A consumer on Instagram had posed the next query:

”Good night Pastor Reno Omokri. What would you say about polygamy. Is it a sin? Perhaps it’s the answer to all these dishonest scandals?”

Responding, Reno mentioned

”Properly, what I’m about to say is solely my private opinion, from my understanding of Scripture. I don’t converse for Christianity as a religion.

If we go by 2 Samuel 12:8, we see that God Himself gave David a number of wives. That verse says “I gave your grasp’s home to you, and your grasp’s wives.” Additionally, Previous Testomony Prophets have been polygamous. The New Testomony mandates monogamy for under overseers-1 Timothy 3:2. I cannot say polygamy is a sin.

Nevertheless, the definition of what’s sinful within the New Testomony is subjective. Based on the New Testomony, “no matter just isn’t from religion is sin”-Romans 14:23.

From the above, if you happen to do something from the conviction of your religion, flowing out of your conscience, it’s not sinful. Nevertheless, in case your conscience is towards it, then it’s sin for you.

What God hates is divorce. We see this in Malachi 2:6. You’ll by no means see wherever the place God condemned polygamy. Some folks quote Matthew 19:5 and Genesis 2:24 “a person will go away his father and mom and be united to his wife, and the 2 will turn out to be one flesh.” Some folks perceive this to imply that polygamy is out of the query. However among the many Commandments that God gave the Israelites by way of Moses, have been legal guidelines governing polygamy, for instance Exodus 21:10, Deuteronomy 21:15-17.

Nevertheless, let me restate that these are usually not doctrines. These are my privately held opinions which I’ll by no means preach on an altar because the ‘thus says the Lord’.

Thanks and should God bless you.”
