Definition
An adulterer is someone who commits adultery,
someone who has an extramarital affair. (Also called
a Libertine Cuckolded, bed hopper, and spouse
swapper.) This person is acting immorally and out of
the bounds of marriage and indulges in immoral
sexual conduct.
Bible Statement
Adultery is a violation of the marriage contract
through sexual intercourse with a third party. This
sin is addressed by the wrath of God. While we are
still present here on earth we will suffer the
consequences. Sexual immorality is the only reason
that God will allow divorce.

shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

from blood.
Revelation 21:7-8 "He who has withstood the on slot

their part in the lake that burns with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death."

by My name,' 18 Says the Lord, who makes things

that we do not trouble those who are turning to God
from among the Gentiles, 20 but that we write to
them that they refrain from things contaminated by
idols and from fornication and from what is
strangled and from blood.

twilight, thinking one will not see him. And they
find a hiding place so their piers will not find
them out.
Malachi 2:16-17 the Lord, the God of Israel, says he
hates divorce and unkind people. Therefore, control
your intense emotions let there be no divorcing of
your spouses. You have tried the patients of the
Lord with your words. We have been exhausting to Him
we ask in fake surprise. By saying that evil is
good, that it pleases the Lord! Or by saying that
God won't punish us-- He doesn't really care.
Matt 19:3-6 a few Pharisees came to Him, testing
Him, and saying, "Is it lawful to divorce a spouse
for any reason at all? 4 He answered in addition,
Have you not read, that He who created mankind from
the beginning made them both male and female, also
for this cause we shall leave our father and mother,
and shall cleave to our spouse they shall become one
flesh. Because of this they are no longer two, but
one flesh. What God has joined together, let no one
divide them?
1st Corinthians 6:15-16 are you not aware that our
bodies are members of the body of Christ? Shall I
then use body parts of Christ and make them members
of a harlot? May it never be? are we not aware that
the one who joins him to a harlot is one body. For
He says, the two will become one flesh.

not carousing and intoxicated, not in sexual
promiscuity and sensuality, not in bitter conflict
or rivalry and jealousy.

will pour into your lap. For by your standard of
measure it will be measured to you in return.
1st Thessalonians 4:3 for this is the will of God,
your sanctification; that you abstain from sexual
immorality.
Comment
We can note throughout God’s love letters to us that
should we sin in this particular way we sadden God.
Marriage is a bond that God has created. Sex is part
of what God has created for us. If we violate the
marriage bed we can expect to pay the consequences
for our actions. The consequences are so wide spread
that it would be next to impossible to cover in this
short of an article. Some are premature death,
destruction of the mind of family members, disease,
physical blindness, Loss of a belief system, mental
illness of some of the family members and on and on
the list goes.
When the separation takes place one of the married
partners may not have the same ability to provide
for the children or even them self. The destruction
of the marriage union is far reaching to children
and family.

It is the children that will carry most of the scars
for years to come. They often think that they are
not loved and or the split up is because of them.
This stigma is something that may last for their
entire life. The children should be taken aside to a
private place where they can ask questions and they
should be encouraged to do so. It may be impossible
for them to think clear enough at this time because
of the impact of the new discovery of the pending
divorce. Their age is a factor too; if they are
young then they do not even know what to ask. A
child can see that their parents love each other, if
so that is what gives them security. A child is the
product of the parents they reflect what they see
and hear.
