Again

 Easton's Bible Dictionary: Covet; a strong desire after the possession of worldly things (Col. 3:5; Eph. 5:5; Heb. 13:5; 1 Tim. 6:9, 10; Matt. 6:20). It assumes sometimes the more aggravated form of avarice, which is the mark of cold-hearted worldliness.

Avarice: av·a·rice (ahv'uhr-ihs)
noun
Extreme desire for wealth; greed.
 What is being talked about here is the strong desire of worldly things rather than spiritual.

so one goes through the bible....looking for loop holes ....to see what they can get away with.

 

the fact that someone will search the bible looking for these loop holes tells me they already know they are probably doing something they shouldn't be doing.

 

if God stood in front of us right now and we could ask him about porn....what do you think he would say?

 

(now i didn't start any of this to argue with you. I started posing these questions because someone explained how we are not living as Christ would want us to if we are not allowing our husbands to be leaders. And if someone is going to accuse someone else of being a sinner.....one can expect the other is not sinful.)

Granted

Quote From: darcylove

1. marital disloyalty; adultery. 2. unfaithfulness; disloyalty. 3. lack of religious faith, esp. Christian faith. 4. a breach of trust or a disloyal act; transgression.
 Still, no where does it say anything refering to voyeuristic (spelling) activities.

Yes, no preacher, priest, therapist is going to say it's not a problem with one viewing porn when the other has a problem with it. Still, they can not point to any difinition that it is infidelity. Now it must be understood that I am not saying one can not feel that way. I'm saying they do so out of their own definition(s), not actual definition.

 I don't look for loop holes. I also work very hard to not read into what is not there.

so can I 'pop' by tonight???

Quote From: allinall

 on this lust thing. It's natural to want better. When that desire turns to interfering with ones life and happiness because they don't have it, is when it becomes destructive. So, again, I say I can understand where porn has created a rift in a relationship, it is definitely a bad thing. Still, it is the individuals self determination on how badly they will allow it to disrupt their life. Will they allow it to destroy their relationship or will they view it as a problem that needs working on.

Is it infidelity? No. Not by any actual definition of infidelity.

I'll be 'there' in  minutes , think your wife will mind me getting a few smily thingy's from you?

on what disc is it? what do you call those thingy's?  I must try to find me sum!

Another Commandment

 #9 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." So, to accuse another of infidelity when the definition of infidelity does not sudstantiate the claim, that is bearing false witness.

I'm not trying to rebuke your right to believe the definition you want to.

yes loop holes

Quote From: allinall

 I don't look for loop holes. I also work very hard to not read into what is not there.

and if you are looking for what is not there....that is looking for look holes.

 

again I doubt if we can go to our local churches and find a preacher and have him say "sure porn is just fine."

 

he won't split hairs. he won't say "Porn is fine unless your spouse is not okay with it."

 

he won't say "Porn is okay when you are not getting as much sex as you like"

 

He won't say "Let me get out the bible and see if there is anything written on it and if there isn't....then it is okay."

 

He won't have you define what kind of porn, why you use it, or how often you are using it.

 

I am fairly certain that 99% of those legitimate preachers, rabbis and priest out there will say "Porn is a big fat no no."

 

so quit trying to work hard at not reading into what is not there.  because i think the answer is pretty clear.
