I’m a human being. I can have a mind and a body. If I’m on a business trip and a whore throws herself at me, in the reality of what it means to be a human being - I HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE IN MY MIND.


A friend of mine tells me this story:

His softball team flew to Yakima for a tournament. There was one member of the team that was a strong Christian and very much loved his wife.

After the first day, they went to a local sports bar to relax, play some pool and talk about the days events. In the bar was this “smokin’ hot chick” that everyone was oogling - except for this Christian guy. And the girl seemed to thrive on the oogling.

So, what happened? Yep, the Christian guy was her conquest. She slept with him. Maybe her name was Bathsheba, I dunno.

But anyway, they got back to Seattle and deplaned on the tarmac. There were the wives waiting. That guy went straight to his wife and told her what happened and apologized. Yes, she forgave him.

You are right. There is no excuse. But Jesus died for us anyway.

BTW, I’m not seeing your point in the rest of the post. I grant that God trying to explain his full plan to us is like trying to explain the color red to a person that sees only in grayscale. But God made us in His image and he does understand how we think and has exposed His eternity and his plan as well as He desires. Now I see as through a glass darkly, but then fact to face.

Oh, brother. The two valid reasons for divorce are adultery and abandonment ! So-called professing Christians are far too often tricked by false pastors into leading lives completely against what the Bible teaches. Toleration of adultery in conservative Reformed Churches is almost nil. Toleration of adultery in so many other denominations is rampant. Most professing Christians are taught a false gospel.
