re: what is your definition of adultery?

Definition of adultery
: voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than that person's current spouse or partner
also : an act of adultery

This is from webster.

.......engaging in sexual intercourse with someone other than your spouse. God meant covenant marriage to be: 1) exclusive, 2) total, and 3) open to new life. If you don't know what all that means look it up in the Bible. Matthew 5:27-32 is a good place to start. Then supplement your research on adultery by reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

In the Old Testament adultery was punishable by stoning. Islam still stones people (women)for the offense. Today in America adultery is considered in vogue.

I really don't get the whole thing. Are you saying that your wife holding out on you is adultery? It's not. But it does mean that she's not attracted to you or into you. Even if she's turning you down for her hand or wand, it's not adultery.

It IS however, grounds for divorce. Think about it like this... You both pledged that you would only have sex with each other. She would rather do without instead of sex with you. Does that sound like someone you want to hitch your wagon to? Look up ILASM and start reading.

Congrats on getting out of a one sided agreement.

Paul indicated he believed he believed that he had the “mind of God” (vs 40) on the matters he articulated in chapter 7. However it should be taken as advice rather than as a commandment. Sound advice, but advice nonetheless.

The truth conveyed in Proverbs 5:15-19 also lines up with this precept and addresses his issue.

Bottom line, he is in a sad state of affairs.

Sorry for the wall of text.

This is directed for, not at, Christians regarding divorce and remarriage.

Do you believe what the Bible says?

Here are some Bible verses with some questions to see if anyone looking at them can read and have any understanding:

All verses are from the King James Bible unless noted otherwise.

Matthew 19:

1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan; 2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Question #1: What is the only cause that a person is permitted to divorce according to Jesus?

Question #2: What is the result for a person who divorces for reason other than adultery and remarries?

Question #3: What is the result for a person who marries “her” which is put away, divorced” for reason other than adultery?

Here are other statements by Jesus that are similar or the same regarding divorce.

Matthew 5: 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Mark 10: 2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

beleive God made us to have sex with our spouses two to three times per week

what verse is that

---

quote:

---

the male body produces a new batch of sperm about every 72 hours; that’s the way God made us men. if sex with spouse were achieved on average every 72 hours, that would be approximately 2 to 3 times per week. not a verse, but science.

---

God made women to have a menstrual cycle roughly once a month. That also is science. Leviticus 18:19 says the following:

quote:

---

“You must not approach a woman in her menstrual impurity to have sexual intercourse with her”

So your “science” is bullshite and is nowhere near Biblical. All you’ve done is make an arse of yourself with your very flawed logic.
