K.Glen Smith responded:
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.



Me:
Both of your posts were very intriguing and informative as I have not studied
this topic thoroughly, myself. However, with the differentiation between 
fornication and adultery here, I feal compelled to set forth the meanings of
these words in the Greek as used in Matt. 5:32 in order to go on in this 
with everybody informed. 

fornication(matt 5:32)-porneia:harlotry(including adultery and incest);fig.-idolatry
                                fornication.-from porneuo:to act the harlot, i.e.(literally)
                                indulge unlawful lust(of either sex),or (figuratively) 
                                practise idolatry:-commit(fornication).-from porne: a
                                strumpet; fig. and idolater:-harlot, whore.-fem. of
                                pornos:from pernemi:to sell; a (male) prostitute(as venal)
                                i.e. (by anal.) a debauchee(libertine):-fornicator,
                                whoremonger.

adultery(matt 5:32)-moichao:(mid.) to commit adultery:-commit adultery. from
                            moichos:perhaps a primary word: a(male) paramour; fig.
                            apostate:-adulterer.

Let us also remeber that though not a license to sin, even the sins of adultery
caused by divorce can be washed in the blood. There is only one unpardonable
sin. I know you all probably already know this stuff but I felt a need to kind of
throw it out there.


Love in Christ,
Bro, Daniel Westbrook
