Agreed. Not just affair, IMO. Take sex outside marriage, for instance, which seems to be an increasingly accepted behavior nowadays. Even if we don't do it, I wonder how many of us can easily accept our brothers/sisters/neighbors who date and without doubt are having sex with their girlfriend/boyfriend outside marriage. Or to covet our neighbor's wife (modern version of it: drool over Cathrine Zeta-Jones whenever Maureen Dowd's article is posted), something that is mentioned in the Ten Commandment. Isn't such action also condemned by the Bible? Yet, we make light of it, and consider it normal. But any mention of homosexuality, even when the person who confesses his/her struggle as a gay Christian, we tend to condemn them as unforgiven sinner.
You’re absolutely correct.
Well said.
MY general thought is that I couldn’t give the house as a space for some son of mine to bring his girlfriend to live in some room, if it was his wife, on the other hand, yes.
As far as the part about coveting my neighbor’s wife goes, frankly, I have had to rethink various media I have had, and sometimes realized that I couldn’t get myself to think the right things through their use, and shredded them, cut them up, or threw them away, because I ultimately had to make my own judgement call that they weren’t encouraging me to think the right thing, or do the right thing either.
