1 | Jesus' teachings on sexual immorality | 1 Cor 5:5 | Singing For Him | 118965 | ||
Thank you BradK for the scriptures and information. From what you've pulled together it looks like they are left alone in their sin in hopes that they will someday return to the Lord afterwards. Also as a part of my question, did Jesus mention anywhere in his teachings how to deal with sexual immorality or even what He considered it to be specifically? I know someone who only takes what Jesus said as literal. The other books of the New Testament are not taken literally by them so I was wondering if Jesus touched on the subject also. |

2 | Jesus' teachings on sexual immorality | 1 Cor 5:5 | BradK | 118978 | ||
Singing For Him, A couple of scriptures come to mind: Matt. 15:19 "“For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders." Matt. 5:27-28 "“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." We also have the case of the woman caught in adultery and brought by the Pharisees to Jesus in John 8:3-4. Remember, all scripture must be understood by the context. Even the words of Jesus- though truth- must be studied within the proper context. Taking all He said as literal- unless warrant exists- is to arrive at potentially unfounded and incorrect conclusions. Scripture either stands or falls as a complete unit, comprised of ALL 66 books. In this regard, 2 Timothy 3:16 rings true, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
