Bible Question: Based on Matthew chapter 18 versus 15 through 20. Should I confront the man my biological sister is having an affair with. He is divorced and she is separated. Her marriage is over but family is beginning to accept this new man. I feel I cant and feel I should follow the above mentioned scripture. However, Ive been told to allow God to deal with him and was directed to Romans chapter 12 versus 17 through 21. Id like Godly counsel on this matter from folks not directly involved. I will mention that all people involved are professing christians. Thanks |
Bible Answer: His alone, From the way you have phrased your question, it sounds as though your not so much concerned, about his (trespass against you), or his salvation, and restoration, because that is the only way to apply this verse. It sounds as though you just don't like the man. So don't delude yourself into thinking the scripture you used, is applicable. On the other hand, you do have a life long relationship with your sister, go to her, tell her how you truly feel, and why, she is more apt to listen to you. If she does not listen, keep in mind, that if you try to come between your sister, and her man, you could lose her. Be honest with ( yourself ) first, on what your true motive is, then, and only then, approach your sister. In Him Imm |
