I see the decietfulness of man (woman) and the desire to promote self instead of God. These prove what man will go thorugh to deceive and keep you blind to Gods ways
I think it says a lot because Adultery causes a great deal of pain for innocent people. The Adulterer have no understanding about the shame it brings on themselves and their family. It endangers lives and changes the senario of the relationship. Trust, true love. honor are momentarily lost; maybe gone forever.
SELF-GRATIFICATION is the secret sin that satan uses most often.PROMOTING myself instead of JESUS is playing right into UNRIGHTEOUSNESS,and satan doesnt mind a bit ....he wins that battle.JESUS is the VICTORY forever.
i believe that sinning against someone not only hurts that someone but many that "THAT SOMEONE"encounters in the future.HEALING from JESUS is necessary for that someone not to carry this hurt and exhibit and project it on to others.JESUS LOVES US VERY MUCH...
In regards to Lois's last comment, I came to this chapter as a result of a topic from "Our Daily Bread"...I agree that Proverbs is an astounding voice of Wisdom!
I think Proverbs is a book of Wisdom. People can learn so much in this book of Proverbs. I learn when I was a little girl to read it as a daily bread. What ever the day is go to Proverbs that day and read it. So if the day is 02/06 then read Proverbs 6.
To men: Keep away from adultery!
To women: Keep thyselves to be used as the other wife!
To children: Keep thyselves grounded and respect parents by following the teachings of the Bible!
To All: Never do anything stupid knowing the output is sin...cannot be undone though we repent!
Wisdom warns a concurrent theme about a"STRANGE WOMAN & STRANGER"! Note Lev.10:1 strange fire! & Jo.10:5 Jesus said &"a stranger will they not follow". Eph.2:12 & 19 without Christ ye are "STRANGERS". To handshake a deal is being in agreement with an unbeliever, & is prohibited in the Word; See 2Cor.6:14 What fellowship hath light with darkness? Prov.vs. 2 says we are snared with our words if we go there. & wisdom keeps us in vs. 24 from the "strange woman" both physical adultry & spiritual adultry as with Babylon the Mother of Harlets see Rev. chs.17 &18.
It reminds me that I the words I choose to others can encouraging or discouraging. God wants us to build up not destroy. As I was reading this in my devotions I thought it is to get caught up in our own problems that it is easy to forget this basic truth and to share it with others. It always gives me great pleasure in bringing a smile to someone who may be feeling down.
The new Jerusalem (city of peace): new heaven & a new earth ( new spirit or mind and a new soul or heart) Revelation 21:1.
The old Jerusalem : Canaan ( merechant,traffick)(bring into subjection, subdue,etc.)H3667,3665. Old Jerusalem represents religion with all it's rituals,ceremonies,and traditions of the law that bring us into bondage.
My son, keep thy father's commandment,and forsake not the law of thy mother. Proverbs 6:20
Father:(instructor): Amorite (sayer,act proudly,to boast,mt.dweller or pride)
Mother:a religious establishment or to give birth to; law giver.
Hittite (terror,break down by confusion and fear,etc.) H2850,2845,2865)
These are the religious leaders in organized religion, which keep the people in darkness and bondage.
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they unto him, We be not Born of Fornication; we have one Father, even God...Ye are of your father the devil( 1Peter 5:8,9- Proverbs 28:15), and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer(hater) from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:30-44.
Sad to say, but many find themselves in bondage,and don't even know it, because they follow after men and religious rituals,ceremonies and trditions. That's why their is so much strife among religious people.
When we are truly born of God; we walk in obedience to His Word through Love.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore Love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 13:10
