How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? Both adultery and lus+ are sins that begins in the heart. The difference is that in lus+ the act is not physically carried out whereas in adultery there is an action. The tenth commandment is broken because it is coveting.

servant for Christ Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 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 think the point is that **** is an intense longing to succeed into the adultery act. It is a wrong thought and desire that is accompanied with the approval of our will. If the occassion arose, it would be fulfilled. There is no difference in the eyes of God. The same as adultery when it is committed, you have done it in your heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? Your heart is the point between them. There is no difference. **** may come first with adultery following, but they both start in your heart. We are not to covet anything that belongs to someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? **** and adutery are more than just similar. Jesus tells us that they are really the same thing, stemming from an uncontrolled sinful nature and a not-fully repentant heart. They both involve sexual desire for someone to whom you are not married. Just as with all the other sins and behaviors we have looked at so far, Jesus emphasizes that the spirit of the law is the important thing, not strict adherance to merely the letter of the law. In either case, if you are married you are breaking your marriage vow. You made a covenant with God and your mate which contained the words "forsaking all others", or something very similar. The marriage bond is closer than other relationships we have in life and our sexual relationship is at the very heart of it. It should be a beautiful expression of our love for our spouse, and not corrupted by improper feelings for or about others. if we allow this we not only objectify the other person, we cheapen our marriage relationship and objectify our spouse as well. In the narrowest sense, there is a difference only in the fact that in adultery one or both of the participants are married to someone else. **** breaks the tenth commandment because you are covetous of something that belongs to another person, regardless of whether the other person is married. If they are married, you covet someone else's spouse. If they are not married, you still are desiring to posess something that belongs to them which they are not freely giving to you, namely their sexuality and an intimate knowledge of their very being.

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? adultery and **** are similar because **** is when you see someone in a sexual way and adultery is basically the same. if you are seeing someone (other than your spouse) in a sexual manner then you are committing adultery by ******* after that person. the difference is adultery is like cheating but when you **** but are single, you are not cheating on anyone. **** breaks the 10th commandment because you shall not covet and ******* after someone is coveting what someone else has.

smithj7 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Q1. (Matthew 5:27-30; Exodus 20:17) What is the point of similarity between adultery and 1ust? What is the difference? How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? Adultery is the act of a husband or wife cheating with another person that isn't their husband or wife. Legalism often look at this as a literal act. However, even in Exodus 20:17 the scope was more than the a literal act, but coveting or desiring another wife or husband. Jesus wanted to make it clear that 1ust or what is in the heart is what is important. With 1ust Jesus uses a term that also extends marriage. Any sexual act that isn't lawful, which includes prostitution, unchastity, and fornication as well as adultery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lory Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 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? 1. What is the point of similarity between adultery and lus+? They both take our eyes and hearts off of God. 2.What is the difference? Adultery is something you do and lus+ is something you think about doing. The things we think about, will eventually be what we do. It's better to get into the habit of holding all of our thoughts captive to Christ. When you are in Christ, your number one desire is to serve and please God. Better to keep our minds and eyes focused on the things of God. 3. How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? When you start to lus+ for the things of the world or a cool car or.... You start to desire it, and the more desire you have, the more you will do anything to get it, such as even to lie, cheat, steal, murder. God's heart doesn't live in lus+, if one is lus+ing for something other than God, it's better to cast such thoughts out of your mind immediately before they have time to take root.

Prayer1995 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Adulteryis when unmarry people make love. **** is when someone looks at someone with adultery in their hearts.

saskheather Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Adultery is the act but **** is the desire. The desire can easily lead to the act. We must fight the wrong before it gets out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? Adultery and **** are both similar as they are the same act, the only difference in my mind would be that Adultery is PHYSICAL and **** is primarily MENTAL. **** breaks the 10th Commandment as it is the desiring of something that isn't yours, which is what the 10th Commandment prohibits.

royk Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Q1. (Matthew 5:27-30; Exodus 20:17) What is the point of similarity between adultery and ****? What is the difference? How does **** break the Tenth Commandment? One thing leads to another, looking too long at a woman is clearly because of an attraction or reminder of pleasure. God made man and woman with a grand design to share intimate and profound pleasure, one man one woman one flesh. This is clear, and fully against the ways of the world. Look at how many women dress and expose part of their flesh, and TV commercials are persuading us that this is what we should do, to attract the man.. be sexy. What does it matter after exchanging pleasure if one has never had the time to explore the partner's personality, their likes and dislikes. The world is against the sacred marriage of the bible. Having a look too long per Jesus advice is only going to lead to troubled relationship with the wife at home, who is busy raising the kids and doesn't focus on looking like something out of a top model magazine.

Paul H Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Q1. (Matthew 5:27-30; Exodus 20:17) What is the point of similarity between adultery and lus+? The similarity is that they are both breaches of God's commandments and both flow from the same problem which is a lack of love. What is the difference? **** is desiring to have sex with someone, adultery is taking the next step and actually doing it. How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? The tenth commandment clearly states that we should not desire in a negative lustful way our neighbours wife (or I would suggest husband) or their maidservant or manservant. ******* after someone is in clear breach of this commandment as well as in breach of Jesus' commandment to love your neighbour as yourself.

home4ed Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 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? is The point of the similarities between adultery and **** is that these actions are rooted in the perversion of our sexual desire; eating from the wrong tree. The difference between the two is is of course that one is still in the mind where the action begins and the other is already actively happenning or happened. Much like anger is where murder begins **** is where adultery begins. **** is coveting another sexually- "def.- intense sexual desire or appetite." . Even in marriage, if the timing is off this can be self centered but of course it is easy to see that God desires to protect us from the damage of sexual sin by commanding us to control our thoughts regarding coveting in the 10th commandment. It is a call to catch ourselves to capture our thoughts and desires and line them up to His. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does lus+ break the Tenth Commandment? **** is the commission of adultry (sex outside of marriage) within ones' heart so is viewed by God as the same as adultry. The difference is not by much except the act of adultry is the natural culmination of ****. The one is physical while the other is of the heart - spiritual. Covetousness of anything is a form of **** up to and including the spouse of another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnj Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Others have said it. **** is the mental act, adultery the physical one. Should you ****, what prevents the adultery? Fear of getting caught? Fear of illness? Fear of God? Living with the mental act and not the physical one seems only a degree of a sin. Rising above either is the pureness of thought and deed our Lord intends for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgandy Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Jesus says anyone who looks at a woman or man lustfully has already committed adultery in the mind. I do not believe there is a difference between **** and adultery. **** is adultery of the mind. The commandment says "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife..." ******* breaks the Tenth Commandment.

DebLam3teach Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 The point of similarity between adultery and **** is that both sins begin in the heart. Adultery is voluntary sexual relations between a married person and someone other than the spouse. However, **** is mental adultery. Adultery is the act, but **** is the intent. Both are wrong. **** is not controlling selfish desires for someone else's spouse. Those wrong desires, if not checked, will eventually lead to wrong actions.

Eager Bver Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 What is the point of similarity between adultery and ****? What is the difference? How does **** break the Tenth Commandment? Â The point of similarity between adultery and **** is strongly desiring someone sexually. Â Â The difference is adultery is the physical act and **** is in the mind. Â **** breaks the 10th commandment because it is wanting something that belongs to someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoanG Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Adultry and lustfulness are very similar because it is a feeling of the heart. In both situations there is an atraction to someone or something. Â However, adultry is when a person acts on that wanting. They will dream about it, have fantasies of the action and finally do something with the person that they desire in their hearts. Â Lustfulness is more of a wanting to possess that which does not belong to them. A person will feel a very strong attraction that does not go away easily. However, the person generally does not act on any of these wantings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 The point of similarity between adultery and **** is that your mind is the thing that will commit them both. The difference is that adultery is the actual act and **** is only acting in your mind. **** breaks the Tenth Commandment by coveting the other man’s wife.
