This thread just comes across as perverted honestly

Not even sure what its trying to justify. if you are committing adultery, confess it. God can forgive you, but youve got to repent.

adultery is wrong on so many levels and ruins marriages it will also produce unclean children.

Churches are right to remove adulterers and adulteresses from the congregation who are preying on the sheep. This may not be what you want to hear...but dont go against what God says.

I know many former adulterers and adulteresses have a lot of problems in their personal lives BECAUSE they went against God and stole what belonged to someone else. They may enjoy it for a season, but God will judge them in the end if they fail to repent.

men are especially stupid if they think they can keep adultery secret from their wives.
also its very obvious when a woman commits it. You cant hide a pregnancy either. It will end in murder of the child mostly if they dont come clean.

if all you think about is sex, from time immemorial prostitutes have provided a service but you'll need to PAY them.

It all starts with the thought life. What we give ourselves to, we become.
If we give ourselves to Holy relationship with the Father, He will respond.
The trouble with the thought life manifested as sexual sin and probably many others that didn't leave lives of wreckage behind .
best wishes

That's too bad because the "Word" says

Provebers 1:7
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

Perhaps if the study of the word is practiced certain feelings start to develop. Feeling and emotion are a part of the human condition in which God fully understands.

I agree completely with that. However, our feeling doesn't change what God said about sin or other things. Yet he is able to be merciful. And the blessing is in the marriage, not in the unmarried. God has not changed his mind because of our feelings.

The law says the punishment for adultery is death. Moses gave reasons for divorce and remarriage. Jesus said "It was because of the hardiness of your hearts" Jesus called divorce and remarriage adultery, but never called for any punishment. Are there different types of adultery. It seems the two are treated differently.

Christ raised the bar so to speak for us. It can be shocking to us how kind how merciful our God is. Take the demons that He cast out.. they asked to be cast into the pigs.. He said yes. Listen to how Christ said it "Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives". So they could look at woman and lust.. Christ changed it raise it.. now if you just think in your heart you committed adultery. Were told to bring every thought into captivity "casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. "

Now some choose to remember ones past and sins and holds it against them GOD does not. A simple song OLD yet so true it was about young girls.. you can get the just 'If you've done it and wonder what to do...go to Jesus He will make you brand new".

Divorce is wrong yet what's done is done and in most case's it can not be undone so you repent know HE forgives.. some of His KIDS won't forgive you they will hold it against you VERY unwise that has a price in their life. Just get up dust off keep going.

I do agree with one poster.. this is getting very strange in what's getting talked about.. I want no part

The Greek words translated “casting down imaginations” in the KJV can also be translated as “destroying arguments” (ESV) or “destroying speculations” (NASB 1995). These latter translations add some clarity to the meaning of the phrase. Paul is utilizing divine weapons to destroy or bring down speculations, arguments, and reasonings that are against the knowledge of God.

Paul was not talking about your thought life. He talking about argument with the philosophers of his day.

I'm not having sex with any married women. Not interested in any married woman. So there is no adultery.

Where does it say that in the bible? I remember when the movie "The Bible" came out around 1967. Churches were upset because they showed Adam and Eve naked in the movie.

the issue is not single women. It's your LUST!


James 1:14-16
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed. 15 Then, when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

What do you do when your Lust for single women who do not desire you ?

Force them?

Lusting after a MARRIED woman is wrong. That is what Jesus was talking about.

NO, Lust is always wrong. And the actions of lust are not godly. No lust in the bible self-identifies as a good thing. Try all you want it is not biblical. Slice it, dice it. Lust is no good.

"I lust for my wife." or "unmarried women."

It is a foolish statement and
