FREE ESSAY ON ADULTERY

ADULTERY

Adultery is stated 69 times in the bible. It is 
also the seventh commandment. Thou shalt not commit 
adultery. In every case stated in the bible, the answer 
is clear: Do not commit adultery. It is a very 
powerful thing that disconnects people in a relationship, 
either married or not. The dictionary definition of 
adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse of a married 
man with a women other than his wife or of a married 
women with a man other than her husband.
In this particular dictionary it speaks about 
definitely being married, but in the bible, it often did 
not. In a book called Sexual Abstinence, by 
Barbara Moe, it also mentioned the theme adultery. 
It stated that although it is not confirmed because you 
aren't married, you can still commit adultery as a 
teenager. It also said that adultery is too much of a 
big, scary word for teenagers to handle. So, now a 
days, we call it cheating. Cheating is defined as a 
trick or deceit. When you are in a relationship that you 
hope is going well, do you want the other person to be 
tricking you?! I sure don't. 
Neither does God. That's why it was stated in 
the bible so many times. It was so important to God, 
that he made it our seventh commandment. He doesn't 
want anyone to be deceived by another person. It is all 
covered in the general law Love one another. You 
don't truly love someone if you want to cheat on them. 
In The Teen Study Bible, it states God 
invented sex. He designed the hormones that trigger 
your desires. He designed every nerve ending that 
magnifies pleasure. Sex isn't wrong. Sex is good. A 
gift from God, who loves you. Now only if you 
would use it right. Sex is always made out to be a 
bad thing. In our culture it is perfectly ok. Although 
God says to you in your conscience Are you sure 
you want to do this?! He states is it so much in the 
bible, if only people would look. 
Sex should be used with the right person, in the 
right place, at the right time (in the right uniform hehe). 
Not with multiple people, or just because you feel like 
it. You are giving away a precious gift God himself 
has given you.
If you ever think about cheating or Committing 
adultery, think of the other person involved in the 
situation. There is two parts to every situation , no 
matter what kinda it is. But, it is a very tough thing. 
To be the person doing it, and wondering if you'll get 
caught. But most of all it is tough for the person who 
gets cheated on... then the person starts questioning 
them self. A lot of psychiatric problems happen after 
these kinds of situations. And, it all could've stopped 
if you just picked up one solitary book, and read for a 
few seconds.
The choice is yours to make, but remember so are 
the consequences.
