Transcript
- 0:04A study conducted by marketing consultant and the Glenden Dating site reveals that the country
- 0:11with the largest number of unfaithful men in Latin America is Colombia, followed by
- 0:17Brazil. In today' s podcast Christian Reflections we see the news from a
- 0:25biblical and Christian perspective. Christian reflections. Since I have had the opportunity to
- 0:36visit many cities around the world to be comedian, librettist, writer and argumentist,
- 0:44you necessarily have to be a great observer. Where I come to,
- 0:50I am always analyzing people' s behavior, including asking why certain behaviors in
- 0:57regions and countries are influenced by cultural aspects. Even I usually ask what are
- 1:07the main family and marriage problems? To those cities to which I come,
- 1:14infidelity is often the predominant note in marriage problems worldwide in today' s society.
- 1:25Seeing the report of that prestigious Colombian magazine entitled Colombia Country of Infidels,
- 1:30I was interested in it because, along with my wife, we are advising
- 1:36on it all the time. In fact, in our virtual community we have
- 1:42a whole course about infidelity. Why the Colombian man today is seen as the
- 1:48most unfaithful in Latin America. I will give you my perspective, as I
- 1:55told you, it is based on the many years traveling and having first-
- 2:00hand information on why infidelity in men from other countries. I will also give
- 2:06my hands to the counseling that we have all the time and, in addition,
- 2:12my experience of several years as a cultural shepherd, Colombians have been taught
- 2:17to be salameros, pyroperos too expressive when it comes to admiring the feminine beauty.
- 2:24I, at least, grew up seeing that my father all the time,
- 2:30all the women were flatteringly, warmly, told them of his eyes,
- 2:36of the color of his hair, of the contours of his body, of
- 2:40the voluptuousness of the woman' s shapes, her hips, her thighs.
- 2:46Anyway, I saw it in my uncles too, I saw it in the
- 2:51neighborhood, everywhere I was. I saw that we Colombians were experts in being
- 2:59ers piropos. We are very creative, we say pyropuses, funny, descriptive,
- 3:07thinking, vulgar pyropuses. There are them of all colors and sizes and
- 3:13they all find them in the main streets and avenues, in the main workplaces,
- 3:17where usually the most beautiful women are the target of all these qualifiers.
- 3:27We Colombians don' t hide when the other woman likes us and because we
- 3:31are so creative and good talkers, we know how to sweeten a conversation with
- 3:38adjectives that seek the goal of captivating that other woman. Recently, in orlando,
- 3:43a Venezuelan girl told me not only the women of Colombia speak nice,
- 3:49the men speak with that Colombian accent and a woman is only captive. The
- 3:57art industry has largely helped this. The Colombian novels, so appetizing all over
- 4:03the world, have fallen in love with viewers of the different Colombian accents,
- 4:10the paisas, the bayunos, the Bogotans, as beautiful as Nashi speaks in
- 4:15the novels. Well, Colombian singers, so famous all over the world,
- 4:21conquer with that colorful sexa pil of our country. In Canada I was told
- 4:30that the Colombian community does the best parties where Colombian men arrive. The meetings
- 4:35take color ambient laughter. They are not afraid to talk, to joke,
- 4:44to joke or to dance. The same was said to me in Sydney,
- 4:49Australia, in the coldest cities in the United States and even in the southernmost
- 4:54part of Chile. They all say where the Colombians arrive. The party'
- 5:00s on. It is not the whole cause, but it has to do
- 5:04to a large extent that it is easier for the Colombian to end up in
- 5:11infidelity, while men from other countries are more derelict, more shy and cautious
- 5:15when it comes to asking for a phone or establishing a friendship. The Colombian
- 5:18is given easy, through the salamería, to start a new and dangerous friendship.
- 5:25But here, within our country, this makes breeding ground, because Colombian
- 5:29women are so well used to being captivating when speaking. Baby, baby,
- 5:39baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. These are expressions
- 5:46that are not used in other countries because women who do so would be considered
- 5:51too daring and reckless. Then there' s a reason. So far as
- 6:00these reasons are concerned, I believe that this is an important cause. But
- 6:04now let me add that perspective to the disastrous outcome we have in the social
- 6:12breakdown figures. Because it does sound nice that we Colombians are gallant conquerors,
- 6:18but it cannot be ignored that marital infidelity is one of the main problems of
- 6:24society. Infidelity brings divorce and family destruction. That is why many children are
- 6:33being raised without a father. In this same flirtate Colombia we talk about the
- 6:39mothers head of household, that is, abandoned women with children who have to
- 6:44face the difficult challenge of working and educating their children. At the same time,
- 6:50marital breakdown brings problems such as depression, traumatic stress, not only for
- 6:58the one who has been deceived, but for his entire family environment. This
- 7:02is also a public health problem. But let us look at how in the
- 7:10Bible, great men destined to do great things ended up in tremendous problems of
- 7:15infidelity. There' s David' s case. The story of David and
- 7:21Bethsabe is one of the best known examples of infidelity. Although David was a
- 7:28man according to God’ s heart, his adultery with Bethsabah and the subsequent
- 7:33murder of her husband Uria Celeteus had serious consequences for her life and her reign.
- 7:41As a result of his sin, the sword never turned away from his
- 7:45home, including the rebellion of his own children and the death of his newborn
- 7:48son. And what about Samson? Although Samson' s infidelity was not necessarily
- 7:57marital, his relations with Philistine women, especially Delilah, led to his fall.
- 8:05Samson revealed the secret of his strength to Delilah, who betrayed him to
- 8:09the Philistines. As a result, Sanson lost his strength, was captured and
- 8:16finally died. And what about Solomon, the son of David, also followed
- 8:22a troubled path. Despite his wisdom and his eye. The word of God
- 8:28shows us that one can be very educated and wise and yet have tendencies to
- 8:31infidelity. Solomon took many foreign wives who eventually took him away from God.
- 8:41Their spiritual infidelity in worshiping other gods those who came along with those women,
- 8:48brought about the division of the kingdom. After his death, Solomon did what
- 8:54offended the Lord and did not follow the Lord completely as his father had done,
- 8:58David says first of kings, eleven six let us conclude. I think
- 9:05one of the tasks we owe ourselves as Colombians is to have self- control.
- 9:11Well, as Colombians and as men in general, know how to cause
- 9:16that flow of flattering words to the wrong person. Constantly in my lectures I
- 9:22am telling married people not to use qualifiers, kind and sweet with people of
- 9:28the other sex. Let your spouse, look at your cell phone that enters
- 9:37every space of your life without restrictions, the one that nothing should, nothing
- 9:45fears have a captive healthy sex life, the relationship from all angles so that
- 9:50sexuality is the manifestation of all those other areas that are continually feeding in a
- 9:56healthy way. Ha has been many years. I threw the last of my
- 10:03compliments and saw the tears I caused in my wife, I knew that what
- 10:09my father, my uncles, the men of my family and my surroundings had
- 10:13done was not healthy. I invite you to do it too. Lord Help
- 10:20every man and woman who unmeasuredly become affectionate to people of the opposite sex,
- 10:26make them understand that those words have only one owner, one owner, take
- 10:35care of us of infidelity in any of its manifestations, that your holy spirit
- 10:39gives us the opportunity to emerge victorious. In this world where infidelity abounds,
- 10:46Our home is in your hands. We ask in the name of Lord Jesus
- 10:52Amen that you have a nice day
