Infidelity

So the Bible declares “thou shalt not commit adultery” Exodus 20:14. Adultery, to me means lacking the ability to be committed truthfully and honestly in an intimated relationship, easily distracted and tempted to give up on being one with whom you specifically promised to be faithful and true to. It’s like being naked and totally exposed to a multitude of people, when you’re reserved to be seen only by one person. As Christians we are told to love everyone and some people take it to the extreme with sex. Fornication synonym for adultery is sex and all about sex. Adultry cut the cord of marriage by stripping the moral values on which it is built. We are not to be lead so easliy by temptation, resist the devil.

Nothing in this life is forever because at one point in time things decay, get broken, fall apart, and as a living being there are illnesses, growing old, or getting accidently hurt, and death is inevitably. Being in love is no different it doesn’t last not the way it started off for many. We can never say we’ve fallen in love by accident, now can we? Because at the time it’s real or so we believe. When we, lust, get infatuated and have a crush on someone, all these emotions clouds your mind to the reality of what true love is all about. In this life if you do find true love, both partners have to be great warriors to stand and maintain that love no matter what. What is true love? True love or real love as it is called in today’s complexed world it depends on the person. But according to the Bible 1Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love I kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it s not proud. It is not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails

Genesis 2:24,(As interpreted) That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Come on now, this is not God speaking a prophetic word talking about leaving mother and father God is the father and mother to Adam and Eve after all they are first people. It look like someone just threw that in there to make a valuable foundation on which a marriage stands. The word marriage is no where written in the Bible, in the beginning with Adam and Eve in the garden when God created them. Mark10:7-9. Why did God allowed polygamy? 2 Samuel 12:8 say that God gave David wives. Genesis 2:24 God intented for one man and one woman to be married to each other for a life time. Matthew 19:8 Divorce is allowed because of the hardness of the heart of man.

Polygamy was abolished by God I believe because of David, David the man after God’s own heart who killed a man for his wife whom he’d got pregnant (2 Samuel 11). I believe back in those days people could marry, be with whosoever you wish or was given in marriage. Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Esau, Solomon and Elkanah just to name a few in the Bible that had more than one wife. But David whom God loves because he also loved and trusted God not only did he committed adultery against Uriah, he broke the bond between him and God by him breaking not one but a few of the Ten commandments when God had provided him with everything he could ever want. David became like another Adam. Even though he had such an intimate relationship with God, and God give him everything, like the eating of the apple his disobedience cost him to fall though he was so blessed that it affected everything he loves. Adam wasn’t hungry he need not to have eaten the apple. God warned him of the consequences and the Lord had provided his every needs and wants like He did David’s there was no need for his sin.

Not everyone has a specific calling on their lives by God to do mighty things through Him and when you’re like that, now He puts a hedge of protection around you because of David and Adam so that devil can no longer get to you without His permission like Job 1:6-10. We are now also taught to resist the devil and he will leave you alone (James 4:7)

Lesson to be learned about adultery, if you can’t be committed truthfully and honestly to the one you proclaim to love and cherish to whom you can see and touch, how then can you be committed to God?” God wants us to stand strong in the little things in which He blesses us with so we stand mighty in the big things He has prepared for us (Luke 16:10) “Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much.” God was for Adam, his help mete, but in the spirit. Adam wanted someone more like himself cause God wasn’t enough, so God granted him his desire and look what happened. But God is still good and faithful, cause after all we are still here, the great fold with Noah, He didn’t give up on humanity and today some still can’t get it. When we proclaim we are Christian, we have to be like Jesus. To be seen and our actions has to be that of Christ himself. “God calls us to a higher standard of living!”
