Polygamy in the New Testament:
Here is a small quote from a Christian (R.M.) who agrees with Polygamy:
Hello,
I was just reading your article on polygamy. I am a Christian who
actually believes polygamy is a righteous form of marriage. Despite the
modern secular church you probably usually see, there are Christians who
are serious about God and Truth over men's traditions.
Another small quote from a Christian Pastor who agrees with Polygamy:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: Your statement on Polygamy
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Great article for the most part. I am a born-again Christian and a pastor who
not only supports the Biblical teaching of polygamy but I also practice it. I
have two wives and seven children so far....
Before I present the verses from the New Testament that allow polygamy, I first would
like to prove to you that Jesus peace be upon him did honor the laws of the Old
Testament, and did order his followers (the Christians as we call them) to follow the
laws of the Old Testament:
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)"
Christians always say as an excuse "Oh this law doesn't exist in the New Testament, it
is only the Old Testament." Well, according to Matthew 5:17-18 above, we clearly see
that Jesus honored the Old Testament, and forces Christians to follow the unmodified
laws of it that have not been replaced by newer ones in the New Testament. The Old
Testament as we clearly see above does indeed allow polygamy without a shadow of a
doubt !!.
There is not a single verse from the New Testament that prohibits polygamy.
Christians usually mistakenly present the following verses from the Bible to prove
that polygamy in the New Testament is not allowed:
Matthew 19:1-12 "1. When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and
went into the region of Judea to
the other side of the Jordan.
2. Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3. Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to
divorce his wife for any and every reason?"
4. "Haven't you read," he (Jesus) replied, "that at the beginning the Creator `made
them male and female,'
5. and said, `For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to
his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ?
6. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man
not separate."
7. "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate
of divorce and send her away?"
8. Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were
hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
9. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness,
and marries another woman commits adultery."
10. The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife,
it is better not to marry."
11. Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has
been given.
12. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by
men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who
can accept this should accept it."
In the above verses, we see that Jesus was approached with a question about whether or
not it is allowed for a man to divorce his wife in Matthew 19:3. Jesus immediately
referred to the Old Testament for the answer in Matthew 19:4. He referred to Adam and
Eve, one man and one woman. The Old Testament does talk about the story of Adam and
Eve as one husband and one wife. However, the Old Testament which Jesus had referred
to in Matthew 19:3 does allow polygamy.
Also, when a man becomes a one flesh with his wife in Matthew 19:5-6, this doesn't
mean that the man can't be one flesh with another woman. He can be one flesh with his
first wife, and one flesh with his second wife, and one flesh with his third wife and
so on.... To further prove this point, let us look at the following from the New
Testament:
Matthew 22:23-32 "23. That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection,
came to him with a question.
24. "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children,
his brother must marry the widow and have children for him.
25. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since
he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26. The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the
seventh.
27. Finally, the woman died.
28. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of
them were married to her?"
29. Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the
power of God.
30. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will
be like the angels in heaven.
31. But about the resurrection of the dead--have you not read what God said to you,
32. `I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' ? He is not the
God of the dead but of the living."
In Matthew 22:24-28, the Jews referred to Deuteronomy 25:5 from the Old Testament
where it states that if a woman's husband dies, and she didn't have any kids from him,
then she must marry his brother regardless whether he had a wife or not. When the
Jews brought this situation up to Jesus in Matthew 22:24-28, Jesus did not prohibit at
all for the childless widow to marry her husband's brother (even if he were married).
Instead, Jesus replied to them by saying that we do not marry in heaven, and we will
be like angels in heaven (Matthew 22:30).
So in other words, if Jesus allowed for a widow to marry her former husband's brother
even if he were married, then this negates the Christians' claim about the Bible
prohibiting polygamy. A man can be one flesh with more than one woman. In the case
of Matthew 22:24-28, the man can be one flesh with his wife, and one flesh with his
brother's former wife. Also keep in mind that Exodus 21:10 allows a man to marry an
infinite amount of women, and Deuteronomy 21:15 allows a man to marry more than one
wife.

makhluk pelampiasan hawa nafsu. Kalau belum mampu menikah, ya tunggu

dinikahi ayah secara syah bukan? Ibunda kita juga kasih ayah satu2nya
