How does spiritual fornication affect your life?

Does it harm you?

Does it help you?

Does it interfere?


Who supports it and who doesnt support it?

No, I don't think there's such a thing as spiritual fornication. It's a physical thing.

Yes, there are even two versions of it: One is made of metal, and the other can fly.

Explain "spiritual" in your question. Otherwise, your question would be a wrong one.

Hey, I like this one.

What is spiritual fornication?

Screwing around with false religions?

Maybe it's something similar to the "mental adultery" from Matthew 5:28, but for unmarried men and women? Not sure.

Physical fornication certainly isn't good.

Maybe there is more detail to share with that post?

Ones spirit. A humans spirit.

That makes sense, considering God is the only One worthy of worship.

Im picturing the spirit of a human and/or demon, lusting to take what doesn't belong to it. A lust, by definition, is to want something that doesn't belong to the lusting.

All that believe in God understand that God is all. Therefore owns all, already. So we can conclude that God doesn't lust after, because He already owns it.

Uuuum... do you mean idolatry, as in worshiping false gods and/or idols?

Or do you mean engaging in intercourse with an incubus/succubus spirit or some other kind of spirit?

I dont know what "incubus/succubus" means.

Spiritual fornication is the act of fornicating with one another. Examples: flirting, seducing, tempting...etc.

Example: in your picture, the legs of that woman are seducing for a number of men.

incubus/succubus are just terms that indicate a demon or evil spirit (whichever terminology you prefer) who is known to have sex with humans. These words are usually associated with superstition and mythology, but they get the point across (usually).

Okay, well... the act of fornicating with one another (both parties being human) would be physically fornicating.

I think what you are asking is whether or not is is wrong to flirt, because doing so equals "spiritual" fornication that occurs when the physical act has not yet happened.

And to this I say no - it is not any type of fornication to flirt with someone, provided that person is unmarried and unattached.

Flirting is a way that can let another person know that you are interested in becoming more than just friends, which inevitably has to happen if you are going to marry without an arranged marriage.

Lust is its own thing, and we don't need to dress it up or re-define it as "spiritual fornication." Also keep in mind that feeling desire for another person is not the same thing as lust.

That sounds weird. Never heard of it.

Im not actually asking whether your thinking it is possible, Im saying that it is wrong.

Fornication of the spiritual type is the melding or uniting of wicked minds with wicked minds. You must understand, a pure mind with a pure mind is pure. A wicked mind with a wicked mind isn't pure.

Wicked flirting isn't pure.

The defining factor is pure love, or wicked lustful flirting.

Oh, it is of far greater consequence.
Spiritual fornication is giving ones own mind, heart to another when commited to one in the flesh. If the mind and heart aren't for it's partner in the flesh, it's fornicating. And God is very much against that.
