Biblical "Contradictions" #21: Is Adultery Wrong?

Many atheists like to exploit apparent errors in the bible. In this series of videos, I will be refuting some of the claims made by them.
This time, I look at whether the bible supports (Hosea 3:1, Hosea 1:2, Numbers 31:18) or condones (Exodus 20:14, Deuteronomy 5:18, Hebrews 13:4) adultery.

Ah, is this a logitech pro 9000? It's pretty much the only HD webcam you can find. It's the one I use.

No it's a microsoft lifecam. It's not really HD, I just rendered the video using HD settings in Sony Vegas.

It's not a contradiction, but Hosea does condone rape via forced concubines. King Solomon had hundreds of these sex slaves in his service along with hundreds of wives. At the time was simply lying with another man's wife, or a woman laying with two men. But the subjugate our enemies and rape their virgins for the rest of their lives is perfectly fine with practices and teachings of the time.

I CAN Explain it to you people and it's so easy. it comes down to the definition of adultery and how it's been changed. look up the word adulterate it means to make impure or to mix with something inferior. therefore adultery is race mixing and everywhere you see it in the bible it has been punished so it is logical to question the mainstream belief of the seventh commandment, look up christian identity, it's not for everyone but you might find it interesting since the aproach is realistic

Again, I do not think the Bible is relevant to any ethics of adultery. In other words it is not a concern for me if the Bible has contradictions regarding adultery or any other issue for that matter. What is relevant for me regarding adultery is the ethics behind the invasion of privacy of personal intimate relationships. The only individuals who should have anything to say about cheating are those intimately involved.
