1 | How do I forgive adultry if it continues | Bible general Archive 4 | TJS | 202156 | ||
BradK, I'm talking about the difference of stopping the same sin, or "coming into the light" versus repeating the sin. I ask you, do you know that your committing a sin and go ahead and do it? Do you feel absolved of the sin and then repeat it again? This may be an important reason that some persons who believe, fall away from attending church. Some call it hypocracy. Perhaps you can tell, I have that issue that I have not resolved. Sincerely, TJS |

Val, You ask "At what point did the Lord take away the sin?" It was when the sin was known and stopped. Similarly CDBJ replied concerning "coming into the light". Becoming knowledgeable of a wrong (sin)is also coming into the light. "Enlightened" one might say. If one clings to the sin, after having received the light, they are embracing the evil. Have we went so far in embracing forgiveness that we don't recognise evil? Have many churchs turned a blind eye to evil for political reasons or because of ones wealth? Here are my thoughts that many will disagree. Our churches put too little effort into recognition of sin that it is now commonplace amongst us. One friend says "evil hides in the church". How many persons sin during the week and then go to church on sunday, only to return to their evil ways? Are we so hung up on filling the church coffers that sin and evil are not rooted out? That's not following Jesus. Regards, TJS |

I would say that I am a sinner also and that I have prayed for forgiveness. I would say that when he impressed upon me my sins, I have sought to correct my behavior. I would say I have striven to be a wise man but know that I fall short. I would say that I have taken up my cross (against wrong and injustice) but fear the crucifiction. Regards, TJS |

I used the wrong word "forgave" when I should have used "accepted". God brought me to my knees at that time and I know I'm not the one to judge, but that he will. "Accepted" is the better term, because I believe the continuance of a sin is much worse than a transgression one repents for. Do we allow the continual sinner into our church because they give tithe, fill the pews or are an officer, believing only that those they hurt will "forgive" them. I don't think forgiveness from the Lord comes that easily. Yes it is a gift, but the sinner knows that stopping the sin is not without effort or sacrafice. I admit the hurt remains every time I try to communicate with my son and get no reply. It's like opening an old wound, but I continue to try. However the lord has blessed me with a wonderful family now. I'm not looking for condemnation of her, my ex wife, but trying to understand how and why her bitterness, that she transfered to my son, remains and I cannot seem to penetrate. Please go back to the issue of adultry and marriage between two adultering persons, my underlying question. I guess my underlying belief is that unrepented sin is not forgiven by the Lord, regardless of how I feel. I will tell a portion more that I didn't mention. They had a baby together and she had the child strapped into a stroller and went out on a pier on a lake. This was the only child that they had together. Tragically a boat came by that rocked the pier and the stroller went into the lake. She cannot swim and the baby drowned right in front of her. Nobody, would wish that on a person. But I'm left wondering if her transgression and the continuing nature of it, had something to do with that tragedy. Did the lord take their only child together because of their sin? Are we to believe that sin, unrepented (and not stopped) will go unpunished? Regards, TJS |

After review about adulty and remariage, I would like to have information about when the adultering spouses get married. That is, my former wife was adultering with a married man and they each got divorced, breaking up two families and then married together. They are Catholic and for a while not allowed in the church (communion) but then were allowed back. Here is my take on the situation. Each adultering spouse did wrong and would be individually forgiven. But forgiveness comes by repenting. One cannot steal, ask for and receive forgiveness and then return to stealing only to expect forgiveness again. It is the knowledge of the wrong that makes the sin. In this case, forgiveness is given with repentance, but repentance includes stopping the behavior that one is forgiven for. Their marriage is living in sin now, because they have not stopped the sin. By my read of the bible, two adultering spouses that marry are always living in sin, even if they ask for forgiveness it will not be given untill the sin is stopped. This greatly affected my life and the other spouse. Both of us had children. She (my former wife) developed a hate for me (while with the other men) and I never forgave her for the adultry, having married (one of) the other man. My son (28 years ago) was pulled emotionally and when she stopped my visitation, I sat on my rights and allowed them to do full parenting. I considered he would be more harmed by the constant arguement and acquiesced to being cut off from my child (with the knowledge they both had professional jobs and not hardship). I believed that as an adult, when that time came, he would be more prepared to understand the reasoning behind my decision. They moved across the country and got my parential rights disolved and adopted him at age 17, changing his name to that of the adultering man, all legal but against my protest. At age 25 I began seeking contact with him but to no avail. He's now 33 and will not communicate with me at all. The year upon year of his mother and her husband living in sin has hardened his heart. At the time, I did what I had to do to limit the stress on him. I did not like it and now wonder if I was wrong and that he will never return. His mom and her husband are always near him to reinforce the years of hate they instilled in him. I simply pray that god gives him the wisdom to understand that his hate to me is misguided. TJS |
