I talked to a gal this week about poly. I tried to come at it as another option of biblical marriage and a choice for husbands if God put another woman in his life... her argument was, we weren’t brought up this way, blah, blah, blah. Somehow our conversation turned to the animal kingdom. I mentioned it’s interesting how the Lions are a tribe in a poly-like situation. She said, “ya but all the lionesses do is fight with each other, what does that teach the cubs/kids?” I said, ‘you should probably only have one kid?” It was a knee-jerk response, I wanted to laugh so hard. Sheesh many husbands and wives fight in a mono marriage, maybe we shouldn’t marry?? I say that with humor. She didn’t want to hear any scripture. God is a God of order and Poly was chaos and sin.
I know I was once where she is. I see the word from the preacher and traditions of men (or the fear of men) be held at a higher authority above God’s Word or even our husband’s. It deeply saddens me.
How we have cultural-ized the God of our very existence and made Him into our own image.
