→Toward avoiding double standards
: What exactly is the info to be incorporated? The article already addresses OT and NT law on adultery. Is something incorrect? 50something cited the Catholic Encyclopedia [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01163a.htm], but that article confirms that in the Ten Commandments, "adultery meant only the carnal intercourse of a wife with a man who was not her lawful husband. The intercourse of a married man with a single woman was not accounted adultery". The Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary apparently says the same thing. I realize that some people are ideologically opposed to "double standards", but it is important to explain accurately just what was forbidden by the Ten Commandments.

::Are you sure about that, Roger? I hold the HIBD in my hand, and as I read it, adultery means any illicit activity if ''either partner'' is currently married to someone else.
::Besides: who said anything about ''not'' explaining what was commonly meant in the OT? All I'm saying is that the term ''adultery'' is fairly broad and has more than one meaning.
::As an example of what I mean, and what I suggest, I recommend my articles on [[sin]] and [[Sin (Fundamentalism)]]. As you can see, I discuss the concept "sin" in the Biblical sense and in the broader philosophical context.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 19:57, 22 April 2007 (EDT)
