1 | married men | Matt 5:28 | ColoradoNancy | 23341 | ||
I will assume we are talking about Christians here, because in the world all these things are practiced, usually without conscience. On the other hand, however, I wonder how a Christian could even ask such a question! For a woman to date a married man is a betrayal of all she believes in the Lord; a betrayal of marriage, a betrayal of other women. A betrayal of that which is sacred before the Lord. For a man who is married to even consider dating is the ultimate betrayal. If a woman becomes sexually involved with a married man she commits adultery, as does the man. Any person who is practicing such behaviour must be disciplined in the church, held accountable for their actions, removed from any position of authority/leadership (including choir, usher, parking cars). The key here is the word PRACTICING: keeping on with, continuing without repentance. When a person sins and claims (by word or action) that which he/she has done to not be sin and continues in that thing without repentance they must be disciplined even unto removal from the church. One who repents and submits to Godly council may be fully restored in the church. I see this is not practiced in the church today for the most part and I would reason this to be why so much that is false and antichristian is infiltrating. Now, as I understand the Word, if a divoice has occurred due to adultery the one against whom this sin has been committed is free, fully free in the Lord ... even to remarry. |

2 | Is lusting after wife sin? | Matt 5:28 | ColoradoNancy | 23339 | ||
Can a man commit adultery with his own wife? I just want to say this ... to "lust" after something is actually making that thing into a god, putting it before the One God in our lives. A man must be careful of that in his desire. Also, the Word says of husband and wife each to consider that in making commitment to each other, they also commit to providing for their partners sexual satisfaction. Each unto the other. This is a good thing that God established. Let me point out from the Word something that is often missed by men. In 1 Cor 7:2 We read, "Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. (and 4) The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time ..... " Reading carefully the words here, we see that once again, it is Love which the Lord promotes. Love does not demand. Now, if a husband is practicing Godly love toward his wife, he, in considering her body his own, must be willing to accept his wife's "no" in love and respect in addition to rejoicing at her "yes" Again, Lust demands. Godly love does not demand. Men, be loving and kind and gentle with your wives, assigning them honor as the weaker vessel. |

3 | How has Solomon come to know. | Prov 16:1 | ColoradoNancy | 22859 | ||
How has Solomon come to know what? I am afraid I do not understand your question. If it is simply, Where did Solomon obtain his wisdom ... It was given him by the Lord God. Fascinating account ... God offered him everything, but Solomon said he only wanted wisdom to rule God's people well. God was so pleased that he gave Solomon the requested wisdom and ALSO riches galore! |
