The Marriage Covenant

[mikhailjb7]

Shiloh,

Mikhail has given you a definition based on the word 'naaph", the Hebrew word translated "adultery" in the OT. Which was what I had originally assumed that you knew. It is the reason you will always find a married woman in biblical adultery. The mans marital status is immaterial.

OK -

So by your definition, Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggert did not sin.

Swell.

mikhail...

The bible says that a man should love his wife as Christ loves the church and gave Himself for her. How can you say that a man loves his wife if he is sleeping around with any single woman he wants? That's not love my friend, that's lust and selfishness. Neither of those things describe Jesus nor how Jesus would act. You are treading on thin ice my friend when it comes to reading and interpreting scripture.

Shiloh,

May the Lord forgive you.

The notion that conjugal infedelity is only adultery when a woman instigates it, is absolutely false.

I agree Shiloh.

Mat 19:9 And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is put away commits adultery.

Man is the one who commits adultery in this verse. His sin isnt in taking another mans wife, but in taking another wife to himself.

Mar 10:11 And He said to them, Whoever shall put away his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

Mar 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband and marries to another, she commits adultery.

Equal guilt in an equal action. The woman is not singled out.

Joh 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery. And standing her in the midst,

Joh 8:4 they said to Him, Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

Joh 8:5 Now Moses in the Law commanded us that such should be stoned. You, then, what do you say?

Joh 8:6 They said this, tempting Him so that they might have reason to accuse Him. But bending down, Jesus wrote on the ground with His finger, not appearing to hear.

When the adulterous woman was brought before Jesus, one issue that was in error was that the Law required both the man and woman be brought up on charges, not the woman alone.

I don't need forgiveness for defending the truth of the Scriptures and calling your garbage what it is. It is you who need to repent for perverting the Word of God. You can drop the condescending trash.

Grace to you,

We are also using the Patriarchs as an example. The original Patriarch Adam had only one wife.

Jesus Christ has only One Bride.

Peace,

You are quite right, Dave. Something is being trying to be sold here and it's an outrageous lie. A guy's wife leaves him to shack up with another man,( a pastor to boot) and that's adultery. So this guy then has license to go a shack up with a different woman and it's not adultery. Nothing like misinterpreting God's word to suit your own agenda. Maybe the wife was handing out some of the husband's own treatment to get even.

I don't know why people use this board as a concience clearing forum. The other guy is no better for backing him up. How much more scripture do they need to prove them wrong?

they make me want to
