I said it was a mistake. What more do you want me to say?!
-Cheater
What drives me nuts with some Christians is how a cheater admitting to “a mistake” is enough for them. They take the bait, then they turn on the faithful spouse to figure out what he or she did or didn’t do that “drove” the cheater to make such “a mistake.”
Public Service Announcement:
People, if you think a spouse committing adultery is simply one “mistake,” then you are actually dangerously clueless about what is involved in cheating.
Which counts as the one mistake?
-Each meeting you planned so that you could connect with your affair partner?
-What about changing Facebook passwords and locking one’s cell phone so that your faithful partner would be less likely to stumble upon your illicit relationship?
-How about all those phone conversations where you professed love and ran down your spouse with the affair partner?
-Which time counts that you had adulterous sex as the “one mistake?”
-The weeks, months, or even years of lies to your spouse. Which lie is that one mistake?
I could continue, but I think you all get the point. Adultery involves a whole host of “mistakes” that are more properly labelled sin.
Cheating with all its deception is deliberate as opposed to how “mistake” makes it sound.
Adultery is less a mistake and more of a lifestyle of sin that needs forsaking. Yes, it IS that bad!!!
