1 | What makes a christian an unbeliever? | 1 Cor 7:15 | JuanMas | 61432 | ||
Scenario 1: You have a christian married couple. The wife has a severe problem living beyond the couple's means and has mired herself and her husband in a mountain of credit card debt. The husband eventually gets fed up and leaves her. Is the husband automatically considered to be an unbeliever because he deserted his wife? If so, then why ? Scenario 2: Again you have a christian couple and the man bears false witness against someone. Does this automatically make the husband an unbeliever? If so why? |

2 | What makes a christian an unbeliever? | 1 Cor 7:15 | JuanMas | 61455 | ||
I know other christians who state that any christian man who deserts (divorces) his wife for non-biblical reasons is an unbeliever. They subsequently apply 1 Cor 7:15 and declare the wife eligible for remarriage. Interestingly, I've proposed these scenarios to those individuals and received the following answers: Scenario 1 - he's an unbeliever; Scenario 2 - he is NOT an unbeliever. Now this made no sense and was totally illogical to me. How could an act that is a violation of the 10 commandments NOT result in the perpetrator being declared an unbeliever and an act that is not one of 10 commandments brand a christian an unbeliever? I agree that 1 Cor 7:15 pertains to the unequally yoked and I believe it is a misuse of the scriptures to apply it to scenario 1 type situations. |

The question I hear being asked is 'does the husband lose his salvation?' The answer is no. All these difficult relationship situations make us run for any answer that allows escape. Rationalizing will distort God's truth and allow the escape. Scripture doesn't teach us that we lose our salvation(become unbelievers)if we sin. That is what the cross is all about. These arguments are looking for a loophole to escape a very tough set of circumstances. We want happiness, God wants holiness. | ||||||

NewLump You said, "Scripture doesn't teach us that we lose our salvation(become unbelievers)if we sin. That is what the cross is all about." That is true but it also does not supply us a license to sin. To many use the eternal salvation as a way to commit sin. Then you said, " God wants holiness" that is very true and it is time this society wakes up to this fact. God demands holiness, eternal salvation will cover momentary slips of holiness but it does not cover willful sin. EdB |

Ed, I agree that grace does not issue a license to sin.(Rom.6) No problem there. I didn't think my reply implied that, I'm sorry if it did. (This discussion seems like a search for a scriptural loop-hole. If the husband loses his salvation then the wife is free.) I am not sure I understand your last sentence. "eternal salvation will cover momentary slips of holiness but it does not cover willful sin" Could you elaborate? |

NewLump When we set out to sin knowing it is wrong and say I don't care the blood of Jesus will take care of this I'm going to do it anyhow. Is what I consider willful sin. I do not beleive that is covered by the blood because of Hebrews 10:26 EdB |
