The Bible: Adultery

Vangelis · 2006-01-16 19:30:37

How is adultery defined in the Bible? I've seen the world used in contexts not referring to sexual immorale. It's a bit confusing.

Adultery is defined as sex outside of marriage. It may be metaphorically used to indicate idolatry.

'Coverting your neighbours wife '
pretty much damns you for thinking about it never mind doing it.

Yep. 'Tis a harsh saying.

Thankfully we are not redeemed by our observance of the Law and so it need not be damning at all. Yay!
