Um, Matthew 19:9 doesn’t say that:

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.

It actually says you CAN fornicate with another, you just can’t marry a woman whilst married to someone else. Mind, I recall there are passages that discommend fornication in the first place, but Matthew 19:9 isn’t one of them. Matthew 19:9 seems to permit concubines.

What? Once you become sexual impure, duh, fornicate/commit adultery your are dead if you don't repent and quit your behavior. A very consistent command btw.

Read more into what Christ stipulated. Not only could you NOT have a fling (Fornicate/Adultery used as a excuse for divorce), you could not even divorce your spouse and take another wife/husband, talk about strict.

Can you not comprehend? Are you even a Christian? If not I can understand your ignorance. Mathew 19 emphasizes that sexual strictness straight from Christ's mouth. Should I correlate this with Christ's other commands against fornication, hence, blowing another argument out of the water, for instance Matthew 15: 16-19/heart/sexual immorality/defiled yourself? Jeez lol.
