Heb 13:4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Mar 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation, God 'MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE.'
Mar 10:7 'FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE,
Mar 10:8 AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Mar 10:9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."

Polyamory is just having a relationship with more than one person at a time-nothing wrong here, surely?
Fornicators/adulterers refers to married persons!

A "fornicator" is not a married person. God made us male and female to be joined to be husband and wife, not to be polygamist.
