Is Committing Adultery Your Practice?

They’ve Trampled Underfoot the Son of God
“For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
