Bible Question:
Mat 5:27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' Mat 5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. I have a question for these two verses. Is it possible that Jesus is saying that you shouldnt even look at your own wife lustfully? Becouse he just says a "woman". Cant that mean any woman? Im not married but i have a "friend" and if i cant look at her lustfully, im afraid i can never be in a relationship, ever. |
Bible Answer: Hi KumKum. Leviticus 20:10. And the man that committeth adultery with [another] man's wife, [even he] that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. There is no way in which Jesus could possibly be refering to a man's own wife, as it is only possible to commit Adultry with another man's wife see above. Regarding the last line of your post, please don't be upset, refer to the following Scripture verses. 1Cr 7:7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. 1Cr 7:8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am. 1Cr 7:9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion. Paul's advice to you is, "If you lust after your friend, then marry her" To "Lust" is here described as "to be aflame with passion". I hope that this is of help to you. ebrain. |
