Christy Bature: Why adultery among women attracts severe repercussion

By Toyin Adeniyi

Popular Nigerian preacher and founder of 180 Degree Rehabilitation Centre, Rev Christy Bature has identified reasons why adultery among women have dire consequences as against their male counterparts.

She made this known while speaking to a group of women in a message posted online monitored by Church Times

Bature said she had once wondered at the undue victimisation of women who commit adultery from the accounts in the Old Testament books of the Bible while nothing is done to the men

She said she had also questioned the Old Testament practice that allowed a husband to bring a suspected adulterous wife before a priest and made her go through certain rituals to prove her innocence.

If the women are found guilty they face dire consequences. But the men seem to have a field day committing the same sin.

Bature said after years of not understanding why women are always at the receiving when it comes to adultery, God opened her eyes to some hitherto hidden truth about the issue.

She came to realise that God shows no favoritism toward men either citing scriptures in Proverbs and Job that also condemn adulterous male folks which indicated that men who commit adultery will be reduced to a piece of bread

Bature explained however that the Bible’s emphasis on female sexual purity stemmed from the woman’s role as the “legal doorway through which life comes to the earth.”

She argued that when that “passage is polluted,” it affects future generations.

Drawing from her experience running a faith-based rehabilitation center for individuals battling drug and sex addiction, Bature said many of those struggling with sexual addiction were “children of promiscuous mothers,” whom she said carried “spirits from every man they slept with.”

She then urged Christians to let the scripture and not culture or personal experiences guide their beliefs.
