The woman preacher claimed that even Abraham, the Father of the Faith, didn’t have all his children with one woman.

A woman evangelist has advocated polygamy as a way around marital conflicts, arguing that the Bible and science even support it.
On Twitter, the video of the unnamed evangelist has been trending after asserting that great men in the Bible also had multiple wives.
She referenced the adulterous relationship King David had with Bathsheba, Uriah’s wife to support her claim. She said in that case, God confirmed polygamy when he was rebuking David for murdering Uriah. God said to David: “I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s WIVES into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more,” 2 Samuel 12:8.
She added that even Abraham, the Father of the Faith, didn’t have all his children with one woman.

On Twitter, tweeps have reacted differently to the preacher’s claim.
@mr_peteru77 said: “Can someone tell this woman and everyone seeing this to go and read the book of Timothy from start to finish for proper clarification because this is false in all ramifications.”
@dontneednomolly said: “Mathew 19:8 emphasizes more on Jesus outlining one man, one woman because two shall become one, not 5,4 or 3 shall become one. This is misleading. Since Jesus died the world has moved from Old Testament to New Testament.”
@sammiestylyz replied @dontneednomolly: “So I should trim Old Testament out of my Bible with scissors?”
@Emirys15 added: “The bible did not say we should marry one wife, it was Paul that bring that advice that one wife one husband.”
