Posted : 27 Jan, 2026 07:42 AM Was David's sin having more than one wife or was his sin having someone else's wife? THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 2 Samuel 12:7-9 7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. 9 Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. Post Reply

Posted : 4 Feb, 2026 04:07 AM The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands, the foolish one tears hers down. (Proverbs 14:1) For New Testament purposes, the wise woman would be the church building up the body of Christ which has many parts. You are a part of that church, Cuzzie, even though you are not a woman, but in light of Christ's bride, we are all a woman. Post Reply

It seems that they must be divorced and intend to divorce as a pre-requisite for becoming a pastor or a church leader. How monogamous are the lives of church leaders today? Post Reply

The church is even more hard-hearted than the people under the Mosaic Law ever were? Under the Law of Moses, only men were divorcing women. (Deuteronomy 24:1-4) Now women are divorcing their husbands left and right for any and every reason. In the Old Testament, women were to go free without payment of money and a man got to keep his house. Now women are taking everything a man's got when they leave him. Who is more hardness of heart? Under New Testament teachings, Jesus, then Paul, speak against divorce. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. Now divorce is everywhere in the church. There is more divorce now than ever. You think that we are better than the People of God? 1 Kings 19:3-5, Elijah prays to die and says he is no better than his ancestors, but you think that the church is more righteous than Israel. Salvation is first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. Replacement theology doesn't work in the Bible. We have become "REPLACE TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS". NEITHER FOLLOWING THE NEW TESTAMENT NOR THE OLD. We replace what the Bible says with other teachings. Not many on this site are virgins. Not many on this site are celibate souls waiting for monogamy. More on here have been around. Post Reply

Posted : 4 Feb, 2026 04:32 AM So, your argument is with God for God telling David that he gave David those wives. Your whole message here has been against God saying that he gave David those wives in 2 Samuel 12:8. Post Reply

Matthew 11:18-19 "For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He hath a devil!’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.” Luke 7:33-35 "For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by all her children.” Matthew 19:12 "For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.” The point being, the body of Christ is filled with all types. Some are eunuchs. Some are virgins. Some live celibate lives. Some are monogamous. Some engaged in polygyny. God comes to us in different ways. Wisdom is proved right through all of her children. So, from what you have said, you are still a virgin and waiting for that one wife.

Cuzzie1 View Profile History	Was David's sin having more than one wife or was his sin having someone else's wife? Posted : 4 Feb, 2026 05:42 PM The 10 virgin parable is a depiction of the church, and as shown in other verses the church is one body so one bride. If it was literal then we men would be in trouble not to mention anyone who isn't a virgin or the fact that he would only be coming for 5 people. So can't be used to promote christ having more than one bride. I didn't say all the apostle or elders were married, or that being single isn't a good thing, only that the ones who were married only had one wife and that they promoted that in the church by the fact that no one with more than one could be an elder. Just because God chose to use people in the old testament with more than one wife doesn't mean it is or was his perfect plan for them. He made a covenant with Abraham and God doesn't break his word regardless of what Abraham's descendants did. Doesn't make what they did his perfect will. As far as today's church is concerned. We are responsible before God for our actions not the church as a whole. We will be judged for what we do. So I reiterate, should we condone polygamy just because God allowed it in the old testament or because there are some who have hard hearts today, or should we seek to be in the center of God's will and have relationships that best reflect that. If one man one woman is God's design and was perfect before the fall then that is how we best operate and will be at our most content. Because that is how he made us. Where the 2 become one there is incredible intimacy because it is only between the 2 of you. The trust and love is greater because you are not sharing yourself with others which can only be good for a relationship. When David or Solomon or whoever went into there 2nd wife and so on, they were not just bringing themselves because they were already one with their first wife. So it is no longer 2 becoming one as God designed. Post Reply

It appears you are single. I do not know your history with women. You have some years. It appears you are single and that is where the greatest contentment is. Words change after marriage. Proverbs 31:10 Matthew 19:10 1 Corinthians 7:1 Ecclesiastes 7:28 1 Corinthians 7:40 I believe people are happier not marrying. I believe they are more content. Post Reply
