What is your opinion on this...
My good friend who is a Christian and married has a friend who she corresponds with on the net this email relationship is one that is emotional and intimate..I told her she is commiting Adultery and she said although she knows she is being somewhat immoral, she is not planning on meeting this person and enjoys his friendship for now..
What can I do to encourage her to terminate this kind of internet fling?
Is this a common practice for people to get into on the net?
Thanks!

The bible is very specific is stating that even if you've commited adultery in your mind, you have done so with your body.
Playing the game of getting as close as you can (to cheating without actually doing so physically) is a horrible act that she needs to cease because she is cheating on her spouse, and cheating herself.
R U saved?

Your friend is clearly in denial. She may not have physically committed an act of adultery but she has committed the sin of lust in her heart by entering a relationship you describe as emotional and intimate. Ask her, quite frankly, if she would openly chat with this man with her husband present. I'm guessing it is something she does secretly because she knows it is immoral. She needs to examine her heart under the Light! Urge her to get rid of the computer altogether if it creates such a temptation in her life. It's an all too common problem and exists because it can be hidden so easily. It doesn't excape the eyes of God, and it will ultimately take its toll on her marriage. She sounds like she is looking for attention, but this email affair is not the right kind.

I know of at least 2 married couples close to me that have had their relationship torn apart. Even flirting with the idea of having a relationship with someone else is a sin. Jesus said that if any man (or woman) even thinks lustfully of another, they have commited adultry in their heart. That is not to say attraction for the opposite sex does not happen, but purposefully dwelling on those thoughts is a sin and is adultry.
In my experience, where there is smoke there is fire. She should be pure in heart, not just physical actions. I once heard a man say "Don't do anything that you wouldn't want to be on the front page of the morning newspaper!" Bold statement but true. As Christians, we are suppose to live transparent lives.
Ask you friend if she really believes in God. Then ask her if she would be okay with contacting this internet fling if Jesus was looking over her shoulder. If she is a true Christian, then she already feels conviction about it, whether she admits it or not. You need to first pray for her, and secondly show her that there is no such thing as "somewhat immoral", it's black and white. Most likely she is trying to justify her actions in her mind by saying she never plans to actual meet the guy, etc. Then what exactly is she hoping to accomplish?

A married woman is not allowed to have intimate and emotional friendships with anyone else net or in person?
When did such a think become adultery? Did she tell you she is in "love" with this person? If not why are you jumping to conclusions?
One of my best friends is male and we share all kinds of things about our lives etc. He has been a great mentor to me.
What I would be more concerned about is WHY you think you are entitled to butting into her life like that?

Expression of emotion is key in any relationship. Has anyone considered the possible resolution may be this woman has a marriage that is founded on bad values and the woman may be searching for answers. Life is a river and you are on it for the ride. Something is missing from this woman and to make the demon's find their way out of her. She will find the feelings she needs this is the direction.

You're friend is lonely and whether or not this person is real, this person is looking for the ultimate companionship.
Friends with benefits, and not even having to meet the other person.
But, hey, everyones human. I'd say leave this person alone.
I also don't think your friend being a Christian is an important detail..other religions have morals, too, you know.

She has committed adultery in her heart, but it is her business.

This is real simple. Ask her if her husband knows.
If not she should tell him. Why wouldn't she?
If she says she can't tell him, then she knows it's adulterous.
If he knows and is ok with it, then she can continue.
