Punishment I know I'm being punished for of all things looking to the polyamory community for sapiosexual gratification. Instead I got what I've always deserved condemnation for my beliefs from Biblical experts along with eternal rejection.

Biblical Debate Perhaps it would be best if we started a thread for Biblical Debate as opposed to people who believe in Christ wanting to exchange their experiences and learn from fellow believers. I am speaking for myself when I take offense at any attack on spiritual beliefs. If this thread...

Polyodium This thread and every other attempt anyone has made to present their belief that Jesus is the Word of God and His command is that we love one another and learn to be the best of friends is met with anger and hatred. Our spirit is the essence of who we are. Being at peace with our...

Emotional Affairs The issue I've always had with using sex as the defining issue in a relationship is that there are other issues that are equally as important in a rewarding relationship. I have emotional needs that my wife can't meet simply because she has not had the same experiences I've...

The line in the sand I don't know you personally but I have developed a friendship with you. Friendship is in no small part an effort to be faithful. I don't believe I need to be engaging in sexual relations with you to be a faithful friend. Engaging in sexual relations with one's spouse or...

Fidelity Perhaps the intersection of religious traditions and the forums on-going discussion about being both faithful to Christ and in an open relationship is faithfulness. I've been interested to see if same sex marriages have the same issue as marriages that aren't same sex. The statistics...

Study of Scripture The study of scripture can lead to misunderstanding amongst friends and lovers that all too often lends itself to hatred and mistrust. A relationship with Jesus is to be in love with the God called Love by those who love Him. More fun than a barrel of polymorists. :D...

Be patient, I'm getting there... I have learned that it’s easier explaining my belief in Jesus to a polyamorist than it is explaining my belief in polyamory to a Christian.

Timothy Leary is Dead I don’t know what a trained counsellor licensed by the Commonwealth would advise us if we dated but who knows she might make an exception. What my therapist recommends for me might not be what she would recommend for someone else. I can’t speak for her when it comes to...

Cupid It would be interesting to ask the question, "how has religious belief influenced our ability to love"? Jesus has had a positive impact on mine. For a lot of people this isn't true. It doesn't seem to matter if they believe He's God or that he's a mystical figure like Cupid. His...

This is a stimulating conversation. Regardless of our belief about the existence or divinity of Christ much of our common law and the vast majority of our criminal code are derived from the Protestant church and to a lesser degree Catholic dogma. The Mormon church was forced to alter their...

The poll did reveal that there are several others who are both poly and believers. That was nice. Proving the existence of Jesus has become of little interest to me. But I do like reading what other people think of Him.

Thanks kdt26417. I have a wonderful wife who shares my faith in Jesus. She’s enjoyed a 5 year romance with someone who has become an important friend for both of us. I’ve dated but I don’t know what’s more difficult. Finding a woman friend open to the idea of dating a married man who believes...

You're Fortunate I'm happy for you that you've moved on. You are fortunate to be able to explore this issue at an early age. If it turns out that you decide you are monogamous you will have based that decision on your own experiences. I wish I had known when I was your age that being...

Forgiveness Thanks, Magdlyn. I finally stopped retaliating about 6 years ago but not without a lot of help from my very kind therapist who as it turns out had a similar experience. At least I've stopped any notion I've had that I would find a girlfriend at church. (Looking for love in all...

Spiritual Intimacy I am an extreme introvert. Exploring the rationale of my emotional feelings is a lot of fun for me. Understanding and having appropriate behavior is the hoped for outcome. My spirit, my essence, the deepest part of me that is a child in his most private, secure place has...

It's Personal Talking about my relationship with Jesus is much like talking about my relationship with my wife. Unless you know her intimately like I do your opinion of her isn’t valid. She isn’t a theory, she is real. Just like Jesus is to me. My relationship with Jesus started when I was...

Link I think spirituality and polyamory are linked because spirituality is a type of intercourse. For me spirituality is my most honest attempt to be introspective. I am very particular about who I open up with spiritually. I would hope to be as particular about who I open up with...

Bible No. I don't believe the Bible is the inspired words of God. I believe Jesus is the promise (word) of God. I believe in His interpretation and validation of the scriptures. I think the council of Canon incorporated the traditions of men. I don't think studying the Bible is a...

Good This blog was about Biblical Christian Poly Living started by a very nice couple looking to meet other people who wanted to meet other people who believed both in the Bible and being poly. All the rancor has helped me to once again realize that I don't believe in the Bible. And that I...
