Bible Question (short): Confronting another about sin |
Question (full): A girl in our church is very unhappily married with kids. She and I have recently become very good friends (I am male). I have learned that she has developed an enormous crush on me and is about to leave her husband in the hopes that I will become interested in her. She has told a couple of her friends about her feelings for me. I have never done anything to provoke these feelings in her. It has gotten out-of-hand (she calls and e-mails me many times a day and is starting to ask very leading questions). I have somewhat tried to avoid confronting her about this, but a friend told me that as a brother in Christ of hers, I am obligated to confront her because this is tanatmount to adultery. I seem to remember reading or hearing this also. Does anyone know where I might find references to this in the Bible? I am hoping that if I can find this and read it, I might find some inspiration on how to handle this situation...it cannot continue because she is about to make the wrong decision for the wrong reasons. Thank you. |
