What is adultry ?

I know it is a sin to commit adultry . I have been wondering lately , what exactly is considered adultry ? Can somebody please help meee ?

Answer #1

From an ancient Hebrew perspective, adultery refers only to a man having sex with another man’s wife or unmarried/unwidowed daughter. The reason is, that women (wives and daughters) were considered property and adultery was a form of theft.

The following were perfectly acceptable to the ancient Hebrews who wrote the commandments, and were not considered adultery

  • A man having sex with a prostitute, a widow, his slaves, war captives, or any other unowned female

  • An unowned female having sex with any male, married or not

Having sex with another man’s slave girl was frowned upon, but not technically adultery. If caught, you would be required to purchase the slave girl at a fair price.

Answer #2

it is when you have sex with someone your not marryed to or masterbating and even just thinking about sex is a sin.

Answer #3

Adultery in the broadest sense refers to extramarital sex. As a legal term the definition varies in different legal systems. There is a lot of ambiguity about what exactly constitutes adultery. Jesus said that to lust after another woman is to commit adultery. Of course this is an impossibly tough standard of fidelity to live up to. Is fondling or titillation adultery? Genital contact? Coitus? other forms of genital stimulation? Famously President Clinton claimed that he did not have sex with Monica Lewinsky since she only fellated him. To most people this was extramarital sex but a lawyer could make a case that merely allowing someone else to do something does not rise to the standard of adultery.

Answer #4

Adultery is simply having sex outside marriage

Answer #5

cheating

Answer #6

having sex whit people to pay them or to have them pay you…

GOOD LUCK:)

Answer #7

Having sex with someone who is not your spouse is adultery.

Answer #8

I AM HERE TO SAY THAT I AM NOT PERFECT AND NO ONE HERE IS. THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN MAKE THAT CLAIM IS JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF/GOD. I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT FIRST. AND WHILE WERE ON THIS SUBJECT ABOUT LUST/ I’D LIKE TO SAY THAT I THINK THAT THE WORLD WE LIVE TODAY IS A WORLD THAT IS CENTERED AROUND LUST. I HATE THAT EVERYWHERE I GO THERE IS A PROMOTION OF SOME KIND AND TO SELL THIS THEY PUT A NAKED WOMEN TO SELL A NEW PRODUCT. OR PARTIALLY DRESSED TO GET MEN TO BUY OR MAKE A BETTER PROMOTION/ATTENTION. Tactic IS DIGUSTING ME AT THE FACT THAT MORALS AND values for A WOMENS BODY IS LONGER PRECIOUS. MOVIES FOR EXAMPLE. I CAN’T WATCH A MOVIE WITH MY MAN WITH THE UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING THAT HE MUST BE HAVING SOME DIRTY THOUGHTS AND IS SCRATCHING ( YEAH RIGHT) “ NO REAL ITCH” ITS THE INTICING FEELINGS OF LUST! I HATE IT! I JUST THREW THE DVD OUT THE WINDOW OF OUR BALCONY BECAUSE I GOT SO ANGRY. I KNEW IT AND I KNEW WHAT HE WAS THINKING! I TELLING YOU PEOPLE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR BIBLICAL MEN AND WOMEN! GET BACK TO THE ROOT OF IT ALL! WHY ARE WE HERE? GOD IS THE ONE WE SHOULD HONOR. WE HONOR HIM WITH HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES AND MOVIES THAT PROVOKE LUST DO NOT HONOR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, FURTHER MORE I HAVE TO MAKE THIS CLEAR THAT I AM NOT OF A RELIGIOUS PERSON OR GROUP. I JUST BELIEVE IN GOD AND KNOW THAT HIS WORD HIS POWERFUL AND EVERLASTING HEALING WORD. I HAVE TO SAY THIS PUBLICALLY NOW TO RELEASE THIS ANGER OF MY EXPERIENCE WITH A MOVIE ME AND MY FIANCE WERE WATCHING TILL I SAW WHAT I SAW AND THREW IT OUT. I JUST WISH YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE THAT THIS DOES SPRITUALLY TO YOUR SOUL. LUSTING AND WATCHING HEARING AND TALKING VULGAR IS SINFUL. God does not like this. Men WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE THE BIGGEST TEST OF ALL AND THAT IS TO RESPECT YOURSELF AND WIFE OR PARTNER BY NOT FALLING IN THE GAME THAT THE DEVIL IS TRYING WIN BY PLANTING THIS IMAGE IN THE MINDS IN SOCIETY TODAY. I WISH MEN COULD BE PURE MINDED AND RESPECT WIVES AND NOT HURT THEM BY DOING THIS. THAT WHY I SAY THAT WHERE ARE THE BIBLICAL MEN AND WOMEN OF TODAY? I WANT TO GET BACK MYSELF AND BECOME PURE AGAIN IN MY MIND BODY AND SOUL. MEN LUSTING AFTER ANOTHER WOMAN IS ALREADY COMMINTING THE SIN. “For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery…” Mark 7:21

Answer #9

Even though the ancient hebrews accepted certain things it does not mean that It is the principle of christianity. while it is true that the hebrew nation commited many sins, they were constantly called to repentance and punished by God.

As a christian we are only to follow the principles that God has laid down to us.
