1 | Divorce: believer or unbeliever | Matt 19:8 | lionheart | 153584 | ||
Good day my brother, This is an issue that has raised countless questions and speculation .Matthew 19:8-12 I refer back to this passage of scripture because our Lord lays some pretty solid ground work regarding divorce and marriage. Jesus states plainly here the only reason divorce was permitted was because of peoples hard hearts.Notice that he also states that this isnt the way it was in the beginning.Our Lord had it down cold when it came to relationships. Check out 2 Cor. 6:14 and then come back and read 1 Cor 7:10-17. The impression I get here is that we are talking about the unsaved.Not always easy but simple enough to understand and with Gods guidance make some sence of. In Christ, lionheart |

2 | Divorce: believer or unbeliever | Matt 19:8 | jlhetrick | 153597 | ||
lionheart, Thanks for your post/answer, but this I have known and understood for years. I don't believe I asked the question strait forward enough. would the woman in this case, in spite of the husbands actions being contrary to his confession of belief, be obligated to judge her husband as saved and therefore obligated to never marry again? We know that a true christian is still capable of sin and surely we do sin as christians. (Ro. 3:23) I believe the bible teaches that christians sin as a result of moments of weakness in temptation followed by a deep sense of conviction and repentance (see Matt 26:75). On the other hand, I believe that the bible teaches that when a person is intentionally and willfully choosing a lifestyle of sin and disobedience to God, they are not truly saved. Heb 6:4 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, Heb 6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, Heb 6:6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. (NASB) Thanks, Jeff |
