Why is an openly operating adultery business like Ashley Madison “legally” allowed and protected in America?
For the same reason that the mass-murder of babies is “legal” in America. (See: Selling murdered baby parts in America? Sure. Why not?)
And for the same reason that “gay marriage” is “legal” in America. (See: “Supreme Court” Votes for Wrath of God Upon America.)
Baby butchering, homosexual unions, and adultery business are “legal” and protected in America for the same reason that overtly socialistic enterprises like Social Security, ObamaCare and State-run children’s “education” are “legal” (and cherished nowadays) in America. (See: How’s that Pagan “conservatism” workin’ out for ya, Christian?)
All of these things are “legal” here because “We the People” have come to understand and approach law as a thing that is not necessarily dependent upon explicit subjugation to Christ the reigning King of all creation (see: Matthew 28:18-20 and Presuppositional Law: Where we begin with law determines where we end).

We are so proud, so delusional, and so utterly disconnected from reality as to believe that law is what we want it to be…regardless of how Christ defines (and personally embodies) it.
Until and unless we repent and submit to His Nature as revealed in His Word as our actual authoritative standard in detail and in practice in every realm of creation, we will continue to “legally” enable all manner evil.
Until and unless we repent of our harlotry and perversion of law as He embodies it, we will continue to reap the ever-deepening consequences of our pride and rebellion.
Why is something like Ashley Madison even ‘legal’ in America in the first place?
Until we stop to consider and answer that question biblically, all hope for this culture is (and deserves to be) lost. (See: Roaring into Post-America Christianity.)
May God grace us with the brokenness and humiliation necessary to inspire our repentance and repudiation of the warped notion that adultery itself can be the foundation of a “legal” business.
The only way that we as Christians can end child sacrifice and the Big Gay Wave that is sweeping over and radically redefining our culture is to stop being whores ourselves and lead others in the same direction through the faithful proclamation and application of the Gospel-fueled Great Commission.
To love Christ is to obey Him.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
~ 1 John 5:2-3 (emphasis added)
Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him
~ 1 John 2:4-5 (emphasis added)
To claim Him as Lord with our lips while disregarding His perfect, loving law, is to confirm our role as pretenders and prostitutes.
To claim Him as Savior while denying Him as Lord is to confirm our adultery…which is, of course, perfectly “legal” in America.

"Why is something like Ashley Madison even ‘legal’ in America in the first place?"
Because we have this thing called the Constitution, which grants all US citizens the right to their own religion be that Christianity, some other religion, or none at all. As a Christian, I find your message misplaced, and definitely to spirit led. I say this because, 1) America is not, nor ever was a "Christian nation", as some would have you believe. 2) Your message should be directed at the Church exclusively, and not the world. 3) By failing to understand the context of where your message is appropriate, you're not helping the cause of the evangelical mission. If you are going to speak of and to the political state of our nation, you cannot start speaking as if everybody is Christian, and should know better. You're not helping the cause of Jesus Christ whatsoever; but rather you come across as an ignorant "Christian" extremist.
Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. These are very sobering words from the Lord Himself. You can call Him a legalist if you dare but the fact remains, salvation is more then raising your hand up with all eyes bowed. This is the second time this week that I have written down a quote from Scott. "To claim Him as Savior while denying Him as Lord is to confirm our own adultery, which of course is legal in America". Great quote Scott, keep em coming.
Is it not not written: The priest and prophet alike are corrupt and my people LOVE IT THIS WAY? I don't recall the exact verse, but I do recall the sentiment.
