A Cheating Spouse Breaks at Least 6 Commandments, Possibily More

The eternal question seems to be are affairs a forgivable sin within a marriage, personally I think infidelity is forgivable, but once the trust within a relationship is broken it is very hard to get back. I am not sure when the sin part comes in as I have always understood a sin to be against God him self and in an affair you are harming your spouse by having this lustful affair. An affair by a cheating spouse is not a forgivable sin in God's eyes but the spouse of the sinner can decide to forgive the affair.

When one spouse chooses to have an affair it is a premeditated act, there for that cheating spouse has by all accounts completed a host of things to break commandments. The way I see it an affair breaks so many commandments it is unreal, therefore you are sinning against God instead of a spouse.

In some instances, the cheating spouse will actually think the other man or other woman is a God and that breaks commandment #1. Too many times a cheating spouse will forget about everything else while having an affair.

If that cheating spouse screams out oh God during the sin of an affair that too is yet another sin they are committing, which is commandment #2. Yeah ok, so I am reaching but you never know the cheating spouse could scream out that during the actual act of fornication and this breaks that commandment.

If the cheating spouse sees, the other woman or other man on a Sunday that cheating spouse is breaking Sabbath and commandment #3, which is committing another sin. Many of us break Sabbath by working because our bosses require us to do so, but to have a lustful affair on a Sabbath must be a mortal sin.

A spouse who has an affair is breaking commandment #4 because when that cheating spouse hides an affair or denies it to their parents he or she is not honoring them. You never honor your parents by lying to them or being deceitful in any way, we all know this.

Commandment #5 deals with murder, and yes, some cheating spouses do commit this sin as well. However most people who choose to have an affair will not murder their spouse, but will play on the sympathies and emotions of that spouse which is abuse.
