Bible Question: One woman named Lou (Catholic faith) took a neighbor's husband who was married for 20 years with 2 kids, and lead him to divorce. What does the Bible say about it, please? Would you please give me quotes/passages from the Holy Scripture to help Lou understand her spiritual wrongdoing? The ex-wife and the kids still hope that the man would return back to the family one day. He will, if Lou follows her faith, and does a right thing now, letting the man go back to his family. But she needs to be directed to certain relevant passages from the Bible, please. thanks! Pls email me the answer to nastenka_99@yahoo.com |
Bible Answer: Dear Anamak, 1/ It is sure not appropriate to expose your friend's name (if she is your friend) in a public forum. Despite her wrong doing (only according to what you have portrayed), you should keep her anonymous if you truly treat her as a friend. 2/ This kind of issue is usually very complicated. You should urge and encourage your friend (?) to talk to her pastor or elder or someone mature in faith at her church. 3/ I would suppose that she is your friend, then you should speak the truth in love as what is taught in Mat 18:15-17. Please read the scripture in its context. It is about forgiving, fair judgment and church discipline. Lastly, every action of helping the family and your friend should be supported with fervent and sincere prayers. Shalom Azure P.S. I wonder if you are the wife. |
