For those who think there is an innocent party in a marriage where there has been the acting out of adultery!
No one has been perfectly faithful to God. We have all been unfaithful many times in our lives, when we opted to do things our own way rather than seeking God for the answer.
Romans 3:10
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"
When we realize that not one of us has been perfectly pure in our hearts, we know that anything that is not of God is sin and anything that is not of God is adultery. To make ourselves the authority in our own lives, even sometimes, pushes God out, making ourselves above Him.
Adultery is loving another, whether it be self or another idol, is unfaithfulness against God.
Matthew 16:4
"A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed."
Those who place their trust in their comfort, their pleasure or their personal gain, anything other than Christ, are adutlerous.
Romans 8:6-11 "Matthew 5:27-28
King James Version (KJV)
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
God sees our heart before we ever do the actions, if we never do the actions, but have adultery in our hearts we have sinned against God and are adulterers. The actions are merely evidence of what has already been in the heart.
Those who will not forgive their adulterous spouses, have unforgiveness in their hearts, are in sin, and those who will not wait on their spouses for their repentance, are harboring self righteousness and bitterness in their hearts.
Christ died for us while we were yet sinners, can we not also be willing to suffer, waiting for our spouses to repent, willing to get on with our lives in the Lord apart from sin to relieve our own discomfort.
I walked into a Starbucks shop a few months ago. I ordered my drink and moved toward a chair that was available, all the other chairs were taken, and in the other chairs were some men, seemingly associated with one another, I didn't think anything of it and sat in the chair to drink my coffee.
After a couple of minutes in the chair, a young man in his thirties asked me to get out of the chair because he had planned on sitting there near his friends.
Keep in mind that I am a gray-haired 60 year old woman and there were no other chairs available in the shop.
I was astounded, and said, "Oh, alright." I got up and had to leave because there was no place to sit. The man who had asked me to get out of his chair, sat down while I walked out the door to my car.
Is it any wonder why I have such a low opinion of the town I live in. This sort of disrespect happens frequently here.
When I was a young woman, men were still giving up their chairs for the sake of a woman no matter what her age, but especially an older woman.
Not one of those men in that shop gave up their chair for me, nor did they even look to see if they could find one.
I experience this kind of disrespect constantly on the part of those who were raised in this area of the country.
When I was living in South Carolina and Kentucky, a woman was treated with a great deal of respect, never would a man have sat down while a woman was standing. The men even rose from their chairs when a woman entered the room, out of respect.
Thank you women's libbers, you have destroyed all vestige of honor toward women. The men in this are have never been taught basic respect and honor to anyone,let alone for the gentile gender.
I don't know what it feels like anymore to be treated with respect or honor. I have little desire to be around young people anymore. I ask God to help me be individually discerning, so that I do not return evil for evil.
One thing for sure, I desire to be released from this area of the country, please, someone tell me there are other places not so hateful and mean.
2 Timothy 3
King James Version (KJV)
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
Lord come soon!!!
