Confess at your own foolishness

A man cannot commit adultery against a woman, it is impossible.

A man can commit adultery against a fellow man by sleeping with his neighbour's wife.

In the Bible, adultery is punishable by stoning both the male and female, but it is not physical stoning with physical stones, it is by stoning of words.

Besides, the man who commits adultery with a woman is not wise because he is trading his life and glory away to the owner of the wife, the Bible says he will die sad, miserable and empty.

If a man sleeps with a single unmarried girl, it is not adultery. When he sleeps with another man's wife, he has committed a heinous offence that would take his life

They know, and it's not peculiar to Christianity. It's easier for a woman to pardon a hubby who cheated than for a man to pardon an unfaithful wife


The more reason they will keep sealed lips.

Yes, they should confess
Re: Should Christian Couples Confess To Their Spouse When They Fall Into Adultery? by Autopoly: 2:50pm On Aug 09
If you go and check the Greek word for sexual immorality according to the Greek Bible which is the true version. The word is Porneia, which means furnication.
However youd be wondering, married people cannot commit furnication, only unmarried which is a bit confusing and complicated.

But Jesus speaks by the Spirit of God understands that people of this generation will misinterpret as well as many Bible versions that are misleading.

Porneia which is furnication means that when you don’t meet her as a virgin or when it is a union based on incest , like a brother and a sister . These are Porneia.

Like in Yoruba culture where they take white handkerchief to test the virginity before the real wedding takes place .

But you met her as a virgin or not as a virgin and you agreed to proceed with the marriage and is sealed then , only death can separate you guys apart .

Make she or he dy carry man back to back , you guys are sealed for life . And you cannot chase him or her away , unless they voluntarily leave on their own
Else you commit adultry because you chased her and bring another woman

May God give us more knowledge and understanding. Amen 🙏🏿

Why should I tell her that? You've confess to God already... Use the brain he gave you.


Never confess your sins to a human unless you were caught in the act... Don't try it as a man, women lack the ability to forgive... They're master of pretense, you'll be reminded about such issues till eternity.
It's hard for men to forgive, but once they do you'll never ever hear such issue mentioned ever again.
The truth is : Men and women do not forgive cheating.
While men are clear about it, women pretend because of societal expectations. Deep inside, they harbor bitterness and resentment forever. Reason some of them low key can kill their husbands .

Confess to your husband and the marriage is over.
Confess to your wife and start eating slow poison over years that will quietly kill you.

I am not trying to be just pedantic or bring up unnecessary arguments but the bible did not say that though.

He said except for the sake of 'fornication' - and no that was not a mistake, it was the exact phrase. So apparently what Jesus was talking about had another meaning aside what is usually taught

“ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;”(Ephesians 5:3).

See why Ai is wrong? This is an emotional, sentimental and religious issue, so human responses are most appropriate and of course if any one goes out of line, he is open to correction. But no issue anyway

Is Adultery the only sin for a Chrisitan.
Do we confess if we lie to one another. An every minute issue.

It is not the only sin but as with lies, true reprentance comes only when you own up to your faults by admitting you are wrong and need forgiveness.

The matter is simple, a true christian will feel very bad if they commit adultuery and when they restitute, they would ensure it is a sin they will not commit again. A lot of 'Christians' are not christians and they sin every day with no true repentance or holiness in their hearts. It is of no use to confess their wrongdoings to their partner or God because they would still commit the same sins several times next week.

You didn't quote your otem..

What did otem say about this?

In my opinion, if you know you want to have extra marital sex, be ready never to tell anyone forever. If you know you will be emotional at a point to tell someone about it, then you shouldn't do it in the first place.

Adultery is the sweetest thing on earth. Especially with another man's wife or husband. It's sweeter than honey.
You are right. Just to add, after the sweetness and enjoyment comes unlimited destruction and eternal death. Unless the person repents, they are finished!

This is correct. Follow God's leading in all things. Not all spouses are born again Christians. If your spouse is not a born again, don't confess to the spouse. Once you repent in your heart and believe that you are forgiven, you have been forgiven. If you are moved to confess, confess to your pastor/priest or an elder in church. You must not tell your spouse.

so if the Holy Spirit says something not agreeing with what man wrote what the Holy Spirit said should be tossed away?

Abeg do you know HOW MANY TIMES the SPIRIT OF GOD SPOKE AGAINST WHAT WAS WRITTEN AND SAID BY MEN

* HATE YOUR ENEMIES
* THE SONS OR PARENTS WILL SUFFER FOR WHAT THEIR PARENTS OR CHILDREN HAVE DONE
* DIVORCE HER FOR WHATEVER REASON
* GIVE TO GOD BUT DONT GIVE TO YOUR PARENTS, OR CLAIM WHAT YOU HAVE IS ALREADY GIVEN TO GOD

I can continue... Wash your hands, pray out loud etc
