    That's a tough one. Every man between 18-40 years of

    age have broke that law. Hands up (men) if you never

    committed adultery in your thoughts. Last nite on

    TV, "Ancient sexual relations" Bible rules. They mention

    this character name Origen who decided to, er, separate himself

    from his sexual bits(self castration) and be free from temptation and let everyone

    know that it was impossible for any hank-panky to be going on.

    What ever the reason that was a little extreme.

    But here again in the minds of Medieval people, Ancient people

    believed that there was something mystical in our thoughts, our

    thoughts held mystical powers.

    Remember the verse states, just thinking about it you have committed

    adultery, not that this may lead too adultery. And what about

    the single friends, fornication.

    Babies are attracted to a woman's nipples by scent and looks. What could be more natural. Sometimes you just shake your head at the Bible.

    If so, my husband is condemned a thousand times over.

    I prefer my pastor's German proverb, "You can't keep the bird from flying over your head but you can keep it from building a nest in your hair."

    I often say the world is full of beautiful flowers and my husband loves them all. He does. Spring is coming, which means the parkas come off and we have halter tops and short-shorts again.

    I've asked hubby, if I have no problem with it, why should anyone else?

    jgnat yeah, but if you are married to a really beautiful lady, and the males are positioning for the best 2 hr show during the meetings, it gets to be anoying

    that is why in the JOB story, he decided not to focus, and even the 10 words have the "covet" clause, based on prior looking.

    I for one, do not believe in the 'free market' approach to procreation.

    ADCMS very good retort.

    jam you are right: wt basically says, no problem as long there is no further action. or abstain because of the danger later.

    Yes another practical joke by our loving father.

    At ages 16-40 I will you give you raging uncontrollable

    sexual desires, and to keep your desires in check the

    women are to be clothe from head to the feet.

    Ok God, did you not foresee that maybe some day the dress

    code may change. Not only do we see the head and feet but

    everything in between, now what.

    I overheard this conversation: lady to husband returning home, later than expected.:

    I dont care where and how get your appetite, but I expect you to come home to eat.

    one way to explain why ladies seem to be so tolerant, even approving of roving eye, flirting mates, it reassures them too that their 'catch' has wide appeal.

    jam, the reveal-alls are wrong, it is in the slow unwrapping that the art lies.

    prologos. "I don't care where and how you get your appetite, but I

    expect you to come home to eat". That is so funny.
