Because it's hard not to do, it must not be a sin?

connorsmom1,

You are correct. The Bible teaches that men should lust for their
wives.

The sin is lusting after something that does not belong to you. It
doesn't just have to be sex or a woman or man it can be anything.

"The sin is lusting after something that does not belong to you. It

That makes complete sense.

Lust for sex is not the problem.

The problem is your priorities.

i believe that if you are sinning or not is up to you and your own
convictions not up to what other people may say or think.

Ghostrecon,

The same is true of the rest of the Bible. It only doesn't make sense
or seems unfair, because we don't understand it.

"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of
anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is in the water under the earth.'

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'

SIX: 'You shall not murder.'

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet
your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor
his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

Number ten is the closest to lust. It does not mean you can not have
human urges (lust) It means you should not look and say, "I wished his
wife, life, or anything he possesses"
You should be satisfied with what is yours covet that and be happy for
your neighbor for what he has. If your single and see a beautiful woman
and you say, "I want that" then that is not breaking Gods law! That is
human!!!!!

"It only doesn't make sense

The reason we don't understand it is that it's written in context that
is ancient and unfamiliar to us and also most of the text is open for
interpretation so we have inconsistencies in it too.

t is said that the bible is the most pornographic book known to man.
Just look at the old tenement and see.

New Testement is it not written.

Sin is only sin if you think it is sin.

Do not condem your self in the things you allow.

cause you to lust after them.laugh

AT, every post I have read of yours lately is filled with an inward
anger. You hold many issues with your ex. (ex's?) You need to get a
handle on those, in order to move on.
I feel bad that you are still holding on to those things. Forgive her,
so you can be cleansed for a new love.
Kat
