[Are you Jesus? Like the Rock says, “It doesn’t matter what you think”.
Jesus is very clear - the man who looks upon a woman in lust has committed adultery with her in his heart.]
You are not taking this comment in the proper context. stuartcr and I have been chatting about grounds for divorce/remarriage. I’m not arguing that having lust in your heart (but not acting on it) is not a sin. But I don’t think its the same as actually committing adultery: It is not grounds for a divorce to simply have lust in your heart imo.
“It is not grounds for a divorce to simply have lust in your heart imo.”
Ah. Forgive me then. For sinning, yes it doesn’t matter. For divorce, requires the act of will. And even then - divorce is still the decision of the faithful party, not of the adulterer. If the faithful party chooses to forgive, then the adulterer is bound.
