Adultery Questions 01/03/20 (Fri) 01:32:02 647d66 No.11816

Biblically speaking, does the victim in an adulterous marriage have an obligation to divorce, an option to divorce, or an obligation not to?

If a spouse demonstrates intent to commit adultery but it doesn't happen, is that the same as committing the act? Suppose a wife signs up for a dating app and the husband finds out. Should or can he leave her?

The victim has the option to divorce, not the obligation. Divorce was something God permitted due to the hardness of men's hearts…but one who is considering such a move should be seeking the LORD in the matter first to know HIS will.

If it is just this, then the husband should pray that the same does not happen to him. "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26:41)

BTW, sometimes a woman has seemingly adulterous behaviour because instinctively she wants her husband to be jealous. Jealousy makes the husband more caring and at the same time more masculine, so the woman feels secure.

Unless you live in a country where divorce court is in favor on women overwhelmingly, no man should tolerate this from their wife even if it is a s— test and should divorce his wife as she is being clear in her actions that she is seeking an adulterous relationship

It's really up to the husband. He can choose to forgive her, or trade her in for a new wife.

Definitely not this. Divorce and remarriage is adultery.

Matthew 5:32 New International Version (NIV)

32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

So trade her in for a new wife.

Sorry my man but that's just not how Christianity works. If that were the case, then boi, we'd be completely out of luck regarding the marriage offer the Father has extended to us regarding His Son.

Christianity is about joining the Son in Self-Sacrifice that the Father's Will would be complete. So, seeing as Jesus said that even /looking/ at a person with lust in your heart is adultery, it would seem that either divorce should always be happening (which is simply not how the Scriptures talk about it) or "intent" is not enough and rather the full action must be performed.

There's never an obligation to divorce Anon 01/16/20 (Thu) 04:34:24 0560fb No.12047

Technically Jesus is our example, and He went Self-Sacrifice unto death even through a whole variety of people beating Him, mocking Him, and torturing Him. So, no, there's never an obligation to violate a covenant that's been made before God (which is why Paul warns so strongly against marriage. It's a very serious matter.).

So, again, "should he leave her?" No. "Can he leave her?" Yes, but it would be sin for him to do so (Jesus explains that the man who divorces his wife without her having committed adultery then causes her to commit adultery upon her remarriage. In simpler terms: God holds you accountable for her adultery if you divorce her without a fully legitimate reason. Furthermore, you will be committing adultery with you remarry.).

Now, two things.

1. Maybe you should try marriage counseling rather than bouncing out like this? The fact that you've come here to ask if it's okay to get divorced stands as very strong evidence that you can make a variety of changes in your life and heart to repair your relationship with your wife so that she's not feeling so empty that she needs to look elsewhere.

2. If she's walked away from the Lord, and she asks to divorce you, then 1 Cor. 7 might apply. However, technically, that verse is talking about when they were married /before/ salvation and only /one/ of them has gotten saved. This is very different from a married, Christ-following couple that then one of them falls away. Therein, your automatic reaction, even if she actually commits adultery, should be to help her be restored, rather than to try to leave asap.

So, all of that to say, live in the Fear of the Lord. Remember that you will be accountable for literally every little thing, meaning that, even if you're not punished, because of Christ, you're reward in heaven will be far less than it could have been because of your negligence.

Frankly, the entire way that this question is phrased shows a self-serving mentality from the man that is entirely unChristlike and void of the fruits of the Spirit. If you're asking this for yourself, or a friend, rather than just as a fun "what if?," you or your friend need to go have a very serious conversation with the Lord and likely some accountability partners.

Don't get too Sola Scriptura about divorce.

Considering scripture doesn't premit divorce save for adultery I'd say you're pretty safe going sola scriptura

If you have reason to suspect that your wife is committing adultery, you can (and I say SHOULD) divorce her.

I have a theory. Here it is.

First, lets consider the word Adultery. If you pick a dictionary and read the meaning of "to Adulterate", you will find that it means to mix pure substance with a lesser substance. Pic related. With that context we could even argue that race mixing is adultery, but lets not jump there for now. With that meaning in mind, lets read Matthew 5:32 again.

32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

On what logic, screwing a divorced woman is adultery? We know that she had already at least one sexual partner. If we consider that adultery means mixing, and add to it the hidden knowledge of women carrying the DNA of all previous partners in them, it all starts to make sense.
