Subject: What makes a christian an unbeliever? |
Bible Note: Thanks for your response. However, you missed the point about the inconsistent application of scripture. Why did violating one of the ten commandments NOT make him an unbeliever while illegally divorcing his wife DID make him an unbeliever? This, to me, seems to be an inconsistent application of scripture. I don't believe either scenario makes the individual a non-believer. Those Christians who declare that an "illegally divorced" man becomes an unbeliever, ARE looking for a loophole to allow the innocent wife to remarry cleanly and not be considered an "adulteress" by Mat 19:9. I might also point out that you've taken Deut 24:1-4 out of context. The proper context has nothing to do with a wife coming back to a re-married husband - It's about a husband remarrying his ex-wife who has remarried and divorced (Whew! that's a mouth full). |
