You just said that thinking it is the same as adultery to God ... the only one that would know you (generically speaking) are a secret adulterer is God ... who knows our thoughts ...
The committing in the physical realm would have grave consequences among us ... your wife, kids, family .. friends ... church members ...
The hurt, betrayal ... grief ... etc ... is felt among us.
Both the inward and outward act deserve death before a holy God...
That is why our justification by faith through Christ is paramount ... as well as walking in the Spirit.
