I am a widow. I see a mrried man. He is an adultere, I am NOT.
In the Flesh, the Bible denotes the difference between the two as follows:
Adultery => Illicit Sexual relationship by a Married or Previously Married (divorced) person.
(The marital status of the offending partner is irrelevant)
Fornication => Illicit Sexual relationship by an Unmarried and Never-Been-Married person.
(The marital status of the offending partner is irrelevant)
The bible was written by men. This justified them seeing a formerly married woman without it being a sin. (Example, marry your brother's wife if your brother dies.) If he was involved with the neighbor's never married daugther- problem. Seems clear to me.

There is no difference. You are an adulterer too because you are having sex with someone's husband. Adultery is a form of fornication.
Adultery is not the "ultimate sin". There are not degrees of sin. Premarital sex is just as bad as "adultery" because you are potentially having sex with someone else spouse. Just because some people justify in their mind that premarital sex is ok, that does not make it ok.
God made sex for marriage only.

Go ahead and wear a scarlet letter.
Justifying your sin, denying your sin and twisting the Lord's word is not going to change the fact that you are a homewrecker, being the mistress of a married man.
If you are SOO religious, you shouln't be doing this. You know that this is WRONG, if you are so PROUD of your choice, go ahead an annouce it in CHURCH that you are screwing a married man.
SHAME ON YOU!

Conscience- Con meaning With, Science meaning knowledge.
We all have one....please use yours!
God gave us a conscience to tell even the most primitive of humans what is right and what is wrong.
Even the native that lives in the jungle, that has never been taught the Gospel, knows right from wrong. They know if they murder their brother, that it is wrong. They know that if they steal from one another, it is wrong. They know this because of the ALARM system that is built inside of them.
You my friend obviously live in a Civilized nation that allows you access to ALL of the RULES, and yet you refuse to listen to your conscience.
Hmmmmm, sounds like rebellion to me.

Seems like another lost soul looking for loopholes to me.......by the way, you already asked a similar question and since you didn't like the answers, you are re-asking the question in different words. Not very smart.
By the way, quit using the bible for your stupid bullshit life choices....the devil uses the bible against us too...so I guess you two have something in common.

Doesn't matter... you have the conscience to know that the other party is married. Therefore you are an accessory to adultery.

I read the question you posted before and I must say that you are searching for validation and you know you are wrong. I will say here what I said before. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Why are you so concerned with it? Just live your life the way YOU feel is right. Who cares?
