Issues: Adultery

(NEW SITE)

"But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself. "-Proverby 6:32


Personal Story

When I was growingup in St. Paul, my parents fought all the time. They told me it was natural as parents as they try to convey their issues and work it out together. There were times where I got really bothered hearing them fight. In fact, it affected my social life going to school. I was very quite, shy, and passive somehow when I was with my friends or classmates. It seem like I was holding-up this anger inside and I didn't know where to release it-really didn't have anyone to confide or talk to about how I felt.

I remember several times my mom would say "I want a divorce" or "I don't know why I married your dad". This really hurted me because I didn't want to see my dad or mom to separate. I remember saying this a couple of times as I matured, "You two brought us (my siblings and I) to this world together, so you need to stay together to bring us into the world! Then you can get divorce, but till then you need to finish the job you started". Looking back at this, I personally feel parents have to be careful what they say in front of their kids. I wished my mom had another adult she could express our feelings to. I feel parents need that extra support or sometype of fellowship of other adults that are close to share; instead of their kids. Parents need to model for their children. Children are the real victims of their parents actions: adulther, divorce, abuse, etc...It's sad that they can't just speak up on how they feel!

"Discussion about Divorce and Marriage Then Jesus left Capernaum and went southward to the region of Judea and into the area east of the Jordan River. As always there were the crowds, and as usual he taught them. 2 Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: "Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife?" 3 "What did Moses say about divorce?" Jesus asked them. 4 "Well, he permitted it," they replied. "He said a man merely has to write his wife an official letter of divorce and send her away."* 5 But Jesus responded, "He wrote those instructions only as a concession to your hard-hearted wickedness. 6 But God's plan was seen from the beginning of creation, for `He made them male and female.'* 7 `This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife,* 8 and the two are united into one.'* Since they are no longer two but one, 9 let no one separate them, for God has joined them together." 10 Later, when he was alone with his disciples in the house, they brought up the subject again. 11 He told them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery."

Did you know that adultery is more than "cheating" on a married (1 Corinthians 7)woman as many you think? It is also having emotional thoughtful lust towards a married man/woman! Today is Wednesday, June 2nd of 2004 and I decided to write on this issue after some recent unfortunate circumstances. Some people think commiting adultery isn't wrong, so I decided to share them with real-life experiences to give them a bigger picture=>

    Her Affair Destroyed (and Saved) Their Marriage

    ""Hello, my name is Nancy, and I am a cheater."
    It is said that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence--but is it really? Nancy C. Anderson--author of Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome--believed that there was greener grass outside the boundaries of her marriage, but she soon learned that it was a lie.
    This is video of her testimony, which she shared on The 700 Club in 2006.
