The topic is silly anyway.

Evidently, David never had sexual thoughts and feelings about his wife before they were married. I applaud him. But... I confess... she was everything I ever wanted. I couldn't get her off my mind. Everything about her was magic. She was interwoven in every thought and desire I had until that wedding day.

Of course... today I kinda just wish she'd not talk so much. But that's just the way things are. lol

Re: Trumpcare: Pre-existing Conditions Not Covered

I sometimes day dream about having a brand new Dodge Charger.... oh noooooo.... I've sinned. I'm coveting. Oh noooooo. LOL

Thoughts and intents people. Thoughts and intents. True spirituality is balanced and real. And in my almost 30 years of being a born again Apostolic, I've learned that it's typically the empty can that rattle the most.

Christ's point was, you intend on using a woman you're gazing upon.... you've sinned in your heart long before you even ask her name.

If you intend on using a woman you're gazing upon.... you've sinned before you even ask her name.
come over to my Trinity thread and type up a definition of how you think Trinitarians define the Trinity.

You know guys... if they ever do pass a universal healthcare bill... it will most likely have mental health provisions.

Intent? There's not a bit of difference between a guy watching a porn video to satisfy his lust and a guy closing his eyes to imagine the same thing to satisfy his lust.

This describes a man gazing upon a woman with the intention of using and exploiting her. This isn't the fantasy of a single person who has no intention of using and exploiting someone.
smh So your commentary of Matthew 5:28 is that Jesus was saying it's only sin to look and lust after a woman if you want to use and exploit her??

Oh, so Jesus was only talking about married men, right? Somewhere Jesus later mentioned that His words there aren't applicable to single men.

What version of the Bible are you reading?!

Sexual attraction is not the same as using your mind to enact a porn scene.

I guess I should be more like you and others who go even further and watch porn with their spouses and trade partners.

Man, this whole bringing my flesh into subjection is just a bummer! Paul was so uptight!

Read it again. They didn't fantasize sexually about each other chapter 4, which was after the marriage at the end of chapter 3.

Again, finding someone attractive and putting that person in your own private porn show are two different things. Sin always presents itself as something "normal and healthy." What is normal and healthy isn't always holy, and that's what blows your argument away.

What is sin is when a married man gazes upon a woman who isn't his wife and has sexual thoughts and desires that he intends to act upon.
One sentence doesn't match the other. Can't claim both.

I think someone's pastor was superstitious and afraid of sex, perhaps even his own male sexuality, and now they have hang-ups about a normal and healthy aspect of their manhood. lol
Not at all. Again, not everything "normal and healthy" is holy. You (or your pastor) cannot claim that fantasizing about sex with a woman in your mind is okay because it's not lust. Fantasizing is lust is sin. Sorrynotsorry.

I met and married my wife within a few months. I followed Paul's advice.

I'm not going to claim that I wasn't sexually attracted to her, obviously I was and still am or we wouldn't have 3 kids.

But the marriage bed is undefiled, and that requires me bringing my flesh and physical desires under control. I'm not a prude, but I'm not lascivious either.
