''love the Lord your God with all your heart & strength
AND love your neighbor as yourself, all
Gods laws & those spoken by prophets hang on this''.....it is
a sure way to avoid sin.(these
are not my words but THE WORD that was with God speaking when HE came as man inorder
to redeem us & choose salvation.)
----------
Of course, staying close to God and following his commands can help us stay out of trouble, but the scriptures tell us "if we make the statement 'we have no sin' we are misleading ourselves and the truth is not in us"(James 3:2) Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent human sin at present(Ecclesiastes 7:20/James 3:2/Psalm 51:5). Human sin was inherited from Adam(Romans 5:12) and it's now part of our nature(Romans 3:23). Those who follow Jesus' example to the best of their ability and try to remain obedient to his father(Matthew 7:21-23), can be FORGIVEN for their sins(Matthew 9:2/Luke 7:47+48/1 John 2:1+2), but no human can prevent the sinful imperfect nature of humanity for now(Romans 3:9/1 John 1:8/Proverbs 20:9/Psalm 130:3).

Can one par-take in communion when committing adultery?
Well lightening won't strike you down. All sins are equal in the sight of God. All people sin, and that includes people who take communion. I'm pretty sure there are no rules as to who can and can't take communion, and there certainly is no one checking. Although honestly, if you're really afraid of whether or not a person can take communion while committing adultery, I would advise you to change your priorities. Communion won't get its feelings hurt, but spouses can.
Why do people commit sins in the name of god?
I imagine that in some people's minds they believe they are justified to god by committing particular sins, or honoring god by doing so.
