Definition: "Adultery" is a term in Christianity referring to any sexual act or relationship, regardless of age or status. The word "adultery," in the Old Testament, specifically refers to when a married woman commits adultery with her husband's spouse, which is considered to be an immoral and abominable sin according to Jewish law. In Christian doctrine, adultery is also considered as one of seven deadly sins (see 2 Corinthians 6:14-15), which are the five most serious ones. The other six deadly sins include pride, envy, evil spirit, lust, greed, and wrath. However, some believe that Christians do not condemn those who engage in adultery because it is considered a sin by God but also because they have sinned against their own fleshly desires. It's important to note that the Old Testament view of sexual relations is different from the modern understanding, and many interpretations and perspectives on this matter can be found within various Christian traditions.
