Bible Question: I would like to know what the Bible has to say about remarriage when the two people were in adultery and caused the break up the first marriage and the woman also became pregnant while the man was still married, the two that were committing adultery were supposedly Christians, they are now married and have a child concieved out of adultery and caused the former wife untold grief. If God is a loving caring God why does it seem that the faithful wife has been left alone while the ex husband seemingly has a new wife new child new home and doing quite well, what does the bible have to say about this? |
Bible Answer: What does the Bible have to say about this? . . . God forgives. Let him. There is only one unforgivable sin and it is neither divorce nor suicide. . . . It would serve no purpose to dissolve the subsequent marriage. Whoever did that would be adding sin upon sin. . . . On the other hand, Grace is not a license to sin (Rom 6:1 and following), as Paul and so many others have been falsely accused of teaching. . . . Yet, though God does forgive, it is also true that one reaps what one sows. If anyone sows discord in their own family, they will inherit the wind. . . . King David, for example, was forgiven the sin of adultery, but look at the terrible price he paid. "Why does it seem that the faithful wife has been left alone while the ex husband seemingly has a new wife new child new home and doing quite well?" I suppose the answer to that one would have something to do with man's freewill, which is much touted on this Forum. |
