Forsaking All Others . . . You Shall Not Commit Adultery (8 of 11)
Series: The 10 Commandments
Collin Wimberly
Exodus 20:14
CIT - God commands the people of Israel not to commit adultery
INTRODUCTION:
I believe the Bible is the Word of God and I know that many of you do as well. Let me ask you this question, ''Would you give $89,500 for one Bible?'' Well, you just might if it was ''the wicked bible''. There is a reason why it is not only called the ''wicked bible'', but it is so valuable. It is because it has probably the mother of all misprints of any book ever published in history. In 1631, King Charles I ordered one-thousand Bibles from an English printer, named Robert Barker. It was almost flawlessly done, but there was one small, but unbelievable typographical error. In the seventh commandment, they left out the little word ''not'' and so in this Bible, you read this verse, ''Thou Shalt Commit Adultery.'' [Display of the wicked Bible on screen.] King Charles I was so enraged that he fined the printer, 300£ sterling, which in that day was a lifetime worth of income, driving him out of business and ordered the one-thousand copies destroyed, but a handful escaped destruction. The only one for sale is offered at $89,500. ??There is no question that if you were to put the Ten Commandments to a vote in terms of popularity, this commandment would be voted the least popular of all. To this commandment we have a culture today that is saying, even to God himself, ''What we do behind closed doors is our private life and it is nobody's business - not even Yours.''
Culturally correct or not the Law of God is clear. Adultery, in all its forms is a sin.
THE ASSAULT OF ADULTERY -
Adultery is an assault on marriage. Nothing that I know of is more hurtful and devastating to a marriage than adultery.
ADULTERY ASSAULTS THE COVENANT OF MARRIAGE - The Bible tells us that marriage is a loving, lasting, binding, solemn, exclusive covenant ...
