1 | Does God REQUIRE new believer to divorce | 1 Cor 7:24 | cwade | 66179 | ||
If a non-believer has been through three divorces, then remarries a fourth time, and AFTER the 4th marriage both he and his wife get saved and both REPENT of their prior divorces - are they then required to divorce? What if the divorce would hurt their three small children. Does God really want that? Didn't he forgive and FORGET their past sins including the divorces? | ||||||
2 | Does God REQUIRE new believer to divorce | 1 Cor 7:24 | Reformer Joe | 66180 | ||
You are not only not required to not get divorced; you are required to stay married. It is a complicated situation after divorce and remarriage occurs, but the fact is that the new Christian had already broken his covenant vows to their previous three marriages. Repentance is in order, for sure, but one cannot reasonably undo what has been already done in such a situation. The godly thing to do is to glorify God in one's present marriage, to honor one's vows. Also realize that such a scenario is not a new one. John 4 tells us how Jesus interacted with a Samaritan woman who had been married multiple times. And check out the verse at the top and read it in its context. --Joe! |

GOD BLESS YOU JOE!!! It is so nice to encounter someone who embodies the truth of God's love, God's grace and God's mercy! Sadly, many "Christians" have tried to tell us we need to cause heartache, devastation and destruction in our lives, and the lives of our children and get divorced because we are "living in sin." I would not want to be a part of a "religion" that really required something like that! God has blessed us and our marriage so much. He has answered all of our prayers and we both feel the constant presence of His Holy Spirit working in our lives. In our hearts we knew those "Pharisee and Saducees" who said we should divorce where wrong. They were damaging our faith! God bless you brother, you have "set us free". Now, are thee any children of God out there who disagree with Joe? | ||||||
