~”Sex with multiple women IS adultery. It doesn’t matter if it is legal or state law.”~

Abraham the adulterer? He’s not the only holy man we can turn to as an example. Interesting that you dismiss the validity of the patriarchs.

Do not impose your view of morality on God. They may be similar, but our understanding as humans is not always complete.

tanti,

I’m sorry to tell you this, but yes Abraham WAS an adulterer. Hagar was his wife’s handmaiden and NOT his wife. That IS the very definition of adultery.

You are presumptuous. You cannot read my heart and determine when and where I fall short of God’s example, tantiboth. You can not see as He does.

I find it is much easier to follow simply what Jesus taught.

“Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: / But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
