You're confused. Sin does not send anyone to Hell. Rejection of Christ does.In Western countries(Christian Majority)----Adultery is common
Now according to the Bible almost every Christian is going to Hell
New-Testament
Matthew 19:9 "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
Mark 10:11 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her."
Mark 10:12 "And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
Luke 16:18 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
Old-Testament
Deuteronomy 22:22 "If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die."
Leviticus 20:10 "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death."
Proverbs 6:32 "But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself."
Also point to be noted according Jesus(pbuh) the laws of Old-Testament are still valid and are applicable upon Christians
Matthew 5:17-19 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Now My point ,Since adultery is clearly prohibited in the Bible, and since most Western Christians today are divorced and are either living with their boyfriends/girlfriends or married to other people, wouldn't that cause for them to be thrown in Hell? After all, most Western Christians according to the Bible are committing adultery ,and according to Ot "both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death."

no christian is going to hell
hell is for those who dare to question
Not can be -- are.There are many more verses that point out to Adultery it is forbidden and are a sin but as the Christians claim those sins can be forgiven
i prefer can be. If you repeatedly do it, pre-emptively do it, asking forgiveness and planning on asking forgiveness before you repeat the sin im not sure one would find it. people seem to look at christ as a get out of jail free card (get out of accountability card) and i dont quite agree.Not can be -- are.
people change their God to appease themself. AlthoughIn Western countries(Christian Majority)----Adultery is common

That places the onus on us, though. It isn't. The onus is on God, who does not wait for us to ask before forgiving us.i prefer can be.

if you know you are doing wrong, well asking for forgiveness after the fact of your pre planned transgressions isn't exactly asking in earnest.
The old testament didnt offer repentance for deliberate sin, neither does the new. You heart has to be earnest in its wanting forgiveness.That places the onus on us, though. It isn't. The onus is on God, who does not wait for us to ask before forgiving us.
What about the woman caught in prostitution? That was certainly a willful act of sin. And she wasn't asking for forgiveness. Jesus simply forgave her.The old testament didnt offer repentance for deliberate sin, neither does the new. You heart has to be earnest in its wanting forgiveness.
There is born in sin, sinning ignorantly, and then willfull sin.
Willfull sin isn't as cut and dry to be forgiven of through grace. Since you have to have a repentent heart just to receive the grace of forgiveness. If you are willfully sinning, how receptive is your heart?
Well, duh!The idea is to try NOT to sin. Not willfully sin.

Hebrews 10;
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.
just my opinion. i think continuous willful sinning will put one onto another road on judgment day than the preferable one. The idea is to try NOT to sin. Not willfully sin.

I like God's perspective on multiple relationships. He calls it confusion.
Not exactly. he told her to go and sin no more. And he did not say that he forgave her only that He did not condemn her. However the reason for that was not because He approved of her sin or found her not guilty but rather tht she had been done an injustice by choosing to make her an example while allowing the man to go free. By allowing her to go free He was simply appying equal justice.
Can´t find that verse
He did forgive the jews who were spiting on him, pointing and laughing at him, etc while he carried the cross.
I am going to take a wild guess and believe they didn´t precisely asked for forgiveness.
