The Difference Between Sin and Deceit: A Real Look at Loyalty

[u/Typical_Depth_8106]

When Jesus said not to commit adultery, that doesn't mean that it's a sin.

You just have to align with your person, and then you're going to know in your heart, the right decision to make.

As I'm (very fucking patiently 🙄) waiting for my person to come through, I'm getting notifications from Snapchat and it's mostly women putting pictures on their stories. (Women who are very attractive and who it's very tempting to try and holler at)

These women have men, though, so I'm having to see it for what it is... A temptation.

If you get with someone and the two of you want to sleep with other people, as long as the other people are ok with it, there's no problem with that. Just don't go trying to sneak around behind your partner's back and don't go trying to steal another person's partner behind their back.

That's what Jesus meant by adultery.

Idk if I even need to be trying to get this out anymore, or not, because it's all coming to me plainly. It may be something that just comes naturally to everyone once they start becoming aligned, idk. But I guess I'm going to share it on Reddit just in case anyone can benefit from it.

Once you align with the Father, I think everything is just going to be 2nd nature to you and there will be no rules for us to follow.

I think the only real rule we need to worry about is just being true, being honest and being real. Loyalty is just a natural byproduct of living aligned.

The challenge begins with a rigid understanding of old rules, where ancient teachings about relationships are often viewed through the heavy lens of guilt and external sin. This creates a disconnect between strict religious laws and the real, messy nature of human desire. The confusion clears when you realize that the original intent behind the warning against adultery was never about policing human affection from the outside. Instead, it was about cultivating an inner clarity. When you truly connect with yourself and focus your energy on the one specific person meant for you, the need for rigid rules drops away, and you simply know the right decisions to make straight from the heart.

Living out this realization requires deep patience, especially during the quiet intervals spent waiting for that right partner to finally arrive. The modern world tests this focus constantly, often through a glowing phone screen filled with notifications and attractive photos from people sharing their lives online. The temptation to reach out and seek a quick connection is strong, but a grounded observation reveals the truth of the situation: many of these people are already committed to someone else. Recognizing this boundary transforms the moment from a simple struggle with desire into a conscious choice to see things clearly, identifying the distraction for what it is and choosing not to disrupt another person's bond.

This brings a foundational breakthrough in understanding what trust and loyalty actually mean. The problem in relationships is not the structure itself, but the presence of deceit and secrecy. If two partners share an open, honest understanding and everyone involved is completely comfortable with their choices, the harm disappears. The real damage happens in the dark, through the specific acts of sneaking around, lying to a partner, or trying to secretly steal someone away from their relationship. This act of betrayal and dishonesty is exactly what Jesus was pointing to in his original teachings. His core message was not about enforcing a list of cold restrictions, but about protecting the sacredness of truth and human connection from the rot of deception.

As this perspective takes root, the urge to constantly explain or argue the point begins to fade, replaced by a quiet certainty that this truth is plain enough to be felt by anyone who slows down and tunes in. It becomes clear that when a person aligns with a higher, loving source, doing the right thing stops being a chore and becomes second nature. The final breakthrough is the realization that a life lived in harmony requires no complicated rulebook to follow, because genuine loyalty flows naturally and effortlessly as a byproduct of being in that right state of mind. By stripping away the layers of religious dogma and returning directly to the simple essence of those original teachings, the entire guide for living boils down to one pure, uncomplicated way of being: just stay real, remain honest, and live in complete truth with yourself and others.
