To further make known the difference between adultery and fornication please note the different
meanings from the Greek wording.
Young’s Concordance; the Greek word for fornication is
Porneia
. Adultery in the Greek is
defined as
Moicheia
.
Recent Bible translations translate the word “Fornication” as
“Sexual Immorality.”
The Apostle Paul wrote of the need for a man (
or woman
) to flee
from any thought of enticement to commit fornication as did
Joseph who fled from the wife of Potiphor after she repeatedly
tried to seduce him; he said to her:
Genesis 39:6-12 “. . . There is no one greater in this house
than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you,
because you are his wife. How can I do this great
wickedness, and SIN against God? . . .”
Sex Openly Displayed Everywhere
THE MISSING DIMENSION IN SEX
, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, inside front flap cover
page:
“. . . Everywhere, from every direction, sex is hurled at the public—in movies, on television,
in newspapers and magazines, in advertising, TV commercials. . . .”
There is very little difference between the way these women are dressed today and the prostitutes
walking the streets. In all these areas these beautiful and very attractive women can be seen on
newscasts and many other places wearing so little clothing there is very little left for the
imagination, scant covering for their breasts, and dresses almost up to their thighs.
As Scripture makes known, and witnessed in society, there is no shame or embarrassment shown
by these women:
Jeremiah 8:12 “Were they ASHAMED when they had committed abomination? No! They
were not at all ASHAMED, nor did they know how to BLUSH. Therefore they shall fall
among those who fall; in the time of their PUNISHMENT they shall be cast down,” says
the LORD.
These women can be provocative, enticing, and alluring! By focusing on the bare areas of these
women can lead to real problems within the mind of a virile man as the early chapters of the
book of Proverbs makes known; leading to poverty and unhappiness, and worse, by those who
are ensnared by them (
Proverbs
2:10-32; 4:20-27; 5:1-14; 6:20-35; 7:1-27).
