- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. We address the fact that whether it is homosexual lusting or heterosexual lusting outside of marriage, it is considered a sin by God.
- 00:27
- He judges our heart, not just our actions. His standard is so high, He says we must be perfect, not only in our actions, but also in our thoughts.
- 00:38
- And therefore, He considers lusting adultery. This is what Jesus said on the
- 00:43
- Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5, verses 27 and 28. You have heard that it was said, you shall not commit adultery.
- 00:53
- But I say to you that everyone that looks at a woman with lustful intent has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
- 01:03
- Now this clearly states that God will judge any lustful thoughts as adultery.
- 01:10
- Therefore, if you are lusting for anyone outside of your spouse, it is adultery of the heart.
- 01:18
- And that is exactly how one would be judged. There is no way that anyone in a homosexual relationship, you want to call it a celibate partnership where they do not carry out the act, that is a claim you can make.
- 01:35
- However, there is still the sin of lusting after another person.
- 01:41
- And this is the thing that has to be addressed. There is no way this would be accepted if it was heterosexual couples.
