How wide is the defintion of 'sinful lust' ?
In a sexual sense, apart from actually wanting to sleep with another (excluding one's spouse), what else would be considered sinful lust.
Clearly the broader the definition, the easier it is to sin !. |

"Lust" is our enemy's counterfeit to genuine love. It's selfish desire.......wanting to "obtain" another person---not genuinely wanting what's best for them.......their needs and opinions (the one who is the "target" of lust) disappear.
I wouldn't consider that a wide definition.
