Question for Christians...?

Question

My aunt got divorced about a year ago. She is now dating another guy. If she marries him then she is living in a state of adultery.

Should I worry about her soul? I mean if she remarries and dies before repenting wouldn't her soul be condemned to an eternity in Hell?

Please, don't tell me only God knows just give me your opinion. I just want to know if I should be worried and if you think she would go to Hell for not repenting.

If she doesn't repent what do you think will happen to her?

I know I've already asked I just want to get one more round of answers from different people.

Answer 1

Don't you have enough to worry about already? Why add to your worries by being afraid of what will happen to imaginary souls?

Sadly, I see that people are going to indulge themselves here rather than take your question seriously. Life is too valuable for you to take it so lightly. Just because everyone else jumps off a cliff doesn't mean that you have to as well: stand up against the peer/media pressure and forget about the "souls" and "hell" stuff.

Answer 2

If your aunt is indeed a Christian Then her soul is secure. She may commit a sin but she is forgiven. Jesus died for our sins past present and future. All humans are sinners. The only difference between a Christian and a non-christian is We as Christians are forgiven sinners. Just because she fits the definition of an adulteress in your opinion. It does not mean she has created some huge unpardonable sin. In God's eye all sin is equal. Murder is no worse than lying..ect. Think about how hard it would be to keep track of every little sin you commit and suppose you were speeding (a sin because you broke the law) and forgot to confess and repent do you think as a Christian you are going to Hell? I don't and I don't think your aunt will either. As I said earlier Jesus died for our sins past,present and future we are cover by his blood.

Answer 3

I would say even for the strictest of views it depends on the case if he abandoned her then the sin is on his shoulders if there was abuse then "Amen" to his authority look it up if he would not serve God again it's not her fault and many times a woman will not tell her family about the true reason why it isn't a open and shut case there is a different situation every time.
The important thing to know is that God is her Father and dose not want her to fail he will work with her himself could be this is just the path he wanted for her keep praying and let God take it from here.

Answer 4

This is between your aunt and God. There is nothing that worrying will change.

Re marriage is not the issue. There are issues of why the first marriage terminated. Adultry is about human sexual relations, so your aunts current situation with her "date" would be at question, not her marital status.

Basically, once the adultry is committed, it cannot be undone, and I know you do not want this in your answer, but only God knows what is in your aunts heart and what has or has not happened. The bible tells us we are not to judge anothers status or relationship with God.

What you can do is pray for your Aunts salvation if she is not a believer, and if she is a believer, you can pray for her continued growth and relationship with God.

Answer 5

It would be commiting adultery, but most forms of confession are general, confessing "all" the sins which one has done or left undone, this is because many things we do we are blinded by our evil desires of our bodily hearts to realize they are sins. So as long as she has been absolved regularly at a church service she is forgiven.

The only way she would be unrepentant is if she has forsaken her first marriage altogether (since it was a commitment to her husband and God) and if she marries this guy without consulting or including God in her vows.

Answer 6

If your aunt is a Christian...no she will not go to Hell.

Did she divorce for marital unfaithfulness? If so, she has every right to remarry. For any other reason, she is allowed to divorce, but she is not allowed to remarry without committing adultery and causing her partner to commit adultery. If she does remarry, she does not lose her salvation; however, to continue sinning will affect your fellowship with God. She is indeed sinning if she remarries for reasons other than marital unfaithfulness, but the sins will affect her blessings on earth. She may struggle with this new relationship and it may cause her extreme grief and destress, but rest assured, she has not compromised her salvation.

Answer 7

Hi - thanks for a sincere question. I went through a divorce and got remarried, but it was within God's grace. My new wife and I studied it carefully and spoke to our Pastor.
The specific scripture is in 1 Corinthians Chapter 7. Read it, and ask your aunt to do the same before she marries.
There are certian circumstances where God does not hold you back from remarriage including when you have been abused, negelcted, had a spouse commit adultery....
He does not want us to suffer and live like that - and that is widely misunderstood.

Answer 8

According to Christian mythology, Jesus himself condemns such behavior in the strongest possible terms. I like to remind Fundamentalists who are on spouse number three or four of this,it usually shuts em up for a second before they get really upset.

Answer 9

It depends on the reason for Divorce. Was it in line with the word of god? Your biggest concern is answered by prayer. If she is in sin then pray for her to realize her condition. We should all be worried about the souls of people in sin however; god allows for us to make our own decisions. Is she a christian? maybe she does not know of her condition.

Answer 10

Of course you should worry about her soul.

She's is in serious danger of making a big mistake and committing a serious sin.

Tell her about your concerns in a low key way, and see how she responds.

If she goes ahead anyway, keep praying for her.

Things are never over until they're over. So long as there is life, there is hope,
