I've seen a lot of these YouTube video shorts of spouses (and significant others) find their partner's Tinder account.


It seems these people are looking for something outside of their relationship that they aren't getting at home.
Most of them are women in the videos. Many with children at home.

It's easy to see this as a black and white issue. Sex outside of marriage is adultery.
And those hurt by this surely see it that way. But what is the real cause? Is it preventable?

Just to be clear, I'm not promoting this sort of behavior. Just wondering how to address it.

Obviously, getting caught cheating leads to a nasty divorce.

The real problem is that they have not become one.So they are looking for someone who can become one again.

So whatever the reason,In fact, it is all because human beings do not understand God's word and command.God's word and God's command, it is actually like a program in a software, in people.The human brain works physically.

The only way to prevent it is to let mankind know God's Word better, and nothing else.There is no other possibility.

Clearly, they are acting. -maybe watch them again..
There is heaps of fakery these days. Many youtube videos are just acted out to create click baits. Many people fall for them. The OPs point becomes nullified given the fact

Sex outside of marriage is adultery.

Actually, its Fornication. (Sex outside of Marriage). or any sex that is not based on Marriage between the fornicators.

Pay attention to this KJV verse, regarding "adultery", for the clarification.

"""If while her #1 ) HUSBAND liveth, she be married to ANOTHER Man, #2).. then she shall be called an Adulteress""".

Notice carefully.....= How many husbands does she have, if Her # 1.) "HUSBAND Livith while she is MARRIED to # 2.) ANOTHER".

See that?
THAT is adultery, specifically.

And this same can ALSO commit fornication, by sleeping around with someone who is not their husband.

Isn't this forum "Unorthodox Doctrine"???

There will be BILLIONS of humans in Hell who don't believe in Hell! Oh that's right, STV doesn't believe in Hell. There may still be hope for you.
What's her concern, she clearly advertises that she has enough under chin money producing assets to lead a comfortable life,

Do you believe that "Real Christians" no longer sin ?

1 John 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 3:7
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that DOES righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil

1 John 3:6
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

1 Corinthians 15:34
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

1 John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.

Do you claim you no longer sin ?

Anyone who says he never sins is LYING to himself! Unconfessed sin may be unforgiven sin!

There are many who will point out the sins of others yet when asked about their own will either not answer, lie or try to justify that what they do is not really sin

What a strange topic on a Bible forum.

It's like asking if stealing is wrong.

OTOH, maybe this thread will lead to consensus, that would be something!

Do you believe you are a Christian & if so do you claim you no longer sin ?
