People avoiding this like an AIDS test. Wouldn't be any kind of understanding from any woman if a man was in that situation. She'd divorce your ass and you'd be in jail.
i agree a woman would have any understanding if the roles were reversed. but that doesnt change the facts. there never is an excuse for cheating..PERIOD. if you want to cheat that bad, LEAVE. then have all the sex you want outside of marriage. thats between you and God. leave your spouse out of it.
but with that said. if a dude would've done his wife dirty. from a biblical perspective, his christian wife could have still decided to forgive him for real and keep the kid and stay with him. assuming the husband was very humble in his apology and was making every effort to right the wrong. while also being as open as possible. again marriage is a reflection of God's love/treatment of the church. God is the husband the church is the wife. the church= you and I. sinners. if we sin everyday all day long. we cheat on God everyday all day long. yet if we come to him in humility and ask for forgiveness and attempt to change things for the better. he will forgive us. this is why even though technically he allows for divorce. he doesnt see why you HAVE to divorce.
most people can't understand this concept. because people get hurt and never forgive. but they also dont realize how forgiving God is. nor do they realize how sinning makes God feel. they dont realize that ssame sinning makes God feel like you felt when you got cheated on. but multiply that by every single sin you commit. think about that for a moment.
so again, if you think God should forgive you, and let you into to his house(heaven). why on earth would you not forgive someone else who is truly repentant?
whats good for the goose....
the real reason people are not willing to forgive people is because they are afraid to be hurt again. whether its by that person or anyone else in the future. what they dont understand is, the next person they are with can just as easily decide to cheat on them just like the last one. nothing you personally can do, will stop you from being cheated on. unless you are willing to cheat yourself out of LOVE. therefore you choose to not mess with anyone ever again.
