“Does God Support Polygamy?”- This Is What Pastor Okonkwo Kingsley Has To Say

A Relationship Coach and Senior Pastor of David Christian Centre, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo while teaching in a video on his verified Instagram handle some hours ago said that it is wrong for Christians to marry more than one spouse.

According to him, the Bible provides evidence for anyone not to justify polygamy. Matthew 19: 8 says God’s intention from the beginning was a man and a woman. Also, Genesis 2:24 says a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, not wives.

According to the Cleric from the video “Although Abraham, David, Solomon and other fathers in the faith married more than one wife, that is not an example for Christians to follow because it is not every character in the Bible that we should imitate.

For instance, Abraham agreed with Sarah to have a child with their maid, Hagar. That is not to say we should do what he did. All these men mentioned in the Bible paid heavily for their decisions of many wives; incest was committed in David’s household, and Solomon was drifted from God because of many wives”.

Speaking further, the Cleric said although it is difficult for a man to stick to one woman, that is not a justification for any man to marry more than one woman at the same time because the scripture cannot be misinterpreted to suit the selfish nature of human.
