1 | Need help with adultry and remarriage. | 1 Cor 7:11 | kmv2h | 161924 | ||
Please allow me to clarify. I recently ended a long-term relationship with a man I loved dearly. He was from a Christian home (Dad preacher of Church of Christ), he graduated from a Christian college and proclaims to be a Christian. Twenty years ago he married someone and divorced her six months later because he committed adultery and got someone else pregnant. He subsequently married the "other woman" and stayed married for eighteen years, until he repeated the adultery. I became involved with him after he left his wife, in another state, and with him telling me he was divorced. Later I found out he was not, only did get divorced early this year. He always contended that, though he loved me more than anyone, he could not marry me because he was not "scripturally available." Now, this has been so traumatic and has shaken my faith to the core. He was the one who gave me all the biblical references. He contends that he never was "scripturally divorced" because he was the one who committed the adultery and, according to the scriptures, he is still married. Thus, if he married me we would both go to hell. He had to leave me in order to repent and be celibate for the rest of his day. I support him in this decision because it is what he believes and is pivotal to his faith. What I need to know is, if this is true, do I need to make sure that the next man I meet is "scripturally divorced" or does it matter? I hope and pray this makes sense. Please advise. |
