Is it adultery to be physically intimate with someone if neither of you is married?

I think the term for that might be 'fornication'.

@AgapeLove If you had read the question correctly, in this instance no one is being cheated on.

I don’t think it’s exactly adultery (not sure), but it’s definitely cheating.
ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T
@Tastyfrzz ? yes but like...people date before marriage...in case you didn’t know

Ok, but if the two people that are dating have sex is that an issue? Many people just live together now without getting married. Marriage just makes lawyers rich.

@Tastyfrzz if the two people that are dating have sex with each other...obviously no. They’re supposed to have sex with each other. Hm, I don’t know much about legal marriage. I’m only 18 :p

It is unfaithfulness/cheating if in a relationship. It is adultery if not married.

@Pfuzylogic have to be married to call it adultery. It's a different Greek word. "Moicheia".

Then you are stating this in your understanding. I disagree with that point of view. For me it is much too narrow of an understanding of the term.

Depends on which definition youre using. Generally, you need to be married for it to be adultery.

It is if the other someone who is being slept with is married.

The term is fornication if unmarried.
in technical terms, yes.

Whenever I see questions about the Bible or Jesus I can’t help but remember this

@AgapeLove I’ve been cheated on & yes it sucks & is a nasty way to treat someone who trusts you. But I’ve come to learn it’s usually about them lacking something in themselves so I don’t harbor much anger anymore about it.
