It
is clearly written, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
Adultery is a married person having sex with someone other
than his wife. God’s penalty in the Old Testament was death by stoning and a
destroyed soul. The New Testament allows for repentance, if a person truly will
go and sin no more and trust in Jesus Christ as their only hope of forgiveness.
Putting away a wife, except for FORNICATION,
causes her to commit FORNICATION. A man that marries a divorced
woman commits FORNICATION. A man that divorces his wife, except
for FORNICATION and marries someone else is committing adultery.
A woman that puts away her husband and marries another person is committing
adultery. Even looking on a woman to lust after her is committing adultery with
her already in his heart. There are those whose eyes are full of adultery and
that cannot stop sinning. These are cursed children. However, if the unbelieving
person departs from a believer, the believer is not under bondage in such cases.
The Scripture seems to indicate the one who leaves or divorces the other (except
for the cause of FORNICATION) is an unbeliever.
There is also a form of adultery that one can commit against God. To forsake God or to turn from trusting in God to trusting in something or someone else is adultery against God. For such, God can divorce that person. They can be assured that if they do not repent and are still alive when the Great Tribulation comes, they will enter into it.

NOW MOSES IN THE LAW COMMANDED US, THAT SUCH SHOULD BE STONED: BUT WHAT SAYEST THOU? THIS THEY SAID, TEMPTING HIM, THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE TO ACCUSE HIM. BUT JESUS STOOPED DOWN, AND WITH HIS FINGER WROTE ON THE GROUND, AS THOUGH HE HEARD THEM NOT. SO WHEN THEY CONTINUED ASKING HIM, HE LIFTED UP HIMSELF, AND SAID UNTO THEM, HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN AMONG YOU, LET HIM FIRST CAST A STONE AT HER. AND AGAIN HE STOOPED DOWN, AND WROTE ON THE GROUND. AND THEY WHICH HEARD IT, BEING CONVICTED BY THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE, WENT OUT ONE BY ONE, BEGINNING AT THE ELDEST, EVEN UNTO THE LAST: AND JESUS WAS LEFT ALONE, AND THE WOMAN STANDING IN THE MIDST. WHEN JESUS HAD LIFTED UP HIMSELF, AND SAW NONE BUT THE WOMAN, HE SAID UNTO HER, WOMAN, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? HATH NO MAN CONDEMNED THEE? SHE SAID, NO MAN, LORD. AND JESUS SAID UNTO HER, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, AND SIN NO MORE.

5-THAT THEY MAY KEEP THEE FROM THE STRANGE WOMAN (or
adulteress), FROM THE STRANGER (or wayward wife) WHICH FLATTERETH WITH HER WORDS.
FOR AT THE WINDOW OF MY HOUSE I LOOKED THROUGH MY CASEMENT, AND BEHELD AMONG
THE SIMPLE ONES, I DISCERNED AMONG THE YOUTHS, A YOUNG MAN (WHO LACKED) UNDERSTANDING
(or judgment), (He was) PASSING THROUGH THE STREET NEAR HER CORNER; (walking
along in the direction of) HER HOUSE, IN THE TWILIGHT, IN THE EVENING, IN THE
BLACK AND DARK NIGHT:
10-AND, BEHOLD, THERE (CAME OUT A WOMAN TO MEET HIM, DRESSED
LIKE A PROSTITUTE AND WITH CRAFTY INTENT-NIV). (SHE IS LOUD AND STUBBORN; HER
FEET (NEVER STAY AT HOME-NIV): NOW IS SHE WITHOUT, NOW IN THE STREETS, AND LIETH
IN WAIT AT EVERY CORNER.) SO SHE CAUGHT HIM, AND KISSED HIM, AND WITH AN IMPUDENT
(or brazen) FACE SAID UNTO HIM, I HAVE PEACE (or fellowship) OFFERINGS (AT HOME);
THIS DAY HAVE I PAYED MY VOWS.
15-THEREFORE CAME I FORTH TO MEET THEE, (I HAVE LOOKED FOR
YOU AND HAVE FOUND YOU!-NIV). I HAVE (COVERED) MY BED WITH (COLORED LINENS FROM
EGYPT-NIV). I HAVE PERFUMED MY BED WITH MYRRH, ALOES, AND CINNAMON. COME, LET
US (DRINK OF LOVE) UNTIL THE MORNING: LET US (ENJOY) OURSELVES WITH (LOVE)!
FOR (MY HUSBAND) IS NOT AT HOME, HE IS GONE A LONG JOURNEY:
20-HE HATH TAKEN A BAG OF MONEY WITH HIM, AND WILL COME HOME
AT THE DAY APPOINTED. WITH HER MUCH FAIR SPEECH (or persuasive words) SHE CAUSED
HIM TO YIELD (or led him astray), WITH THE FLATTERING OF HER LIPS (or smooth
talk) SHE FORCED (or seduced) HIM. HE (FOLLOWED) AFTER HER STRAIGHTWAY, AS AN
OX GOETH TO THE SLAUGHTER, OR AS A FOOL TO THE CORRECTION OF THE STOCKS;
TILL A DART (or arrow) STRIKE THROUGH HIS LIVER; AS A BIRD (DARTING) TO THE
SNARE, AND KNOWETH NOT THAT IT IS FOR HIS LIFE (or little knowing it will cost
him his life-NIV). In other words, hell awaits him. HEARKEN UNTO ME NOW THEREFORE,
O YE CHILDREN, AND ATTEND TO THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH.
25-LET NOT THINE HEART DECLINE TO HER WAYS, GO NOT ASTRAY
IN HER PATHS. FOR SHE HATH (BROUGHT) DOWN MANY WOUNDED (or victims): YEA, MANY
STRONG MEN HAVE BEEN SLAIN BY HER. HER HOUSE IS THE WAY TO HELL,
GOING DOWN TO THE CHAMBERS OF DEATH.

IT IS ABOMINATION.

AND THE MAN, THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE, WENT OUT UNTO THEM, AND SAID UNTO THEM, NAY, MY BRETHREN, NAY, I PRAY YOU, DO NOT SO WICKEDLY; SEEING THAT THIS MAN IS COME INTO MINE HOUSE, DO NOT THIS FOLLY.
It is written:
Ro 1:18-32-FOR THE WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN AGAINST
ALL UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, WHO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; BECAUSE THAT WHICH MAY
BE KNOWN OF GOD IS MANIFEST IN THEM; FOR GOD HATH SHEWED
IT UNTO THEM. FOR THE INVISIBLE THINGS OF HIM FROM THE CREATION OF
THE WORLD ARE CLEARLY SEEN, BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE, EVEN
HIS ETERNAL POWER AND GODHEAD; SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE:
BECAUSE THAT, WHEN THEY KNEW GOD, THEY GLORIFIED HIM NOT AS GOD, NEITHER
WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS,
AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED. PROFESSING THEMSELVES TO BE WISE,
THEY BECAME FOOLS, AND CHANGED THE GLORY OF THE UNCORRUPTIBLE GOD INTO AN IMAGE MADE LIKE TO CORRUPTIBLE MAN, AND TO BIRDS, AND FOUR FOOTED BEASTS, AND CREEPING THINGS. WHEREFORE GOD ALSO GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS, TO DISHONOUR THEIR
OWN BODIES BETWEEN THEMSELVES:
25-WHO CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD INTO A LIE, AND WORSHIPPED
AND SERVED THE CREATURE MORE THAN THE CREATOR, WHO IS
BLESSED FOR EVER. AMEN. FOR THIS CAUSE GOD GAVE THEM UP UNTO VILE AFFECTIONS: FOR EVEN THEIR WOMEN DID CHANGE THE NATURAL USE INTO THAT
WHICH IS AGAINST NATURE: AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE MEN, LEAVING
THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMAN, BURNED IN THEIR LUST ONE TOWARD ANOTHER;
MEN WITH MEN WORKING THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY, AND RECEIVING IN THEMSELVES THAT RECOMPENCE OF THEIR ERROR WHICH WAS MEET.
AND EVEN AS THEY DID NOT
LIKE TO RETAIN GOD IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO
A REPROBATE MIND, TO DO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT CONVENIENT;
BEING FILLED WITH ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, FORNICATION,
WICKEDNESS, COVETOUSNESS, MALICIOUSNESS; FULL OF ENVY, MURDER, DEBATE, DECEIT,
MALIGNITY; WHISPERERS,
30-BACKBITERS, HATERS OF GOD, DESPITEFUL,
PROUD, BOASTERS, INVENTORS OF EVIL THINGS, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING, COVENANT BREAKERS, WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, IMPLACABLE, UNMERCIFUL: WHO KNOWING THE JUDGMENT OF GOD, THAT THEY WHICH COMMIT
SUCH THINGS ARE WORTHY OF DEATH, NOT ONLY DO THE SAME, BUT HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM.
1 Cor 6:9,10,11-KNOW YE NOT THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? BE NOT DECEIVED: NEITHER FORNICATORS, NOR IDOLATERS, NOR ADULTERERS, NOR EFFEMINATE, NOR ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES WITH MANKIND, NOR THIEVES, NOR COVETOUS, NOR DRUNKARDS, NOR REVILERS, NOR EXTORTIONERS, SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND SUCH WERE SOME
Gen 19:4-17, 24-26-BUT BEFORE THEY LAY DOWN, THE MEN OF THE CITY, EVEN THE MEN OF SODOM, COMPASSED THE HOUSE ROUND, BOTH OLD AND YOUNG, ALL THE PEOPLE FROM EVERY QUARTER: AND THEY CALLED UNTO LOT AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHERE ARE THE MEN WHICH CAME IN TO THEE THIS NIGHT? BRING THEM OUT UNTO US, THAT WE MAY KNOW THEM. AND LOT WENT OUT AT THE DOOR UNTO THEM, AND SHUT THE DOOR AFTER HIM, AND SAID, I PRAY YOU, BRETHREN, DO NOT SO WICKEDLY. BEHOLD NOW, I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS WHICH HAVE NOT KNOWN MAN; LET ME, I PRAY YOU BRING THEM OUT UNTO YOU, AND DO YE TO THEM AS IS GOOD IN YOUR EYES: ONLY UNTO THESE MEN DO NOTHING; FOR THEREFORE CAME THEY UNDER THE SHADOW OF MY ROOF. AND THEY SAID, STAND BACK. AND THEY SAID AGAIN, THIS ONE FELLOW CAME IN TO SOJOURN, AND HE WILL NEEDS BE A JUDGE: NOW WE WILL DEAL WORSE WITH THEE, THAN WITH THEM. AND THEY PRESSED SORE UPON THE MAN, EVEN LOT, AND CAME NEAR TO BREAK THE DOOR.
10-BUT THE MEN PUT FORTH THEIR HAND, AND PULLED LOT INTO THE HOUSE TO THEM, AND SHUT TO THE DOOR. AND THEY SMOTE THE MEN THAT WERE AT THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE WITH BLINDNESS, BOTH SMALL AND GREAT: SO THAT THEY WEARIED THEMSELVES TO FIND THE DOOR. AND THE MEN SAID UNTO LOT, HAST THOU HERE ANY BESIDES? SON IN LAW, AND THY SONS, AND THY DAUGHTERS, AND WHATSOEVER THOU HAST IN THE CITY, BRING THEM OUT OF THIS PLACE: FOR WE WILL DESTROY THIS PLACE BECAUSE THE CRY OF THEM IS WAXEN GREAT BEFORE THE FACE OF THE LORD; AND THE LORD HATH SENT US TO DESTROY IT. AND LOT WENT OUT, AND SPAKE UNTO HIS SONS IN LAW, WHICH MARRIED HIS DAUGHTERS, AND SAID, UP, GET YOU OUT OF THIS PLACE; FOR THE LORD WILL DESTROY THIS CITY. BUT HE SEEMED AS ONE THAT MOCKED UNTO HIS SONS IN LAW. AND WHEN THE MORNING AROSE, THEN THE ANGELS HASTENED LOT, SAYING, ARISE, TAKE THY WIFE, AND THY TWO DAUGHTERS, WHICH ARE HERE; LEST THOU BE CONSUMED IN THE INIQUITY OF THE CITY. AND WHILE HE LINGERED, THE MEN LAID HOLD UPON HIS HAND, AND UPON THE HAND OF HIS WIFE, AND UPON THE HAND OF HIS TWO DAUGHTERS; THE LORD BEING MERCIFUL UNTO HIM: AND THEY BROUGHT HIM FORTH, AND SET HIM WITHOUT THE CITY. AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THEY HAD BROUGHT THEM FORTH ABROAD, THAT HE SAID, ESCAPE FOR THY LIFE; LOOK NOT BEHIND THEE, NEITHER STAY THOU IN ALL THE PLAIN; ESCAPE TO THE MOUNTAIN, LEST THOU BE CONSUMED.
24-THEN THE LORD RAINED UPON SODOM AND GOMORRAH BRIMSTONE AND FIRE FROM THE LORD OUT OF HEAVEN; AND HE OVERTHREW THOSE CITIES, AND ALL THE PLAIN, AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE CITIES, AND THAT WHICH GREW UPON THE GROUND. BUT HIS WIFE LOOKED BACK FROM BEHIND HIM, AND SHE BECAME A PILLAR OF SALT.
1 Ki 14:24-AND THERE WERE ALSO SODOMITES IN THE LAND: AND THEY DID ACCORDING TO ALL THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE NATIONS WHICH THE LORD CAST OUT BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.

Lev 20:15-16-"'IF A MAN HAS SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH AN ANIMAL, HE MUST BE PUT TO DEATH, AND YOU MUST KILL THE ANIMAL. "'IF A WOMAN APPROACHES AN ANIMAL TO HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH IT, KILL BOTH THE WOMAN AND THE ANIMAL. THEY MUST BE PUT TO DEATH; THEIR BLOOD WILL BE ON THEIR OWN HEADS. (NIV)
Deut 23:17-THERE SHALL BE NO WHORE OF THE DAUGHTERS OF ISRAEL, NOR A SODOMITE OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL.
18-YOU SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS
Mt
7:16-YE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS.
Mt 7:20-WHEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM.
19-THE NATURAL MAN CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT
1 Cor 2:14-BUT THE NATURAL MAN (or man without the Spirit) RECEIVETH NOT THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD: FOR THEY ARE FOOLISHNESS UNTO HIM: (HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED-NIV).
1
Jn 2:11-HE…KNOWETH NOT WHITHER HE GOETH, BECAUSE THAT DARKNESS HATH BLINDED
HIS EYES.
Mt 6:23-IF THEREFORE THE LIGHT THAT IS IN THEE BE DARKNESS,
HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS! If a person believes he is going to heaven or believes
he is saved, yet God’s Word clearly shows that he is not saved—the darkness
or deception in that person’s heart is very, very great.
20-WILL THESE INCREASE IN THE FUTURE?
As birth pangs of a woman, these things will increase during these latter days. During the Tribulation, they will continue to increase until finally the King of kings returns at Armageddon. In that day, this wickedness will end as few will be left alive on planet earth.
21-THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR—FLEE FROM THESE
The message is clear. Flee from fornication. Flee from adultery. Flee from sex: men with men and women with women. Flee from harlots. Flee from pornography. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. EVERYONE WHO CONFESSES THE NAME OF THE LORD MUST TURN AWAY FROM WICKEDNESS-2 Tim 2:19 NIV. Because, as it is written, WITHOUT HOLINESS, NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD-Heb 12:14 NIV.
Regarding sex within marriage, the Bible is very clear. Heb 13:4-Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
There is hope. That hope is centered in Jesus Christ. Repent and receive Jesus Christ as your only hope of salvation. If you will turn your life over to Him, He can and will forgive you, heal you, and give you the strength to overcome all things. Click here for more on salvation.
