justme-Thank you for your insight. Repentence, then forgiveness. To be sincerely repentant. Not just forgiveness without repentance. We have been through more than you can imagine with my son. He is a constant liar. We asked a simple question if they are living together and fornicating. We get a harsh email from her mother (also a Christian) stating that she as well as the pastor see nothing wrong with her living there because nothing wrong is going on. Why didnt my son and his fiance tells us that themselves? Why the lying? How are we to trust him? He has lied and justified it so many times. He lies (and uses God as well) to get what he wants. It is hard to admit this but it is true. We are the ONLY ones(outside of the Lord) that know so much about him as well as the truth. He is disrespectful and rude to us as well as very prideful (he always has been even as a child he would never humble himself).If he can not humble himself before man he will never humble himself before God. This whole thing has been a big mess. Instead of the pastor, her mom and us dealing with them about this, my husband and I are having to justify our standards which are God's standards. They are being disobedient and with the blessings of other Christians. | ||||||

Thank you for your answer. Though you state "that just because someone says they are a Christian , they are" is not true. By their fruits-they are known. What is TRULY in their heart? Would they die for their faith? Would they forsake ALL to stand for what God's Word says? If non-believers were living together out of wedlock I would explain to them the reason I would not be attending their wedding either. How can a Christian put their approval on a wedding that is a mockery.Example: the bride wearing white as a sign of purity when she isnt pure. If a Christian or a non-beleiver "blows it" and fornicates and repents (turns from it)and stops fornicating than fine-no problem about attending the wedding. But if they continue in their sin than as Christians we can not put our blessing on the marriage by attending. Why is there no accountablity for us-for anything. Christians do not stand on God's Truth. There is not much difference between most Christians and the world. We have been "conformed to the world" though scripture tells us to do the complete opposite. We love our son more than our own life but we love God's Word more.You say to show them unconditional love-Is it unconditional love or compromise? | ||||||

Why would you want to show your faith in God as you say by doing something the Bible specifically speaks against? that is a contradiction. All of us we profess to be followers of Christ need to ask ourselves if what we do is pleasing to God. | ||||||

We spoke to the pastor and the fiance's mother who are also Christians. They all said they do not have a problem with our son and their daughter living together because she is there to just sleep. She works nights and he works days so they wont be there at the same time. Though she was there on his days off. We asked our son if she was staying there and are they fornicating and he said no. So he lied (he has a track record of lying). She is staying there-even if it is too sleep.( 1 Thes 5:22-Abstain from the APPEARANCE of evil). Her mother said she nor the pastor who is marrying them see no problem in her sleeping there. She "trusts her daughter". What about the immense temptations? What about the appearance of evil? We said they need to separate until marriage (which is in 2 weeks)or get married immediately. Her mother told us to "not cause any problems". The pastor believes that they are ready for marriage (he did pre-martial counseling with them).I am totally devastated as well as my husband. I am so sick of Christians who are wishy-washy in their stance. My husband said that we can not attend the wedding. It seems as we take a stand for righteousness, we are standing alone more and more often. It is just my husband, me and the Lord. We have nothing else. I am really fighting deep discouragement and depression over all of this. I know I need to look to the Lord and only Him. I know what God's Word says and take a stand for it but I keep asking myself are we the only ones????? | ||||||

Thank you so much for your answer! Our son was trained/instructed from birth from scripture. To answer your questions he was CONSTANTLY told about keeping pure until marriage. In fact we just spoke to him and gave him the opportunity to tell us the truth and he lied about his fiance living there when in fact know it is not true. We do not or ever did have cable of any kind. we also never watched television. He was homeschooled and taught the Truth from an early age. Like the Bible says-from the rising of the sun until the setting and the coming in and going out. We taught him God's standards. We told him all along (even as he was growing up)that we could not put our blessing or attend his wedding if he commited fornication. | ||||||
