My statement that I wouldn't sleep around with porn stars or cocktail waitresses scares you? Are you serious? I'm left to assume, then, that you would. Now that's scary. Doesn't surprise me though.
Sad, but I don't apologize or feel bad that my refusal to sleep with skanky, possibly disease infested women, scares you. I like my health and body too much to ruin it for temporary satisfaction with those kind of women.
It is amazing how often the pure become defiled and the defiled become pure. The prodigal son was awful but in the end, he was celebrated and fussed over, while the older son, who had been perfectly behaved, was condemned.
The Pharisee and the sinner stood together. The Pharisee was pure, the sinner was sinful. But it was the sinner who went away justified.
In the end, if Tiger comes clean and straightens up his act, it could very well be the same again....he will be pure and the stone-throwers will be defiled.
How one could ever say, "That could never be me" is beyond me. Yes, if I were in Tiger's shoes, maybe I would "sleep around with skanky"......however it was that you described it. And yes, for anyone to say, "I would never" is scary to me.
What is blowing my mind is how anyone can marry an imperfect human and expect them to remain perfect for years after the so called sacred vows are taken!! What if Christ were to forsake us in the same fashion? None of us would stand a chance!!!

Uhhhh...I think expecting your spouse to remain 100% faithful is a reasonable expectation. The way your post is worded, it sounds like you don't think anyone can remain faithful to their marriage!

Yes I expected it from my spouse!! But when she wasnt I didnt throw her away like an old shoe!! When she wasnt again and yet again I still did not throw her away! I came to the realization along with her that she had some severe issues and was later diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. If I had given up on her it would have torn an otherwise very good family apart! My point is we are the bride of Christ and we repeatedly fail to remain perfectly without sin. We are to forgive 7 times 70 which I was taught was infinetly. But even if it is 490 times would you be willing to forgive your spouse for that many indescretions??!!!

Or at least 10% faithful...Eldridge...

I wouldn't say that I'd never have an affair, or get involved in a bad situation. I hope that would never happen, but I wouldn't say it can't happen to me.
However, I will say that there's not a chance I would allow myself to have sex with a porn star or other sleazy, easy women who sleep around. Not on the coldest day in hell, my friend.
As I said before, I like my health and body too much to abuse it for temporary satisfaction.

It doesn't take a porn star to get a disease - - it could be a beautiful women sitting in church right a few rows ahead of you. Whoever she's slept with could have given something to her. If you like your health and body too much to abuse, then stay monogamous period.
