"What should I say if someone
asks, ‘Have you ever lusted?’"
An individual may
challenge you on this issue while you’re going
through the Ten Commandments with him. Take care when
answering. There is such a thing as being too candid.
A U.S. president became synonymous with the word "lust"
because he lacked discretion in answering this question.
Soften your answer with, "I have broken all of
the Ten Commandments in spirit, if not in letter."
That will not only defuse the issue, but will give you
opportunity to explain that we all have a sin nature
and need God’s forgiveness.
