These seem like rather arbitrary lines drawn.<br /><br />Regardless, the four of you are "married" so it really shouldn't matter what permutation you choose to indulge in God's gift to your relationship. You share all other responsibilities simultaneously, so why is this wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190362753234566788.post-5399058875483396692009-05-16T10:07:00.000-07:002009-05-16T10:07:00.000-07:00In response to 3rd.

If your intent is to cause hurt or strife (vex), then it would be wrong to marry a blood sister of your wife. Marrying your step mother is an abomination. The two are totally unrelated, yet you are lumping them together.<br /> <br /><br /> As for bisexuality being explicitly forbidden.... There is only one reference to a female giving up the natural use of her body, and it's in the New Testament.God's law is silent on the issue, yet condemns sodomites to death. Maybe women should automatically be lumped into that category?<br /><br /><br /> There is a difference between two wives and their husband sharing (marriage bed is undefiled) vs two dikes. They have given up the natural use of their body, as it's pretty hard to have a family without a husband, yet the married ladies can get pregnant, or have the man, any time they want.There also may be a difference between the wives doing things separately vs together with the husband. We are left to our own interpretation with this one. <br /><br /> Personally, I'm not sure I would want to be together, so I'm not trying to justify my own desires either.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145753394386385102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190362753234566788.post-14554529815157995472009-05-16T02:02:00.000-07:002009-05-16T02:02:00.000-07:00The one thing I really really hope you keep doing ...The one thing I really really hope you keep doing is listening very carefully to your inner voice. We learn to do this better throughout the years..and I just hope you don't look back in ten years and feel 'i wouldn't have done that was the choice presented to me now'..<br /><br />In terms of what's natural and feels comfortable.. I can't really agree with the line of reasoning you provide in this post. People might feel very comfortable walking around naked in some cultures, in poor countries it is to this day not uncommon to see someone responding to the call of nature of the bigger kind in public.. Yet Prophets have been sent to people to dress them with honour, modesty, moral excellence..they showed people that some things which seemed very natural to them were not honourable in God's perspective. Like marrying two blood sisters, or marrying your stephmother etc.. <br /><br />I get why your church allows sisterwives to have sex with their husband at the same time..it isn't explicitly forbidden in the Bible. They don't allow for bisexuality because that IS explicitly forbidden. And since they allow it, the burden is on them mostly..and in that sense I am a bit relieved for you.<br /><br />According to me however watching other people have sex is not honourable at all, no matter how close it makes you feel to a person. And that is why your church forbids porn..<br /><br />The line of thinking you presented in the beginning was that sex is intended for procreation according to your church and that is why oral sex isn't allowed.. what has Christie got to do with your effort to make babies with Steve?3rd...https://www.blogger.com/profile/13719722967344319274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190362753234566788.post-13236612047377793832009-05-15T22:46:00.000-07:002009-05-15T22:46:00.000-07:00Megan, I appreciate the honesty with which you sha...Megan, I appreciate the honesty with which you share. This issue has divided your readers, but it's good that it's out there.<br /><br />I'm not really sure where I stand on the issue of sharing a bed. I have a very strong belief in keeping sex within marriage, but within marriage I'm less conservative. Song of Solomon is a very steamy read when you understand all the metaphoric language, and its central theme (found in the very center of the book) is God's blessing to the husband and wife: 'Eat, O friends, and drink; drink your fill, O lovers.' I think it's saying, hold nothing back! Enjoy each other fully.<br /><br />The Bible says much less though about the relationship between sister wives. King Solomon had many wives (way too many), but in the context of sex, the poem only talks about the one. That doesn't necessarily mean wives can't share the same bed, but it does seem to imply that sexual intimacy is a private expression of love between one man and one woman.<br /><br />Like I said, my opinion one way or the other isn't as strong as most commenters. Above all, I still sense a very strong and genuine love in your family and that has to be a good thing.<br /><br />My biggest concern is probably for you and Christie. It's great that you really love each other, and that you've grown so close, but you need to be careful. If Christie is as sexually driven as you suggest, things could get really confusing really quickly — and that could lead to a lot of pain later on if it's against your beliefs and those of your family and church.Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17570022381385517383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190362753234566788.post-53450877439181632522009-05-15T21:25:00.000-07:002009-05-15T21:25:00.000-07:00What you have shared is a very beautiful part of p...What you have shared is a very beautiful part of plural marriage.
