Bible Answer: Greetings and welcome - while you and I and many other folks may read God's Word and discover that He warns us to abstain from sex outside of marriage (fornication), yet until the individuals who are involved recongize that this is rebellion against God, there is really nothing you can do. The Holy Spirit does the convicting; He does not need any help. My best advice is for you to pray without ceasing for this couple, that God would open their eyes to the reality of their living situation in HIS eyes and that they would desire to honor Him in their relaitonship with one another. You can be a supportive friend and encourage them to see for themself what God's Word has to say. I would direct you to the instance of adultery in 2 Sam 11 - God's Word is very clear about the sin of sex outside of marraige - remember that our relationship to God is described in marital terms. We are the "Bride" of Christ - and yet how often does He find us "sleeping with the devil?" Sober thoughts here! Blessings, mommapbs |
