Are sins all the same?

[Dos Equis]

So is it dangerous when married couples have sex?

Nah.  I didn't say the sex act would be dangerous, just that sex between consenting adults, if one or both are married, harms the individuals involved and eventually others.  There is likely guilt, fear of disclosure, possible divorce, children (if any) could suffer.

And depending on where you live, you might have to write a check  :

Be Careful What You Wish For

All Arthur Friedman wanted to do was liven things up in the bedroom. He and his wife, Natalie, had been married for ten years, and things were getting a bit, ahem, stale. Instead of the usual suspects — lingerie, porn, toys, weekend get-a-ways — Arthur had one tiny request: he wanted to watch his wife engaging in sexual acts with other men and women. (We imagine her response was something along the lines of, "oh honey, how romantic!")

In the name of love, Natalie obliged, and somewhere betwixt the twosomes and threesomes and foursomes (oh my!), a man named German Blinov was thrown into the mix. He and Natalie found that their interest in one another went further than the mere satisfaction of her husband's voyeuristic desires; they fell in love. Blinov divorced his wife, and Natalie ended things with Arthur, who then set out for a little retaliation.

Friedman sued Blinov using an archaic law, alienation of affections, arguing that Blinov was the direct cause for the alienation of Natalie's affection toward Arthur. This absurd law, dating back to 1864, is only currently recognized in 7 states (unfortunately for Blinov, Illinois is one of those). Usually these cases are thrown out because it is too difficult to prove that the defendant was the sole cause of the dissolution of the marriage. And because, in our opinion, the law itself is completely ridiculous.

In court, Natalie stated that her love for Friedman had started to cool before she met Blinov, and quickly dropped to subzero when Friedman asked her to start sleeping with other people. A valid argument, which is why it's so surprising that Friedman was somehow able to successfully prove that Blinov was indeed responsible for the alienation of affection. The judge, using bizarre calculations we hope we never have to make, ruled that Blinov owes Friedman $4,802. Who said you couldn't put a price on love?

It seems pointless to mention the obvious insanity wherein a man asked his wife to sleep with other people and was then shocked (shocked!) when she fell for someone else and he ultimately got what he deserved. But, surprisingly, that's not the most bewildering aspect of this twisted tale: the same jurors that decided in favor of Friedman also repeatedly referred to the case as "stupid" and called the alienation of affections statute "ridiculous." Don't worry, it makes our head hurt too.

I remeber I asked the same thing to a devote Christian he said yes. I said that if I steal a million dollars, it would be absurd for me to get the same treatment for stealing a .01 cent spork

Now, that i am older, I see what he meant. Stealing is stealing, and stealing a million dollars versus a spork is the same, it is the act, not the value that men hold up.

Is it just as much of a sin to commit murder as it is to have premarital sex?


Since there is mostly Christians on this board what does alleged "word of God" in the bible say on this? 

I'm curious.

I agree with Stella about "Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" and that there will be different degrees of punishment but ultimately sin is sin no getting around that! Any sin commited separates you from God whether you steal 1 million dollars or .01 the wage is eternal separation from God (Death).

Matthew 18:5-7   
 Verse 5
"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.
Verse 6
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Verse 7
"Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!

P.S. Even if sex between to adults is consensual, if they are not married its sin (Fornication/Adultery)! Sex is for married couples only!

When you eliminate the act of competing with your fellow man/or any living thing from your life.  You will run on the same frequency of the creator of all things...Most other people will be bowing down to "Gods"...But these Gods for sure won't be the creator of all things...
