<b>Hadji: Since all Christians still keep on sinning, aren't they all slaves of sin? </b>
Yes, since all Christians sin, we are all slaves of sin. But Christians believe we must do our best to not sin and therefore at least try to become slaves to obedience.
<b>Hadji wrote: This whole idea of not being under law is very unpractical, because it only leads to more sin. </b>
No. To repeat what Paul wrote in Romans 6:15 - <i><b>"What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the law but under grace? Of course not!"</b> </i>
<b>Hadji (quoting from the book of Romans) said: "Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if he lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husbnd dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress."</b>
Paul is saying two thing in this passage:
1) if a married woman lives with a man who is not her husband, then she is committing adultery.
2) if a married woman's husband dies, and the woman takes a second husband, then the act of taking a second husband is not adultery.
Do you disagree with either of these two statements?

How do muslims define the term "sexual intercourse"? For example, if a married man performs oral sex on another man's wife, then has the man committed adultery? How about the woman, has she committed adultery?
