Kenyan gospel singer, Bahati is advocating for polygamy, claiming that marrying one wife will prevent many men from going to heaven.
Bahati, who spoke during a cooking session with his worker, Baite, which they called “men’s corner”, questioned pastors who advocate for men to have only one wife, asking for biblical evidence that supports such a stance.
He expressed his thoughts, saying, “Why do pastors nowadays tell us to have only one wife.These pastors should show us in the Bible where God said we must have only one wife.”
Bahati further argued that adhering strictly to monogamy might not necessarily lead men to heaven, citing biblical figures like David and Solomon, who were known to have multiple wives.
He said, “I feel like something that might prevent men from going to heaven is choosing to have only one wife. God will ask why I allowed David and Solomon to have multiple wives, but you chose to have just one.”
When his wife, Diana, joined the conversation, Bahati asked her if she believed Solomon, the wisest man in the Bible, was in heaven.
“Babe do you believe Solomon is in heaven, the wisest man in the bible?” he asked.
Diana affirmed that she believed Solomon was indeed in heaven and Bahati then pointed out that having more than one wife might not be a hindrance to one’s spiritual destiny.
Despite Baite, his employee, holding a firm belief in monogamy, Bahati noted that in heaven, there would be no marriages, referencing Jesus’ teachings about heavenly life, where people would be singing and enjoying honey and milk.
