The Seventh Commandment

Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Just don't go sleeping around. This commandment is one of the simplest to understand, because it's so easy for us to see what great harm adultery can cause.... families can be torn apart, hearts can be shattered, and trust can be demolished. It's important that people keep love above lust, and that they can respect their vows of marriage, spouse, and God.

But the Bible also states that if a man looks at a woman lustfully, then he has already committed adultery in his mind. Likewise, if a woman causes a man to look at her lustfully, then she is also at fault.

Though this may seem harsh, it makes sense. Men, obviously, will feel things for women. This is how they were made. However, men should not constantly be obsessed with lusting after females. The easiest way to avoid lust would be to not seek out porn or other sexual images that would make a person feel lust.

But it is not only the fault of men for feeling lust- often it is the fault of women for wearing revealing (or lack of any) clothes. While it is perfectly understandable (and fine :) to look good, looking good doesn't mean that a woman has to wear ridiculously deep shirts or short shorts.

In today's society, lust and love are synonymous. But God wants us to love. And by telling us that we should not commit adultery, He is expressing the importance of love over lust.
