    You are not serious about stoning adulters and you dont sacrifice animals at the temple, so where are you going with this and does it have anything to do with the OP?

    The Bible was and is serious about both.

    I am serious about the Word of God, as I pray that you are as well, so where were you expecting the OP to go?

    Before I answer. To be clear. You are seriously advocating the stoning to death of adulters.

    I am serious. I am looking for consistancy on the sanctity of marraige argument that I myself use against gay marraige. Does that sanctity apply to regular marraige.

    They do...it's called alimony.

    Oh, you mean criminal, as in jail time criminal?

    My opinion is, if you are going to cheat on someone, you should at least have the decency to divorce them first. I detest divorce, but someone who secretly cheats on their spouse while they are still married is doubly detestable, imo.

    At least a person who divorces first is honest about the lack of love. A cheater who is married shows a complete lack of love, character, and respect for their spouse.

    After telling me about a mutual friend who found his wife cheating on him, a friend of mine, a preacher (as was the one who was cheated on), stated to me, "Why can't people just live right?" Is it really so hard to not cheat on someone you once claimed to love?

    I guess I forgot to really answer the question.

    I think the person who was cheated on ought to be able to give the cheater 10 lashes, at least.

    Of course, that will never float in this country.

    Other than that act, as a little retribution and therapy for the cheated, I think money is the best way to deal with cheaters. Hit them where it hurts.

    Chill out, man. Can't you read a joke when you see one ?
    I'm not a very prolific user of those yellow, round, smilin', wavin' faces.
    Seriously and secularly speaking, adultery is a personal crime, first, and a civil crime, second.
    God takes it seriously and demonstrates it by commanding the offenders be stoned to death.
    We ought to take our cue from that.
    Put the cheatin' heart in jail, not a psychiatrist's couch.
    Unless the offended party forgives.
    But then the cheater has to contend with the state next.
    But I guess that's no problem, most states will probably give the offender a slap on the wrist.

    Fines can be criminal punishment. What I mean by criminal is that the state prosicutes. As opposed to civil when the wronged party looks for monitary compinsation.

    I never considered alimony a punishment. Alimony is suposto be so the other spouce can maintain the life style they have been in. Say that wife that made it possable for the husband to go to law school. She would get $$ for her part of the sacrifice.

    But it does not work for punishment. Say that the Husband is the bread winner and will pay alimony in the divorce to compinsate the wife for her keeping house and children while he went to law school. But the divorce is caused becasue SHE cheated.

    I believe that adultery should be punished.

    I had an idea.

    The state uses tax breaks to encourage marraige, because marraige is considered good for sociaty. So why not when a couple get divorced they be required to pay back all past tax breaks. The fine would be the same $$ amount that they saved over the years by paying taxes jointly.

    If the divorcing couple is divorcing out of dissagreements that go both ways then they split the bill. IF the divorce is caused by one of them because of adultry then that person has the full tax bill.

    In my opinion, the cheater shouldn't get a single, solitary dime.

    By cheating, the cheater breaks the marriage covenant (contract) and is therefore entitled to nothing from the marriage.

    Of course, that ain't the way it works, but it ought to be.

    My brother's wife cheated on him, and actually got pregnant from the other guy, yet my brother gave her everything just so his son wouldn't have to endure any trauma or have to move from his home. In my opinion, he shouldn't have done it that way. He has nothing to show from the marriage, except his son and a broken heart, and she has been vindictive and using my nephew as leverage against him. He sees his son every couple of weeks, when his ex-wife gets tired of him.
