Have You Sinned If You Looked Lustfully At The Opposite Sex?

Yes you have according to this saying of Jesus:

"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Matthew 5:28

But it's not a sin unto death because this saying of Jesus was intended to make you perfect as the Father is!

Matthew 5:48 (KJV)

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

That was how God made man (male an female) to be in the beginning and how man was before he fell into sin. So the purpose God sent Jesus to the Earth, was to restore things back to way they were in the beginning, when there was no lust in man's heart despite that they (male and female) were both naked.

Genesis 2:25 (KJV)

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

So shame only came after lust entered into their hearts via sin, but that was not how God made man to be in the beginning. Hence the purpose of that saying of Jesus was to restore man back to the way God made them in the beginning when there was no lust in their hearts.

Therefore that ought to be the aspiration of every man who is a follower of Jesus; to become perfect as God is and made man to be in the beginning when there was no lust in man's heart.

This Jesus was, being a perfect illustration of the ways of the Father on Earth, hence He desired for His followers to become likewise.

So do not settle for lust even though it just that of the heart, because God desires that you be perfect as He is without lust in your heart, so that you don't give the devil any room to exploit.

With God it's possible to achieve this.

God bless.

Nna, i look lustfully at dj cuppy everyday. It is no sin. God gave her those big brests to be looked at. grin

the question is how do you define Lust...at what point do you draw a line between lust and physical admiration
There's a very thin line BTW d two.
Just as its a given for u to salivate at d smell of a sweet-smelling food, so is lust in d process of 'just admiring' a physically attractive woman!

Just as salivation is an involuntary process which is activated whenever u smell/see nice food, so is lust when u 'admire' an attractive woman. You have absolutely no control over it except u refuse to look at her twice/refuse to ruminate over d beauty ur eyes had just beheld in ur heart.

In d process of scoping urself that u r 'just admiring' her beauty alone, u won't know when u begin to salivate underneath (in ur pants smiley )

Because there are sins unto death and those which are not.

And being a sin of the heart, which has not yet manifested in the physical, it shouldn't be a sin unto death.

If you really want to think critically, Jesus Christ was trying to tell you that, that law
was meaningless because it's impossible for Man to do without it.because sex is the nature of a man.that saying ;if you look at a woman and lust is a sin already showed that ,that particular law if you enforce will destroy all men because men make their decision of a woman from the eyes.

It is not so.

In fact if you are someone that is always looking for opportunity to sleep with a lady, you will not have such opportunities because ladies will make sure you don't sleep with them.
But if you are man enough to kill your excessive desire for sex, that is when you will start having opportunities to have sex.

Imagine a lady who is always looking for sex.
You as a man will be running away from her.
But you will go after ladies who are not always looking for sex.

So is it with women.They don't give in to men who are always looking for sex.They will be running from such men.
They only give themselves to men who do not like sex too much.

Women will love you more if you can say no to sex.
They will feel safe with you.
At times it is they who will come to you for sex because you are not someone who gives in easily to sex.
They will praise you when they are discussing among themselves.
They will say you are disciplined and focused, that you are not like other men whose only reason for being alive is to have sex with women.

So the issue of someone not being man enough because he refused to give in to a woman's sexual advance is false.

Such thinking was designed by promiscuous men to justify their excessive desire for sex.
Instead of them to try and reduce their urge for sex, they were busy designing some theorems to justify their carnal and sinful lust.

That means your own case is different.

Almost 90 percent of men are fuckers.
They are always fucking and always looking for a Bleep.

If ladies were to seek fuckers,then all men will be having ladies running after them to taste their pricks,because most men are fuckers.

But that is not true.

Most men that are very good in the act of fucking, who knows how to give pleasure to women and themselves, such men are even having difficulty in getting ladies.

Already I know a friend who can tell you everything you need to know about satisfying yourself and women during sex.

Most times,he is so sex starved to the extent of visiting prostitutes.

The thing is,in a world where something is common, such a thing will no longer have value.

The thing that has value is what is not common.

So in a world where most men love sex too much, women will not find such men desirable no matter how good they are in bed.

This is because such men are so common.

They rather love the few men that are not into so much sex.

That is why a woman who refused to sleep with a man a few seconds ago can see a boy of 13 years,call him into a house and asked him to do sexual things to her.

This always happens because the boy is still innocent and is not into sexual things.

When I was still a boy, I have had such instances.

But in your own case, maybe they come for you based on something else that is unique in your fucking which other men do not have.

No it's not. Jesus never said our thoughts defile us but thoughts which proceed from our hearts.

If you could think of killing your brother as Cain did, and you don't allow the thought to proceed from your heart, and try to carry it out, you've tried even though you're not perfect.

Those sayings are to make us perfect as God is not to send us to hell. There are rewards and benefits we lose if we don't obey them but going to heaven is not one of them.

John the brother of James said something of this nature but didn't specify. So although God is the One that decides these things, He made this knowledge available to those of His Own.

The bible says there is a sin unto death and there is a sin not unto death. When I google for more explanation, a site says that, a sin unto death is the one somebody engage in and did not repented from till death. The fact remains that the complete meaning isn't clear.

Inability to control one's appetite at the sight of food or women is a symptom of mental illness.

Refusing to get help for such lack of self-control is foolishness on the part of one who suffers from such a mental condition.

I think you contradict yourself by the bolded, because you can't use your assumptions to conclude that an assumption was wrong.

The explanation you got from Google didn't even help but further complicated matters, because it's doesn't make any real sense...

The saying of John agrees with my position that some sayings of Jesus as that one concerning lust were meant to make men perfect as God was and made man to be in the beginning. Not that such would lead man to hell.

For instance, if Adam and Even had just lusted after the forbidden fruit in their hearts but not eaten of it in the beginning, do you think they would have perished as God said they would if they had eaten of it?

Of course the lust in their hearts led them to eat it, but what if they had stopped at lusting after it in their hearts and not eaten of it, would they have sinned unto death?

It's obvious what the answer is, and i believe that's the standard God sent Jesus to bring back to mankind, hence that saying, but not that lust in one's heart would lead man to hell even if it doesn't proceed out of the heart as fornication, adultery etc.

God bless.
