1 | lying with someone is a commitment | Ex 22:16 | Neopatriarch | 189080 | ||
Lying with someone is not a commitment, though it does create an obligation according to the scripture that you quoted. Failure to meet such an obligation results in harlotry. The scripture is not about getting caught, it is about taking responsibility, and respecting God's Law. Two concepts that are not very popular these days. Nevertheless the principle is in full force for Christians. God Bless, Robert |

2 | kids out of wedlock. | Ex 22:16 | Neopatriarch | 189077 | ||
Your husband has an absolute obligation to that woman, just as Biblically certain as he does for you. His obligation is incurred with or without the children. Too many Christian men are hiding from their former lives instead of living in obedience to God’s word. God will bless your husband for his obedience. Now I know that the verse is not a popular verse, but it does not distinguish between married and unmarried men. It is similar to a verse in the New Testament again with no regard for the man’s marital status. But if any man thinks that he is not acting properly toward and in regard to his virgin [that he is preparing disgrace for her or incurring reproach], in case she is passing the bloom of her youth and if there is need for it, let him do what to him seems right; he does not sin; let them marry. 1 Cor 7:36 It may offend your sensibilities, but the question is what should you do about it? What did Godly women do about it? I hope you haven’t left your husband, but if you have I hope you will reconcile. God Bless, Robert |

3 | Meaning of a husband of one but one wife | 1 Tim 3:2 | Neopatriarch | 184279 | ||
It means he must be married. There is no word "but" in the Greek, and most English versions that have the word indicate so by having the word in italics. The word "one" here is not a numeral, but rather an adjective. Consider verse 1 Timothy 5:9. "having been the wife of one man" Here the word is the word "one" is the Greek word "heis", which is of course the appropriate numeral Paul chooses to use. After all a woman who marries another while her first husband yet lives is an adulteress. The word for "one" in 1 Timothy 3:2 is the word "mia". One doesn't have to use the word "one" as a numeral as I have done with the first word in this sentence. Thats what we see with one in this context. Consider that "mia" is also translated into the following words: "first", "a certain", and "the other" Any thats my answer...years late... But it means he needs to be married. God Bless, Robert |
