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.

. . . what about a woman who looks at the opposite sex lustfully?

Jesus hence also displayed His high level of spiritual prowess, because He knows that the heart is where all evil proceed from.

Matthew 15:18-19 (KJV)

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Hence if the sin was killed at the root level which is at the heart, it's impossible for it to come out or give the devil any opportunity to exploit.

Therefore if any man doesn't lust after a woman in his heart, adultery, formication, and other sexual sins cannot possibly proceed from his heart.

Hence sin is killed at the inception point and can't do any further damage.

God bless.

Oga dont involve the devil in your business....leave alone.

Everything in Nigeria..here is Devil Devil Devil...wetin devil even do una?

Yes

If looking at a woman lustfully is a sin then every man born of a woman go end up in "hell". Including all your favorite daddy GOs them... FACT.


Meanwhile why are blacks so obsessed with religion, heaven and hell? Even more than those that brought it to us.?

Yes you have sinned

Bunch of olodos. Make una no lie swear say you never look yansh today. If God want use this criteria nobody go go heaven

the question is how do you define Lust...at what point do you draw a line between lust and physical admiration

Yes

Stupiid questions as usual on a Sunday morning.

We are all sexual and social animals and the imagination of intimacy with the opposite sex from time to time is just the natural hormone that kicks for procreation purposes.

Yes naa.

All are sin before God.
The difference between you that thought lustfully and you that physically acted it is the risk of being caught, unwanted pregnancy and std.

Why do people think sex, lust is the worst sin there is. ?


I tell you the worst sin. Judging others while feeling too righteous.

Yes I lust after him wholeheartedly. His lips, his eyes common! If that makes me a sinner, then I'm a freaking sinner.

I don't think it's a Sin because I look at things I desire lustfully and work towards getting them. Even married pastors were once lusting after their wives before they married her that's why they could bang their wives like there's no tomorrow
