Dear bandaid, Well there you go. Apparently you’ve had the answer all along, so why the hubbub? Although to claim that viewing pornography equates to adultery is a bit of a stretch, and although I’ll disagree with that thought process, others may not. May as well already convict me of murder then if this is your thought process because to my shame I have hated people in my life time. You see where this leads us, we would be putting a bunch of innocent people in prison should we begin to try and judge them on their thoughts. Did you read the scripture I posted? Pornography is sinful yes, I will not debate that, it falls into the category of sexually immoral but it is not adultery. It will entice your lusts and potentially lead to adultery, but it is not. “This command forbids not only the acts of fornication and adultery, but, (1.) All appetites to them, all lusting after the forbidden object; this is the beginning of the sin, lust conceiving (Jam_1:15); it is a bad step towards the sin; and where the lust is dwelt upon and approved, and the wanton desire is rolled under the tongue as a sweet morsel, it is the commission of sin, as far as the heart can do it; there wants nothing but convenient opportunity for the sin itself. Adultera mens est - The mind is debauched. Ovid. Lust is conscience baffled or biassed: biassed, if it say nothing against the sin; baffled, if it prevail not in what is says. (2.) All approaches toward them; feeding the eye with the sight of the forbidden fruit; not only looking for that end, that I may lust; but looking till I do lust, or looking to gratify the lust, where further satisfaction cannot be obtained.” – Matthew Henry “saving for the cause of fornication; which must not be taken strictly for what is called fornication, but as including adultery, incest, or any unlawful copulation; and is opposed to the sense and practices of the Pharisees, who were on the side of Hillell: who admitted of divorce, upon the most foolish and frivolous pretences whatever; when Shammai and his followers insisted on it, that a man ought only to put away his wife for uncleanness; in which they agreed with Christ. For so it is written (i),” – John Gill You see, this is exactly what Jesus was explaining. We invent so many ways don’t we? We don’t like the command or the truth so we rationalize our way around it. Marital unfaithfulness, adultery, this includes the act of doing. It starts with a thought. That is why you must know that cleanliness has to start on the inside, with our heart. Do yourself a favor, look up the word adultery in a reliable dictionary. Stand in His grace, WOS |

That wasn't the question. lol! Maybe you should reread it. Although the answer to this one Cheri and I came up with. You're right, what was all the hubbub! Simple enough question, simple enough answer. You guys are the ones who added all the rabbit trails and hubbub. I simply asked you all to stay focused on the questions. To sit and fester on how you would kill these people you hated day after day fantasising every detail. Any difference between hating and being angry, or fantasising/dwelling on the varied details of the murder while you continually stab a pillow. There is a difference. No-one said anything about prison or mans laws. The questions are all concerning Gods laws. Now you are being nasty. Hello, If I wanted mans definition, I would have gone to the dictionary. And this site is for __________.(StudyBibleForum)If I wanted Yahoo!Answers I would have gone there. I'm simply quoting the bible, what Jesus said. Jesus said quite clearly it was adultery. porneia. But seeing this is what you came up with, I'll accept that as being your best shot. Thanks. |

Dear bandaid, Sister, when you are ready for the truth and a serious study, you’ll receive a far better reception than by throwing insults around. My post answered every one of your questions with scripture. Many others have answered your many questions with scripture. But it seems all you want to do is address your own personal interpretation, which is an injustice to God’s word to say the least. I’ll continue you in prayer, but must let you know, you’re not fooling anyone, at least not the majority of us. When you ready for the truth and really care to study God’s word for what it truly says, let me know, I’d love to join. Until then, I guess I’ll just stay in my fantasy world. At least I know here, I’m viewing God’s word rightly and in truth. Trust me, in the truth there is much grace. I pray you stop your out of context rationalization of God’s word and step into that grace. No “lol” from me, I’m saddened by what you are trying to do to the Word. :( Most of us hold it in the highest regard knowing who the author is. 2 Timothy 3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Stand in His grace, WOS |
