Bible Question:
Dear EdB After sending my brother a letter (in love) about his attitude towards my Mormon husband, he sent me a reply. The worst thing I said in my letter to my brother was that my husband was behaving in a more Christian manner than my brother is and that he should try to love and witness to him. My brother's reply spewed venomous insults and hurtful answers. He said that I need to repent because I haven't yet. I know divorcing my first husband was wrong (not matter how he treated me) and for marrying my new husband who isn't a Christian. I have asked for forgiveness. However, my brother thinks that the only way for me to repent is to divorce my current husband. I know God isn't pleased that I married him, but I don't think God would want me to get divorced again...besides, I love my husband. My brother thinks that since my husband is in a "cult" (belongs to Satan), and that the two become one flesh, that I am of the devil as well. He said that I am either stupid/insane and don't know true love and that being married to my husband is committing adultery. He also said that I may not be saved since I did this stuff. What do you or anyone out there think of this? Please reply as soon as possible. Thanks! dat |
Bible Answer: Dear Lady First, not to be a jerk to your brother he needs to get a Bible or read the one he has. now that is harsh words and they should never be spoken because the Word of God says that we should do are best to live at peace with people if it is possible and with family it seems to be more imposible than posible. take heart Jesus has not forsaken you at all. God love sinner and his children even if they mess up. First let us deal with your brothers behavor: he, if he is right should teach with respect 2 Timothy 2 23 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, now about his really bad idea about divorcing your current husband God would not look good on that type of advice because you cover your husband spiritaly. and you are not part of the devil remember the verse that says 1 Corinthians 7 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. I hope this help you and may the peace of God thought Jesus reign in your life today and forever Bud Freshour |
