Adultery - You who say that people should not commit
adultery, do you commit adultery? (Romans 2:22)
Numerous examples can be found in both the Old and New Testament of Jews who were guilty of both
physical
adultery
(violating the marriage covenant) as well as spiritual adultery (worshipping other
gods):
Psalm 50:18 - When you see a thief, you join
with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers.
Jeremiah 5:7-9 - "Why should I forgive you? Your
children have forsaken me and sworn by gods that are not gods. I supplied all
their needs, yet they committed adultery and thronged to the houses of prostitutes. They are well-fed,
lusty stallions, each neighing for another man's wife. Should I not punish them
for this?" declares the LORD. "Should I not avenge myself on such a
nation as this?
Mark
