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: dat- I love 1 Cor. chapter 7. I have kind of been in your mess, divorced twice, and i know the forgiveness the Lord has. You have already repented of the divorce and acknowledged that it was wrong. That was the first step. Now it is time to move on. I am also married to a man, who although is Christian in the denominational sense of the word, does not understand the personal relationship of being a Christian. This is just as hard. However, since I gave my life to the Lord, repented of what I had done in my past and gave the future to Him, I have seen miracles happen in my life in my husband. It has not been easy, but trying ot live the way the Lord wants me to live, showing His love to my husband has worked changes him. By your actions, you may be working with the Lord to change your husband and bring him to a saving relationship with the Lord. I agree with EdB. Talk to your pastor. And read the bible and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! Debbie |
