=====Protestantism===== {{POV section|date=January 2022}} The evangelical [[Melvin Tinker]] states that: "The principle is clear isn't it, 'You shall not commit adultery'? How does the Pharisee handle it according to the minimum requirement method? He says, 'Sex outside marriage is OK for us because neither of us are really married. I am not sleeping with another man's wife, so it isn't adultery, she's my girlfriend'. Or it is also not adultery because 'I have not had sex with that woman.' to quote [[President Clinton]]'s plea in the [[Clinton–Lewinsky scandal|Monica Lewinski [''sic''] saga]]. So he can abuse his position as President by messing around with a girl who is hardly younger than his daughter, he can engage in all kinds of sexual activities with her, but because he technically doesn't have intercourse he can hold up his hands and say, 'I have not had sex with that woman.' That is a Pharisee speaking. "But the maximum application method says, adultery doesn't just happen when you have sexual intercourse, it happens in your heart. However, the mistranslation is unfortunate at this point. In the Greek it says, 'If anyone looks upon a woman in order to lust, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.' That is an important distinction. I need to point that out because sexual arousal, sexual interest, sexual attraction are essential for the continuation of the human species. It is about looking in order to lust. The striptease show, the dirty movie or video, the internet pornography. You see, it is the intending to look in order to have that arousal that Jesus has in his sights."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.stjohnnewland.org.uk/sermtext.asp?id=273 |title=St John Newland - Sermon text |access-date=29 December 2018 |archive-date=30 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181230130539/https://www.stjohnnewland.org.uk/sermtext.asp?id=273 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
