OkodiDenzel:


Is it the spouse that created the law of sin?

What about other sins of lust, immoral thoughts, Is adultery the worst of all sins?

Where is the scriptural backing and express command to this confession?

There are some things that are good, commendable but they are not necessarily the ways of God.

Confessing to your spouse wouldn't prevent you next time a bigger temptation come knocking but only the grace of God and obedience to already laidout plan of escape.

That it is shameful to confess would be mere penance and cannot obliterate the evil done.

In summary, confess if you feel and believe it would help you but never you think it's God's requirements for forgiveness.

The adulterous woman brought to Jesus was the closest to this situation. She was never asked to go and confess to anyone before Jesus'declared her forgiven!

1. Which opinion is "a lie" if I may ask?
If it's what I am thinking, it becomes a lie if your partner confronts you with it and you deny it.

2. And please, where is the correlation for crying out loud? If you don't understand a potion of the Bible, you seek knowledge and stop seeing yourself as a Bible scholar aren't.

The verse didn't say anything about adultery or confessing to your partner about it. Your partner can only be angry at you if he or she catches you in action, hears about it or you confess to him or her. The verses is even only telling the person to forgive others before going to God. Thrash out your misunderstandings with others before going to God.

3. The verse like many related ones is simply teaches peaceful co-existence with others; being at peace with them before bringing any spiritual or physical offerings to him.

I am sure someone like you won't forgive your partner if she confesses to adultery.

Dtruthspeaker:
For the children of God who have not yet fallen, Proverbs 3- 9 is your best friend.

All and every woman other than your wife is your death.

There is no short cut or escape or sharp guy about it.

No one has fallien into adultery and escaped it. No, not even the wisest man, David.

And you see, he almost did not make it. And you see how VERY HARD AND THE SUFFERING HE WENT THROUGH TO MAKE IT

If not that he was in deed the wisest man, you see he would not even made it

So that tells you how terrible that way is.

DON'T ENTER IT AT ALL.

SenatePresdo:
I would pray to God to forgive my sins, as I forgave those who trespassed against me.

That's all

Kobojunkie:
And eventually to hell as well, right?

omowolewa:
Yes, nothing should be kept secret.

But if it's a man, he should prepare his will.

For a woman, she should inform her Haulage Company first.

Kobojunkie:
Again, the two laws which you claim were given you by Jesus Christ instead belong to the Old Covenant Law of Moses, so the one mixing old and new is you, not me..

uncleck:

So at your age you still believe those stories?

Kobojunkie:
So you don't, then why comment at all since the OP asked this of Christians?

humberjade:
Trust is like an egg in a relationship, once it is dropped, if it doesn't shatter, it is left with cracks.

It is better you confess to your God, ask Him for forgiveness and make sure you remain loyal to your partner afterwards. Tell him or her, and your relationship might never remain the same again. Any innocent lateness or action relating to adultery would be viewed as such by the said partner.

My opinion though.

Dtruthspeaker:


Read your Bible again, David had told him to choose Wisdom, Solomon himself tells us this in Proverbs.

crows2ravens:

You seem to be missing something out, and that is, the old and the new covenant are not the same, and can never be juxtaposed into each other. 2 Timothy 2:15 talks about carefully dividing the word of truth.
Hebrews 12:18 says we have not come to Mount Sinai (compare with Exodus 19:11). Further in Hebrews 12:22 it said we have come to Mount Zion. Two separate orders.
You cannot fully appreciate the death and resurrection of Jesus if you are still holding on to some parts of the old covenant.

Are you a Christian?

Kobojunkie:

uncleck:

You find it hard to answer because deep down, you know you're just a nominal Christian whose life is at parallel with that of Christ. Professed christians are filled with bitterness and envy. They only answer christians when it favours their personal interest. Debunk this accusation

Kobojunkie:
Huh?

APOSTLECHUMA:
1. ADULTERY IS NOT A DIRECT SIN AGAINST GOD BUT A SIN AGAINST ONE'S PARTNER BEFORE IT IS A SIN AGAINST GOD. ONCE COMMITTED, THE MARITAL VOW IS BROKEN. ...

uncleck:

Come out plain let's talk about Christianity if you're confident that you're a Christian and stop this your monosyllabic response

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ no command restitution at all since that is instead of the Old Covenant folks- Ezekiel 33 vs 9 - 20.. What He instead makes clear in His New Covenant Law aka the Gospel is that you are to ask forgiveness from those whom you have hurt even before you approach God - Matthew 5 vs 23 - 24 - else you sin against God.

APOSTLECHUMA:
ADULTERY IS NOT A DIRECT SIN AGAINST GOD BUT A SIN AGAINST ONE'S PARTNER BEFORE IT IS A SIN AGAINST GOD. ONCE COMMITTED, THE MARITAL ....

Kobojunkie:
Talk about Jesus Christ with someone who thinks that taught by Jesus Christ is of myth?

Kobojunkie:
1. Opinions are lies because they are not absolutes.

2. So God first needs to say "adultery" and "confessing to a partner" before you can reason that what is written even in Matthew 5 vs 23 - 24 applies to pretty much all hurts you commit against others?

By the way, are you certain you in fact read Matthew 5 vs 23 - 24 since you claim, contrary to what is stated in the text, that it instead insists you forgive others?,

3. Simply teaches ? LOL.... so when Jesus Christ decreed that those who love Him are those who obey His commandments - John 14 vs 20 - 25 ,going as far as to insinuate that those who do not do as He asks are His enemies, this by what He said in John 15 vs 14 , Jesus Christ was simply teaching peaceful co-existence with others, as you claim?

xpertoyin:
If the Bible is not explicit about a matter don't make a doctrine out of it.
[b]Let the Spirit guide you as an individual. [/b]But remember it is only in the eyes of God that there is no big sin or small sin, in the eyes of men (especially women) there are many unpardonable sins.

addexx:


I for give you one bottle but na church we dey.

Most people end up worsening the situation by confessing to spouse.

Especially the ones that can't handle it as you thought they would. Adultery is to be confessed to God mainly and not any mortal because he's the initiator of the institution and he's the only one that can grant forgiveness and true repentance. Your spouse will just harbor resentment towards you and may never see you the same way again.

Mystery9:

Blind argument.

Mystery9:
It is a must to confess an act of adultery to ones partner. Failure to do so can never secure forgiveness from God. Husband and wife are one. Secret keeping is not for them.
