Bible Question (short): Continuous Adultery or not? |
Question (full): My present wife and I have been married for quite a while. We divorced our former mates on unscriptural grounds and know that we committed adultery when we married. My question is, according to Matt. 5:22 and 19:8, are we continually living in adultery as long as we are married and therefore, will be sent to hell, or has Christ forgiven us (we have asked for forgiveness)? I ask this because our former spouses are still living. Also, does anyone know the tense of the verb "commit" in these 2 passages of scripture. Is it a continual verb or a one time act? Please answer ASAP as it is bothering my present wife and me very much! |
