Please help me

I have now met Christians arguing that it is proper to have open marriages.

I mean, really, what am I supposed to say to that?

Christ noted that He would prefer that people go without spouses like him, but if they must control their urges to take a wife or husband. The idea here was to control your urges with your spouse...

Not to embellish them.

I cannot believe I actually live ina day and age where someone is telling me that Christians can visit non-idolatrous prostitutes, be a swinger, etc.

I'm with you. It's astonishing what people will try to justify these days.

Swingers are committing adultery by definition which throws any argument that God is okay with it right out the window.

Ok, if you say so. But why does God disapprove of adultery, or why is it a bad thing?

Ive been arguing with a person that says that swingers are blessed by God

I really cant believe this
But the worst thing is that ive been searching the internet looking for proofs against this, but ive not been able to find something good enough to help him think that this is tottaly wrong in the eyes of god

Heres one of his answers

adultery means : breaking a covenant...as Israel often did with God and were called adulterous for it. When referring to a married couple, it has to do with breaking the marriage covenant. My wife and I have agreed to share each other exclusively with another couple who are our best friends. We are not breaking our marriage covenant because we are not covenanting against sharing each other with our poly lovers. It is wonderful, and blessed by God.

As long as these people do not claim this is acceptable for a Christian marriage, there's nothing you should do about it. IF they claim otherwise, Jesus gave clear directions as to what to do.

In the end of the process, they either repent, or you treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector. Albeit a rather frisky version.
