If the Bible “aboundwith examples to the contrary,” then show us where a moral wrong is not specifically stated in the Scriptures.
Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.
There Paul does not give us an exhaustive list, but leaves it open to include all those activities which are like the ones listed.
You have not shown anything even remotely approaching that which you claim. Once again, simply making the assertion that something has been proven without sufficiently doing so is not proof. In this particular post, you have simply reiterated a point upon which nobody disagrees. You have failed in proving your contention that simply eating lunch with someone of the opposite sex is “contrary” to the teachings of God. Undoubtedly, you will supply us with yet another unjustified claim that you have proven this.But I have already shown that the commandment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery" isn't just about sex. It is about anything that is contrary to, inconsistent with, useless or besetting in fulfilling the commandment, "Husbands, love your wives," and "Wives submit unto your own husbands." And that touches a wide array of behavior that has become acceptable in our promiscuous culture.
Great point there...Originally posted by Helen:
