1 | I'm confused about salvation | Matt 19:9 | JuanMas | 114800 | ||
The purpose of declaring a man an "unbeliever", who "illegally" divorces his wife, is so that the wife can use 1 Cor 7:15 to marry someone else - thus circumventing Mat 19:9. An "illegal" divorce is one that occurs for a reason other than "unfaithfullness". The portion of Mat 19:9 that is being circumvented is: "... and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.". If the wife can declare her ex-husband an unbeliever, there are those who believe she can exercise the escape clause in 1 Cor 7:15 ("Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.") and remarry without sin. I've always said "Two Wrongs don't make a Right". In the case cited, a wife should follow 1 Cor 7:10-11 (".. remain unmarried or reconcile to her husband"). But instead, risks her salvation by committing sin - perhaps out of vengence. The bottom line is still the same - one person's sin causes that of another. Mat 5:32 said so: "but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery".

I think if a woman separates from her husband and does not have biblical grounds for divorce, but does not "remain unmarried or reconcile to her husband" but joins herself to another man that that woman may very well not be saved at all. She may have a "said faith" or a "dead faith" as talked about in James Chapter 2. I don't get upset when I see this going on because there are a lot of people in churhes that have never been born again. Like the saying goes, "just because you are in a garage it does not make you a car". I believe that someone who has the Spirit of the living God on the inside will be far removed from all that stuff going on in the world. But there are a lot of people who flatter themselves by thinking that they are Christians. Come judgement I will not be surprised to hear Jesus say, "away from me all you who work iniquity". |
