Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Judges 16:4- "Some time later, he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah"

Historically, Delilah was known as a woman in the Old Testament who was a mistress of Samson.

She betrayed him to the Philistines by having his hair shorn while he slept, thus depriving him of his strength.

Her name has become synonymous with female betrayal by sexual means.

We just had a case here in BC where a principal of a school had 5 lovers (plus his estranged wife)

One of the lovers one day took a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the groin, thus killing him

When I saw the headlines, without much detail other than "murder" and "5 lovers" I guessed the situation correctly

I felt like saying, "AHA! The jig is up!"

Crimes of passion are not new, and we haven't seen the last of them yet, I believe

And that's why God hates adultery! Nothing good comes from it.... Cheating on your marriage partner is like putting a knife in his/her back. Some can't stand the humiliation and fight back. It's a vicious circle....
