1 | Does abandoning make you an unbeliever | 1 Cor 7:15 | JuanMas | 113138 | ||
Are you saying that a Christian man who abandons his wife is an unbeliever? Please site the scripture you use to come to that conclusion. | ||||||
2 | Does abandoning make you an unbeliever | 1 Cor 7:15 | kalos | 113140 | ||
There is no such thing as "a Christian man" who "is an unbeliever." It's either/or. You're either a believer or an unbeliever. | ||||||
3 | Does abandoning make you an unbeliever | 1 Cor 7:15 | JuanMas | 113637 | ||
I agree totally. However, my pastor neighbor has told me that any "Christian man" who performs an unChristian act becomes an unbeliever. Specifically, if a Christian man abandons (divorces his wife illegally - for reasons other than unfaithfulness), he becomes an unbeliever and therefore under 1 Cor 7:15, his wife is free to remarry without committing adultery per Math 19:9 (... and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery). He also has told me that one can become a Christian again if one confesses his/her sin and becomes truly repentent. It is his belief that Christians cannot go to hell since being a Christian requires one to be "Christ like". Consequently, according to this logic, one can be a Christian one moment and not one the next and so on. Personally, I believe that anyone who believes in Jesus is a Christian. We are not perfect and we may indeed sin as we go through life. However, whether we sin or not does not change our status as being a believer. |

Reading all of these posts...and it just seems that people try to use the scriptures more to justify..leaving then to find a way to reconcile. Which is Gods will..There was a covenant made between a wife, husband AND GOD Treat them as an Unbeliver does not mean that they are an unbeliever. I believe that means how would you witness to an unbeliever? As for a believing husband leaving? It is beyond me why a believing spouse would leave..Jesus says not to. If you hold alliegence to Christ why would you? Jesus is very clear that there is only one way Permitted...(notice I say permitted not commanded) Reconcililation should always be the goal that is God's will. He hates divorce, and commands wives not to leave their husbands and husband not to divorce their wives.. That one way is sexual immorality, sexual umfaithfullness, unchasity...Fornication... AS for it causing a believer to be an unbeliever.. In Matthew we are told if a brother sins against us go and show him his sin. If he doesn't listen take witnesses,and if he still doesn't listen, take it to the church...if he still doesn't listen then treat him as you would an unbeliever. this is a disaplinary measure for Christians that refuse to repent of their sin. He then talks about what you bind on earth you bind in heaven,basically..what the Church approves or rebukes is what you should be listening to, for you are to submit to the church leaders and to not do so...(repenting of your sin) you are therefore going against God. |
