Yes,Matt.5
[27] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
[28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

I already said that but I am glad that you read your Bible also

Joelel if looking at porn is automatically adultery, and adultery is biblical grounds for divorce. Then every man who looks at porn, his wife has grounds for divorce without him actually taking any action?

Who knew it would be that easy to get rid of her?

Legalism in it's truest form gags at a gnat and swallows a camel.

I've read a study once that stated something like fornication is the physical sin while adultery is the emotional/heart sin. Jesus said no divorce except for fornication, which is the actual physical act itself.

Any thoughts?

I think if a spouse violates the exclusivity of the marriage bond by using his/her body and spirit with another (which is what someone using porn is doing), then, because of the close intimate bond between husband and wife, he/she violates the marriage through adultery.

Adultery is an act that contradicts a vow.
Fornication is the same act without the force of a vow being in operation.

I am so saddened by folks who teach Matt 5:32 as inspired by God and then seem to be able to ignore that the two words (fornication and adultery) are used to establish a contrast.

We go searching for loopholes, we find loopholes...imagine that.

Math.19:2: And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3: The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4: And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5: And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6: Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7: They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8: He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, (adultery) and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery


1 Cor.7:12: But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13: And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15: But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage (under bondage means, you are not bound by the law of marriage because the person is not a believer and God didn't join them together) in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16: For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

How about if one married a Woman who had been the Adulteress in a marriage but down the road was born again? Do you or anyone else believe God counts the old life against them? Or is it as if they had never sinned?
