Ephesians 5:31 - "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
Adam and Eve set the standard; you didn't see God creating a harem for him.
Even when godly men had multiple wives in Scripture, pain and anguish always followed as a result because it wasn't in God's will. See Solomon and David for how that turned out for them.
Heck, we even have the endless wars between Israel and Islam due to Abraham being an idiot and knocking up another woman.
100% disagree. It takes love, devotion, and commitment to marry and raise a family. A successful man has a true woman at his side, loving, supporting, and encouraging him to succeed. And the children definitely need role models in the home. Put God at the head of the home and there’s no limit as to what you can achieve.
Jesus teaches against being a conqueror “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.'" Here, Jesus teaches against the model of conquest where leaders dominate others, advocating instead for service.
Jesus also preaches for monogamy
- Matthew 19:4-6 (NIV): "Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." This passage emphasizes the union of one man and one woman in marriage… and marriage is in the eyes of god as the consummation of two fleshes becoming one…. Implying not to have sexual relations with more than one person.
I respect your views on masculinity and being physically and mentally prepared for all that life gives. This is aligned with God’s wisdom for men. However, you as someone who is smart enough to understand that there are moral absolutes in this world and objective truth, as defined by God, I urge you to understand that what you’re teaching is not in line with the words of God. Muhammad is a false prophet. But Even if he was not, he claims Jesus to be a prophet, speaking the word of God…. So you’d still have to take these words of Jesus into account as the true word of God.
@Cobratate Only the weak desire to conquer….
Mathew 5:5 “The meek shall inherit the earth”
those who are humble and gentle will ultimately receive blessings and rewards.
One God, One wife, many children. This is the way.
@Cobratate If you don’t raise your children you are not a father. Simple as.
The greatest version of what you’re promoting is Genghis Khan and look at Mongolia today.
Multiple development sites in Forth Worth, Texas, Forest Hill are EMPTY with no workers, only supervisor trucks
Hiding from ICE raids and Border Patrol. This is where American Jobs have gone, completely replaced with cheap ILLEGAL labor

“You see two of the trucks down there. I think they're supervisors. Maybe they're trying to verify and see if ICE is going to come out”
“I ain't never seen it this quiet before. This is crazy.”
"November's hiring rate of 3.3% is the lowest since the early 2010s when the US was struggling after the Great Recession," per Heather Long of WaPo.
