Morals are overrated. It's usually someone holding someone else to some standard that they wouldn't hold himself to.

So you are perfectly comfortable with americas "slutciety" of today...

And it's people like you that can't fathom why most the world is losing respect for this country in areas of culture etc.

So in essence, you are saying we are a MORE moral country than we were in the days of old.

Seems to me that your assaults on modern morality fall to pieces in light of that admission.

I actually love this country...it's just this is one of the few areas I am embarrassed about in our culture

Cause and effect.

In our society, we get bored with one partner quickly and yet we are force-fed the idea that we must get married. Parents, nuns, priests - everyone jamming this "get married" crap down our throats starting at an early age.

No, I don't have a problem with free sexuality - in fact, I encourage it. I have a problem with the pressure that is put on young kids to get married way before they understand the responsibilities involved.

If there is a decline in the rest of the world's respect for america, it has little to nothing to do with our "slutty" sexual practices. They look at us as prudes.

And they laugh about it.

In general most of our morals are better than most of the worlds...

In focus on marriage, the opposite is true

To be honest I always wished my life was a lot more simple...

Sure I am successful in building construction, etc. but I continually look back and think about all the simple things in life I am missing out on...

I live in an area where there are Amish.

They're kooks, make no mistake. I've met some wealthy Amish if you can believe that. Millionaires - on making those quilts and furniture and selling them everywhere.

And no, they didn't ride a pimped-up buggy.

:lol::lol::lol:

Guess I don't know a lot about the Amish ways...just the thought of taking a very long break from the rat-race society is a dream of mine

I don't claim to be an expert on them, but in one area to the west of me, the entire county is primarily Amish.

I've visited hospitals in that area on business and they have special shelters set up for the children that have severe birth defects caused by inbreeding.

It's sad, and no - I don't get it. I don't understand what the benefit is of having no electricity, no phones, no car - and stupidity breeds stupidity and their children will continue to live isolated, backwards lives.

Once again it has nothing to do with personal experience. Your whole premise is that jailing adulterers is better for society. Yet you can not show how. You don't have a solid argument, just an opinion... as usual.

SO this passage:
a)only applies to married men looking at unmarried woman
b) unmarried men looking at unmarried woman
c) married men looking at other married woman
d) all of the above
e) just the ones to make your argument?

:lol: It says none of the above.

Jesus is telling the people that desire can be bad. This is NOT a passage about creating law forbidding adultery as adultery is already presumed wrong. Matthew 5:28 (King James Version) :: Forerunner Commentary :: Bible Tools

Thus, the question remains, HOW WAS ADULTERY DEFINED?

this is irrelevant.
Click to expand...

That's tolling.

***
I agree with the qualified interpritations of others.

For example:
Biblical View of Adultery
Hebrews 13:4 --- The writer of Hebrews declares, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge." The Expositor's Bible Commentary explains that the phrase "marriage bed" is simply "a euphemism for sexual intercourse" (vol. 12, p. 146). "The marriage union is divinely ordained, and its sacred precincts must not be polluted by the intrusion of a third party, of either sex" (Dr. F.F. Bruce, The Epistle to the Hebrews, p. 392).

I find these interpritations more credable then your mere say-so.

So if I find a source who says otherwise you'll believe my argument? Do we want to go down that route?

Or can we instead make the arguments ourselves rather than making appeals to authority?

Jerry, I just asked you "if I bring X to the table will you find it valid?".

I'm not going to waste my time with you if you can't even debate honestly by answering a such a simple question.

What I'd like to know, is what you and others like you are STILL doing in this reality. Obviously, you're the anomaly here. So why haven't you moved to a place more suited to your personal and religious convictions. What are you still doing in the liberal West? Wouldn't you be much happier elsewhere?

Actually I am going to just give up western life, put on a backpack, bring my credit card and walk around the Euroasian continent, society around me currently sickens me.. I couldn't find any good real estate and travel agencies for Mars, so its a second choice.

This is the true harsh reality of what american morals have become today...

I am honestly completely emberassed of how my countries morals have evolved to this level of deterioration...

Reminds me on how you can put a frog in a pot of cold water and as you slowly turn up the heat to cook him he won't jump out because he doesn't notice or comprehend the changes...

completely sickening!

Europe as well, same moral decay and rotten society over here. Selfish bunch of morons... How about some honesty, honor, moral, intelligence and modesty?

Credit card? If you want to do it the right way, you'll only carry gold nuggets and ****.

I know what you mean. I would have loved to live in the old west, with the gambling, and the lawless murdering, and the brothels with stinky fat hairy chicks.

Or maybe Industrial Revolution days... with those cozy tenements, and the cholera, and the lovely filth...

Or perhaps the old south with the slave-raping, and the duels, and the plantations.

Or even those roaring 20's with the gang violence, bathtub gin, and systemic racism!


I long for those morality-filled days of splendor! What has become of our society!!!!

So nice to see you always looking to the past for answers rather than the future and what our society SHOULD be like and eventually will become when we are all dead or more likely judged by today it will just rotten even more.
