Fornication And Adultery In Previous Scriptures
Previous scriptures also forbid adultery and fornication, for example: You shall not commit adultery. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20:14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife and defile yourself with her. ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭18:20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Orthodox Jews and Christians still consider adultery and fornication to be impermissible. However, the reason why collectively certain societies have become more lenient towards it is because they place a disproportionate value on the concept of freedom of choice.
