Remember from the beginning it (the writ of divorcement) was not so.
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, (nor adulterers). nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God
>>>And such were some of you:<<<.../// before being washed, before Christ. So with all of these sins mentioned you believe in repentance / stop the sin, except with adultery?
but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God
....these instructions to the church( after the resurrection of Christ)
Says that before Christ some were adulterers. In what way were they adulterous (define adultery in this context) before Christ, how are they no longer adulterous after being in Christ?
Whatever your answer , it has to be the same way that they are no longer liars, thieves , extortioners, etc.

Ιn my (and the whole Church
) understanding of repentance ,i
f i was a stealer and repent and God washes me through His blood, i am not longer under that sin! (i WAS onve a stealer,drunker,blasphemus etc.)
but now i am not. But if i relapse to that sin i was once deliver
i continue to be a chief and so God tells me <dont be deceived> Peter, you will not enter if you keep doing the same thing.
Now
if i never stopped to steal? That means i never repented (on that particular sin) and i was never forgiven.
I was a <blashpemer> but if i keep doing it, i AM one right now and in the way of hell.
Now like you say, how one can say <i was an adulteres> but now i am <washed by the blood> but i still live with the woman i commit udultery once?
something wrong with that.
