Dear Black Women

Jeanetta Riley · Wednesday, April 29th 2009 at 12:58AM · 164 views
Hello Ladies:

I am sitting here at work and it is hard sometimes to be a Christian because once you become saved the things you used to do have to go away and sometimes it is hard because your plate is wiped clean with God but the memories of who you used to be still exists. How do you talk to someone who is married about not cheating without sounding like you think you are bigger or better than the person. I want to do it in a way that she doesn't feel that I am judging her. But adultry is a sin and we are to help all we can come to HIM right??????????????????????

Sister Jeanetta,
I would pray for the person, because people who are cheating know that it's wrong already that's why they "sneak" to do it. If the young lady asks you for your opinion, then by all means give it but until then keep the individual in prayer.

girl i'm with u but look at it this way. forget about cheating being a sin it's just plain wrong. i am sure if it was flipped ur girl would be upset if her husband was dippin around. its about us treating each other with respect, love and empathy. once your married u no longer have the right to dip outside of your relationship because it can create emotional and if your not protected physical harm to your mate. that is why God made it a sin because of the implications. if she doesn't get it then let life teach her that lesson.

Sister you are a friend to want to help her as an above post stated your obligation is to pray for her and her situation. As a friend who is spiritual and that reads scripture I would encourage her to read with you the many scriptures so that it is not your word but God's word speaking to her. At that point allow the Holy Spirit to work within her because then you would have alternately fulfilled your obligation as her Sister in Christ. Scripture: I Corinthians 6:18-20, I Thessalonians 4:1-8, Titus 2:12, Exodus 20:14 just to name a few. I would like to encourage you to visit my website for more spiritual vitamin: sisterhoodmuchmore.synthasite.com Have a wonder blessed day

Hey crystal smith,
Is that why you hate on Kobe,because he cheated on his wife? I say 2 each it's own,and let her be. We don't know what kind of marriage she's in at this time. It could be for convenience or a green card. We don't know ,so let her be.

my personal belief is that marriage should not be taken lightly. if someone does then they wil suffer the consequences of their choices whether good or bad. no i don't like kobe because he cheated that is between he, his wife and whoever else was involved. i told u why i didn't like kobe.

I know baby girl,i'm just messing with you. I know marriage is special,and cheating is wrong. I'm going through a divorce right now,and even though were not together,i still respect my marriage vows. My friends think i'm crazy 4 not cheating since him and i have been separated 4 over a year now,but me being faithful is important 2 mewhether were together or not. Believe me after the ink dries on my divorce papers i'm going 2 have fun. I already got a few recruits on ice waiting 4 that day,and i can't wait!
