What Is Adultery Pt#1

In our world today there are various definitions of adultery depending upon different peoples world views. One of the most common worldviews that seems to be held is that adultery is cheating. That adultery is committed by those who are married when they do something outside of their marriage, with opposite sex. I don't think many would disagree with this definition, however I believe the scriptures make this issue plain, that adultery can be committed in numerous ways, all with the same basic effects. 

Adultery is a sin and it is among the hardest sins to repent of. Why is it so hard to repent of?  Because when we get a spirit of justification and pride involved which then causes us to commit that sin we tend to keep doing it. We tend to justify ourselves in doing it. We tend to tell ourselves that we are not committing that sin and deny that we have any wrongdoing. Once someone goes down a path where they know that they're doing wrong, but they justify themselves anyway they become numb to that still small voice. 

In my view in its simplest form adultery constitutes any form of sexual impurity. We will discuss these various forms and break them down so that we can have a better grasp on what it is and how to avoid committing it.
