Bible Question: Thanks both of you! BradK, your answers are very good, but bring some confusion to me personally. Let me try and clarify a little. My friend believe that *adultery* is wrong, but thinks it's okay to have sex before marriage. Your answer makes me question - is adultery and fornication used interchangeably? These are not the same thing, hence my confusion. Thank you so much and God bless you for your help. |
Bible Answer: Fornication is having sex before marriage. Adultery is Sexual Intercourse with anyone other than your spouse. |
