1 | Did Michael Shiavo Commit Adultery? | Bible general Archive 3 | JuanMas | 159820 | ||
A friend of mine and I were discussing the Terry Shiavo case and debating whether or not Michael Shiavo committed adultery with the woman he was living with and had children with before his wife Terry died. Assuming this woman was "Biblically Single", what verse(s) in the Bible define Michael Shiavo's relationship with this woman as adultery. we have noticed how people make assumptions about what is and what is not in the Bible without knowing the facts. Fact: The Old Testament(Deu 22:23-24) defines adultery in terms of the marital status of the woman - not the man. If any man (married or single) has sex with a woman who is the wife or fiance of another man, it is called adultery. Fact: Mat 19:9 calls it adultery when a man divorces his wife for reasons other than fornication and marries another. It also states that adultery has occurred when any man marries a woman who is divorced. So with this background in mind, what verse(s) in the Bible would define Michael Shiavo's relationship with the "other woman" as adultery? Again remember the assumption is that she was "Biblically Single"(never married or engaged to another man). |

JuanMas: You are mistaken in choosing this Study Bible Forum for a question on a high-profile court case that involves assumption and speculation. Please confine any future questions to matters directly related to Scripture. --Hank | ||||||
3 | Did Michael Shiavo Commit Adultery? | Bible general Archive 3 | JuanMas | 159844 | ||
Most people want to know how to apply the Bible to everyday life. I am not seeking a "legal" interpretation, but a "Biblical" one. You are right, it is a high profile case, but a number of Christians have publicly commented on the case. One group openly stated that they thought Michael should have divorced Terry, turn her over to her parents and move on with his life. My study of Mat 19:9 indicates that advice goes against the teachings of the Bible. So you can see there are lots of opinions out there. What can we learn from this case? What Biblical principles/Scripture should we apply if we find ourselves in a similar predicament? That's why this forum is the perfect venue for this type of discussion. |

It has been explained to you that this forum is NOT the venue for discussing celebrity court cases. The explanation is not an invitation to debate. It is the explanation of why we're NOT GOING to discuss this. If you insist on disucssing it, I suggest you take it elsewhere. | ||||||
