The Bible teaches strict monogamy, where sex is only between a married couple and when you get married, you stay married until one of you dies. Today, this view is seen as overly restrictive and archaic. But if we switch from strict monogamy to polygamy, promiscuity, or serial monogamy, who wins and who loses? Largely, the winners are high status men, and the losers are women, low status men, and children.
Disclosure: I've been married twice and my first wife is still alive, so I have not fully lived out strict monogamy. But it is still the right way to live.
Can you define "morality" in order to understand what you mean when you try to talk about anything "immoral"?
Can you provide the method you use to recognize and differentiate the morality of any action/behaior in order to call something "immoral"?
The context here is what the Bible calls sexual immorality, which is deviation from strict monogamy.
In general, morality is a set of beliefs about right and wrong. My particular set of beliefs comes from the Bible.

...I see a problem in your definition of "morality", as right and wrong are adjectives, but you list no NOUN that they are related. If you do not understand what I am saying then answer this...If you provide an answer that is "wrong" are you being immoral since you would be "wrong"?
I am also asking what method you use to recognize and differentiate what is moral vs amoral vs immoral in order to claim anything is "immoral"?
I think I understand how you recognize morality, but want to confirm.
Is your understanding of how to classify morality "subject" to the word of God in that IF YOU BELIEVE that God reveals himself to you as he did to Paul thru divine revalation and ask you to kill your neighbor and his family that YOU would then classify the morality of the act: "killing your neighbor and his family" as _____.
A...Moral
B...Amoral
C...Immoral
D...I do not know how to answer this so will either avoid answering or will provide a reply that does not let us know how you would classify the act...
God has the authority to command individuals to commit acts that would be otherwise immoral based on his other commands. So, if God really did command a person to kill another person, that act in obedience to that command would then be moral.

...So If someone kills your parents because they BELIEVE God commanded them to kill your parents and you, then you would agree that killing your parents was a moral act, because it was a command from God...Would you also accept that they must kill you since they BELIEVE God commanded them to kill you too? Thank you for answering my question about HOW you recognize what is moral vs immoral, as it sheds light on why Christians BELIEVE that God's commands must be moral...The reason is because YOU BELIEVE they are... If anyone BELIEVES that God is giving them an order then no matter what action they BELIEVE God is commanding them to do, the act MUST be considered MORAL. There is NO act that you could do that would be considered immoral as long as you BELIEVE God is commanding it...
