hey justme, you are very correct in qouting Jesus's answer to the Pharisees concerning this issue. In defense of my answer I was not qouting a text about adultery as much as I was giving the exact translation of biblical greek as it pertains to this word that we translate in english as adultery. Your text deals more in context not with who is really doing what as much as it is equalizing the playing field of those who were calling themselves the religious leaders of Jesus's day. Jesus's issue here was not adultery, but was more about the religious people who looked fine on the outside,acted moral, and yet as Jesus called them they were white washed graves. The genesis of your sin is lust but lust is not sin until it becomes manifested. Read James 1:13-15. If it is not context don't qoute. Now the record is straight.
