Who cares about Paul? .. I'm asking about Jesus.

[9:31] they take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of God, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary
The Prophet's companion 'Adee ibn Haatim, who was a convert from Christianity, heard the Prophet (saws) recite the Qur'anic verse, "They have taken their rabbis and monks as lords besides Allaah,"59 so he said: 'Surely we did not worship them,' The Prophet (saws) turned to him and said 'Did they not make forbidden (Haraam) what Allaah had made allowable (Halaal)60, and you all made it Haraam, and did they not make Halaal what Allaah made Haraam61 and you all made it Halaal?' He replied, 'We certainly did.' The Prophet (saws) then said, 'That was how you worshipped them'."62
I'll reply to your post in details insha'allah.

They make Haram what is Halal
That Bible verse states what the Quran says:
A man whom has more then one wife should treat them all equal.
Don't worry about it, Allah has set rules and they arrongantly turn away as if they set Moral codes. Allah sets all moral codes. They rather follow people then the All-Knowing God who created them.

Uh, I didn't know Islam set a limit.
I don't remember Jesus Himself forbidding it, but in the Pauline letters, Paul states that church leaders "should" be a husband of but one wife. For example:
1 Timothy 3:2
1 Timothy 3:12
Titus 1:6
But I think we should look to Solomon. After all he was the wisest man who ever lived. Didn't he have tons of wives and concubines? :)

That's.........reassuring...
*Edit*
That's like saying "You can almost kill a person, but not all the way". What kind of barbaric thing is it when a man can have four wives? It's riddiculous, is what it is. It's nice to know that prophets married several wives. More credibility, I suppose.

Good question, I had to look it up. Leviticus 18:18 is the answer. In regards to Jesus he told them Moses allowed them to divorce because they were stubborn people. Jesus then told them that when God created man and woman they were to bond as one flesh and no one should separate what God has brought together.

Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
1Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

muhamad married a 6 yr old child and slept with the wife of his slave. u're saying allah is ok with that?
dont just thumbs down my answer if you're not going to explain why; because that would only show how much in denial muslims are.
because by that you are saying to me "no u're wrong and i give u thumbs down, but i cant tell u why either, maybe u're right, but allah didnt tell me the answer so i give u a thumbs down"
