What does the Bible now really say about
prostitutes, adulterers, fornicators?
(John 8:3 KJV) And the scribes and
Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set
her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in
adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that
such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?6 This they said,
tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down,
and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said
unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at
her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they
which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by
one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone,
and the woman standing in the midst.10 When Jesus had lifted up
himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are
those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?11 She said, No man, Lord.
And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no
more.
Most people who quote
this passage leave out the last part, WHERE Jesus himself confirmed HER
adultery was a sin, and he also said "Sin no more!"
(John 5:14 KJV) Afterward Jesus findeth
him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no
more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
and what can be worse than being stoned even to
death? (Mat 10:28 KJV) And fear not them which kill the body,
but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell.
OUR POP CULTURE TODAY LIES AND SAYS
ANY SEX GOES.. Now let's STILL consider briefly the Bible question of
fornication, or pre-marital sex, AND sex outside of marriage. Clearly
according to the Bible as you can see below fornication and sex outside of
marriage are a sin against God. Sin is transgression of the law of God (I
John 3:4).
"Flee fornication. Every sin that
a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth
against his own body" I Corinthians 6:18.
(1 Sam 2:22 KJV) Now Eli was very old,
and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the
women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I
hear of your evil dealings by all this people. 24 Nay, my sons; for it
is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to transgress.
25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge
him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for
him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their
father, because the LORD would slay them.
(1 Sam 2:27 KJV) And there came a man of
God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear
unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my
priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before
me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by
fire of the children of Israel? 29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice
and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest
thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the
offerings of Israel my people? 30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel
saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should
walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them
that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly
esteemed. 31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and
the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine
house. 32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the
wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in
thine house for ever. 33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut
off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine
heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their
age. 34 And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy
two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according
to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure
house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever. 36 And it
shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come
and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall
say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a
piece of bread.
(1 Sam 4:11 KJV) And the ark of God was
taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. 12
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same
day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head. 13 And when
he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart
trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told
it, all the city cried out. 14 And when Eli heard the noise of the
crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in
hastily, and told Eli. 15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and
his eyes were dim, that he could not see. 16 And the man said unto
Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army.
And he said, What is there done, my son? 17 And the messenger answered
and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a
great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and
Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken. 18 And it came to
pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat
backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he
was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. 19
And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be
delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and
that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and
travailed; for her pains came upon her. 20 And about the time of her
death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast
borne a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it. 21 And
she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel:
because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her
husband. 22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the
ark of God is taken.
(Rev 2:20 KJV) Notwithstanding I have a
few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which
calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit
fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave
her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her
into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I
will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am
he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of
you according to your works.
(Rev 17:1 KJV) And there came one of the
seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me,
Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that
sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth
have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made
drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the
spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured
beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold
and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her
forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken
with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
(Rev 19:2
KJV) For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the
great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath
avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
(1 Cor 6:12 KJV) All things are lawful
unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but
I will not be brought under the power of any.13 Meats for the belly,
and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now
the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the
body. 14 And God hath both raised up the
Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.15 Know ye not that
your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of
Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What?
know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith
he, shall be one flesh.17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one
spirit.19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?20 For ye are
bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's.
(1 Cor 7:1 KJV) Now concerning the things
whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own
wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 Let the
husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife
unto the husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the
husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but
the wife. 5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a
time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together
again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
Jesus and the apostles
also have made it clear that a man was to have a wife, a female spouse, and
not another male for a start.
It is
still amazing how people to wrongfully try to justify their false sexual
lusts, can still lie and try to explain away all of these clear
Bible verses on this subject, but that is not surprising for the word of God
is clear even that all men are liars. Male or female sex outside of marriage
is a sin, and marrying a person also does not necessarily make the sexual
act justifiable.. for a start a Christian can only marry another Christian,
specifically the spouse God has chosen for them too, and there is no
provision for divorce of any two male and female
believers.
(Mat 19:4 KJV) And he answered and said
unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made
them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave
father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one
flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
(Mat 19:9 KJV) And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall
marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away
doth commit adultery.
(Heb 13:4 KJV) Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but
whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
(James 1:12
KJV) Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is
tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to
them that love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted
of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust,
and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my
beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from
above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he
us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his
creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift
to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh
not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness
and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted
word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the
word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any
be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his
natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his
way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he
was.
(Heb 13:5 KJV) Let your conversation be
without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he
hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
(Prov 28:26 KJV) He that trusteth in his
own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be
delivered.
(Prov 11:16
KJV) A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain
riches.
(Prov 12:4 KJV) A virtuous woman is a
crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his
bones.
(Prov 11:21 KJV) Though hand join in
hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous
shall be delivered.
(Prov 11:22
KJV) As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which
is without discretion.
(1 Cor
6:9 KJV) Know ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves
with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor
covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God.
(1 John 2:16 KJV) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the
world.17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that
doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(Prov 3:31 KJV) Envy thou not the
oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
(Prov 3:32 KJV) For the froward is
abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
(Prov 3:33 KJV) The curse of the LORD is
in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the
just.
(Prov 3:34 KJV) Surely he scorneth the
scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
(Prov 3:35 KJV) The wise shall inherit
glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
(Prov 5:1 KJV) My son, attend unto my
wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: 2 That thou mayest
regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the
lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than
oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest
thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou
canst not know them. 7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and
depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove thy way far from her,
and come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour
unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled
with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 11 And
thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 12
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear
to them that instructed me! 14 I was almost in all evil in the midst
of the congregation and assembly. 15 Drink waters out of thine own
cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. 16 Let thy
fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. 17
Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. 18 Let thy
fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 19 Let
her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at
all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. 20 And why wilt
thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a
stranger? 21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and
he pondereth all his goings. 22 His own iniquities shall take the
wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. 23
He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall
go astray.
(Prov 6:23 KJV) For the commandment is a
lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue
of a strange woman. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart;
neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26 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. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and
his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet
not be burned? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife;
whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 30 Men do not despise a
thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 31 But if he
be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his
house. 32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh
understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. 33 A wound
and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in
the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will
he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
(Prov 7:6 KJV) For at the window of
my house I looked through my casement, 7 And beheld among the simple
ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to
her house, 9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark
night: 10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an
harlot, and subtle of heart. 11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet
abide not in her house: 12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and
lieth in wait at every corner.) 13 So she caught him, and kissed him,
and with an impudent face said unto him, 14 I have peace offerings
with me; this day have I payed my vows. 15 Therefore came I forth to
meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I
have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine
linen of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and
cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let
us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For the goodman is not at home, he
is gone a long journey: 20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and
will come home at the day appointed. 21 With her much fair speech she
caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or
as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23 Till a dart strike
through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it
is for his life. 24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and
attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thine heart decline to her
ways, go not astray in her paths. 26 For she hath cast down many
wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is
the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
(Prov 31:10 KJV) Who can find a virtuous
woman? for her price is far above rubies.11 The heart of her husband
doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of
spoil.
(Deu 11:16 KJV) Take heed to yourselves,
that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods,
and worship them;
(2 Tim 3:13 KJV) But evil men and seducers shall
wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
(Job 15:31 KJV) Let not him that is deceived
trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
(Prov 2:10 KJV) When wisdom entereth into thine
heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall
preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from
the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; 13
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the
wicked; 15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger
which flattereth with her words; 17 Which forsaketh the guide of her
youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. 18 For her house
inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 19 None that go
unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. 20
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the
righteous. 21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect
shall remain in it. 22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth,
and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
(Job 31:9 KJV) If mine heart have been deceived
by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; 10 Then let
my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 11 For
this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the
judges. 12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would
root out all mine increase.
(Jer 49:16 KJV) Thy terribleness hath deceived
thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of
the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make
thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the
LORD.
(Gal 6:7 KJV) Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
(Gal 6:8 KJV) For he that soweth to his
flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
(Gal 6:9 KJV) And let us not be weary in
well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
(Gal 6:10 KJV) As we have therefore
opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of
the household of faith.
(Rev 19:1 KJV) And after these things I
heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation,
and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true
and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which
did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of
his servants at her hand.
(Rev 20:10 KJV) And the devil that
deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast
and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and
ever.
for
(Lev 18:6 KJV) None of you shall approach
to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the
LORD. 7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother,
shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her
nakedness. 8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not
uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. 9 The nakedness of thy sister,
the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born
at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter,
even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own
nakedness. 11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten
of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is
thy father's near kinswoman. 13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness
of thy mother's sister; for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. 14
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not
approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. 15 Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not
uncover her nakedness. 16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness. 17 Thou shalt not
uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take
her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness;
for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 18 Neither shalt
thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside
the other in her life time.
(Lev 18:20 KJV) Moreover thou shalt not
lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with
her.
(Lev 18:22 KJV) Thou shalt not lie with
mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
(Lev 18:23 KJV) Neither shalt thou lie
with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand
before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
(Lev 20:12 KJV) And if a man lie with his
daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have
wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
(Lev 20:13 KJV) If a man also lie with
mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an
abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon
them.
(Lev 20:14 KJV) And if a man take a wife
and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and
they; that there be no wickedness among you.
(Lev 20:15 KJV) And if a man lie with a
beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the
beast.
(Lev 20:16 KJV) And if a woman approach
unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the
beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon
them.
(Lev 20:17 KJV) And if a man shall take
his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her
nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall
be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's
nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
(Lev 20:19 KJV) And thou shalt not
uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister:
for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
(Lev 20:20 KJV) And if a man shall lie
with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall
bear their sin; they shall die childless.
(Lev 20:21 KJV) And if a man shall take
his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's
nakedness; they shall be childless.
(Deu 22:23 KJV) If a damsel that is a
virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie
with her; 24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that
city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because
she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his
neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
(Deu 22:25 KJV) But if a man find a
betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then
the man only that lay with her shall die: 26 But unto the damsel thou
shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when
a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there
was none to save her.
(Deu 22:30 KJV) A man shall not take his
father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
(2 Sam 13:6 KJV) So Amnon lay down, and
made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto
the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of
cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand. 7 Then David sent home
to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down.
And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did
bake the cakes. 9 And she took a pan, and poured them out before him;
but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they
went out every man from him. 10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the
meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the
cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her
brother. 11 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took
hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister. 12 And
she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought
to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly. 13 And I, whither shall
I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools
in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not
withhold me from thee. 14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice:
but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. 15 Then
Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was
greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her,
Arise, be gone. 16 And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil
in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he
would not hearken unto her. 17 Then he called his servant that
ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the
door after her. 18 And she had a garment of divers colours upon her:
for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled.
Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. 19
And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that
was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
(Gen 39:1 KJV) And Joseph was brought
down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an
Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him
down thither. 2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous
man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his
master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he
did to prosper in his hand. 4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and
he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had
he put into his hand. 5 And it came to pass from the time that he had
made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD
blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD
was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 6 And he left
all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the
bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast
her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 8 But he refused, and
said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me
in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9
There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any
thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do
this great wickedness, and sin against God? 10 And it came to pass, as
she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by
her, or to be with her. 11 And it came to pass about this time, that
Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men
of the house there within. 12 And she caught him by his garment,
saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got
him out. 13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his
garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14 That she called unto the
men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an
Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried
with a loud voice: 15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted
up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got
him out. 16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came
home. 17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The
Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he
left his garment with me, and fled out. 19 And it came to pass, when
his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying,
After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place
where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him
favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of
the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the
prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23 The
keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand;
because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to
prosper.
(Eccl 12:13 KJV) Let us hear the
conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for
this is the whole duty of man.
(Eccl 12:14 KJV) For God shall bring
every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or
whether it be evil.
(Prov 14:1 KJV) Every wise woman buildeth
her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
(Prov 9:12 KJV) If thou be wise,
thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear
it. 13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is
simple, and knoweth nothing. 14 For she sitteth at the door of her
house, on a seat in the high places of the city, 15 To call passengers
who go right on their ways: 16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in
hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are
in the depths of hell.
(Prov 11:31
KJV) Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much
more the wicked and the sinner.

walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a
fool.

be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be
visited with evil.
(Prov 28:9 KJV) He that turneth away his
ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
(Prov 28:10 KJV) Whoso causeth the
righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own
pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
(Prov 29:1 KJV) He, that being often
reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without
remedy.

How God punished Kind David and even his subjects for his adulterous
sin with Bathsheba.. nevertheless King David repented of this
sin.
(PsaLM 51:1 KJV) To the chief Musician, A
Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in
to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse
me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is
ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done
this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,
and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in
the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be
whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones
which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and
blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy
presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the
joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will
I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation:
and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open
thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. 16 For thou
desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt
offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good
pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt
thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering
and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine
altar.
(1 Cor 5:9 KJV) I wrote unto you in an
epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with
the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or
with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now
I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a
brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a
drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For
what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them
that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore
put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
*** Do You now personally KNOW Jesus Christ as
your personal Lord and Savior before it is too late to do so as
well? "Behold now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of
salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2 Ask God now to save you personally
by Jesus Christ's death alone now.. not by anything else. (Heb 9:27
KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment:
(Rev 3:17 KJV) Because thou sayest,
I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest
not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the
fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be
clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine
eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
