Could You Be a Married Adulterer? - For Christians Only
Adultery has been going on for centuries and obviously was a problem 2500 years ago or it wouldn't have been mentioned in the Bible so many times.
Could you actually be married to someone and be considered an adulterer? It's time for you to learn all the rules in the New Testament about adultery.
Here's a Bible verse that could get a lot of Christians in trouble.
Mark 10:11-12 (New King James Version)" 11 So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries commits adultery against her.
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.
" It looks a little more complicated than most of us could have ever thought.
Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, has committed adultery.
That means that there are millions of Christians all over the world who have committed adultery.
I've got some more bad news for Christians who might have looked at a woman lustfully.
Matthew 5:28 (New International Version Bible) "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
" This isn't looking good, for men or women is it? If you've never been married, but while you were at church, notice an attractive woman or man and had lustful thoughts, about them, you're an adulterer.
I know, it sounds a little harsh, but I'm not making anything up here, it's right out of the Bible.
I know things aren't looking good but I would like to leave you with a comforting thought.
If you were divorced from your spouse because of an adulterous relationship, things might be starting to look a little different with this next Bible verse.
Matthew 19:9 (New International Version Bible) I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery.
" These are typical contradictions and they are located throughout the Bible.
Mark 10:11-12 states that all divorced people who have remarried, commit adultery.
Matthew 19:9 states something completely different, if your divorced and your ex spouse has been unfaithful during your marriage and you remarry, everything is okay.
Are you even more confused than when I started? There's a good chance that you are.
I'm even confused and I wrote the article.
The real question is, can we remarry or can't we.
This would be a good topic during Bible study.
