Southern Baptist Preacher Affirms Polyamory (Interview with Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood)

By Jim on Wed, 09/27/17
Society & Culture
Polyamory

The Holy Trinity is a polyamorous relationship. You can’t talk about the level of intimacy and ecstacy that these three beings are constantly experiencing without defining their relationship in such a way. Their love has always been and will always be a shared phenomenon. In the Holy Trinity, love is never denied. We should spend our lives making sure that the love of polyamorous individuals is never denied and always protected. The Holy Trinity demands it.

CM: As a pastor, what kind of responses have you received for your affirmation of polyamory?

JH: The only people who have responded negatively are church a**holes that have no knowledge of God.

CM: Any more-positive responses from the church world?

JH: No.

NewNot just polyamory

Wed, 09/27/17

…but incest. Think about it; the Trinity is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So if it’s polyamorous, it’s incestuous, too. Somehow the movie “Deliverance” comes to mind as appropriate to his “theology”.

And interestingly, his bios reference only one wife. It is as if she said “you can preach this all you want, but bring it home, and you’re going to get an object lesson in Matthew 19:12 and Galatians 5:12.”

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.

“Dr.” Hood also views himself as queer, which has to go over like a lead balloon.
