Subject: Still an adulteress if I marry again? |
Bible Note: Did God make you wait to get forgiveness when you asked Jesus to be Lord of your life? How long did you have to wait, a day, a week, one year, two, are you still waiting. Being forgiven and having consequences for our actions are two different things. I don't know about you but when I believed I became the righteousness of God (Rom. 3:21-22). If my sins were not forgiven how could God say I am His righteousness because I believe. As a matter of fact If He says it, it must be. Ps. 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. [KJV] What does this verse mean? Does "Selah" mean in the future or later? As far as God forgetting my sins consider these scriptures. Jer. 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. [KJV] Heb. 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. [KJV] Heb. 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. [KJV] They seem pretty clear to me. We do have consequences for our actions. A murderer will be forgiven by God but may still be executed by the State. There are always consequences for our actions. Let's consider what Jesus said concerning adultery and an adultress. First the woman caught in adultery. Which are you, Jesus or the men He is talking with? John 8:1-11 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. [2] And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. [3] And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, [4] They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. [5] Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? [6] This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. [7] So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. [8] And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. [9] And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. [10] When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? [11] She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. [KJV] "Is thinking lustfully the same as taking the next step and do as David did? " You say NO. Jesus says: Matthew 5:27-32 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [30] And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [31] It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: [32] But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. [KJV] Jesus says YES. As far as I know the only unpardonable sin is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. If in my heart I truly repent of any sin except the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit God forgives me. Who am I NOT to forgive sin that God has forgiven. Matthew 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? [22] Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. [KJV] But not You? I don't think so. Forgiveness is a matter of the heart. It is between the one who has sinned and God. He knows the heart of a man not us. As for me, I will follow my Master and do my utmost to live and act as He lived. I cannot say the the writer of the original post is condemned by God is she has repented from a true heart. (Romans 8:1) If this is the condition of her heart then who am I to condemn. |
