Bible Question: If a man is married and commits adultery and his wife says she forgives him can she divorce 17 yrs later? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Rod... Welcome to the forum! I always try to teach my children the distinction between the words may, can, or ought. Obviously, in answer to your question "can she" we would say, "Yes." If the question were "may she" we would also say "Yes." If the question were "ought she" we would have to hesitate giving an answer. Both this man and woman should be under the counsel of godly elders, pastors, or priests. In our forum we cannot know all the particulars associated with these people. (Furthermore, our host, the Lockman foundation, wisely prefers that we not offer advice (see the Terms of Use).) These people's church elders will know them and will be able to offer sound counsel. In Him, Doc |
