Jesus said this:
[27]You have heard that it was said, `You shall not commit adultery.'
[28] But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:27-28 RSV
I suspect there are people that have trouble with this commandment. As a matter of fact, I sometimes have trouble with it myself. Is it important that we do the best we can to obey this commandment, or are we free to ignore the more difficult commandments?
