love.serve.know Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I think adultery starts with **** first. The adultery is fulfilling what the person first thought about and dreamed about ("as a man thinks in his heart ..."). **** breaks the Tenth commandment because it is actually committing the act in the heart before physically committing the act.

Lisa Rupert Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Q1. (Matthew 5:27-30; Exodus 20:17) What is the point of similarity between adultery and lus+? What is the difference? How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? The similarity between adultery and **** are that you can't have one without the other. We begin with ******* after the flesh(the desire of the flesh), then we end in the act of adultery (the acting out that desire toward the flesh). **** breaks the Tenth Commandment because it is a crime of the heart.

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? The point of similarity is that both are rooted in the heart.

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? The point of similarity between adultery and **** is that when you ****, you have automatically committed adultery.

June Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 It is the thought process of sexual acts. Adultery is doing the act and **** is thinking about it and fantasizing about it. **** is just as sinful because it comes from the heart. Women need to dress and act modestly so men are not attracted to their bodies thus encouraging lustful desires. Body language is just as bad as revealing oneself too much. **** is coveting another's body, which is spiritual adultery of the heart.

tom.nabors Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Adultery is the act, **** occurs in the heart and from that standpoint is the same thing. **** occurs before the act of adultery. **** breaks the 10th commandment when **** causes a desire of something not allowed.

mags Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Adultery is the sinful act and **** is the desire. It is **** that first begins, **** leads to adultery. **** is from the heart - a desire. **** breaks the Tenth Commandment by having a wrong attitude - our hearts need to be pure and right before our Lord and Saviour. Keep your eye on the prize - Jesus Christ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaus Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 They have the same starting point - the heart. The difference would be one is action, the other thought. It breaks the Tenth Commandment by desiring something that belong to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? Adultry is having sexual contact with another person outside the marriage. **** is in the heart, the mind when looking at desiring to have. According to Christ there is no difference. To **** is the same as adultry and thus breaks the 10th Commandment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? Adultery in the sinful act that takes place between a married man (or woman) and unmarried man (or woman). **** is a craving between what someone wants from someone that has it. They both are sinful in the eyes of God, and that it is wrong. **** begins in the heart of a person and burst to a ungoverned selfish desire. It breaks the 10th commandment.

UncleBlake Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Q1. (Matthew 5:27-30; Exodus 20:17) What is the point of similarity between adultery and lus+? What is the difference? How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? The point of similarity in adultry and **** is that they are one in the same. Jesus said in Matthew 5:27-30 that if a man looks at a woman with ****, he has comitted adultry with her. The thought is the same as the action. The only difference is that one can **** for an object as well as a person. However, the end result is the same. It disobeys God's commandment. Simply put, adultry is wrong. It's a covenant between God and man, and anything that breeches that Covenant is Sin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? the point of similarity is all about me.my desires, my way, right now. the difference is one acts outwardly and one acts inwardly.how we break the 10th is we don't care about love. we just need our quick fix, and we won't settle until we get it.

YBIC Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I believe the spirit of the law, as Jesus states is that **** is adultery in the heart. In God's eyes there is no difference between the two. The lustful desire is coveting, and coveting your neighbor violates the 10th commandment.

Majestic Dancer Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I think the two are the same or are used in that manner because they both take what does not belong to the taker. **** views images or thoughts in the mind and adultery carries out the acts of the thoughts. I think thoughts bring actions. The word says what a man thinketh so is he. You will act upon your thoughts Many replies say it starts in the heart I believe it starts in the mind and goes to the heart if it continues. The depetion goes in the heart because you feel like you can have the person or **** without anyone finding out. But God knows, and the enemy knows too he will continue to tempt you if its in your mind to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? Both result from coveting a woman other than my wife. There is no difference, the attitude in the heart is the same. **** breaks the the Tenth Commandant in that one covets his neighbor's wife. **** and adultery are coveting another's wife, girl friend, etc. in thought and deed.

linda bass Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 The point of similarity between adultery and lus+ is coveting a woman who is another man's wife or vice versa. The difference is that lus+ begins in the heart, while adultery is acting on those lustful thoughts. Lus+ breaks the 10th commandment because one is selfishly desiring what belongs to one's neighbor.

Proverbs 20 verse 9 , no one can say that he or she is free from sin . We need to carry the cross DAILY luke 9.23 . as paul says - I die daily !!!! **** breaks the tenth commandment because it desires something which is prohibited by God - Our own heart will condemn us and our conscience ****** us !!! If we sear our consceience with a hot iron - then only God can save us from going down and away from His presence !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? The point of similarity between adultery and ****? Where **** is dwelt upon and approved, and the want to desire is rolled under the tongue as a sweet morsel, it is the commission of sin as far as the heart can do it, there wants nothing but convenient opportunity for the sin itself. It starts with the eyes. (2) There is no difference. (3) It breaks the Tenth Commandment when we allow those thoughts to grow in our mind and heart and take action on those thoughts. It is hard for natural man to look without *******, but we can overcome by the word and the Spirit of the Lord. It is a sin against God. It is a trap of the devil that we must recognize and overcome.

MJJ Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Q1. (Matthew 5:27-30; Exodus 20:17) What is the point of similarity between adultery and lus+? What is the difference? How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? The point of similarity is that as per The Tenth Commandment both lus+ and adultery are caused by desire. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor" (Exodus 20:17). The point of difference is that while lus+ is the desire, adultery is the actual act of being involved with someone other than the spouse.

dand Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Q1. (Matthew 5:27-30; Exodus 20:17) What is the point of similarity between adultery and lus+? What is the difference? How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? The amazing thing about the Beatitudes is that they go beyond the letter of the Law and present what God intended for the Law to create, a moral compass of the heart. The sexsual sins are those of our bodies and hearts intwined that cripple our communion with God and cloud our senses to the Love of God. **** is that "want" for self to be fulfilled in an intense fashion. The adultry is carrying out the hearts desire into an action which engages Satan and two people. We cross over into a sinful action which causes yourself and others to break fellowship with God and worshipping the enemy. However the "beatitude thinking" tells us that the playing out of those lustful feelings even in our heart and mind is the same as breaking the command not to commit adultry. This is so because God desires the accountability of our heart. God knows that entertaining our selfish desires already brings the corruption of our souls and mind. God intended the expression of love for another to be wonderful, fulfilling and an extention of His own character. As we love another with great intimacy and passion, He reveals to us His own passion for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iam4-1god Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Q1. (Matthew 5:27-30; Exodus 20:17) What is the point of similarity between adultery and lus+? What is the difference? How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? I hear it all the time-look, but don't touch. The Word says that out of the heart are the issues of life. So, if we have in our heart **** for someone of the opposite sex, or even the same sex, this will eventually come out. The heart is deceitfully wicked. Who can know it? The eye is the window to the heart. What happens when we see something that appeals to us? We want it! So, it is important to guard our eyes. Watch what we look at. If it will cause us to sin, then we need to avoid it. I hope this makes sense. no pun intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewell Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The similarity is that lus+ is adultery of the heart. The difference is that one is physical, the other mental. Lus+ is the desire for, which is the coveting of, which breaks the 10th commandment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
