Bible Question: Matthew 5:32 is confusing me?? I hace married a divorced woman and Im a divorced man, we gave our life fully to Christ later in life, but Jesus said in the verse (mentioned Above), does this mean we committed adultery by marrying one another? Do we need forgivness again? |
Bible Answer: Hi there, First off, all of 1 Cor. 7 says a lot. Even if you were a Christian, and a non-believing spouse left you, and/or they committed adultery, you are also without any bondage or servitude with regards to that previous relationship. That said, if restoration is possible, it is clearly taught that that should be done. If you were not a true Christian, and you broke off that ptrevious relationship, for whatever reason, and remarried, you do need to seek forgiveness, from them, but forgiveness from God has already been granted. If reestablishing the marriage relationship is possible because neither is in a new marriage relationship, it seems clear that this is best. There are many related issues, i.e. how to determine if the other party is Christian, or not. THe concept that GOd would have us forgive all others, even for adultery, if they repent, no matter how many times they repent, (The definition of repentance) the issue of hardness of heart in this case, even the biblical definition of adultery, is something that is debateable. |
