Bible Question: i would like to know if someone had to of had an affair in there previous marriage and then got divorced, although the x husband didnt ever know about it,and then that persone re married another man after a while is this ok, or are they commiting adultary every morning they wake up. |
Bible Answer: This is a tricky question. Did this affair occur before or after Salvation? Whatever we have done before receiving Christ, is wiped clean. Christ died as a ransom for our sins. If we are truly sorry for what we have done before receiving him and repent, those sins are forgiven which would make it alright in the eyes of God for us to marry. If the affair occurred by the believer after salvation then read Matthew Chapter 19:1-12. According to this chapter, the husband in this case did not know that his wife had an affair and he is free to marry if the unbelieving wife divorced him. On the other hand, if he did not know of the affair and he left the unbeliever, he would be committing adultary should he remarry. The bible states that God hates divorce and that even though a believer is married to an unbeliever, that is not reason for divorce if the unbeliever is willing to live with them. Read the entire 7th Chapter of 1 Corinthians, this should make this clearer to you. I pray that this helps you. Love In Christ.....Barb |
