Adultery is a Sin!

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” —Hebrews 13:4

Adultery is a horrible sin. It is tragic that so many people take the sin of adultery lightly, making TV shows such as, CALIFORNICATION, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and WIFE SWAP. Marriage is holy and sacred.

Also, many people today think that fornication (sex outside of marriage) is acceptable just so long as no marital commitment is involved. That is demonic thinking. The only acceptable sex is within a marriage. That is what Hebrews 13:5 teaches. Fornication is just as wicked as the sin of adultery.

We live in an adulterous generation whose eyes are FULL of adultery...

“Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children” —2nd Peter 2:14

I once heard a preacher make a good statement, he said, “Movies don't make people commit adultery. Adulterous producers make adulterous movies that inspire adulterous people.” And so it is.

In an interview with TV Guide, Gene Simmons of the devilish Rock band, Kiss, bragged that he has had sex with 4,897 women throughout his career. Please understand that I don't condemn anyone, for the Bible condemns all of us as guilty, dirty, rotten, hell-deserving sinners. It is not my place to judge. My salvation solely rests in Christ's righteousness, because of the precious blood that He gave for our sins.

Would Jesus forgive such a man as Gene Simmons? Yes, absolutely! Any sin is forgivable through faith in Jesus Christ...

“To Him [Jesus] give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins.” —Acts 10:43

There is no depth of sin to which a sinner may go, but that God in His love and mercy will forgive that person if they come by way of the blood of Jesus Christ...

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” —Isaiah 1:18

Amen!

American society has been so desensitized by the hellivision that sexual immorality has become widely acceptable nowadays. Instead of teaching public school teens that premarital sex is a sin in God's eyes; they pass out condoms for them to fornicate and then provide free secretive abortions1 when the condoms fail.

People don't even think twice about divorcing nowadays and remarrying... “Oh well, if this marriage doesn't work out I'll just try another one.” Hollywood is synonymous with adultery. When people sit at home and watch adultery on TV, it is just as wrong as if you invited them into your home to commit adultery in front of you.
 

The Sin of Divorce

There are NO Biblical grounds for divorce. Jesus said in Matthew 19:8 that divorce has never been permissible with God, and only by the hardness of one's hard does a divorce occur.

The following Scripture can be taken multiple ways by itself...

"But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." —Matthew 5:32

However, Jesus plainly commanded forgiveness in Matthew 18:22, not just 7-times; but 70 times 7. If one is to exemplify Jesus Christ in marriage, then divorce is unthinkable, because God never forsakes nor abandons His own (Hebrews 13:5). Self-righteous is often the cause of divorce.

The last time I checked the Bible, It says there's NONE that doeth good...

“They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.” —Romans 3:12-18

Tragically, there are MANY people today who think it's ok to have sexual relations, even with multiple partners, just so long as one is not married. May I say, that is NOT what then Bible teaches.

“Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.” —1st Corinthians 7:2

The only “gay marriage” is between one man and one woman.
 

Hosea and Gomer

There is a wonderful account in the Old Testament about a man named Hosea and his wife, Gomer. They married and had children. The prophet Hosea loved Gomer, but she forsook him in adultery. Hosea was heartbroken and lonely. Years passed. One day Hosea sees his long lost love for sale at a slave market. Hosea's heart leaps for joy when he sees his wife, his heart broken from years of loneliness and he casts the highest bid. Hosea embraces his wife and takes her back into his home. What a precious story!

Oh listen my friend, this is a picture of God's unconditional love; not the type of synthetic love that the world offers. Hosea NEVER gave up on his wife. This is Biblical Christianity.

Please understand that I am not condemning anyone in any way. I didn't write this article to condemn anyone, truly. I am a guilty, dirty, rotten, hell-deserving sinner just like anybody else. We all deserve to burn in the fires of Hell because of our sins. The Bible teaches in Romans 3:12-18...

“They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

I wrote this article to proclaim the Biblical TRUTH that God never gives up on anyway. We may give up on our selves; but God never gives up on us. Likewise, I don't believe one should ever give up on their spouse. 

Oh listen my friend, you are on the slave market of sin. Jesus paid your sin debt. Just as Hosea was willing to receive Gomer as she was, so will Jesus save you just as you are. All that God requires is for you to come as a guilty sinner to be forgiven of your sins by Jesus Christ.

Won't you receive Jesus Christ now as your personal Savior? John 1:12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” How to Go to Heaven

"Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.." —1st Corinthians 10:12-13
