2 | Why not try to witness to an unbeliever | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 71236 | ||
Greetings Dat, You have introduced a difficult scenario: marriage between a Christian and a person who believes in the teaches of the "Latter Day Saints." I believe that Paul most accurately discusses these things in 1 Corinthians 7. Notice in verse 28: "..Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you." :-) If such a scenario would exist, then the chief obstacle would lie in the fact that you and your spouse share different views regarding faith. The "success" or "failure" of your marriage will depend greatly on how you and your spouse deal with this chief obstacle. Since you are the head of the household, and if your marriage relationship remains in the spirit of Ephesians 5:21-33, Colossians 3:18,19 and 1 Peter 3:1-2,7, then I believe that it is in YOUR place, as the husband, to better influence and direct whether or not your family members should continue to talk with or try to witness to your wife, so that they may win her over to Christianity. But, of course, there may be disagreements on both sides, if her family consists of Mormons and your family consists of Christians. I believe that Paul most directly speaks of this in 1 Corinthians 7, although he does say in verse 28,"..Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you." :-) I believe that if you are presently considering such a scenario as you have presented, then it would be wise to take a step back to view a full perspective of just what exactly you are getting yourself into, my friend. :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |
