I recently came across a website celebrating<BR>polyamory and stating that there is no Biblical basis for premarital sex, sex between couples, etc. <BR>I am a divorced, Christian lady and this teaching is very disturbing to me. Have I<BR>practiced abstinence for the past 9 years...<BR>No. Have I been happy with giving so much<BR>of myself? No again. I am now committed to<BR>"keeping" myself until I am remarried.<BR>I can't help but recall the scripture about<BR>exchanging the truth for a lie. <BR>How can this free sex teaching possibly benefit<BR>a married couple, singles, or the family?<P><BR>

There are severtal test to verify the appropriate interpretation of scripture. <P>First you need to look at the immediate context of the passage inquestion. What direction does it point?<P>Secondly you need to compare that passage of scripture against other areas of the Bible that deal with the same subject.<P>Lastly it can soemtimes be beneficial to determine how often the subject is discusssed in scripture. This can indicate the importance of the subject.<P>You don't mention the web site or the scripture used to argue their case. I was just wondering how they respond to all of the places in the Bible that instruct us to be sexually pure before and during marriage?<P>Mud <><
