Sorry .that doesnt make sense to my post.

Some are not holy.. "in my opinion" no, in the opinion of everyone not holy, all atheists.

What advice tells you that religious books from different religions agree? Of you were advised they did agree then that is poor advice

Not just atheist. Lots of religious folk know and understand that the messages from various religions are incredibly different. Only universalist leaning groups within many religions do that. It's like a utopian wish list, but has no basis in reality.

Yes. I have met church leaders, vicars, preachers who had no belief in god. They even have a club The Clergy Project - Religious Leaders Beyond Belief

I apologize, i change dictated to advocated

Thus i dont want any of your offering even if they are second hand. I lead my life as i need to, not how others want me to lead it

Thats quite ok, you are free to do so.

On a dabate forum if you post, question or make a reply, it is only reasonable to conclude other's will and can respond.

Stay well and happy and have a great life.

So what was the punishment for the crime of adultery before it was repealed?

And what in your view should it be now?
I think it was five years max
but I'm not a lawyer of this state

and the consequence in spirit will be dealt with after the last breath

Not if adequate precautions are taken. Or are you assuming those on open relationships dont take advise.

Interestingly. The highests rates of STIs in ametica are found in bible belt states so by your logic either christians have more open relationships or they ignore advice and rely on god to protect them from the dreaded clap

It doesn't surprise me; so many profess Christianity, but that's it. If everyone lived by the Scriptures, there'd be no std's.

You have had it your way for 2000 years and look at the mess we are in. Is it not time to try other ideas?

I'm sorry, but do you really think many people claiming Christianity, have lived by Christ's standards?

It's obvious they haven't, or else these issues wouldn't exist....or at least, not be so prevalent.

For sure! Prisons are full of people claiming to find God and be Christians, many churches too. Same as Sean Connery was actually James Bond, it's all a act.
I'd say the vast majority, anyways.

When these facts are examined, it doesn't make the Bible's advice (for Christians) seem flawed...just not followed.

Did i ask questions? I am sure i made statements regarding open relationships. You also made statements in reply that are not relevant to open relationships. I made it clear that
Cheating was a violation of trust
Open relationships are an explanation of trust.

Actually if no one had sex there would be no sti's but humanity would not last long. Scriptures are fine for those who want them unfortunately they too are living beings.

It is not your prerogative to decide who is and who isnt christian.

Here are your questions in this OP.

What happens if the "adulterers" marriage partner is in agreement?

What has your god to do with what happens in someone elses bedroom?


Of course is the contract does not have a monogamy clause then what is the problem?

It is not dishonesty among consenting adults and it is no one elses business but their own so how it it harmful to society?

And do you believe all adulterers are thrives and frauds?

What do you want? That the "adulterer" is beaten, stoned, mutilated, fined, so putting the burden on family and children?

Are you saying open relationships are not strong and lasting?

You have had it your way for 2000 years and look at the mess we are in. Is it not time to try other ideas?

What advice tells you that religious books from different religions agree?

Perhaps ironically, but many of the better Christians I've met, I didn't find out they were Christian until after a few years into the friend relationship.
