!!!Adultery defined!!!

[Encryptus]

What constitutes adultery?

Is it solely the physical act which without birth control could result in child?

If so gay sex could not be adultery.

Is it online porn?

Online chat room?

Jesus said one could be guilty of committing adultery in their heart.

Is this topic too hot for AFF?

Wow who needs a Thady?

[SDG]

Didn't Jesus already define this?

The issue was raised on another thread.

Is online porn adultery?

So it seems it still needs to be defined.

[Sherri]

It's emotional adultery, IMO.

[Margies3]

We used to have a pastor who believed that any time a partner in a marriage put anything or anyone except God above their spouse, then they were committing adultery in their hearts with that person or thing.

Whatcha think? Too broad a brush?

[MrsMcD]

I'm not sure how to word this but I would think that anything that doesn't include a spouse would be considered adultery to the spouse that wasn't included. Hopefully, that makes sense.

[Cindy]

Hello? Jesus seemed to think adultery started in the heart not the physical body. How hard is that to understand?

[Scott Hutchinson]

Adultery is martial unfaithfulness in short cheating whereas fornication is all unclean sexual practices.
Viewing online porn to me wouldn't be physical adultery.

Adultery
voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse.

extramarital sex that willfully and maliciously interferes with marriage relations; "adultery is often cited as grounds for divorce"

voluntary sexual activity (as sexual intercourse) between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband; also : the crime of adultery

1. The unfaithfulness of a married person to the marriage bed; sexual intercourse by a married man with another than his wife, or voluntary sexual intercourse by a married woman with another than her husband. Note: It is adultery on the part of the married wrongdoer. The word has also been used to characterize the act of an unmarried participator, the other being married. In the United States the definition varies with the local statutes. Unlawful intercourse between two married persons is sometimes called double adultery (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/double%20adultery);

I don't quite know how to word this, but what if the spouse can't and you have to for yourself?:reaction :lol Is it still adultery then? :blush:oops:bolt

It really is about the heart.

[Scott Hutchinson]

If a man looks at a woman to lust after her he has committed adultery in his heart.
So folks don't go around wearing daisy dukes.

But if we do Brother Scott, you must learn to bounce those eyes. :bliss

[Scott Hutchinson]

We must bounce our eyes ,but if it ain't for sale don't advertise men or women.

[Scott Hutchinson]

MRS.Mcd I can't even imagine you wearing daisy dukes,you are too much of a class act for that.

[Cindy]

My daisy dukes wearing days are long gone!!! :toofunny

And we are all grateful for that Rico..........:toofunny

[MrsMcD]

I agree but lots of folks do advertise. I guess they are saying look but don't touch.

[MrsMcD]

MRS.Mcd I can't even imagine you wearing daisy dukes,you are too much of a class act for that.

LOL - I can't imagine me wearing them either. Even if I weren't a Christian, I wouldn't wear them.

[Scott Hutchinson]

If you ain't thrashy don't dress thrashy.

Mrs.McD,

I have counseled many women and men where porn was involved. The one without the adiction felt that adultery was committed. They felt betrayed and trust lost.

I counsel very similarly with the actual adultery and perceived such as you are describing with use of porn.

Since the Bible tells us that if a man looks at a woman to lust after her in his heart - he commits adultery...BIBLICALLY you would have to say ADULTERY has been commited.

Blessings, Rhoni

I believe this is the answer.

[Scott Hutchinson]

But hey Praise God,Jesus can forgive one who has committed adultery.

[MrsMcD]

Jesus does forgive but I cannot imagine how hard it would be to forgive my husband if he committed adultery. I know that I would have to but I bet it would take a long time.

[Scott Hutchinson]

If I cheated my wife would proably shoot me,so I'll stay true blue.
