2 Chronicles 11:21

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.
Matthew 5:17-18
King James Version (KJV)
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
New Testament:
1 Timothy 3:2
King James Version (KJV)
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1 Timothy 3:12
King James Version (KJV)
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
Keep in mind Paul said:
1 Corinthians 7:1-9
King James Version (KJV)
7 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
"7 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman." but it has "2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;" but Paul was like a Bishop over many Churches, so did it mean he must be married or just The Bishop should have one wife? if this is so then its not talking to Non-Bishop and other verse Non-Deacons therefore Men are allowed more then one Wife.
The disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry." But he said to them, "Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it."

Matthew 19:10-12
King James Version (KJV)
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

You really like to twist GOD'S WORD and use small points that mean nothing because you understand nothing and I would say you remind me of someone who would pull away the masses if he could, but I will also say that Your Verses do not apply as I am not an eunuchs nor am I one of The 12 Jesus picked in HIS Time. I can say me and you are not on the same team and I hope others can see that as well, because I am here to Lead people to Christ yet you seem to be well at twisting GOD'S WORD. At First I was thinking you just lacked study but now I feel you just do well at misleading, if someone did not know GOD'S WORD you might lead them away.
Are you an Gnostic Christian? or do you even Claim Christ?
"A eunuch (pron.: /ˈjuːnək/; Greek: Ευνούχος) is a man who (by the common definition of the term) may have been castrated, typically early enough in his life for this change to have major hormonal consequences. Less commonly, in translations of ancient texts, "eunuch" may refer to a man who is not castrated but who is impotent, celibate or otherwise not inclined to marry and procreate. Most eunuchs who are castrated before puberty are asexual."

You said "All Men should get married as I said GOD designed Women just so men would not be alone. "
I simply posted a verse to prove you wrong. Not all men are to get married. I am just proving that we are not commanded to take a wife,wives or not marry. By doing so I am proving that a law made by the governing authority does not go against God's law. Therefor it must be upheld by Christians.
You can keep posting it but you are not using it in in the right way,
like I said I no not trust you in any way and I can clearly see you use Verses to mislead and to trick others who do not understand and to me a very dangerous person.

Like I said you use misleading Verses to point out something you clearly do not understand or just try to use for something to mislead, again I do not trust you because I can see you are not trust worthy.
