“Please Write To A Veterinarian”

Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles

Years ago, a man wrote to Dear Abby and asked, “Dear Abby: I am in love and am having an affair with two different women. I can’t marry them both. Please tell me what to do, but don’t give me any of that morality stuff” (source).

Abby’s answer was classic. She wrote:

Dear Sir: The only difference between humans and animals is morality. Please write to a veterinarian.

The apostle Paul instructs us by inspiration:

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor” (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4).

The writer of Hebrews tells us, “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4).
