I disagree. I believe Christ's new commandment tells us EXACTLY this... it is only sin if it harms someone else. Period.There is absolutely no biblical evidence to support the notion that something is only a sin if it "appears" to hurt someone---otherwise God is AOK with all the things HE has defined as sin when it "appears" no one is hurt. ALL sin is destructive---in one way or another, temporally and eternally. God is Holy and God's laws are Holy............He is not mocked by man disregarding His laws and making up their own as they go along.
Yeah... I get that... but WHY?Adultery defiles the marriage bed. The definition of adultery is having unlawful relations with someone who is not your spouse or having unlawful relations with the spouse of another. It is sin, not only against the marriage partner God joins one to (whether they are "willing" or not is not the issue concerning guilt), but it is sin against the Holy commands of the Lord.
WHY does God care if no one is getting hurt?
