What a strange topic on a Bible forum.

It's like asking if stealing is wrong.
That's the typical binary view that most Christians take.
I'm wondering if cheating is symptomatic of a deeper problem.
The video in post #10 explores the common reasons for both men and women.
And how likely reconciliation would be for each gender. Very interesting.
I also wonder how couples could Tinder-proof their relationships.

Why would you care since you clearly admitted several times that you reject the Bible???

Reject?
Aren't you putting words in my mouth? (bearing false witness) ??? (accuser of the brethren)
I quoted YOUR words. I can do it again for everyone to witness if you like. (bearing false witness) (accuser of the brethren)

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

What kind of question is that taken into consideration the topic at hand, which is cheating your spouse ?

cheating on your spouse IS SIN.
Some believers PUMP THEIR CHEST saying they would never do that.
That they're much better than that yet they when asked about other sin in their life, they make excuses, minimize it, try & justify it, etc etc, glad no-one here is like that :gd

That's a blatant LIE!

Already did. And I will again if STV insists.

This is what you said : Why would you care since you clearly admitted several times that you reject the Bible???

Show me one link.

Sure thing.



That's stupid.



That's even worse !
Correct on all 3.
ALL saved believers sin in some way either in thought, desire, word, deed or fail to do what is right.
Luke 10:30-37 quickly bursts their precious delicate NEVER SIN ego nonsense.

Normally, I would agree with that statement. However, there are a small handful on this forum who claim to have experienced what seems to be an altered state of spiritual consciousness for an extended (though finite) period of time. They related this to "walking in the Spirit" per Galatians 5:16 and elsewhere (or "being in the Spirit"). In this state, it is impossible to have sins of commission or sins of omission.

With God, all things are possible. I am intrigued by the possibility, though if it's not something a believer has volitional control of, it is of limited practical use.

(And yes, I am aware that some believers may include lying and self-deception among their sins.)

Where did I clearly admit several times that I reject the Bible?
- Clearly
- Admit
- Several times
- Reject the Bible
Not even quoting you, you totally evade IMPORTANT Biblical questions. But I can quote you again if you like.

You can't quote me "clearly admitting several times that I reject the Bible."

So you want me to quote your vicious attacks on the Bible again?

From GOD or GOD simply allowing them to be tested by 'other sources' ?
