To a degree...Not an object, but certainly not an image of God.

I used the term “hit it” as an example. Not what I literally think. And I also do not dwell on it.

For every rule condemning something in the Bible, I have also found a very logical reason not to do the same. Adultery or "cheating on a loved one" causes a person serious problems that have nothing to do with a societies social structure, Christian or otherwise.

You could pick any commandment and use the same reasoning.

My Marriage is my life, we pledged a covenant.

I would never have it any other way.

Well, I honestly rate a woman as soon as I look at her.
1. I’d do her.
2. I wouldn’t do her.
This is almost subconscious and I am not making an excuse. Can’t remember when it hasn’t been that way.

Nothing wrong with being a natural human being. Both men and women have a natural sense of who is attractive to themselves individually and who isn't. It is the spiritual man or woman who makes a decision to cleave to one spouse for the greater good of themselves, their children and society. That decision is often tested throughout life.

That is something I tried to teach my offspring -- that rules and spiritual principles for living are not just for children and teenagers -- adults have to continue to make choices every day of their lives.

Thanks for the insightful post.

Just to be clear — I wasn't suggesting that Jimmy Carter be a source of advice on morals, or biblical interpretation. I was just trying to point out the hypocrisy of the MSM reporters, who venerate Carter, at the same time as they mock religious people (well, Christians and Jews, at any rate).
