Why call it “an affair”

“Why don’t you just call it with Jesus called it: adultery! I’m disappointed that you use toned down words to describe things the Bible clearly speaks against. The word affair should not be mentioned in Christian circles. Even divorce should be a lot more rare – only in it cases of abuse - and no remarriages! Jesus never condoned that. In Matthew 19:9 the word fornication means sex between two unmarried people - usually during the betrothal period. As the example Joseph was going to divorce Mary because he thought that she was in fornication. That is why it is only found in Matthew, but not mentioned in Mark or Luke. Matthew was written to the Jewish people and betrothal was not practiced outside of the Jewish community. There were cases of remarriage in the Bible that usually lead to disaster!
I get it: many of your listeners have been divorced, and even remarried. But that should not stop us from speaking the truth in love and encouraging them to reconcile. I cannot listen to a podcast that speaks so matter-of-factly about things that the Bible condones. Please listen to some of Dr. Joseph Webb’s YouTube videos. They are very eye-opening for many pastors. God HATES divorce but he loves people! We should hate the thing that God hates love what God loves.”
