5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Jesus's words again! What about King David? What about Abraham? etc. etc. Lusting and adultery was all through the Old Testament and God didn't seem to mind, but now you are in trouble for just looking at a woman with lust. I'm just glad that it says nothing about looking at a man with lust. Seems, sometimes, like the bible only applies to men. Jesus is tough and very judgmental.
I think Jimmy Carter admitted to breaking this rule.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Bill Clinton might also have had problems with it.
