Bible Question:
AM I LEGALLY MARRIED IN GODS EYES? THE REASON I ASK THIS ? IS, DURING A VISIT TO AN EVANGELICAL WEBSITE I CAME ACROSS SUBJECT MATTER PERTAINING TO JESUSES DISCUSSION ABOUT JUSTIFIED DIVORCE IN THE GOSPEL OF MATHEW:5, THAT WEBSITE SAID IF I GOT DIVORCED, OTHER THAN FOR INFIDELITY, THEN I AM NOT MARRIED IN GODS EYES AND AM COMMITING ADULTERY WHEN I AM WITH MY NEW WIFE. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TWICE BEFORE (NOT PROUD OF) BUT WHILE I WAS YET AN UNREPENTANT SINNER. I GOT SAVED DURING THE SEPERATION FROM WIFE #2 AND WAS ALREADY LIVING 2000 MILES AWAY, SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH SOMEONE ELSE CHILD, WHICH I FOUND OUT ABOUT WHEN I PRAYED AND ASKED GOD TO PUT MY MARRIAGE BACK TOGETHER IF IT WERE HIS WILL (WHICH I TOOK AS MY ANSWER "NO") I HAD NO CHILDREN WITH THOSE 2 AND I FEEL GOD HAS BLESSED ME NOW WITH A GREAT CHRISTIAN WOMAN AND 2 BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! |
Bible Answer: JONZSAVED This is a serious concern and one that needs to be resolved in your life. Your happiness, your present wife’s happiness and your families happiness depends on how you see yourself and your family from God’s eye. The Word says each man needs to work out his OWN salvation with fear and trembling. How do you feel about your situation? Since your a child of Lord's you should have the Holy Spirit's leading in your life. What is the Holy Spirit saying to you in this situation? How does God feel about the sins you committed before your salvation? What does II Corthintians 5:17 say about you? You need to answer these questions for yourself so you will know where you are at with the Lord. Any of us could tell you one thing but then is someone else came along and told you something different you would still have a question. The Holy Spirit was sent to us to teach us and to guide us. You need to seek His counsel not man's. Examine the word seek the leading of the Holy Spirit and I guarantee you God will provide you an answer and no man will ever be able to make you question it.
