The former Presidential spokesperson and media, Reno Omokri in a recent post shared on his Twitter handle gave his thoughts saying he wouldn’t condemn nor exalt the idea of polygamy but he isn’t sure if it is a sin according to the bible.
According to Pastor Reno Omokri who quoted a verse in the Bible to buttress his point said noted that most of the holiest men in the bible were polygamist, so because of this he can’t categorically condemn the polygamous ideology because there was nowhere in the bible where God clearly gave his command on the polygamous ideal. He concluded by stating that he has respect for polygamists than adulterers.
The former presidential spokesperson tweeted;
Someone asked me if polygamy is a sin. Scripture is silent on it. I dont recommend it. However, Some of the holiest men in Scripture (David, Abraham), were polygamists. Pastors shouldn’t be polygamists, But in my OPINION, I dont know if it is a sin
I won’t give a judgment on polygamy where God has not given a command. But, personally, I have more respect for polygamists, than adulterers. If you die, I doubt God will punish you for something that’s not clearly a sin. But this is a mere opinion
Some people criticise my stand that Scripture is silent on whether polygamy is a sin and that though I wont recommend it, I cant condemn it. To those people, read 2 Sam 12:8. God, Himself, gave David many wives. I won’t condemn what I’m not sure of#FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets
