>>>Respectfully, Bro. Litteral, adultery and fornication are two
different things. Jesus is referring to Deuteronomy 22:13,14. If on
your wedding night you find out your spouse is a fornicator, then you
can end the marriage right there and remarry. However, after you're
married and your spouse commits adultry, you *do not* have the right to
remarry. Adultery and fornication are two different things. They
are mentioned as separate things in the bible. You can't plug
adultery into Matthew 5:32. It says fornication.<<<
In it's biblical form, fornication usually refers to all types of sexual sin
(including but not limited to adultry) and not only sex before marriage.
Homosexuality, adultry, bestiality, unmarrital sex, etc. may all be
appropriately referred to as fornication.
God speed,
