Adultery

In reference to the OP, and also including your question, "How does any Christian bring glory to God?"
By abiding in Him, obeying His word, and casting off all things that weigh us down, following after Jesus first, above all.
Christians who step out on Him and commit sin willingly are acting the harlot toward God. We are free people, but we are not free to take His GRACE for granted. He says in Numbers 32:23..."But if you fail to keep your word, then you will have sinned against the Lord, and you may be sure that your sin will find you out." There is a sure consequence for walking in sin and that sure consequence is loss of fellowship with God. That is a very painful wilderness, believe me.

That's not the truth.
When one has to defend oneself against the truth of God's word it is high time to humble oneself and empty oneself of self and ask for filling by the Holy Spirit...me thinks.
Well yes Adultery is wrong, divorce is not the Lord's ideal.
When the marriage vows are broken in any form or way, is this not marital unfaithfulness? Is that not at heart what adultery is?
So..I stand at the alter with a woman and vow to love honour and obey till death parts us.....
OK so pity help her if she burns my toast....if she does,.......she'll be toast. (just kidding)
But though I don't do some sly bed hopping, but I let her know that it isn't at all healthy to burn my toast, surely I'm guilty of marital unfaithfulness because I have not loved, honoured and / or cherished her more than my morning toast.
So I'm suggesting that things are not necessarily black and white on this issue.

He's actually defending himself against attacks, not "the truth." It's amazing how ignorant people are on certain issues. They fight to the death over things that are their personal beliefs that have no biblical basis.

I would say that bedding some slut that works in your office is not anywhere near being pissed at your wife for being unable to do a simple task in the kitchen. It is a black and white issue. Either you are lusting after someone or screwing them. The reason this is a grey issue in the church is because the church has to have tithers or they go out of business. This is an accepted sin in the church for that reason alone, which is disgusting.
Be careful friend before your "Christian" mask comes off!

Is it? You are saying something is sinful when you have no proof. You don't get it, and people like yourself probably never will. You're saying that someone being attracted to a certain gender is sinful and you have no biblical proof because there isn't any. You will never find a verse in the Bible that says that because it isn't sinful and cannot be changed. I'm done with you. You've need to stay on topic. This is my last reply to your crap unless it's related to adultery, which apparently people don't care about much.
I agree!
A question/clarification though....
In terms of witnessing: seems (imo) Paul is using present tense, not past tense…
Not that I think Paul he is saying he still a chief sinner! Of course not!
Am more on the opinion that Paul is using present tense , I think it is more on emphasis to the listener ?
1 Timothy 1:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Exactly.
The proof is in scripture. I get that.
James 1:14-15
Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. 15 These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
This discussion is about adultery and sin in general.
Evil desires are just that---evil. They are either generated by the wickedness of the heart itself or are planted by Satan. Either way, we don't have to contend with them our whole lives through. When it becomes a torment or a plague to you, then you need to take dominion over them in the name of Jesus. Put the evil to flight once and for all and get on with fulfilling the wonderful plan that God has in store for you. We are overcomers in Christ!
Do you get that?

They're trying, but not quite hitting the mark! I don't plan on going anywhere. Maybe knowing that, they will settle down somewhat and we can actually have a proper discussion!
Well you know how some don't like the praise of the Lord to be heard?
