Brethren,I thank our brother who brought this important discussion. God did not consult with any when he created the heavens & earth. He’s omniscience. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis.1: 27 (kjv).
If polygamy was his initial plans, no one could remind him. However, he created us as free moral agents, for this reason he dose not compel us to go against our will. Rather he delights to warn us of the impending dangers.
Those of us that came, or married, from polygamous families could, bear witness that it’s not bed of roses. Sometime, is a battlefield. A single woman is sometime difficult to deal with then, five or above will be more difficult. Peace is important to any family. Some, is mini hell. On no occasion will the man have equal love for them, while this remains the only reason the bible warns for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife and they twain shall be one flesh. Matthew.19: 5. He never said wives. For reference purposes, see Mt.19: 4-5, Mt.10: 6-7, Titus.1: 6, One wife 1Tim.3: 2 & 12, One Hus 1Tim.5: 9 etc, etc.
Polygamy or Monogamy,Legality or no Legality,the important issue is, where will you spend eternity? The lord is about to return to earth, is your heart right with God? Death is eminent by all, and there is no way of escape. The Lord is calling on you to reconcile with him before is too late. I know you might not like this message, beloved of God is a healing to your soul if you heed to his call.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead who was in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation.20: 11-15. Is your name in the book of life? Yes, you can be hundred percent sure that your name is there. Think about this!
Maranatha.
