2. He only created a union in the garden of Eden and never called it marriage. However, He didn't administer over any wedding in the garden of Eden. Therefore, Adam and Eve have no wedding rings and they didn't make a marital vow in the garden.
3. All the people He loved and called the apple of His eyes in the bible were not monogamists. Abraham, King Solomon, Daivid and co. did not have only one woman.
4. Jesus Christ came through a woman that was already engaged to Joseph the carpenter. So, Joseph was the step father to Jesus, while God was the real father because Jesus had other siblings through His mother to Joseph. The question is, why Mary and not sombody else in Nazareth?
5. Jesus never talked or preached about marriage throughout his 33-year sojourn on earth. He never had girl friend (s) or slept with or had anything to do with women. So, which means marriage is not an issue to God.
6. God did not condemn Abraham for impregnating Haggai his house maid, while he was still legally married to Sarrah his wife. He gave the two women to bear children for him.
7. If marriage is a critaria to make heaven, Jesus Christ would have run one to set an example of the standard of how a normal Christian marriage should be.
8. In the book of Mark Jesus Christ never condemned the Samaritan woman for being in her 5th marriage. Jesus still collected her water, drank it and told her she had not met her real husband. He said to her: 'Where you are, the 5th husband's house is not your real place. Your own husband is still coming'
9. King Solomon had over 700 women in his life, yet God still said he was the apple of His eyes. So, who is God?! And what is his standard for marriage?!
10. The Catholic fathers and sisters as well as Jesus Himself never had anything to do with women or marriage. So, where is their place in heaven if marriage is a criteria to make 'heaven'?!
11. Notable men of God in Nigeria and around the world have been separated and divorced from their wives and re-married several times and their ministries are still flourishing. So who are we the ordinary people if the so-called men of God can still have issues with their marriages or cannot sustain it, then who is Kayode Salako and Foluke Daramola.
12. Our fore fathers used to marry plenty women in their days, even with the advent of christianity, does it mean all our forefathers are going to rot in hell?!
13. If the Islamic 'Holy book' can say God says it is not wrong to marry more than one wife or divorce and marry another woman, and goes ahead to allow its faithful to marry more than four wives, a practice which is forbidden in Christianity. Which then is the real holy book? The Quran or the bible?
14. Men who have one wife at home and still goes around sleeping with different types of women. And the one whose wife left and re-married. Who should be the apple of God's eye more?!
15. Who is God's wife and where is His own marriage? Does He have a wife? Is he married?! If God Himself is not in marriage, then marriage is not a critaria to make heaven.
In conclusion, those who are always quick to run other people down because of their marriage issues are just being mentally illiterate and religiously stupid and uncivilised.
God did not create religion for mankind. It is man who created religion for himself in order to enslave his fellow man and create fear into him, thereby making him believe that this is the standard of God on earth.
Therefore, religion is created for man and not man for religion. That is why normal things still happen to those who believe in the tenets of those religions.
Or how do you explain a situation where over 1000 people go to an 'holy land' to go and die miserably or the late Pastor Bimbo Odukoya and those many men of God could not survive those plane crashes?
What many of us do not realise is that most of the things we practice in religion are those things imposed on us by our colonial masters, who also double as our religious masters. Islam did not originate from us and neither is christianity. They were brought along with civilisation to help us come out of the cave.
So, the culture of one-man, one woman was realistically imposed on us by the West. It is their culture and marital way of life. The culture of 'you can marry more than four wives and still not be a sinner' is that of the Arabians.
On this realistic note, to continue to live with one woman by force, is unAfrican, unBiblical and unQuranic. It is just the way of life of the same people who came to drag us out of the cave imposed on our psyche and consciousness!
The white man simply came here with both their religions and their culture. And we do not have a choice than to accept the two, since we were still barbarians, living inside the caves.
However, the subject of marriage has now become an issue of confusion around the world today, even among the oyinbos, because our colonial masters have said so through their own ways of life and it must be so, so to continue to create confusion, condemnation and hatred in our midst, even when it is not necessary.
The last question is:
Is God a family man in any marriage?!
Did he create marriage?
Did he create religion?
Has He condemned anybody to hell yet?
The bible says the judgment will come on the last day. So, which means the gate of heaven and hell is still close because it is not yet the last day.
So, stop all these marital condemnation.
No wonder the bible itself is retreating it: 'Though shall not judge lest yee be judged'
Stop judging my marriage to anybody or anybody's marriage to anybody it is not your business to judge.
