Open Marriage An Abomination To God

 Well this year has been a very sad year. We lost of lovable Wilson a Golden Retriever at 10 1/2 years old to cancer and had to have him put down. Now the next big explosion is that my oldest daughter let us know that she and her husband are getting divorced. She is telling me that he has told her he wants an open marriage. What is this a license to fool around with whomever you choose. I am sure she is making the right decision to divorce him and move on with her life. Besides this he wants to smoke his pot and God knows what else. All I can do is pray for him and that is exactly what I have done.
 It's just strange that a couple of years ago my wife told me that my that my own sister and husband wanted to involve her in their open marriage. It was at that point that I told my sister that I wanted nothing further to do with her and that she was no longer welcome in my house. I had also found out some things that were going on in my family and what her husband had been doing with my mother who was in her late 70s at the time. I can tell you I was truly disgusted with all of everything that was going on.
 If it was making me feel so sick what must it make God feel.

                                            Hebrews 13:4
 4 yLet marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge zthe sexually immoral and adulterous.

                                           1st Corinthians 6:13

13 d“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one eand the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but ffor the Lord, and gthe Lord for the body.

                                            The Sixth Commandment

1. Adultery is the sexual union of a man and woman where at least one is married to someone else. It is for this reason that the Church considers it a greater sin than fornication.^[107] Kreeft states, "The adulterer sins against his spouse, his society, and his children as well as his own body and soul."^[122]

Information from Wikipedia

The ninth and tenth commandments deal with coveting, which is an interior disposition not a physical act.^[149] The Catechism distinguishes between covetousness of the flesh (improper sexual desire) and covetousness for another's worldly goods. The ninth commandment deals with the former and the tenth the latter.^[147]

Jesus emphasized the need for pure thoughts as well as actions, and stated, "Everyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 5:28).^[149][150] The Catechism states that, with the help of God's grace, men and women are required to overcome lust and bodily desires "for sinful relationships with another person's spouse."^[149] In Theology of the Body, a series of lectures given by Pope John Paul II, Jesus' statement in Matthew 5:28 is interpreted that one can commit adultery in the heart not only with another's spouse, but also with his/her own spouse if one looks at him/her lustfully or treats him/her "only as an object to satisfy instinct".^[151][152]

Purity of heart is suggested as the necessary quality needed to accomplish this task; common Catholic prayers and hymns include a request for this virtue.^[149] The Church identifies gifts of God that help a person maintain purity:

1. Chastity, which enables people to love others with upright and undivided hearts.
2. Purity of intention, which seeks to fulfill God's will in everything, knowing that it alone will lead to the true end of man.
3. Purity of vision, "external and internal", disciplining the thoughts and imagination to reject those that are impure.
4. Prayer that recognizes the power of God to grant a person the ability to overcome sexual desires.
5. Modesty, of the feelings as well as the body is discreet in choice of words and clothing.^[146][149]

Jesus stated, "Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God."^[153][154] This purity of heart, which the ninth commandment introduces, is the "precondition of the vision of God" and allows the person to see situations and people as God sees. The Catechism teaches that "there is a connection between purity of heart, of body and of faith."^[146][154]

It All Started With God, Adam and Eve

 When I look around the news today all I see is people looking at how different we all are. Then you get the person judging the other because they believe something different then you do. Well if you took a look at the big picture you would find out we are all related. Basically what I mean is we are all children of God The Father.
 If you take a look way back in history you would find out that we all started with two people. One man and one woman to be exact. Yes I am talking about Adam and Eve. God made Adam out of the clay of the earth and blew life into his nostrils. Then he took a rib from Adam and Created Eve to be his wife. Now from these two people we have all the generations from then until now. So as you can see we are all related by two people in the beginning.
 So when it comes down to it we are all brothers and sisters, cousins, uncles and Aunts . So yes we all have one heavenly father. So when you are hurting some one else you are hurting a very distant brother or sister. Do you seriously think your heavenly father would want you to hurt your family member. I know as a father myself I hate it when one of my children hurts the other. I know I have always had them apologize to one another and make things right.
 I think it we all stopped and took a long look at each other we would find we have more in common then we know. Most of us believe in the beginning with God,Adam and Eve in the garden. We all believe that God is the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. We all believe that Jesus was a Prophet as well as many other things. Yes there are some differences and we need to stop hurting one another and start loving one another as Jesus taught.
 We need to stop judging and let God Be The Judge.
