→Toward avoiding double standards: prior to Exodos & Deutornomy
: That article says, "In the Old Testament, 'adultery' properly referred to a married or betrothed woman having sexual intercourse with someone other than her husband. The Greek, Roman, and Hebrew concept of adultery was substantially the same. The infidelity of the husband did not constitute adultery." It also mentions that the NT reiterates the OT commandment against adultery in Mark 10:19 and Romans 13:9. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 20:59, 22 April 2007 (EDT)

:It's not certain anything "changed" in the New Testament; adultry was always considered wrong and evil, even ''prior'' to Moses and the Ten Commandments. Genesis 39:7-9 (prior to Exodos & Deutornomy) states,
::7...his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife...9... thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

The article says that adultery is punishable under "modern law". Is this the case throughout the US anymore? [[User:DanH|DanH]] 21:03, 22 April 2007 (EDT)
