Bible Question:
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I would like to know what the bible says about children born out of wedlock .To be open,my husband engaged himself in adulterous life and out of it he got 2 kids.Early this month he gave his life to Jesus.However he is adamant and he told me that he has to keep the woman and me as his wives because we both have his children.I told him God does not condone polygamy and i as a believer i cannot allow a second wife in my marriage as God intention in marriage is one man one wife. Now the question is ,as a born again christain,forgiven of all his past sins what is he supposed to do with the children of the other woman.What is the bible teachings regarding this issue.Help me so that i can help my husband spiritually for him to gain an intimacy relationship with God. Thankyou. Yours in Christ, Alice Chege ellieschege@yahoo.co.uk |
Bible Answer: Dear Alice, Your husband is in the role of Father Abraham , mine was kinda like that actually he started of to play Hosea _ I am a woman with a past! and then packed that one in....then he went off with another woman.. I diverge. Getting back to your question. YOur husband has placed himself in the sutuation of father Abraham. Is He repentent that is the first and foremost thing cos if he hasn;t he cannot do it right. If he sees his going to the other woman and creating sprogs from her as a sin and a tresspass against you and heaven then forgive him and get him to complete the part that God created for him to do. The story of Father Abraham you know don;t you? If you don;t go to Genesis and read up on it.Father Abrahanm also loved his hagar your husband has a hagar figure in the other woman and an ishmael figure in the kid(s) of the other woman. We are the seeds of Father Abraham so play the role fully. Tell him that he has to tell Hagar and Ishmael to varrrrmoooooose oughta there. Even as Father Abraham did to his own hagar and ishmael.God set them male and female not 1 male and 2 females. Let him know that he cannot divorce you and remarry as it is adultery and what good will that do to his hagar woman.? Hagar could lay hold of the things that God prepared for her and her son because she did not put asunder what God has joined asunder. There are some that cannot walk in that path of deliverance as they have put asunder my marriage and have a bastard sorry an ishmael figure which they cannot get cleaned even under Grace. |
