Bible Question: Tim and Kalos: Do you agree that the word adulterous can mean more than sexual unfaithfulness? |
Bible Answer: The Bible is clear that the adultery means any sexual acts out side the husband/wife relationship. All fornication,homosexaulality,beastiality adultry. 1 Cor. 6:9 And Jesus even included lustful thoughts Matt.5:27,28 Believers are called the body of Christ,in 1 Cor.6:15-20 says "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot?Certainly not!Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two"He says"shall become one flesh." But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.Flee sexual immorality.Every sin that a man does is outside the body,But he who commits sexual immorality,sins against his own body.Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,whom you have from God,and you are not your own?For you were bought at a price;therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit,which are God's. Adulterous is also used to describe people or nations that have turned away from God,to worship idols,this too is called fornication and adultry.Isa 57:3 |
