There are standers that carry on nonsexual relationships with other persons and think they are okay because it is nonsexual. I agree that it is not adultery until a sexual act is committed, but the problem with it is that it is a blatant set up for Satan to get in and work on the stander and cause them to fall to adultery.
You cannot play with fire and not get burned. There is what we emotional adultery, which can then lead to sexual adultery. And God is clear about this. Anyone who thinks they can entertain themselves, just keep company so to speak, with another person and keep standing, is a fool. That other person is a tool of Satan to lead them away from their stand, bottom line.
I had a wonderful Christian man vowing his undying love to me in the last year of my stand, begging me to let my stand go, let my husband just go through with the divorce and to marry him. He was everything I prayed my husband would ever be. He was my own vision of a wonderful and secure future and it was like the world being offered to me on a platter, much like when Satan offered it to Jesus on the Mount. He took out a $250,000 loan and held it out to me and told me that he would build me a house of my dreams and I would never have to work again, I could just stay home and be a wife and mom, and he would take care of me.
It was Heaven placed before me on earth it seemed. I stood my ground in telling him no that I was standing for my marriage. And even the occasional times that I was around him, at church, at church functions, he got to me more and more. I was not even keeping company with him, it was just the routine runs in at church for the most part, or the rare encounters on the street, but that alone was enough to make me start floundering in my stand and getting all kinds of wacky thoughts that maybe this was of God, maybe this was my blessing, not my husband, maybe I was all off course and God was trying to take me in another direction.
I had leaders calling me and telling me to snap out of it, this was the enemy in his angel of light attire, and I was still halfhearted arguing with them on the possibility that it may not be. I was ready to leap off the cliff and suddenly my husband was home and the battle was over, before I could leap. I guess He decided He better step things up a bit before I jumped. lol. But if I can get that messed up with just casual unplanned encounters with this man, how much more can one get messed up if they are actually entertaining them and keeping company with them.
I have watched more standers bail off the stand wagon because of another person then for any other reason, and sorry to say, I have no doubts at all that they missed their blessing, but not only that, they are in for a very rude reaping awakening. You just cannot play around like that, it is like opening the door and inviting the enemy in, and he will come in!
