Matthew 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.
Luke 16:18 (KJV)
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Matthew 5:31-32 (KJV)
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
YES, you heard me right, when you have heard error for a long time, and suddenly the gospel light begin to shine on the truth, it takes time for your brain to assimilate it.
Meditate on matthew 19:9, and i quote: Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another committeth adultery.
That simply means this woman in question is already married, but went and have sex with a man who is not her rightful husband, if the husband finds out, he has the right to divorce her. The bible calls that fornication, even though she is already married.
What is fornication? is a sex act between two people who are not leagally married, and not the other way round that people teaches, that fornication is a sex act between singles, NO.
What is Adultery? If a man put away his wife, or divorces his wife, other than the cause of fornication has committet adultery, and whoever marries that woman has also committed adultery.
In other word, you can say that Adultery is an illegal divorced, if the cause of divorce or putting away is not of the ground of fornication, then is Adultery.
In the commandment of God Exodus 20:14 (KJV) Thou shalt not commit adultery.
In Deuteronomy 5:18 (KJV) Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
Adultery as mention here is for married couple, because in the old testament is not allow for a man to leave with a woman when there are not yet married.
Matthew 19:5-8 (KJV)
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.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
From these verse above you might understand it better.
Fornication came after Jesus time, during the days of the Apostles.
FINALLY
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (KJV)
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
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.
If you are a christian be it married or not married, your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, ye are not your own, all of us are bought with a price.
Paul said we should flee fornication, because we are the temple of God.
