As long as there has been no physical contact, and that both females know you are dating someone else, and that you are not stringing any of them along or give any of them false hope then it is probably acceptable to the three of you. Personally speaking, I would not date anyone who is also dating someone else, though.Do you think its morally ok from a Christian standpoint to date 2 females at once being the both are ok with it of course. Would such a relationship be frowned upon in a Church.
Really you do not know where this verse is? Samual 12:7 "Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more".Where is this in the Bible (Book, chapter, verse)?
Deu 17:17 "He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold."It was never called a righteous act by God.
Deu 17:17 "He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold."
1 Kings 11:1
Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women,
1 Kings 11:3
He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away.
1 Kings 11:4
For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

I don't personally see anything wrong with it as long as you aren't lying about it to either. Dating has the purpose of discerning who you're to marry and find out who you're compatible with.Do you think its morally ok from a Christian standpoint to date 2 females at once being the both are ok with it of course. Would such a relationship be frowned upon in a Church.
By definition it's not possible to be committed to two different women at the same time.Yes I was meaning simultaneously. Like being in an actually committed relationship with 2 females under the same roof.

How many credit hours of koine Greek do you have? Translation is not done by taking a concordance and eenie, meenie, mine, mo picking a definition from a list of possible definitions. Here is the complete definition of eautou from Bauer, Arndt, Gingrich, Danker Lexicon of NT Greek, NOT a Catholic publication. Scroll down to see the number of times it is translated "own" which does not involve wives or husbands..
Many changes were made by the Roman Catholic translators and I could take days _ Even months eXplaining them all to You - But let's take a look at just one of the many, many ways that the Anti Polygamous Roman Catholic translators went about changing the Bible to propagate an Anti polygamy message.
Lets first look at the first eXample here in 1Co_7:2
- 1Co 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
ok - let's look at - LET EVERY MAN HAVE HIS " OWN " WIFE
First - Please take a quick look at this GOOGLE TRANSLATION OF THE meaning of the word that the translators are claiming says " LET EVERY MAN HAVE HIS " OWN " WIFE "
HEAUTOU -ἑαυτοῦ meaning CLICK HERE www.goo.gl/D2stV4
The word is not OWN- It simply means THEMSELVES.
THEMSELVES -HEAUTOU - HEH-OW-TOO' ) PRONOUN OTHERWISE OBSOLETE AND THE GENITIVE/MEANING GENITIVE ADJ: THE OTHER persons SELF SELVES ) OUR (THINE) self (-SELVES ),
HEAUTOU = (reflexive pronoun of the 3rd person) – 1438 /heautoú ("himself, herself, itself," etc.) is the 3rd person reflexive (singular, plural) form which also functions as the reflexive for 1st and 2nd person.
It never says - Let Every Man Have His Own Wife.
It says - Let Men Have themselves, wives.
ok - Secondly - Let's take a quick look at this GOOGLE TRANSLATION OF THE meaning of the word - " The actual word " OWN that is commanded for a woman to have their OWN Husband. Because it is a totally different Greek word with a totally different meaning throughout the entire Bible.
IDIOS - ἴδιος meaning CLICK HERE - www.goo.gl/7SPHRC
AND LET EVERY WOMAN HAVE HER OWN / private - IDIOS HUSBAND
OWN ; - IDIOS - ID'-EE-OS ( OF UNCERTAIN
AFFINITY; ,ONE'S OWN; BY IMPLICATION PRIVATE OR SEPARATE: HIS ACQUAINTANCE, WHEN THEY WERE ALONE,
APART, ASIDE, DUE, HIS (OWN, PROPER, SEVERAL SEPARATE), HOME, (HER, OUR, THINE, YOUR) OWN (BUSINESS), PRIVATE (-LY), PROPER, SEVERALLY-SEPARATE, THEIR (OWN).
The two words that you see there in Your Translations here in 1Co_7:2 - Own Wife and - Own Husband- The two words OWN and OWN are two totally different Greek words and one means THEMSELVES and the other OWN is the Literal word meaning OWN / Private.
The Original Manuscripts Never Command a Man to have His Own Wife.
It simply Says in 1Co 7:2 - Let Men Have Themselves Wives. The two words Own and Own in 1Co 7:2 are not the same Greek words.
The Roman Catholic translators lied - And there are many more LIES- I could easily Show You
Again - We see here in - 1Co 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let men have themselves HEAUTOU wives, and let every woman have her OWN IDIOS husband.
Here in Your Translations in 1Co 7:2 - the two words Own wife and Own Husband. The translators did not tell You that the Own Husband is not the same Greek word as - Own Wife.
There is no grammar rule for these types of mistranslations - It is just a matter of lying by Roman Catholics
Here are just a few eXamples of many other verses where the Greek word themselves / Themselves HEAUTO is applied for the Husband in 1Co 7:2
Mat 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham
Mat 9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
Mat 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself
Mat 14:15 .... his disciples came to him, saying, ......... go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
Here are just a few eXamples of the word OWN IDIOS that is applied for the WIFE.
Mat 9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
Mat 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants.
Luk 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Luk 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Luk 6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit.
The MEN were SIMPLY { just } the basic subject of having them, -self (-selves), wives { selves ἑαυτοῦ heautou }
and the women were in the subject of having the commandment have their OWN PRIVATE separate: apart, set aside Husband.
{ OWN - ἴδιος = idios }
I have found a verse that describes the Roman Catholics who mistranslate Gods word. - and what they are attempting to assume and the verse even has these two SAME Greek words actually used in their correct translation.
Here is - 2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
The above verse uses the two GREEK WORDS in RED and it is is the correct translation and how that these two Greek words are supposed to be used.
The Authors intentionally and purposely denoted that the men were to have themselves wives AND Woman were to have their OWN, PRIVATE, SEPARATE - SINGULAR - SOLE, PRIVATE OWN husband.
because the Authors of the Bible were PRO POLYGAMY - they did not say LET EVERY MAN HAVE HIS OWN WIFE and LET WOMEN HAVE THEIR OWN HUSBAND,
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
1Co 7:37 Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep himself the virgin, doeth well.
Heb 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
1Pe 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation.
The men in 1Co_7:2 were to have themselves wives
The woman in 1Co_7:2 were to have their own / separate / individual / private own husbands.
According to the Original Manuscripts Of The Bible.

You're not supposed to be amorous with anyone before marriage. It's ok to date two females at once, though. Polyamory and dating are two different things.Do you think its morally ok from a Christian standpoint to date 2 females at once being the both are ok with it of course. Would such a relationship be frowned upon in a Church.
Depends on how you define happy. I think you're more concerned with pleasure, which cannot be prolonged past the event one finds pleasurable. Happiness is something long lasting. If all you want is an active sex life, eventually, that will turn sour, because you will need more and more extreme acts to get what you're trying to achieve.And they'll regret it for the rest of their unhappy married lives.
I think dating is considered the period of getting to know a prospective spouse, and doesn't include having sex. It should involve lots of conversation about really deep topics.Dating is not ok at all. You should save yourself for your wife. People with multiple sex partners have less satisfaction in their marriage and a higher divorce rate.
Actually, a lot of things are frowned upon. I was missionary dating and I got my wife from the mission field and that is frowned upon in the Church. But I was self supporting and as far as I can remember no one has ever given me any money for my service to God.

Matrimonial love comes from the heart, not the sexual organs.
Then define it. FWIW, pleasure can be derived from plenty of other places than your sex life. All I said is that pleasure cannot last longer than the activity that produces it. (If eating large bags of potato chips gives you pleasure, that pleasure stops when you stop eating potato chips.) I used the example because of the context, but there's no fixation on sex.È una semplificazione eccessiva, mio caro fratello. I've never said so. You seem to be fixated on sex for some reason.
It's much more than that.
