Now I'll turn to you, if you would, to Mark Chapter 10.
Mark Chapter 10.
So not only does Islam corrupt education, but it is also corrupting marriage as well.
Now in Sierra Leone, many people practice polygamy.
And I'd like to talk about this from a biblical standpoint first.
In Genesis Chapter 2 and verses 23 through 25, the Bible says,
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.
She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
and they shall be one flesh.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
In Matthew Chapter 19, Jesus brings us into the New Testament, he talks about it in verse 4.
He says, And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which made them at
the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father
and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the twain, that means two, shall be one
flesh.
Wherefore, they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
And Ephesians 5 verse 31 says, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
shall be joined unto his wife, and they too shall be one flesh.
And then Mark 10 where you're at, go ahead and look at verse 6, once again it says, pretty
much the same thing, it says, But from the beginning of the creation God made them male
and female.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and the
twain shall be one flesh.
So then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
So look, all these passages said the exact same thing, two becoming one.
Not three, not four, not five, because that's what Islam teaches is that one man could have
four wives, that's five coming together to one.
No, that's not what the Bible says, the Bible says two become one.
And I'll give you a statistic, 37% of married women in Sierra Leone were in a polygamous
marriage in 2008, 37%.
That's like two out of five women, that's crazy.
And 29.7% of married girls aged 15 to 19 reported that their husband had more than
one wife.
And another article that I read said, though polygamous marriages are illegal in Sierra
Leone, the government basically turns a blind eye to the practice.
So they basically turn a blind eye to it, they just let it happen.
And you know, in Mark 10, 6, where you're at, it says, from the beginning of the creation.
So it's always been this way, it's never been any different, it's always been just one man,
one woman, they come together in marriage.
It's always been like that, before David, before Moses, before Abraham, it's always
been like that.
And you know, good men of God in the Bible, they made mistakes, but the Bible clearly
teaches that, teaches against polygamy.
