Excerpt from “Proleptic Sexual Love: God's Promiscuity Reflected in Christian Polyamory” by Robert Goss, 2004

Christ is a promiscuous lover.
The promiscuous Christ speaks in radical terms of the 'unconditional grace of God', an eschatological concept so threatening to church leaders, who attempt to control who has access and does not have access to God's grace. Throughout history, they have attempted to regulate and restrict sexual relationships.
Likewise, we must also assert that church leaders have failed miserably in controlling the promiscuous lover, the Christ. The promiscuous Christ is found erotic love; it is the impulse to love human beings and to love God simultaneously. God's love is configured in all sorts of erotic relations. ...
The differences between monogamy and polyamory recede as we understand that Christ is the sexual outlaw, the multi-partnered groom whose erotic visitations and love-making render the differences slight.
