THE CRIME OF ADULTERY There is no crime more heinous, more tragic, more damaging, more insulting, more fundamental to peoples lives than adultery! So much so that God ordered the death penalty for such a crime (Leviticus 20 10).
In my view, adultery is much more damaging to childrens lives than paedophilia itself. Adultery not only corrupts a child but the entire family as well. Every member of the family unit (including the entire extended family) is deeply affected by such an act and for a very long time.
Families may overcome just about anything and even death itself but will never overcome adultery. The extended family of the adulterer will feel the shame and disgust of their family members betrayal of their spouse and become shrouded in the crime especially the parents who were responsible for the upbringing of their son or daughter.
The children are torn apart and divided between their parents and other members of the family. The family home becomes a ghost residence no longer a family home. Trust is gone and is replaced by betrayal and disgust. The unity of family has gone and all because of a mindless act of adultery.
If we endow marriage and family as fundamental to society then how can we treat the ultimate assault on family as nothing of concern?
While true that we have laws that enshrine marriage and family as the ultimate assets of society, it is also true that there is no protection to either marriage or family. email the Secretary at secretary@blackshirts.info and we will answer any questions and/or offer assistance if we are able. |
