Jesus' Sermon On the Mount - Matthew 5 Verses 31-32

When we are engaging in secret liaisons of the mind we are just as guilty as we would be if we engaged in the physical act. Conjuring the theft of an item is as bad as stealing it. If we construct in our minds the 'theft' of a woman (who is not our wife) - by our impure thoughts - we have stolen her, and we have stolen something also from our wife (that part of us - our whole - that we have given her). She neither gave permission nor did our wife have any idea what was going on. Further, and principally, we have sinned against the Lord - those given in marriage are given to us - united to us - by the Lord. And these are just the obvious threads of sin, for what starts out in secret - a big huge lie - can only compound itself and snowball as it rolls down the hill to the part-destruction of many innocent lives in our circle of influence. It is never God's will to enter into relational catastrophe of our own choosing or making.
