“You will never see anywhere in the Bible where God condemned polygamy” — Reno Omokri

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has shared his opinion on the controversial matter of whether or not God approves polygamy or not.

 

He shared this on his Instagram web page in response to a follower who requested if polygamy is a sin, and if it’s the answer to infidelity in marriages.

Responding, Reno Omokri said that there isn’t any place within the bible the place God condemns polygamy, so he can’t categorically name it a sin.

He additionally identified that some prophets within the Bible have been polygamous, together with David who was given a number of wives by God himself.

 

In his phrases;

 

“Nicely, what I’m about to say is solely my private opinion, from my understanding of Scripture. I don’t communicate 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 Additionally, Outdated Testomony Prophets have been polygamous. The New Testomony mandates monogamy for under overseers-1 Timothy 3:2. I can’t say polygamy is a sin.

Nevertheless, the definition of what’s sinful within the New Testomony is subjective. In response to the New Testomony, “no matter will not be from religion is sin”-Romans 14:23.

From the above, for those who do something from the conviction of your religion, flowing out of your conscience, it’s not sinful. Nevertheless, in case your conscience is in opposition to 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 anyplace the place God condemned polygamy. Some individuals quote Matthew 19:5 and Genesis 2:24 “a person will depart his father and mom and be united to his wife, and the 2 will grow to be one flesh.” Some individuals 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 should 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 will God bless you.”
