Subject: Can a woman divorce man: Ongoing porn? |
Bible Note: Matt 5:28 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. Matt 5:32 but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. unchastity:4202 PORNEIA; from 4203; fornication:--fornication(4), fornications(2), immoralities(1), immorality(16), sexual immorality(1), unchastity(1). Study Notes: Jesus is saying the desire to have sex with someone other than your wife is mental adultery and thus sin. Jesus emphathized that if the act is wrong, then so is the intention. To be faithful to your wife with your body (depending) but not your mind is to break the trust so vital to a strong marriage. Is it not a sin to have sex with your wife and be thinking of someone else, or to have sex with someone else and be thinking of your wife? Jesus says clearly porn is adultery. The old saying you let let a bird fly over your head, but not nest in your hair does help to summarize this. It is okay to appreciate the beauty of a womans form, just don't let it nest there, or hurt your wife. Biblical grounds for divorce is adultery. Mans laws do not necessarily extend into the biblical text. Mans divorce laws usually means physical adultery. Jesus is biblically stating that porn is grounds for divorce. (ie., unchastity:porneia) There are people around still who really don't look at porn and it is still biblically considered adultery no matter what the world says. |
