Great lesson! Been struggling with lust alot (mainly pornography) and have been trying to understand the exact meaning of "Adultery" as when I think of the word I think of "sexual relations with another woman while married". This makes perfect sense though as it is sexual relations with any woman who is not your wife. I am now pretty much trying to stay away from the computer except for looking up Christian videos :)
So then is “adultery in the heart” a grounds for divorce? If your husband in continually watching pornography and lusting at after other women? Where does this stand? Is this classified as unfaithfulness? Jesus said just to look was adultery in the heart. It’s the fact that one persons heart has turned away from the marriage they are in.! They are unsatisfied with the wife they have so it just starts with a look
It's infidelity. it is considered even by the world's standards as cheating. So I would say so. Jesus didn't mince his words when he said "But I say to you, whomever looks at a woman to lust for her has ALREADY committed adultery WITH her in his heart." My husband was caught in this pornography stuff, absolutely wrecked our marriage and destroyed me on multiple levels. I tried to overcome it...but after 11 years of trying I finally gave in after I found he'd been looking at shorts on TH-cam of girls in short skirts, IDF female soldiers flaunting their bits....it showed he was not repentant. so I left. the kids and I left...leaving him for God to deal with.
Thanks brother for the lesson, and may God bless you too!
thanks for the faithful lesson :)
