Polygyny Questionnaire for Brothers-NEED YOUR HELP!!!

[wel_mel_2]

Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.

Ah, yes. The old "Christians commit sins, therefore Christianity is false" argument.
I assume, Wel_Mel_2, that you also agree with the statement "Muslims commit sins, therefore Islam is false"?

I really miss your comments REEP :) . Welcome back to the board.


Ok here are my thoughts again.


What I was trying to say is that Jimmy Swaggart or anyone with similar problem, could simply get another wife instead of committing that horrible sin; and instead of hiding his illegal second partner, he could have easily live in peace in the light without any embarrassment. But because of <b>the Church’s restriction (not the Bible)</b>, polygyny was not allowed. So here is the point, Islam offers the solution to Jimmy’s problem but because of the influence of his church, he chooses to commit <b>THE REAL ADULTERY</b>. And who knows, if he was not caught and if the matter was not brought to the public, his followers would have not been able to realize his hypocrisy and continue to listen to his speeches as one of the most popular Christian preacher of his time.


To make it easy for you reep I would say:


Christian commit sins because,<b> they have no guideline to follow in this area</b>, Christian denominations are not in agreement when polygny is concerned, because <b>there is not a single statement in the Bible that condemns polygyny</b>; the fact is that polygyny was prohibited in the Bible for only certain people, not all.


Pastor Cooper P. Abrams III said:

The only place I really see polygamy prohibited is <b>in the requirements to be a bishop and a deacon </b> where Paul mentions that to hold either office a man must only be married to one wife (1Tim. 3:1-12). Here, <b>Paul does not label polygamy as sinful but simply prohibits a polygamist from holding these two offices</b>. Simple rational could account for the banning of polygamists from these offices

As you can see reep, Polygyny is not forbidden in the Bible, it can never be compared with adultery and so Christians should not condemn such a beautiful way which offers a lot of benefits to human kind.


Here is an email from another pastor who said:

Great article for the most part. <b>I am a born-again Christian and a pastor who </b>


not only supports the Biblical teaching of polygamy but I also practice it. <b>I </b>


have two wives and seven children so far....

Now, for the benefits of all, here I am presenting again just SOME Christian websites who supports polygyny as confirmed by the Bible.


Biblical Polygamy


Truth Bearer


CHRISTIAN POLYGAMY IS LEGAL!


So if anyone consider polygyny to be form of adultery, then you are telling us in other words, that your Bible encouraging adultery.


The question arise now is, do some Muslims commit the same sin? YESSSS… does Islam offers the solution? YESSSS, so don’t blame Islam and blame those Muslims who pay no heed to the commandment of God Almighty, on the other hand, <b>blame Christianity for offering no solution to this serious problem.</b>

Excuse me brother Wael, if I misunderstood your comment.

Jazaki Allahu khiran sister for clearing up some of my points, and i hope by now my comments are made clearer insh a Allah.
