“Infidelity is a result of one’s lack of self control”

Objection 1

“God allowed men to have multiple wives in the Old Testament (OT) because men were weak with lust and had no power from Holy Spirit. Now that the Holy Spirit has come, men are no longer allowed to have multiple wives.” Answer: this objection assumes a man’s desire for another wife is forbidden but this is not true. His desire is a biological drive. If the claim about lust were true, there’d be Bible verses commanding monogamy for Believers under the New Covenant (NT), but nothing is mentioned.

a lust is any evil or forbidden desire. For example, the desire to have another man’s wife. Wives belong to their husbands for life (1 Corinthians 7:39). Therefore, it’s a sin to have sex with or marry another man’s wife while he’s still alive.

The KJV dictionary defines desire this way:

An emotion or excitement of the mind, directed to the attainment or possession of an object from which pleasure, sensual, intellectual or spiritual, is expected; a passion excited by the love of an object, or uneasiness at the want of it, and directed to its attainment or possession. Desire is a wish to possess some gratification or source of happiness which is supposed to be obtainable. A wish may exist for something that is or is not attainable.

Desire, when directed solely to sensual enjoyment, differs little from appetite. In other languages, desire is expressed by longing or reaching toward, and when it is ardent or intense, it approaches to longing, but the word in English usually expresses less than longing.

So, a desire for a good thing is acceptable, but a desire for something forbidden is called a lust. Here’s some examples:

• You desire food after a five-day fast—that’s a normal desire.
• You’ve eaten five pieces of cake. You know you shouldn’t eat more, but you desire more—this is a lust.

The thing to remember is: good desires are okay, forbidden or evil desires are not. “
