"I can assure you this is the only part of the Bible they agree with. The one that promotes their promiscuity but you see the one that God asked them to love and be loyal to their wife, they’d ignore that one ..smh."
@_kelvinson_:
"And Christ said in Matthew19v5-6 a man to cleave onto a wife. Not wives."
@glowriavlogs:
"Solomon's 700 wives also brought different gods to his house which destroyed him! Don't forget that part."
@lulusmooth:
"This information no concern your ex-wife."

"Abraham had only one wife. The maid that bore Ishmael wasn't his wife. Abraham married Keturah after the death of Sarah. So, Abraham didn't marry 3 wives."
@fynie001:
"Thank God he has daughters. He is writing this thinking of his ex-wife alone."
