 2. Cain's line, they took wives .

God was grieved with the life style of polygamy of believers who lived like the unbelieving counterpart's of Cain's line (Gen 6: 6), and even Jesus warned that in the end of days, the same will happen where polygamy will be promoted in all the earth and violence will increase as a result of it for God to bring his judgment upon the whole earth (Matt 2. Luke 1. 7: 2. 7- 2. Never mind about the mixture during the pre- flood times, but Noah and his family who found favor in the sight of God lived in monogamous relationship at the same time when these apostate mixture were having polygamous relationship and were promoting it, Noah had only one wife and even his three sons had only one wife each (Gen 6: 8, 9- 1.

Peter 3: 2. 0). This shows how God appreciated the family life of Noah and his sons as perfect in the midst of a perverse generation of believers and unbelievers mixture because of lust in the heart of all humans at that time. Even after the Flood, there are many mentions of polygamous relationships—including among the patriarchs of Israel. Abraham, Jacob, David, and Solomon all had multiple wives. As for Abraham specifically, aside from the affair with Hagar which made her to become his wife . Jacob, he never intended to have any other wife but Rachel whom he loved and only ended up in this polygamous situation because of trickery of his Father- in- law (Gen 2. Esau had a polygamous relationship by his own choice of marrying Hittites of Canaan's land who were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah his father and mother, so trying his luck to please his father with another good woman who will please his father in his old age he went and married Ishmael's daughter (Gen 2.

After this we don’t see any of the twelve sons of Jacob having multiple wives, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, the Judges (not even Sampson) or the prophets. It simply was a rarity because they all understood that it was not God's intended perfect will for His children. God through Moses clearly told that the Israelites should only choose the king whom He chooses, and that they must not acquire many wives for himself, or else his heart will turn away; also silver and gold he must not acquire in great quantity for himself (Deut 1. So did David and Solomon knew about this fact of truth from the Law? Yes they must have known these things as they studied the Law of Moses and meditated on them constantly to know the Lord and love Him (Psa 8. Prov 5: 1. 8; 7: 1- 5; Eccl 1. Yet in this matter of the Law they disobeyed the Lord's command, and the result of such a polygamous lifestyle was not a good one but rather a sorrowful one.

David's many wives led to other problems - Absalom's uprising, the rape of his daughter, etc. And King Solomon was said to have 7.

Kings 1. 1: 1- 3). Kings 1. 1: 4 notes how Solomon's wives did indeed lead him astray after other gods apart from Jehovah His true love of his youth (1 Kings 3: 3). It is interesting to note that there are no passages in Scripture that clearly state, 'No man should have more than one wife,' even though God has implicitly expressed His perfect will and desire for all humans as one man and one woman relationship for life. We can infer this from the day of human existence as God created a man and a woman in the Garden of Eden (Gen 2: 2. It would be noteworthy to notice that God created Adam and Eve- -not Adam and Eve and Shirley and Tina and..

Beena.. In other words, when sin came in to the world, the original purpose of God's desire for a pure one man one woman relationship for life was disrupted. Now in the New Testament, in Christ Jesus with the help of the Holy Spirit we regain God's desire to make it our desire for a pure one man one woman relationship for life. Praise the Lord! In the New Testament, 1 Timothy 3: 2, 1. Titus 1: 6 give “the husband of one wife” in a list of qualifications for spiritual leadership.

While these qualifications are very much mandatory for positions of spiritual leadership, they should also apply equally to all Christians because Christ Jesus wants all of us to excel in our spiritual life and earn eternal reward and crown for our holy life and overcoming life of faith on earth. Should not all Christians be “above reproach.. Timothy 3: 2- 4)? Should not all Christians be holy as they cannot see the activity of the Lord without holiness in their lives (1 Peter 1: 1.
