“But for him to be saying that if a young single man initially looked at a young single woman with lust, which he later tempered into something more reasonable, that young man is guilty of adultery, I just dont think that fits the sens of what Jesus is saying. I think thats man, putting his own fears and loathings into his interpretation.”

Which part in particular? Jesus said a great deal there!
(and nothing specifically regarding what we were discussing, so I’m interested to know why you ask)
