Bible Question:
A friend of mine and I were discussing the Terry Shiavo case and debating whether or not Michael Shiavo committed adultery with the woman he was living with and had children with before his wife Terry died. Assuming this woman was "Biblically Single", what verse(s) in the Bible define Michael Shiavo's relationship with this woman as adultery. we have noticed how people make assumptions about what is and what is not in the Bible without knowing the facts. Fact: The Old Testament(Deu 22:23-24) defines adultery in terms of the marital status of the woman - not the man. If any man (married or single) has sex with a woman who is the wife or fiance of another man, it is called adultery. Fact: Mat 19:9 calls it adultery when a man divorces his wife for reasons other than fornication and marries another. It also states that adultery has occurred when any man marries a woman who is divorced. So with this background in mind, what verse(s) in the Bible would define Michael Shiavo's relationship with the "other woman" as adultery? Again remember the assumption is that she was "Biblically Single"(never married or engaged to another man). |
Bible Answer: JuanMas: I couldn't help but notice that virtually ALL of your 28 posts are Questions, Answers and Notes about marriage and divorce. I wonder why all this emphasis on one subject. Is there something you are wanting to know about divorce? Or is there something about divorce that you want to tell us? This is no criticism of you. I'm just wondering what is the basis of your fascination with Scriptures pertaining to marriage, divorce, and adultery? Would you like to have more information on what the Bible teaches about marriage, divorce and adultery? Or were you hoping that the Scriptures could be interpreted to justify a course of action someone wants to take or has already taken? In short, I wonder what you're getting at with all your posts about the same subject, marriage and divorce. Again, I intend no criticism of you. Just trying to figure out what it is you want. Grace and peace, Kalos |
