Adultery
Where do you stand on the topic of adultery?
Page 1

Hello, my name is Dr. Mark Fielding.   I want to discuss the topic of Adultery with you in this Article.  I want to begin with saying; "I do not speak a legalistic word to anyone on this subject.  I do not believe that anybody profits emotionally or spiritually by living in adultery, but I believe the HOLY SPIRIT is the One who convicts us of our sins, not myself or anyone else."

This is a very Hot Topic today around the world.  Personal circumstances can easily muddy the waters.  The challenge that lies before the people of GOD is whether or not GOD and HIS Word have changed due to the times we find ourselves in this Century.  Simply put, have GOD'S Commands changed over the years because society disagrees with many of them?  If man were to burn all the Bible's in the world, GOD'S Commands would not suffer for they are written on the heart of every man. 

You may read things in this Article that you do not agree with.  If your heart is open and teachable to what the LORD has to say to you, the HOLY SPIRIT will enlighten you in any area you need HIS light and understanding on the topic of Adultery.  You may find yourself having to ask the LORD to strengthen you to accept HIS will in the place of your own.

The entire verse in the Amplified Bible Version:  (AMP)

 

Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for GOD will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous.  (AMP)

The topic here is the covenant of marriage and the marriage bed.  GOD'S will is that people realize just how serious and important marriage is.  In much of the world today people have developed their own view on marriage.  In such a mindset, marriage is what you want it to be, without limits, without biblical standards, or for that matter, not necessary!  

A young godly woman just told me her co-workers do not understand her unwillingness to kiss and experiment sexually with men while dating.  After all, they ask her how could she foolishly marry a man if she does not know that they compliment one another in bed.  One woman told her; "Who you are in bed, defines who you are as a person!"
