Polygamy In The Bible?

Polygamy In The Bible? 

The current teachings of Christianity are for the sole purpose to drum to the beat of modern-day standards. What these people fail to realize is their leaders are known to stray away from the authentic and original teachings of The Biblical scriptures. Exodus, Kings and Chronicles are only few of the several examples that permit the law of polygamy. How is polygamy banned when millions of nuns are and have been married to Jesus or God? (Click here) One must ask, why is it that these people will go beyond great lengths in order to refute a statement but it only backfires against themselves? Their "rebuttals" quite often consist of irrelevant topics. When told polygamy is allowed, they present 1 Timothy 3:12, which is quite hilarious as it is referring to a Deacon only not the average Christian. Not only was that counterargument useless, it also destroyed their case even more. The topic is further discussed below..

“If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.”  (Exodus 21:10)

This verse permits polygamy in the bible. No matter how hard critics will try to argue. The bible does not set a limited number of wives. You don’t even get punished for raping a virgin. As a matter of fact, David, Solomon and his son had several wives with an enormous amount of women. It did not seem to cause a stir for them at their time. ”(1-Kings-11:3) King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.“In another chapter we read that: Rehoboam loved Maakah daughter of Absalom more than any of his other wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.” (2 Chronicles 11:21)

King Solomon's son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines “That was the Old Testament this is the New Testament!” We fail to see any prohibitions in The New Testament in regards to Polygamy. Christians quite often deny the previous accusation by asserting: "A Deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well.  (1 Timothy 3:12)" The Greek word διάκονοι was used in the verse, meaning Deacon as stated in the verse. A Deacon being an ordained minister of an order ranking below that of a priest. Simple observations conclude that (Timothy 3:12) only set a limit to a Christian Deacon and not that of a typical lay practicing Christian. No where do we see the words "all men" and nowhere in the teachings of Christianity do we find the denial of polygamy. In fact, we actually find Christians that have and still do practice it. On the contrary, (1 Timothy 3:12) ironically proves the point of Polygamy to the average Christian man. Otherwise, why would the verse only aim directly at the Deacon? Blindly denying The Old Testament will only create more problems than it could ever solve as it will create complications in the supposed divinity and weak-mindedness of their Jesus/God. As a matter of fact, we can see Jesus clearly referring to an old law in the Old Testament. Jesus referred to the Old Testament in (Matthew 19:4) for an answer. Which further slams their ridiculous objection. In case you have forgotten. Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.  I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished.  (Matthew 5:17-18)

In Conclusion: The chapter of Matthew 5:17-18 is present in The New Testament. So claiming the old law to be abolished is absurd. Not only that, The Deacons are only allowed to marry one wife, which is a undeniable rebuttal to the claim that all Christians "cannot" marry more than one wife.

Ants Have No Commander?

Ants Have No Commander? Although ants are frustrating when they get into your home or  when you’re having a picnic, ants do help the environment. They are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or groups. Depending on the species, ant colonies can consist of millions of ants. There are three kinds of ants in a colony: The queen, the female workers, and males. The queen and the males have wings, while the workers don’t have wings.   I n The Bible, it asserts that ants have no commander, no overseer or ruler. Despite ants having ant farms where they form a myriad of colonies. “Go to the ant, you sluggard;   consider its ways and be wise!   It has no commander no overseer or ruler    yet it stores its provisions in summer   and gathers its food at harvest.” (Proverbs 6:6:8) According to the Oxford Dictionary, Command is:  Have authority over; be in charge of (a unit) Ants form   colonies   that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living

Bible Scholars Admit Errors

Bible Scholars Admit Errors In the beginning of The King James Version of the Bible, there is an interesting citation by the authors of the edition. the original source of the Bible. Both the Old and New Testaments have been lost. In layman's terms, they are an abundance of ancient books that do not seem to agree with each other. Here, an intriguing note will be shared from The Revised Standard Version of the Bible itself, this note can be found in the authorized edition, published over a hundred years ago. This could be found in any library. Here we will share some of what it has stated.   "The King James Version has with good reason been termed 'the noblest monument of English prose.' Its revisers in 1881 expressed admiration of 'its simplicity, its dignity, its power, its happy turns of express... the music of its cadences, and the felicities of its rhythm.' It entered, as no other book has, into the making of the personal character and the public i

How Old Was Ahaziah?

How Old Was Ahaziah?  If you are still not convinced about the inconsistency regarding the bible’s corruption, maybe this could give you a little hint. In order to cover a contradiction in the bible, the translators will resort to lying. But truth will always stand out from faulty. So now to the question, Was Ahaziah 22 or 42 when he became king? “Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.” (2 Chronicles 22) “Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.” (2 Kings 8:26) As a matter of fact, let’s take a further look at several of the translations of 2 Chronicles 22. (see here) At face value, it seems to be splendid.  On the contrary, you will be in for a rude awakening.  Both chapters and translations say twenty-two years old. Yet wh
