No matter what “they” say…

…the cheating is NOT your fault, not even partially!

This is the truth. We are not responsible for someone else’s sins. Cheating and lying are certainly sins. But they are not our own. The lying cheater must make an account for them one day–see 2 Corinthians 5:10–not us, the faithful spouse.

Now, that does not mean we won’t encounter people who tell us otherwise, sadly.

“They” might be the cheater trying to get us to own the cheater’s sins.

Please do not accept and believe that lie.

“They” might be “enlightened” ones who knew both parties and are now pressuring the faithful partner “to own their part.“

Please do not drink from that turd-filled bowl of worldly wisdom.

“They” might be misinformed or possibly just abusive spiritual leaders who have no business speaking into these situations.

Please refuse their rancid gift of tainted “wisdom.”

No matter the circumstances the command God gave us regarding adultery stands.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

-Exodus 20:14, KJV

The one who breaks the commandment is the commandment breaker.

He or she is fully responsible for disobeying God and breaking the most basic of moral codes. The faithful spouse is NOT responsible for that disobedience. The disobedient one is–namely, the cheater.

To assign fault to a faithful spouse in this scenario is both unjust and downright cruel! It is a lie.

So, choose to renew your mind in the truth:
