Recently one of my wife's readers asked prayer for a close family member. Salle, in turn, as we often do with one another, asked me to pray about the situation. It seems, a man, in this case, a professing Believer, had met a woman on-line and was planning on leaving his good, Christian wife of many years for her. He had already met with her secretly on a couple of occasions.
The lady making the request also included in her correspondence some of the adulterer's reasoning for his sin. After hearing of the affair, I said to my wife "Why is it every Christian I ever met intending to go into sin, all of a sudden becomes a philosopher? I have never heard such philosophical jargon come out of anyone's mouth like that spued out of these people. In this case a philosophical philanderer.
Evidently this dunce is ignorant to the fact of the meaning of the word philosophy. The root meaning of the word is, "lover of wisdom." Now Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, apart from Jesus Christ wrote, "Whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away." If you have any doubts about the veracity of this, just take a little time to talk to David and Bathsheba!
