Exodus 20:14
"You shall not commit adultery.

-And in the Old Testament the penalty was death! Of course today, we are under God's grace so we arent put to death, but it is still a sin against God- which someday you will be judged for:
Leviticus 20:10
" 'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

Deuteronomy 5:18
"You shall not commit adultery.

Matthew 5:27
[ Adultery ] "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'

Matthew 5:28
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Matthew 5:32
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 15:19
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

Matthew 19:9
I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."

Matthew 19:19
Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.' "

There are many more than this....It is very clear that adultery is wrong in the eyes of God.

Oh its in there everywhere, I will give you some scriptures, BUT If adultery was an excuse for divorce, then, that would be like giving people a reason to committ adultery, the Bible says the only way one can remarry,after divorce, is fornication, and that is sex before your married, so if you told your spouse to be, you were a virgin, and wasen`t, then he has grounds for divorce and remarriage..heres the scriptures.Exodus 20:14...Proverbs7:6-23...Jeremiah3:9..Matthew 5:27-28.Matthew 19:9

"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is the light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Can a man take fire in his bosoms, and his feet not be burned? So he that goeth into his neighbor's wife;whosever toucheth her shall not be innocent. Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry. But whosoever committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that dueth it destroys his own soul. A wound and dishonour he shall get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away. For jealously is the rage of man, therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance." proverbs 6,7 King James

I'm not going to go into the whole my Quran vs. Bible thing. These words should speak for themselves.

The Book says a man and woman coming together is a
GREAT MYSTERY!
Sex is not just a physical act. It is a spiritual act as well.
We are helping our Creator to create LIFE!
Sex creates very real spiritual energies, and a spiritual bond.
When this is corrupted. It creates things we little understand.
But will have to be atoned for at a later time.

Which is the oldest bible in existence? Is that the version you follow, or do you prefer a more recently doctored version?

ANSWER:

Hi, Definetly NOT. May be some sort of CORRUPT translation in the form of different language. This is due to the handy work of Satan/Jinn/Devil and also human nature to follow their own desires rather than following the simple message of all the prophets that is to believe in ONLY ONE GOD in order to achieve the PURPOSE OF LIFE.
Man or science and technology in their own limitations can’t answer this things/believes/struggle. Only thing left for the mankind is to find out from the ONLY ONE CREATOR that created everything that exists.
The thing is people don’t know what to follow. They follow something that haven’t said by prophets including Jesus (peace be upon him PBUH) himself. The solution to this is to do a research and find out the AUTHENCITY of the source or the books. It is not at all difficult in today’s world.

In Short: The ONLY PURE ORIGINAL WORD OF GOD is left on the phase of the planet is the HOLY QURAN that came with the prophet 1400 years ago without any SINGLE LETTER corrupted, that Guides, Faith with Proof, shows way of life, tells in details the mission of prophets including Jesus (peace be upon him PBUH), gives answers to all questions, solutions and tells much in details of what will be going to happen (past, present and future) and the purpose of existence, etc. The WORD OF GOD came with the SAME MESSAGE through prophets (from first prophet Adam to last prophet Mohammad (PBU them all) including Jesus (PBUH) and only person to interpret is the prophet of GOD at that time. Unlike HOLY QURAN all the other Books are corrupted and are not in the PURE ORIGINAL WORD OF GOD that’s is due to the handy work of Satan/Jinn/Devil and also human nature to follow their own desires rather than following the simple message of all the prophets that is to believe in ONLY ONE GOD in order to achieve the PURPOSE OF LIFE. In Muslim world there are many books available today in different languages of the ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION of the HOLY QURAN by the prophet of GOD about 1400 years ago that is the only interpretation that has to be follow to be the true follower of the prophet as commanded by GOD and the ONLY WAY to SUCCESS that is both in this WORLD and ETERNAL PARADISE.
