I've always viewed adultery as not only a betrayal of one's marriage vows, but also a betrayal of one's responsibilities towards their children. As a father, part of my job is to provide a stable home for my children. If I were to cheat, I would greatly jeopardize that stability. Don't get me wrong; I understand the urge. I've been in situations where I've been tempted. But if I had given in, I could have lost my wife and my children's respect. Sorry ladies, but there's not a woman alive hot enough to make me forget how much I love and want to provide for my kids and my wife.
My father and mother developed in a way that they just weren't compatible anymore. My father was very depressed and couldn't find happiness in life. It came to a point where my parents had arguments multiple times a week, just because they couldn't give one another what they needed in a relationship. I can tell you that life isn't a simple as you being able to maintain a marriage just because you got married. Don't get me wrong, I am adamant about monogamy and faithfulness in a marriage. However, the moment my parents decided to get separated after my father fell in love with another woman was one of the happy moments in my life as a child. It meant that they both could be open for new happiness. It meant that something that was once wrong and hurtful, now could be mended and they both could continue to grow. Right now, ten years later, my father found someone who is a perfect match, and he can finally have the happiness he has missed the biggest part of his life, and I couldn't be more happy about it. I am very grateful to God for this blessing. Even though I am strongly in favor of monogamy, there are also people to whom sex is just a hobby. They don't see it as a holy interaction between people, but rather a simple pastime. These people can have sex outside of their marriage without damaging the fundamental pillars of a family. Because even though they are intimate with multiple people, they are in the end faithful to only one person. So in the end it all comes down to what kind of persons you're dealing with and what your definition of adultery is. If you're in a monogamous marriage that is sustainable and both don't want the other to cheat, then yes, adultery is one of the worst things you can do. But there are other situations that are beyond this rule. As up to the day I'm writing, my mother and father are still very good friends and love each other a lot. And I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Piotr K. Uh. Statistically speaking, men are more likely to cheat. And women are more likely to be serious about a relationship. Also women who are feminists are mimicking the behavior of men, it's in another video called "Feminism 2.0" I think.
Queerasthedayislong Love What do you do if you love your wife. She’s holding sex as a weapon because she can what’s a man supposed to do. Honors vows yes it’s not fair God take the desire away from us man. Then what power with the women have . NONE!!!!
My future spouse and I have both been cheated on, so we have a mutual understanding of the pain it causes. We also made a pact to never lie to one another about anything - so for the last 8 years we've lived in harmony towards bliss
The only issue is one can never be sure 100 percent. Many people have made these vows (Christians and non Christians) and yet the results speak for itself
As a woman, the most attractive, sexiest and admirable man is the Family Man. I truly admire and respect men who love their families and are faithful to their wives, as opposed to the person who seeks personal satisfaction at the sake of the family.
Michael Simmons You cannot find a Godly wife by looking because they are concealed by God....just as Godly men are. The children of God are hidden in Him. If you are a believer in God, ask Him to find your wife. Tell him exactly what you’d like in a wife, inner and outer qualities. Then let Him look the world over for your mate. In the meantime, prepare yourself to be a pleasing son, righteous and blameless and worthy to be the husband of one His royal daughters. He will not give any of His daughters to a unworthy scoundrel. Then stop looking. Wait on the Lord to bring you together at the proper time. Get excited because she will exceed your wildest expectations. Trust your Father to provide all your needs. He knows you need a helpmate.
Not surprising. It often seems the most unattractive aspect of a man to a woman is his availability. I know women clinging to men that otherwise they wouldn't, because a single guy their age MUST be screwed up somehow.
Although I am an Atheist I agree with Mr. Pragers views on almost every topic. One does not have to be a believer to understand that christian values are very important to maintain western civilization.
Most of the ten commandments are best for all civilization. I know others don't believe in God that is why I said "most". I do believe in freedom of religion and so does anyone that follows the bible . It is your choice who you are you can't blame others.
They aren’t exactly christian values - they are basic moral values. Broadly speaking, many cultures have rules for decent behavior - don’t steal, don’t cheat others, follow societal rules, etc. Religious ideologies falsely assert that morality only comes via their particular faith based rules but that is obviously incorrect. They spend an enormous amount of time trying to demonize folks who don’t share their same religious/moral perspective. You can see it in how the American fundamentalists latched onto race, gender and homosexuality issues to fight societal change towards equality in America.
And then Jesus raised the bar on this one...“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." -Matthew 5:27-28
Ron Devon amen, porn, strip clubs and sex chats are so prevalent in today's society. If you don't watch porn or masterbate you're considered unhealthy. Evil is good and good, evil... :/
blackflag mcc no wonder people have unhealthy relationships, sex and true intimacy are completely separated. Lust of the flesh, particularly sex is what destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah. Also, consider the deluge. In Genesis 6, the fallen angels who were no longer just spirit, for they had left their first estate, mated with the daughters of mankind. Sex is so sacred to the Lord and we (mankind) throw it away like a cheap commodity! God bless you brother, keep close watch, we're almost home! :)
+Anthony Lopez hearing all these events fr different people that they couldn't even handle their marage because of cheating, no love, greed and most just being sluts even my brother recently got divorced because his wife turned lesbian. and my sister is a prime example, she got divorced 3 times. so I'd rather just keep my money safe and not get married, I'm fine living single, plus it should help me focus on school better
+DO NOT SUBSCRIBE OR YOU WILL BE HACKED - I hear you.. but that's why it's important for God to be at the center of a marriage. A successful marriage takes work, it's not easy.. but with God, prayer and self-sacrifice.. marriage can be a beautiful thing. No need to be afraid. Selfishness is the number 1 killer of a marriage. Being single is cool but it gets lonely. No companionship (except for friends) and no kids. When you meet the right person, you'll probably feel differently.
Josh Neubert true.. this feminism is taking a different turn lol. But I'm not sorry, we've been oppressed for years and centuries. I don't support those, but I'm happy we've stepped up.
The only flaw in his video is portraying the man as the adulterer. Equal rights is the feminist movement. As a divorced man I feel offended. My ex wife committed adultery with her baby daddy(stupid me) and I tried to save the Family at my expense. She committed adultery a second time with a co-worker years later after months of her neglecting me while blaming me for the neglect while I was open arms waiting for her to come back to me. Please stop this anti-male trend. Adultery is bad we all agree but stop blaming men 100%. Thank you
+Secret Spice how very Christian of you, to kick a man when he is down. Even if you disagree with datank1976 you could be respectful of his position and explain why you disagree, but instead you choose to (1) add nothing of any value what so ever to the discussion, and (2) directly insult someone who revealed his own pain at his wife's adultery, apparently for the very fact that he is revealing that pain. Talk about blaming the victim! Here's a commandment that should have made the top ten, and applies to you: Be kind to others, for you cannot build yourself up by tearing others down.
Being faithful is not impossible. It takes commitment to yourself first. Before marriage, a person really needs to know and understand this message and should be part of all premarital counseling
@bravoman I saw your other comments where you degrade your wife so badly calling her ugly, and many derogatory terms ,so many times, not even respecting her as a woman, let alone as the mother of your child. I really feel bad for your wife and prayed for her. No woman, or no person deserves to be left in the condition that she's in. She is a precious daughter of God, and I pray that God blesses her with abundance of love. You've actually deceived her by marrying her.
People who commit adultery are extremely selfish, caring only about what THEY want and not giving a damn about the person with which they made a vow; not only a vow to the other person but a vow to God, and this my friend is the epitome of selfishness.
@Tony Rowan so true.... they live for today and not take responsibility and them cry when their lives are a mess.... oh, but wait, here comes the DemocRATic party to the rescue with the motto " its not your fault, its society's fault you are this way "... time and time again I see Hollywood with its attack on the family values in order to PROMOTE their alternative lifestyle to others...they HIDE behind victimization that the Alternative lifestyle has been terrorized by the religious groups.... that insane agenda aims at devaluing the traditional family structure...my thing is this, you want to follow an alternative lifestyle that is different from the traditional way...fine, that's your business BUT don't go on a war path to take down mine because you'll lose in the end..Hollywood and the media are the aggressors by having a closed mind in only accepting one view....theirs. it bothers them on a GRAND SCALE because deep down in their hearts they can't handle the truth and has touched a nerve...they know who they are and don't like what they see... they see that the traditional way which had lasted for millennials has for the most part has given people happiness. Yes, not everyone has a happy ending but throughout time, a structured family life has paved a way for success for the majority of people..I totally agree with your statement
That's true. Somehow it looks better on women to have the men be the adulterers. lol. We don't want to talk about the men who are emotionally hurt when their wives cheat on them.
Prager has talked quite a bit about the effect of adultery when both men and women commit adultery. On the Male-Female hour (of his radio talkshow) a few weeks ago, he actually devoted the hour to talking about if/when adultery should lead to divorce and a prominent example he took was of a couple where the woman committed adultery, not the man. I listened to pretty much all of the hour and he talked to callers, both men and women, whose spouses (or former spouses) had cheated on them in the past. I assure you, the video was not assuming or implying that only men are adulterers.
A love triangle can lead to violence, perhaps even death. If one parent kills the other, one parent is dead, one goes to prison, and children are left with no family. Unfortunately, I have seen this in my extended family.
I really really like how you went into the why adultery is bad. You gave it a practical reason. And then you went to explain the importance of the preservation of that practicality
As a married woman, I see adultery as hurting everyone including yourself because it is such a low, dishonest and dishonourable act. Not committing adultery is just common sense.
I am a Hindu from India and I also believe in Jesus Christ , when I first read some lines of the bible where Jesus gives sermon on the mount , I became very happy to read that where Jesus said " do not commit adultery " and the other one " whosoever looketh at women with lust has already committed adultery with her " . if american and European Christians follow these lines of Jesus , their life will become heaven , remember my brothers and sisters of america " blessed are those who are pure in heart " , attain divinity in this life , see soul in every creature and attain Christ consciousness
OK, but realize that Jesus was talking about looking at married women. If you understood what the original Greek says, that would be clear. Christ consciousness is not a Biblical construct, neither is divinity in this life, or the life to come. It was Satan who deceived Eve by telling her "You shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil."
No He did not. Go back and look at the original Greek; the language the New Testament was written in. I have already explained this in other comments here in this forum.
I hate to cut and paste, but here goes: And here is the original Greek: ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ βλέπων γυναῖκα πρὸς τὸ ἐπιθυμῆσαι αὐτὴν ἤδη ἐμοίχευσεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ. The word translated woman is γυναῖκα . This same word is translated "wife" in Matthew 1:20, 24 Matthew 5:31, 32 Matthew 14:3, 18:25, 19:3 and 9 Matthew 22:24 and 25 Mark 6:17, 18 Mark 10:2, 7, 11 Mark 12:18, 19, 20, and 23. This is the only instance in either of these two gospels where it is translated woman, and cannot be understood as woman in any of the other instances. Why did the translators choose to translate γυναῖκα as "woman" here? Throughout the OT, we see a recurring theme when it comes to the issue of adultery. It does not match our modern day understanding of adultery. Adultery, according to the Bible, can only occur between a man (married, single, or polygamous) and a married woman. The reason the translators translated γυναῖκα as "woman" is because they have a modern day understanding of adultery, rather than a Biblical understanding of adultery.
That is specific to coveting someone else’s spouse not sexual lust. Otherwise, billions of single men who find single women attractive are walking adulterers.
But it doesn't mean, that there is no any thought process involved, which stating that something is "just wrong" actually implies. Such dogmatism only leads to stupefying and making a habit of not thinking about things.
Men tend to be more visual, and base many foundations of attractiveness off of looks. It's the way we're wired. So to say that "It's NOT that hard to be faithful" is not only insensitive, but makes you seem ignorant.
It's not that hard to be faithful...for women. This isn't surprising when you look at the fact that 83% of ethnographically known societies on earth are polygynous.
America needs to go back to God and back to morals, it's not easy but the end result will be worth it, there's nothing like the feeling of knowing your at peace with God, it's heaven on Earth for eternity! The momentary good feelings of living in adultery is so cheap.

A huge problem with marriage these days is that men don't want to do it because there is no way in which men can trust that the justice system will not favour the ex in the court room in matters of dividing up property or access to any family created. It's all so tempting these days, for women in particular, to marry on the intent of acquiring resources such as money and property before marrying another for love. The Eighth Statement is breached all too often and you hear about it all the time on the media. Marriage these days is a legally backed form of theft with terrible consequences for the party that loses out. Therefore the family unit cannot ever be created nor maintained in such a climate in society and thus society too cannot be maintained if this is the norm. Children without both parents learn not to respect gentle authority and will henceforth detest the authorities above them. Marriage is now a con job pulled at the expense of jaw and order in society in this day and age. That is at least my tiny glimpse on the marriage, divorce, and societal impact in reference to The Ten Statements of God.
Love doesn't exist. 'Love' is merely your brain releasing various concoction of feel-good chemicals when your having a good time with the person(s) you 'love'. Nothing is real either. 'Real' is merely electrical signals interpreted by our brain. Everything we experience in our entire lives are just electrical signals in a squishy organ floating in gooey fluid in our skulls lol
proof that love is not that powerful; most crackheads would probably kill their own mother just to get another score of crack. So in this game of 'love'.... Crack wins lol
Joe Vazquez it seems you have a shallow interpretation of love. Addiction and lack of rationality causes a drug addict to commit such immoral deeds. Good and bad exist in all aspects of life. it's different to say you love someone with words. Actions speak louder than words. Love does exist in all realities, perhaps you haven't encountered love yet, but don't be dismayed it's present everywhere, it just depends on the perception of the persons view of the world and reality. Here's a an alternative view point, the hymn of love by St Paul in the Corinthians, google it it'll make sense. Peace
a man is supposed to provide resources and training to his offspring if he leaves for another women then his kids are left without their primary resource provider and the male offspring lack a role model for how they should act when they get older the wife also must stress hard to take the mans place. that's why we need marriage
***** wtf? It's not men job to do all, women should provide ressources and training to her offspring, she should be able to bring cash without a man. Also it doesn't mean that the man will not play a role model, it's all about 50 / 50. I don't believe in marriage, it does not help one rolationship and it can be used as a money maker. The man shouldn't be giving 50% of what he own or the if it's work like that, then the woman should also give the man 50% of what she own is she leave the marriage. This is just too one sided shit in life and it is use as abuse. Women that rely on men to get everything so they get married and she is in financial security, I have seen to much of that shit already.
Kuhaku of course I expect the women to educate her female off-spring and be a good role model for them. I also think women can work if they want but they should take less hours than the husband since he has the most potential to get resources since generally the man can work longer. I think it's crazy you don't believe in marriage do you think women should just make babies and have the man leave once the baby is born then you have a single mom taking on all the roles without any help or do you think the man should take the baby once it's old enough it's just silly the fact is you need a man and a women to raise a kid(s) right.
***** It seem you believe in it for only one reason, to keep the man. You DO NOT NEED a marriage to make a relationship work an entire life. It cost a lots of money for nothing, money that could have been used for children education, it do not make your relationship better if there was already trouble. And at the end if the man or the woman want to leave the relationship it is harder because they know they will have to pay back. Which end up with a lots of trouble in the house that affect the kids. Also no a woman shouldn't work less, they both should have the same work hour. It seem you think man are machine, but fuck you. If the woman is only going to work 6 hours, why the fuck should the man work 9 hours? This is not fair. Also it seem that you believe it need a marriage to educate a children with both sexuality. No, even separate they can do it by having having the kids 1 week 1/2 week. It seem that for you marriage is some sort of fucking economic shit that man are there to suffice woman need. Anyway.. I cleary see what kind of woman you are, or you have been raised as a stupid man. Cleary stupid. I hope you never get married.. poor man are going to get use by you. If man leave, this is mostly because of girl crazy behavior after marriage or after a long time relationship trying to make their man some kind of puppet, stopping them from having free time alone, refusing sex, 1 time per week isn't enough, 1 time per month is even worst. Then not trusting your man by watching other womens ass. Marriage is just a economic shit, it does nothing in a great or bad relationship if not making the woman safe to get all the money so they can live without a job, while the man is working is has off because he is forced to give a fix amount of cash. anyway, bye, I mute this shit. Your thinking about man and woman are horrible with your marriage. This is stupidly stupid.
Kuhaku for one thing im not a women so im not lazy if I plan on working harder for my family btw no one said house work is easy just because a women is at home doesn't mean she is not doing anything constructive. you still don't make any sense if people want to get married and have kids in the first place why would they want to live in different houses, never be with each other at the same time. of course marriage has economic benefits you get tax breaks buying one house is cheaper than buying two and if anything happens to you your spouse can help you out. I will agree with you your thinking is stupid and the fact you can't make any clear logical argument supports that.
This is why you need to find the right spouse for yourself and make sure that your love for that person is real and not for anybody else before you marry the person.
countless study's have dissproven the nuclear family theory and so dos the divorce rate. far from all divorces are caused by cheating and many civilizations have thrived without this unit. but I do like your interest in knowing my answer.
Arni Geir Interesting counterpoint to the video. I like seeing intelligence in the RUclips comments every now and then. This would be the perfect spawning point for a proper debate.
When a person cheats, this person is saying “I’m not a trustable person because I promised in front of witnesses that I will be faithful but I’m not... I’m breaking my own words... I can’t trust myself”
Adultery should be punished harshly in civil courts imo. Running people around you psychologically (including kids) bc you’re selfish should not be tolerated.
He also didn’t mention how often those who commit adultery end up feeling very guilty about it and regret having done it in the first place. Really, people - adultery doesn’t fix your problems! It only makes them worse.
KrÎştoph Pîäték it’s a turn off for future potential partners shows they can no longer bond will always have the baby daddy around and it’s a stupid thing for a future partner to get himself involved in with another persons kids
Although, at sometimes even before now, said institution has been corrupted. Such as in many things or even all things, for there is nothing new under the Sun.
Before this video I always thought adultery should lead to divorce. But the emphasis on the institution of marriage this video makes makes me root for the married couple to stay together and forgive each other - something I thought I’d never want for others and for myself. What’s more important than trust? Apparently, family is.
Bas Wenmakers unfortunately, it’s near impossibility to find a man who will not want to sleep with a woman before marriage. Most want to have their member get wet now or else lol.
Irisha What am I, chopped liver? I'm 21, a man, and a virgin. We're not as uncommon as you think. You're probably just looking in all the wrong places. If you want to find a good man who decided to wait until marriage, move to a southern state.
THis is the only commandment I struggle with, due to porn though I've pretty much stopped watching it, it's filthy and cant stand it anymore it's looking at another women even one that is married and not thinking something sexual about it that is the one that I am having an extremely hard time and everyday I pray too God to forgive me and to help me fight the temptation but I still struggle. I know I will never cheat on my wife I have never cheated physically in my life but I know I will win against this temptation. Please pray for me.
Let me say I have never given in to the temptation to actually try to have sex with another women I've never actually told a women I want to have sex with them and tried to get it to happen but i have told them I would if I was single, it's so close that it's just right on the edge. This was some time ago but I know I committed a sin even thinking about it. This is why I am looking forward to being too old to even want to touch myself I will be too old I will look at myself and go ew.
America fell when the people started caring more about their own personal needs and wants than the good of the whole. When people stopped thinking about what they can do for the country, for the people, for the culture as a whole the greatest society on earth began to decline
I dont think they support cheating but the fact that this is basically religious propaganda and that consenting couples cant have an open relationship.

I love this channel. They give us such good advise. I love Christians, and me as a muslim absolutely admire their work and vids they make. I want to study medicine. Iam in 11 grade, I got one year to go and so far my grades are good and the government will pay for us. Maybe I'll go to prager. If they accept muslims. I hope.
Ahmed Al-Mudhi I think these videos are fantastic. I am Muslim too.But Christians get lost when they stray into the 'jesus is god that died for your sins' arena. A lot of Christianity is based more on Paul then Jesus, peace be on him.These prager videos are refreshing and very well presented.
vicachcoup That's not true O.o Jesus and Paul both said: "I'm not here to destroy the law but to acomplished it" (sorry if i have the paraphrasing wrong, i'm spanish speaking)
Yosh Gar Jesus and Paul did not say the same thing. Jesus said this ======================= Matthew 5: 17-20 The Law 17 *Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill*. 18"For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19"Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 "For I say to you that *unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.* ======================= Paul spoke out against the Law.
Ahmed Al-Mudhi Look son, I think it's pretty amazing that you can access the internet and teach yourself some things. But be very careful with the info you find online, investigate the source as much as you can. Some men are just lost in their own minds. Don't take everything Prager says as truth, after all, he isn't the ultimate god that made us all, right?. Define your truths and beliefs by what you choose to believe and can truly prove to yourself. While a lot of the Christian morality and ethics can be valid for a functional society and a peaceful world, this video, and most done by this man Prager, are biblical knowledge mixed with his own opinions and biases. Therefore, take his videos as his personal opinion. "Prager University" is not even a university. It's just a website with these videos on it.
The unity of family is the most powerful gift bestowed upon humanity...unfortunately many people today do not possess the strength of wisdom to wield and harness such power.
the most important part is the end. i’m in favor of open relationships, but I’m also aware that it’s risky and I agree with the highness of the Ten Commandments. It’s a reference of right and wrong and it’s brilliant.
I'm a 22 year old man. Once I get married i bet I would never under any circumstances commit adultery because: 1. I'll respect the feelings of my wife. 2. I wanna stay as a good role model for my children. 3. I have high self respect and self worth and will never loose it by committing adultery.
When you got married you swore to God, your spouse, yourself, and at least 2 other witnesses that you would remain faithful. You also signed a legal, state issued contract stating that you would abide by the vows you just swore. Anything less is a breach of contract and a breach of trust.
Even if you don't love someone, adultery never is good. The other person always will feel the pain. No matter what you do or say, this will never be forgotten.
lying isn't good for your psyche. It is much better to live honestly. That is why I wouldn never cheat. idc about the decay of 'the family', an ideal which is on it's lasts legs.
I think the person cheating is often damaged subconsciously. The manifestation of the damage is inevitable in their sphere of influence even if they can't pinpoint it. Spiritual union ,damaged would ,I think, lead to spiritual fallout. Not to mention the general chaos that will ensue. But we are all flawed , get back to Christ and get well !
It also means human being is the only creature that can control its sexuality and all the hormones that urges them their brain is more powerful than the chemicals in body . But if they take sex over commitment ,trust ,love and dignity that means he is an animal . And he will have the tendency to jump from man to molester.
Disrespectful get over yourself. Criminalizing adultery can lead to the misuse of legal resources that could be better used for addressing more serious crimes. Criminalizing adultery infringes on the privacy of individuals, as it involves government intrusion into intimate and private aspects of life. Obviously you like the government in your bed
I always see adultery as crime because it can destroy the family. A lot of child become depressed and turn into drug and gangster after their parents divorce.
I am surprised he doesn't know that the Torah defines adultery as: 1. a man who sleeps with the wife of another man. 2. a married woman who sleeps with a man other than her husband. This definition is different from the modern definition where it applies to either sex.
+Aaron Reichert He is likely relating to the old rules (on top of the ten commandments) such as one I head about keeping slaves for seven years or something (I'll research this further soon).

In Islam you can't adultery with another person, even you spouse allow it, but in Islam, you allowed to have polygamy in your marriage if you can be more responsible as husband
It should be told it's God's law. God's law is eternal, just because someone didn't follow it or know about it yesterday doesn't mean the law won't exist today or tomorrow. I encourage you and everyone else to continue to see pleasing God and following his law,.. Praying for you guys!

1:26 "because like the other nine it is indispensable to forming and maintaining higher civilization" Oh really, how is "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" indispensable to civilization? or "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy", seriously, the top 4 are "worship me, or else!" should not god crush our civilization for not obeying those ones before adultery ruins us?
"Every civilization has religion in its makeup. Every single one came into existence with it." So? "In fact one can say that the concept of morality and justice are only instilled in a culture by belief systems." Now that is just an assumption. "You need religion to form civilization successfully." What happened before does not mean it needs to happen again. Might as well say we need barter, because every civilization began with barter, well no we have ADVANCED, we got money now. Also, what god? Allah, Yahweh, Vishnu, cthulhu? Will just any god do? Is this the game Black and White?
***** No you are confusing causality, need for order creates belief not the other way around. Imagine your a tribal leader and you lack the power to keep people in line, so you say "god will punish you forever and ever if you don't obey his (my) commands", That is historically observed and also somewhat effective, of course it is archaic today, now we have governments and police and judicial process. No justifiable morality eh? How about I want to live and you want to live so lets not kill each other? I see no reason to invoke a god to create morality, self-preservation works well enough. I find you amusing too, your smugness is most refreshing, I love backhand slander and the hypocrisy of claiming politeness while openly claiming to patronize, delicious. Like those teens playing FPS I'll start fapping to you if you insult well enough.
***** Right off the bat with a strawman there eh? I never said religion was the foundation of civilization, I was saying it was a means to an ends. I would say agriculture was the founding of civilization, the cause of civilization, the cause of organized religion even. Religion having been used to enforce morality does not make it a foundation of morality, we have better tools now to enforce morality. So what if there is no objective morality? Your not going to kill because you will be killed. The wrongness of murder is to maintain something greater then your self: society. Do you have children, do you want them to prosper? Your genes do, hence why we developed society and morals because it benefits our survival both individually and together, to do otherwise will increase your chance of being a dead end in the gene pool. Religion like genes has evolved in our minds, it has prospered and mutated into it present forms, and now threatens our civilization: theocratic fundamentalist demand jihad, spiritualist belief threaten all the knowledge we have amassed. I'm glad to see you clean up your tone, the threat of fapping works.
***** My argument is that it is not, religion was only a tool not a requirement, and there are now better tools. Again religion is not fundamental, is not required. You can try putting words in my mouth all you want. If your argument were true: christian would commit no crime, yet they do. In fact christian make up more of the prison population then atheist compared to the population in general. And that not counting all the other religions and horrible things commited in name of those gods, of course those religions are wrong to you, and the crusades were a good thing too? The more secular a society is correlated with less crime, less war, higher standard of living. How is "I want to live and live well" a lie? I work with you and work within agreed rules and then I am more likely to achieve my goal of living and living well, this is the fundamental tenet of society, it is not a lie, it s simple action and consequence. It like saying gravity pulls down is a lie. I you do relies your delusional? I'll guess your state of mind because you seem to think you know mine better then I do.
***** And I say it is not. Agriculture is critical to the foundation of civilization, religion is not, it can be swapped with any other order enforcement system, at any time. Tell me what religion founded Chinese civilization? Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are more philosophies then religions lacking belief in a omipotent deity, let alone one that dictates morality. I never said morality is not needed, I said relgion is not needed. Morality does not require a god or gods in order to work or be necessary. Consider language: there is no objective language of the universe (well maybe math). There are many different languages and language changes over time, making it unlikely that there is a "true" one. You and I speak a language, why not speak gibberish?, Why not just make up what ever sounds you want? There is no objective language so why not? Ohh that right because then no one would understand you. No one would understand each other, society would collapse. We MADE UP a language so that we could work together and survive. Now swap language for morality. There are many diffrent moralities and morality changes over time, we once were fine with slavery and burning people at the stake, religion was fine with this too, because religion is a pawn of morality not the other-way around. Relgion is made up to fit the moral needs of a specific time and place. As for why not kill if the opportunity present its self. A lot of people do! Regardless of all the religions. Our society has developed better and better ways of reducing said opportunity to kill and get away with it, and as a result our society is more stable. Claiming an invisible old man living in the sky will have you burn for all eternity was in fact an ineffective way or maintaining morality compared to the modern judicial system, police forces, surveillance system, guns, etc.
I don't cheat on my boyfriends and resent the ones that cheat on me so I am certainly concerned if someone could cheat on their spouse why should I trust their promise not to cheat on me?
So many people cheat on their spouse because it feels good and exciting to do something bad. That's why a lot of sin is done because a lot of sin is pleasurable and gives a rush. People will do ANYTHING to get the rush and excitement.
Thank you for this in depth wisdom on this subject. I am blessed to have someone who genuinely loves me and tells me this on a regular basis. I am grateful I didn’t marry the first men I dated. I was 32 when I found true love. Not perfect love for we have had to work on many issues together. Our true love and friendship has gotten us through the tough times. God is a partner in our marriage. His principles have given me hope and strength to resolve challenges that come to us all. I prayed for his help in finding the right person. He obviously didn’t answer me when I wanted him to but my age gave me time to grow as well as did my my husband. God blessed me with wise people in my life to help me find my way. Seek for this help. A wise Aunt told me when I was dating that hell was waking up every morning wondering if you are loved. I found heaven. God is no respecter of persons. He will help you too. Seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be given unto you.
TRUE definition of ADULTERY: Any sexual relationship outside marriage, even when both parties are single. It's not about deceiving your partner, but disobeying your Lord.
But what about multiple spouses? You did not address how i believe there was little to no restriction on how many wives a man could have. Is that just being ignored or am I wrong that if a man could support multiple wives and could find willing additional wives he could have them. Am I wrong?
why would you want multiple spouses? not morally or ethically speaking, but you know how woman are, jealousy is inevitable. Unless your intentions are in a sick manner I don't even want to fathom. the end I just tell people to respect other people beliefs and get over it. But as long as you don't force this kind of behavior on your kids, then that's all I can ask.
I wouldn't, I'm happy with my wife in our life. It just seemed an obvious omission to me plus, I know people who happily live that way, not many (2 families come to mind being honest), it is usually a very bad idea but it seemed like an obvious and willful admission. That was all.
so your point is, in short, that an obvious objection with serious and similarly obvious fundamental flaws was ignored? Why do you think it was ignored, then?
When God made Adam he saw he was lonely... so he created Eve to be his life long partner. Never in the Bible does it say its okay to have more than one spouse
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
I've always viewed adultery as not only a betrayal of one's marriage vows, but also a betrayal of one's responsibilities towards their children. As a father, part of my job is to provide a stable home for my children. If I were to cheat, I would greatly jeopardize that stability.
Don't get me wrong; I understand the urge. I've been in situations where I've been tempted. But if I had given in, I could have lost my wife and my children's respect. Sorry ladies, but there's not a woman alive hot enough to make me forget how much I love and want to provide for my kids and my wife.
Mad respect to you
WHY CAN'T MORE MEN BE LIKE YOU!?!? See!?!? Some people KNOW right from wrong! maybe I haven't lost hope in humanity yet!
My father and mother developed in a way that they just weren't compatible anymore. My father was very depressed and couldn't find happiness in life. It came to a point where my parents had arguments multiple times a week, just because they couldn't give one another what they needed in a relationship.
I can tell you that life isn't a simple as you being able to maintain a marriage just because you got married. Don't get me wrong, I am adamant about monogamy and faithfulness in a marriage. However, the moment my parents decided to get separated after my father fell in love with another woman was one of the happy moments in my life as a child. It meant that they both could be open for new happiness. It meant that something that was once wrong and hurtful, now could be mended and they both could continue to grow.
Right now, ten years later, my father found someone who is a perfect match, and he can finally have the happiness he has missed the biggest part of his life, and I couldn't be more happy about it. I am very grateful to God for this blessing.
Even though I am strongly in favor of monogamy, there are also people to whom sex is just a hobby. They don't see it as a holy interaction between people, but rather a simple pastime. These people can have sex outside of their marriage without damaging the fundamental pillars of a family. Because even though they are intimate with multiple people, they are in the end faithful to only one person.
So in the end it all comes down to what kind of persons you're dealing with and what your definition of adultery is. If you're in a monogamous marriage that is sustainable and both don't want the other to cheat, then yes, adultery is one of the worst things you can do. But there are other situations that are beyond this rule. As up to the day I'm writing, my mother and father are still very good friends and love each other a lot. And I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
WHY CAN'T WOMEN?
Piotr K. Uh. Statistically speaking, men are more likely to cheat. And women are more likely to be serious about a relationship. Also women who are feminists are mimicking the behavior of men, it's in another video called "Feminism 2.0" I think.
Adultery is not only morally wrong but also, socially, ethically and logically wrong too.....

I must say this: committing adultery is always psychologically and emotionally destructive!
My future spouse and I have both been cheated on, so we have a mutual understanding of the pain it causes. We also made a pact to never lie to one another about anything - so for the last 8 years we've lived in harmony towards bliss
I pray that it stays that way for you.
The only issue is one can never be sure 100 percent. Many people have made these vows (Christians and non Christians) and yet the results speak for itself

You cannot find a Godly wife by looking because they are concealed by God....just as Godly men are. The children of God are hidden in Him. If you are a believer in God, ask Him to find your wife. Tell him exactly what you’d like in a wife, inner and outer qualities. Then let Him look the world over for your mate. In the meantime, prepare yourself to be a pleasing son, righteous and blameless and worthy to be the husband of one His royal daughters. He will not give any of His daughters to a unworthy scoundrel. Then stop looking. Wait on the Lord to bring you together at the proper time. Get excited because she will exceed your wildest expectations. Trust your Father to provide all your needs. He knows you need a helpmate.
Betsy Leifeste Wonderfully stated, sister!
Not surprising. It often seems the most unattractive aspect of a man to a woman is his availability. I know women clinging to men that otherwise they wouldn't, because a single guy their age MUST be screwed up somehow.
His attractive because you can sue him for alimony. Yeah right
Although I am an Atheist I agree with Mr. Pragers views on almost every topic. One does not have to be a believer to understand that christian values are very important to maintain western civilization.
If Christian values are so common sensical, why did they become so verboten in such a short period of time?
Most of the ten commandments are best for all civilization. I know others don't believe in God that is why I said "most". I do believe in freedom of religion and so does anyone that follows the bible . It is your choice who you are you can't blame others.
They aren’t exactly christian values - they are basic moral values. Broadly speaking, many cultures have rules for decent behavior - don’t steal, don’t cheat others, follow societal rules, etc.
Religious ideologies falsely assert that morality only comes via their particular faith based rules but that is obviously incorrect. They spend an enormous amount of time trying to demonize folks who don’t share their same religious/moral perspective. You can see it in how the American fundamentalists latched onto race, gender and homosexuality issues to fight societal change towards equality in America.
Tell that to Jordan Peterson
You are not an athiest.
And then Jesus raised the bar on this one...“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." -Matthew 5:27-28
Ron Devon amen, porn, strip clubs and sex chats are so prevalent in today's society. If you don't watch porn or masterbate you're considered unhealthy. Evil is good and good, evil... :/
blackflag mcc no wonder people have unhealthy relationships, sex and true intimacy are completely separated. Lust of the flesh, particularly sex is what destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah. Also, consider the deluge. In Genesis 6, the fallen angels who were no longer just spirit, for they had left their first estate, mated with the daughters of mankind. Sex is so sacred to the Lord and we (mankind) throw it away like a cheap commodity! God bless you brother, keep close watch, we're almost home! :)

I'm actually afraid of getting married
Women's suffrage and sexual freedom was a terrible mistake done by the west.
Rayudu Eshwar I will agree with you on that
Why are you afraid?
+Anthony Lopez hearing all these events fr different people that they couldn't even handle their marage because of cheating, no love, greed and most just being sluts
even my brother recently got divorced because his wife turned lesbian. and my sister is a prime example, she got divorced 3 times.
so I'd rather just keep my money safe and not get married, I'm fine living single, plus it should help me focus on school better
+DO NOT SUBSCRIBE OR YOU WILL BE HACKED - I hear you.. but that's why it's important for God to be at the center of a marriage. A successful marriage takes work, it's not easy.. but with God, prayer and self-sacrifice.. marriage can be a beautiful thing. No need to be afraid. Selfishness is the number 1 killer of a marriage. Being single is cool but it gets lonely. No companionship (except for friends) and no kids. When you meet the right person, you'll probably feel differently.
It's not just men, or women. But both, for every cheating man, there is a woman. And for every cheating woman, there is a man.

She committed adultery a second time with a co-worker years later after months of her neglecting me while blaming me for the neglect while I was open arms waiting for her to come back to me. Please stop this anti-male trend. Adultery is bad we all agree but stop blaming men 100%. Thank you

Talk about blaming the victim! Here's a commandment that should have made the top ten, and applies to you: Be kind to others, for you cannot build yourself up by tearing others down.
@datank1976 they take the exemple of the women being pregnant because of adultery, so please think before you comment
Being faithful is not impossible. It takes commitment to yourself first. Before marriage, a person really needs to know and understand this message and should be part of all premarital counseling
@bravoman I saw your other comments where you degrade your wife so badly calling her ugly, and many derogatory terms ,so many times, not even respecting her as a woman, let alone as the mother of your child. I really feel bad for your wife and prayed for her. No woman, or no person deserves to be left in the condition that she's in. She is a precious daughter of God, and I pray that God blesses her with abundance of love. You've actually deceived her by marrying her.

Shhhhhh!!! Don't question it! Women don't commit adultery, silly. Pfff
Prager has talked quite a bit about the effect of adultery when both men and women commit adultery. On the Male-Female hour (of his radio talkshow) a few weeks ago, he actually devoted the hour to talking about if/when adultery should lead to divorce and a prominent example he took was of a couple where the woman committed adultery, not the man. I listened to pretty much all of the hour and he talked to callers, both men and women, whose spouses (or former spouses) had cheated on them in the past. I assure you, the video was not assuming or implying that only men are adulterers.
A love triangle can lead to violence, perhaps even death. If one parent kills the other, one parent is dead, one goes to prison, and children are left with no family. Unfortunately, I have seen this in my extended family.
I really really like how you went into the why adultery is bad. You gave it a practical reason. And then you went to explain the importance of the preservation of that practicality
As a married woman, I see adultery as hurting everyone including yourself because it is such a low, dishonest and dishonourable act. Not committing adultery is just common sense.
I am a Hindu from India and I also believe in Jesus Christ , when I first read some lines of the bible where Jesus gives sermon on the mount , I became very happy to read that where Jesus said " do not commit adultery " and the other one " whosoever looketh at women with lust has already committed adultery with her " . if american and European Christians follow these lines of Jesus , their life will become heaven , remember my brothers and sisters of america " blessed are those who are pure in heart " , attain divinity in this life , see soul in every creature and attain Christ consciousness
OK, but realize that Jesus was talking about looking at married women. If you understood what the original Greek says, that would be clear.
Christ consciousness is not a Biblical construct, neither is divinity in this life, or the life to come. It was Satan who deceived Eve by telling her "You shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil."
Jesus said this not particularly about married woman , he said this regarding all women
No He did not. Go back and look at the original Greek; the language the New Testament was written in. I have already explained this in other comments here in this forum.
I hate to cut and paste, but here goes:
And here is the original Greek: ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ βλέπων γυναῖκα πρὸς τὸ ἐπιθυμῆσαι αὐτὴν ἤδη ἐμοίχευσεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ. The word translated woman is γυναῖκα . This same word is translated "wife" in Matthew 1:20, 24 Matthew 5:31, 32 Matthew 14:3, 18:25, 19:3 and 9 Matthew 22:24 and 25 Mark 6:17, 18 Mark 10:2, 7, 11 Mark 12:18, 19, 20, and 23. This is the only instance in either of these two gospels where it is translated woman, and cannot be understood as woman in any of the other instances. Why did the translators choose to translate γυναῖκα as "woman" here?
Throughout the OT, we see a recurring theme when it comes to the issue of adultery. It does not match our modern day understanding of adultery. Adultery, according to the Bible, can only occur between a man (married, single, or polygamous) and a married woman.
The reason the translators translated γυναῖκα as "woman" is because they have a modern day understanding of adultery, rather than a Biblical understanding of adultery.
Thanks for explanation
“But I say, whoever looks on a woman with lust commits adultery in his heart”
Or a man
That is specific to coveting someone else’s spouse not sexual lust. Otherwise, billions of single men who find single women attractive are walking adulterers.

A huge problem with marriage these days is that men don't want to do it because there is no way in which men can trust that the justice system will not favour the ex in the court room in matters of dividing up property or access to any family created.
It's all so tempting these days, for women in particular, to marry on the intent of acquiring resources such as money and property before marrying another for love. The Eighth Statement is breached all too often and you hear about it all the time on the media. Marriage these days is a legally backed form of theft with terrible consequences for the party that loses out.
Therefore the family unit cannot ever be created nor maintained in such a climate in society and thus society too cannot be maintained if this is the norm. Children without both parents learn not to respect gentle authority and will henceforth detest the authorities above them. Marriage is now a con job pulled at the expense of jaw and order in society in this day and age.
That is at least my tiny glimpse on the marriage, divorce, and societal impact in reference to The Ten Statements of God.
I loved my boyfriend from the beginning... he never had much money, and we still dont. but it's okay. I wouldn't trade him for anyone else. I love him
Love doesn't exist. 'Love' is merely your brain releasing various concoction of feel-good chemicals when your having a good time with the person(s) you 'love'. Nothing is real either. 'Real' is merely electrical signals interpreted by our brain. Everything we experience in our entire lives are just electrical signals in a squishy organ floating in gooey fluid in our skulls lol
proof that love is not that powerful; most crackheads would probably kill their own mother just to get another score of crack. So in this game of 'love'.... Crack wins lol
Joe Vazquez it seems you have a shallow interpretation of love. Addiction and lack of rationality causes a drug addict to commit such immoral deeds. Good and bad exist in all aspects of life. it's different to say you love someone with words. Actions speak louder than words. Love does exist in all realities, perhaps you haven't encountered love yet, but don't be dismayed it's present everywhere, it just depends on the perception of the persons view of the world and reality.
Here's a an alternative view point, the hymn of love by St Paul in the Corinthians, google it it'll make sense.
Peace
The Poet and Wit Very true.
a man is supposed to provide resources and training to his offspring if he leaves for another women then his kids are left without their primary resource provider and the male offspring lack a role model for how they should act when they get older the wife also must stress hard to take the mans place. that's why we need marriage
***** wtf?
It's not men job to do all, women should provide ressources and training to her offspring, she should be able to bring cash without a man.
Also it doesn't mean that the man will not play a role model, it's all about 50 / 50.
I don't believe in marriage, it does not help one rolationship and it can be used as a money maker. The man shouldn't be giving 50% of what he own or the if it's work like that, then the woman should also give the man 50% of what she own is she leave the marriage.
This is just too one sided shit in life and it is use as abuse. Women that rely on men to get everything so they get married and she is in financial security, I have seen to much of that shit already.
Kuhaku of course I expect the women to educate her female off-spring and be a good role model for them. I also think women can work if they want but they should take less hours than the husband since he has the most potential to get resources since generally the man can work longer. I think it's crazy you don't believe in marriage do you think women should just make babies and have the man leave once the baby is born then you have a single mom taking on all the roles without any help or do you think the man should take the baby once it's old enough it's just silly the fact is you need a man and a women to raise a
kid(s) right.
***** It seem you believe in it for only one reason, to keep the man.
You DO NOT NEED a marriage to make a relationship work an entire life.
It cost a lots of money for nothing, money that could have been used for children education, it do not make your relationship better if there was already trouble.
And at the end if the man or the woman want to leave the relationship it is harder because they know they will have to pay back. Which end up with a lots of trouble in the house that affect the kids.
Also no a woman shouldn't work less, they both should have the same work hour.
It seem you think man are machine, but fuck you.
If the woman is only going to work 6 hours, why the fuck should the man work 9 hours?
This is not fair.
Also it seem that you believe it need a marriage to educate a children with both sexuality.
No, even separate they can do it by having having the kids 1 week 1/2 week.
It seem that for you marriage is some sort of fucking economic shit that man are there to suffice woman need.
Anyway.. I cleary see what kind of woman you are, or you have been raised as a stupid man.
Cleary stupid.
I hope you never get married.. poor man are going to get use by you.
If man leave, this is mostly because of girl crazy behavior after marriage or after a long time relationship trying to make their man some kind of puppet, stopping them from having free time alone, refusing sex, 1 time per week isn't enough, 1 time per month is even worst. Then not trusting your man by watching other womens ass.
Marriage is just a economic shit, it does nothing in a great or bad relationship if not making the woman safe to get all the money so they can live without a job, while the man is working is has off because he is forced to give a fix amount of cash.
anyway, bye, I mute this shit. Your thinking about man and woman are horrible with your marriage.
This is stupidly stupid.
Kuhaku for one thing im not a women so im not lazy if I plan on working harder for my family btw no one said house work is easy just because a women is at home doesn't mean she is not doing anything constructive. you still don't make any sense if people want to get married and have kids in the first place why would they want to live in different houses, never be with each other at the same time. of course marriage has economic benefits you get tax breaks buying one house is cheaper than buying two and if anything happens to you your spouse can help you out. I will agree with you your thinking is stupid and the fact you can't make any clear logical argument supports that.
Kuhaku oh, so in your country, after divorce the woman doesn´t lose any of her possessions? o,o
Always love the visual aids with these videos....quite a powerful message
Yes .
This is why you need to find the right spouse for yourself and make sure that your love for that person is real and not for anybody else before you marry the person.
Good luck
This... was a surprisingly interesting video.
interesting as in how absurd it was.
Arni Geir How so? I'm genuinely interested in what you mean by that.
countless study's have dissproven the nuclear family theory and so dos the divorce rate. far from all divorces are caused by cheating and many civilizations have thrived without this unit. but I do like your interest in knowing my answer.
Arni Geir Interesting counterpoint to the video. I like seeing intelligence in the RUclips comments every now and then. This would be the perfect spawning point for a proper debate.
thanks.
When a person cheats, this person is saying “I’m not a trustable person because I promised in front of witnesses that I will be faithful but I’m not... I’m breaking my own words... I can’t trust myself”
As I've gotten older I have learned how vital this commandment is
Adultery should be punished harshly in civil courts imo.
Running people around you psychologically (including kids) bc you’re selfish should not be tolerated.
Amen. I agree.
He also didn’t mention how often those who commit adultery end up feeling very guilty about it and regret having done it in the first place. Really, people - adultery doesn’t fix your problems! It only makes them worse.
Look at all the single mothers and beta males who disliked the video..
I wonder if people dislike without even watching.
Wouldn't beta males be more likely to like the video since alphas rarely get cheated on?
@KrÎştoph Pîäték EVERYTHING!
KrÎştoph Pîäték it’s a turn off for future potential partners shows they can no longer bond will always have the baby daddy around and it’s a stupid thing for a future partner to get himself involved in with another persons kids
@@donc2446 I get it but if you both agree to it and are okay with the risk of disease it should be fine
This is all common sense, its a shame society doesn't think so.
I personally can attest to adultery ruining a marriage. Cite: My parents.
Yeah. And somehow people think mothers are innocent. I just sort of laugh when I see mothers day commercials.
Yeah. And no wonder people of both genders want to get rid of marriage.
Although, at sometimes even before now, said institution has been corrupted. Such as in many things or even all things, for there is nothing new under the Sun.
Perverse.
Multiple marriages. Ten wives, child brides. Those things.
Before this video I always thought adultery should lead to divorce. But the emphasis on the institution of marriage this video makes makes me root for the married couple to stay together and forgive each other - something I thought I’d never want for others and for myself.
What’s more important than trust? Apparently, family is.
The 2300 people who downvoted this need to be permanently separated from society. They are morally corrupt.
Why do you want to force people out of society isn't that against freedom?

THis is the only commandment I struggle with, due to porn though I've pretty much stopped watching it, it's filthy and cant stand it anymore it's looking at another women even one that is married and not thinking something sexual about it that is the one that I am having an extremely hard time and everyday I pray too God to forgive me and to help me fight the temptation but I still struggle.
I know I will never cheat on my wife I have never cheated physically in my life but I know I will win against this temptation.
Please pray for me.
Let me say I have never given in to the temptation to actually try to have sex with another women I've never actually told a women I want to have sex with them and tried to get it to happen but i have told them I would if I was single, it's so close that it's just right on the edge. This was some time ago but I know I committed a sin even thinking about it.
This is why I am looking forward to being too old to even want to touch myself I will be too old I will look at myself and go ew.
I got you man, praying for ya Darth.
For once I pray for a sith. I hope that your lightsaber will be good enough for your wife lol.

James 4:4 New International Version (NIV)
4 You adulterous people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
I love this channel. They give us such good advise. I love Christians, and me as a muslim absolutely admire their work and vids they make. I want to study medicine. Iam in 11 grade, I got one year to go and so far my grades are good and the government will pay for us. Maybe I'll go to prager. If they accept muslims. I hope.
Ahmed Al-Mudhi I think these videos are fantastic. I am Muslim too.But Christians get lost when they stray into the 'jesus is god that died for your sins' arena. A lot of Christianity is based more on Paul then Jesus, peace be on him.These prager videos are refreshing and very well presented.
vicachcoup That's not true O.o Jesus and Paul both said: "I'm not here to destroy the law but to acomplished it" (sorry if i have the paraphrasing wrong, i'm spanish speaking)
Yosh Gar
Jesus and Paul did not say the same thing.
Jesus said this
=======================
Matthew 5: 17-20
The Law
17 *Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill*.
18"For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
19"Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 "For I say to you that *unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.*
=======================
Paul spoke out against the Law.
Ahmed Al-Mudhi yes they do accept Muslims. It doesn't matter what your religion is.
Ahmed Al-Mudhi Look son, I think it's pretty amazing that you can access the internet and teach yourself some things. But be very careful with the info you find online, investigate the source as much as you can. Some men are just lost in their own minds. Don't take everything Prager says as truth, after all, he isn't the ultimate god that made us all, right?. Define your truths and beliefs by what you choose to believe and can truly prove to yourself. While a lot of the Christian morality and ethics can be valid for a functional society and a peaceful world, this video, and most done by this man Prager, are biblical knowledge mixed with his own opinions and biases. Therefore, take his videos as his personal opinion. "Prager University" is not even a university. It's just a website with these videos on it.
This seems very logical to me- I would like to hear from the thumbs down people.
The unity of family is the most powerful gift bestowed upon humanity...unfortunately many people today do not possess the strength of wisdom to wield and harness such power.
It is not worth the risk or the grief
And all of what you said.
i really like the feedback that am seeing here mainly from atheists.The gospel truth is being heard loud and clear
Atheists teach about redemption through the cross? I haven't seen them presenting the gospel.
the most important part is the end. i’m in favor of open relationships, but I’m also aware that it’s risky and I agree with the highness of the Ten Commandments. It’s a reference of right and wrong and it’s brilliant.
I agree except the virtue signalling of the animation that men are the adulterers. When woman are just as guilty of it.
the idea the men are the cheating sex is a narrative spun by women for centuries. Helps hide reality.
While it is true that the latter animations in the video show the male as cheating, 0:26 shows a fair depiction.
I'm a 22 year old man. Once I get married i bet I would never under any circumstances commit adultery because:
1. I'll respect the feelings of my wife.
2. I wanna stay as a good role model for my children.
3. I have high self respect and self worth and will never loose it by committing adultery.
Ppl who disliked it are actually part of it......
Not necessarily. Some of us understand the true definition of adultery, and realize that Prager missed the mark.
Daniel DeLuca Sure, Jan
Hahaha funny how shows only the men cheating on here because if they showed the women, this video would have %90 dislikes.
When you got married you swore to God, your spouse, yourself, and at least 2 other witnesses that you would remain faithful. You also signed a legal, state issued contract stating that you would abide by the vows you just swore. Anything less is a breach of contract and a breach of trust.
Please repent and turn to Jesus Christ if you haven’t already.
Even if you don't love someone, adultery never is good.
The other person always will feel the pain.
No matter what you do or say, this will never be forgotten.
lying isn't good for your psyche. It is much better to live honestly. That is why I wouldn never cheat. idc about the decay of 'the family', an ideal which is on it's lasts legs.
Sometimes your religion and other factors such as a abusive husband or cults disallow leaving a marriage tho.
I think the person cheating is often damaged subconsciously.
The manifestation of the damage is inevitable in their sphere of influence even if they can't pinpoint it.
Spiritual union ,damaged would ,I think, lead to spiritual fallout.
Not to mention the general chaos that will ensue.
But we are all flawed , get back to Christ and get well !
I love this comment. Thank you

May God lead us all to the straight path and may he protect us from the evil and may he protect us from adultery. Amen.
Here's the real joke: there's NOT just 10 Torot (commandments); and, NONE have been done away with.
How is it that people have to be told this? It should be obvious.
Excellent, and 100% true, as usual. Thanks, Prager U!
Adultery is one of the most disrespecful things ever. Why the hell is it not a felonious crime?
Disrespectful get over yourself. Criminalizing adultery can lead to the misuse of legal resources that could be better used for addressing more serious crimes. Criminalizing adultery infringes on the privacy of individuals, as it involves government intrusion into intimate and private aspects of life. Obviously you like the government in your bed
I always see adultery as crime because it can destroy the family. A lot of child become depressed and turn into drug and gangster after their parents divorce.
Womp womp. Someone personal relationship shouldn’t be a crime, not everything you see should be a crime
Damn, i keep having this argument with my wife. i rather play video games than cheat on my wife. too much work.
Very true. It all starts off with emotional unchastity or even lusting in the heart as Jesus equates with adultery.
I am surprised he doesn't know that the Torah defines adultery as:
1. a man who sleeps with the wife of another man.
2. a married woman who sleeps with a man other than her husband.
This definition is different from the modern definition where it applies to either sex.

In Islam you can't adultery with another person, even you spouse allow it, but in Islam, you allowed to have polygamy in your marriage if you can be more responsible as husband
The ten commandments was god's version of "Ten things no one should have to tell you"
It should be told it's God's law. God's law is eternal, just because someone didn't follow it or know about it yesterday doesn't mean the law won't exist today or tomorrow. I encourage you and everyone else to continue to see pleasing God and following his law,.. Praying for you guys!
The problem of adultery is lying. The truth is the most important foundation of any person, business, family and society.
@Beth Digout Your mother was wise. Be glad that she's your mother.
Men: Get married, it makes you more responsible & mature! (Guilt trip, no incentive)
Women: Get married it meets your emotional & material needs! (Pandering, all the incentive)

I dodged a bullet in a woman that promised she loved me and wanted nothing more than us to be a family. One night i did what i shouldn't have done and went through her phone. The pictures and conversations i might never forget but God brought me out of that and for that i am so thankful.
This should all be obvious.

1:26 "because like the other nine it is indispensable to forming and maintaining higher civilization" Oh really, how is "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" indispensable to civilization? or "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy", seriously, the top 4 are "worship me, or else!" should not god crush our civilization for not obeying those ones before adultery ruins us?
"Every civilization has religion in its makeup. Every single one came into existence with it." So? "In fact one can say that the concept of morality and justice are only instilled in a culture by belief systems." Now that is just an assumption. "You need religion to form civilization successfully." What happened before does not mean it needs to happen again. Might as well say we need barter, because every civilization began with barter, well no we have ADVANCED, we got money now.
Also, what god? Allah, Yahweh, Vishnu, cthulhu? Will just any god do? Is this the game Black and White?
***** No you are confusing causality, need for order creates belief not the other way around. Imagine your a tribal leader and you lack the power to keep people in line, so you say "god will punish you forever and ever if you don't obey his (my) commands", That is historically observed and also somewhat effective, of course it is archaic today, now we have governments and police and judicial process.
No justifiable morality eh? How about I want to live and you want to live so lets not kill each other? I see no reason to invoke a god to create morality, self-preservation works well enough.
I find you amusing too, your smugness is most refreshing, I love backhand slander and the hypocrisy of claiming politeness while openly claiming to patronize, delicious. Like those teens playing FPS I'll start fapping to you if you insult well enough.
***** Right off the bat with a strawman there eh? I never said religion was the foundation of civilization, I was saying it was a means to an ends. I would say agriculture was the founding of civilization, the cause of civilization, the cause of organized religion even. Religion having been used to enforce morality does not make it a foundation of morality, we have better tools now to enforce morality. So what if there is no objective morality? Your not going to kill because you will be killed. The wrongness of murder is to maintain something greater then your self: society. Do you have children, do you want them to prosper? Your genes do, hence why we developed society and morals because it benefits our survival both individually and together, to do otherwise will increase your chance of being a dead end in the gene pool. Religion like genes has evolved in our minds, it has prospered and mutated into it present forms, and now threatens our civilization: theocratic fundamentalist demand jihad, spiritualist belief threaten all the knowledge we have amassed.
I'm glad to see you clean up your tone, the threat of fapping works.
***** My argument is that it is not, religion was only a tool not a requirement, and there are now better tools. Again religion is not fundamental, is not required. You can try putting words in my mouth all you want.
If your argument were true: christian would commit no crime, yet they do. In fact christian make up more of the prison population then atheist compared to the population in general. And that not counting all the other religions and horrible things commited in name of those gods, of course those religions are wrong to you, and the crusades were a good thing too? The more secular a society is correlated with less crime, less war, higher standard of living. How is "I want to live and live well" a lie? I work with you and work within agreed rules and then I am more likely to achieve my goal of living and living well, this is the fundamental tenet of society, it is not a lie, it s simple action and consequence. It like saying gravity pulls down is a lie.
I you do relies your delusional? I'll guess your state of mind because you seem to think you know mine better then I do.
***** And I say it is not. Agriculture is critical to the foundation of civilization, religion is not, it can be swapped with any other order enforcement system, at any time. Tell me what religion founded Chinese civilization? Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are more philosophies then religions lacking belief in a omipotent deity, let alone one that dictates morality.
I never said morality is not needed, I said relgion is not needed. Morality does not require a god or gods in order to work or be necessary. Consider language: there is no objective language of the universe (well maybe math). There are many different languages and language changes over time, making it unlikely that there is a "true" one. You and I speak a language, why not speak gibberish?, Why not just make up what ever sounds you want? There is no objective language so why not? Ohh that right because then no one would understand you. No one would understand each other, society would collapse. We MADE UP a language so that we could work together and survive. Now swap language for morality. There are many diffrent moralities and morality changes over time, we once were fine with slavery and burning people at the stake, religion was fine with this too, because religion is a pawn of morality not the other-way around. Relgion is made up to fit the moral needs of a specific time and place.
As for why not kill if the opportunity present its self. A lot of people do! Regardless of all the religions. Our society has developed better and better ways of reducing said opportunity to kill and get away with it, and as a result our society is more stable. Claiming an invisible old man living in the sky will have you burn for all eternity was in fact an ineffective way or maintaining morality compared to the modern judicial system, police forces, surveillance system, guns, etc.
Whosoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he marries her who is divorced commits adultery. Luke 16:18
I don't cheat on my boyfriends and resent the ones that cheat on me so I am certainly concerned if someone could cheat on their spouse why should I trust their promise not to cheat on me?
you said it, boyfriendS and why do you even have a boyfriend ? to commit adultery with ?
not to mention the psycological damage done to the person cheated on.
So many people cheat on their spouse because it feels good and exciting to do something bad. That's why a lot of sin is done because a lot of sin is pleasurable and gives a rush. People will do ANYTHING to get the rush and excitement.
Thank you for this in depth wisdom on this subject. I am blessed to have someone who genuinely loves me and tells me this on a regular basis. I am grateful I didn’t marry the first men I dated. I was 32 when I found true love. Not perfect love for we have had to work on many issues together. Our true love and friendship has gotten us through the tough times. God is a partner in our marriage. His principles have given me hope and strength to resolve challenges that come to us all. I prayed for his help in finding the right person. He obviously didn’t answer me when I wanted him to but my age gave me time to grow as well as did my my husband. God blessed me with wise people in my life to help me find my way. Seek for this help. A wise Aunt told me when I was dating that hell was waking up every morning wondering if you are loved. I found heaven. God is no respecter of persons. He will help you too. Seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be given unto you.
I would forgive this I've been there thanks to Jesus we can all learn to forgive

TRUE definition of ADULTERY: Any sexual relationship outside marriage, even when both parties are single. It's not about deceiving your partner, but disobeying your Lord.
It brings nothing but confusion and pain.
Udermines your Marrige and Spirt.
The Lord is against adultary and this is the result.
If only divorce courts were fair to men, maybe waymun would have a reason to stay with their chosen husband.
It's important to note that PragerU isn't an actual university. It's just the name of this youtube channel.
Yes, invented because real Unis have been ruined by post modern social justice warriors.
This is all straight from a Jewish bible which I've studied and that stuff really speaks the truth!
No religion speaks the truth, but okay.
@Lucas Costa sure is
Typically people are as trustworthy as their opportunities allow them to be, keep that in mind.
But what about multiple spouses? You did not address how i believe there was little to no restriction on how many wives a man could have. Is that just being ignored or am I wrong that if a man could support multiple wives and could find willing additional wives he could have them. Am I wrong?
why would you want multiple spouses? not morally or ethically speaking, but you know how woman are, jealousy is inevitable. Unless your intentions are in a sick manner I don't even want to fathom. the end I just tell people to respect other people beliefs and get over it. But as long as you don't force this kind of behavior on your kids, then that's all I can ask.
I wouldn't, I'm happy with my wife in our life. It just seemed an obvious omission to me plus, I know people who happily live that way, not many (2 families come to mind being honest), it is usually a very bad idea but it seemed like an obvious and willful admission. That was all.
so your point is, in short, that an obvious objection with serious and similarly obvious fundamental flaws was ignored?
Why do you think it was ignored, then?
Probably just because of the inconvenience of it, but I am not them so I cannot know for certain. Was hoping someone from the staff might answer.
When God made Adam he saw he was lonely... so he created Eve to be his life long partner. Never in the Bible does it say its okay to have more than one spouse
