" adulterers do not proclaim their right to commit adultery" Isn't that because the church doesn't kick out adulterers, so why should they demand that it not be brought up as an issue , in other words isn't adultery already accepted but in silent, like dont ask dont tell sort of thing ? I dont know , not trying to defend either sin, but this whole subject seems hypocritical, how to we justify?

The adulterers are (rightly) ashamed of their actions.

They don't get up before the congregation and "celebrate" their adultery.

They don't have organizations or clubs within the church seeking to normalize adultery.

They don't demand that other people approve of their adultery.

Note that the church does not "kick out" homosexuals who don't do all these things.

are homosexuals kicked out of the church? Is there a movement afoot to have adultery accepted as an alternative lifestyle that is in keeping with what God has ordained? Is there a group of people trying to push an interpretation of the Bible that says adultery isn't a sin, and, therefore, need not be repented? I'm not seeing the parallels.
