Sexual immorality is not something a Christian should wave about and look for loopholes about. I'm sorry if Miguiel was sincerely questioning with these questions, but to me they farcical as if you are trying to look for ways to have your cake and eat it too.
Well, even when we know that adultery is a sin, just looking at a woman to lust after her, is adultery.
(Here Miguiel is stating that he knows adultry is a sin, and even as Jesus said to lust after in your heart is wrong)
Does that mean that when a woman looks at a man to lust after him, is not a sin?
(The word "man" used in the Bible is not considered valid only for the male species. Since a woman is quite capable of having the ability to lust, and we know that yes this verse applies to women just as much as it does men.)
What about a man looking at a woman or a woman looking at a man without lust but with deep affection, "loving" in a platonic way? Is that possible? What about "lustless" friendship between people of different gender? Can there be such a thing?
(Yes Miguiel, you can admire a something beautiful without lusting after it. Yes friendship with between male and female without sexual basis is quite possible.)
