Re: Polgamy, polygyny, polyandry
The Lord hates the 'party spirit'. The 'party spirit' could be defined as an overall disrespect of all that is good. "God is light..." (1 John 1:5) and we are to walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8). Ephesians 5:9 says that the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true.
1) As far as perfect and complete (absolute) goodness, NO ONE is good but God alone (Mark 10:18).
2) God always does what is right, He is righteous.
3) In John 14:6, the Lord tells us that He is the truth. We read 'the word of truth'(2 Timothy 2:15) and Ephesians 1:13. Scripture was the word that God spoke roundabouts of two thousand years ago. Ephesians 6:17 tells us what the word of God is for the Christian in daily life.
You are being naive and will fall to temptation if you don't stay on the straight and narrow ("All things are lawful for me, but not all is helpful" 1 Corinthians 10:23). The marriage is a model of our personal relationship to and with Jesus. He is a jealous God and we have the option of LETTING his spirit yearn jealously in us James 4:5. The danger of thinking that there are TYPES of love is that the Christian will not understand HOW to love God PROPERLY. Use the same heart that you use to love your spouse and other loved ones, if your sense of love is not genuine, then, as 1 Corinthians 13 says, you are nothing. You might find a law or rule somewhere in the world that allows you to cheat on your spouse, but whether you go ahead and actually cheat or not, is a function of YOUR HEART, not the law. The parents of the human race ate of the tree of conscience, how's your conscience?...or are you studying to become a book?
