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: It is quite true, what has been stated. Ask for people's opinion and you will get a variety. The result is that you conclude there are differences of opinion on this matter. You feel free to pick one of them or to come up with your own. The other alternative is to go directly to the word of God and trust the Holy Spirit to interpret it for you. If you are saved, then you do have the Holy Spirit. By all appearances you also know some of the word of God. Read it some more. Ro 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? Ro 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Ro 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. |
