Heading Towards Hell

A website for adulterers

Does anyone still remember the 10 Commandments? And of those who do, how many of them can you name? For example, what does the seventh commandment say?

It says this: "You shall not commit adultery." (Exodus 20:14) Adultery is such an egregious sin in God's eyes that he condemned it and warned His creation never to engage in that detestable practice. What is adultery? It's when a married man or woman cheats on their spouse by having sex with someone they aren't married to. 

Why is that so detestable to God? Because it's a statement of unfaithfulness and a violation of one's marital vows. According the terms of the Mosaic Covenant, those who were caught and proven guilty of the sin of adultery paid the ultimate price: "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death." (Leviticus 20:10)

There are those who'll claim that the adultery law only applied to the Jews and to no one else. But that's a fallacious argument because the Law that God revealed to Moses applies to everyone. Certainly, God commanded the ancient Israelites to apply the death penalty to those who were convicted of adultery. But even though we aren't under the Mosaic Law, we're all under God's transcendent moral laws that condemn such sins as adultery.

That's a point the apostle Paul made in his first epistle to the early church in Corinth when he wrote this: "Do you not know that evildoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) Though the Corinthians weren't Jews, Paul informed them that they were still under God's law. 

And so, what happens to those who commit adultery? Unless they repent of that sin and never commit adultery again, they'll be condemned to hell once their life ends. And it matters not whether a person claimed to be God-fearing and church-going. It matters not whether they claimed to believe in Jesus Christ. If they were adulterers and adulteresses, they will go immediately to hell when they die.

Tragically, we're living in a godless, depraved time when sin is celebrated as virtue. There's even a loathsome website (Ashleymadison.com) that encourages married folks to cheat on their spouses. Though I'm extremely reluctant to give this site any publicity, I have to mention it just for the shock value that it elicits in those who still fear God and follow his commands. 

Here's some of the advertising you'll find on this detestable site: Ashley Madison is the most famous name in infidelity and married dating.

Married Dating. Is that what they call it? Rather, it's called adultery and it will condemn your soul to eternal damnation. Sadly, there are many professing Christians today who aren't bothered by such trash. And that speaks volumes about their so-called faith.

Such depravity that's occurring in the time we're living in isn't an anomaly. It's prophetic and it's what happens when people turn away from God. Nearly 2,000 years ago, Paul wrote this: "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people." (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Indeed, have nothing to do with those who mock God and defecate on His laws. Certainly, pray for them to repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ into their lives as their Lord and Savior. And certainly, try to warn them. 

But if they refuse to listen, then treat them as lepers and get away from them. Because if you don't, you may end up like them. And you may end up going to the same place they're going.
