This document discusses the sin of adultery and sexual immorality. It defines adultery and identifies four types: physical, mental, legal, and spiritual. It notes adultery destroys homes and societies, sins against the body and soul, and is a sin against God. While forgiveness is possible through repentance, adultery has severe consequences. The overall message is that sexual immorality violates clear biblical commands and is wrong.
Just because something is legal, does not mean it is right for a Christian. Many Christians have accepted Satan's lie that if it is legal, it is right for Christians.
