where in the bible is the scripture about forgiving an adulterous wife?

Question

I remember reading it a few times, it was something along the idea lines of forgive your wife and have sex with her to reconnect you...any idea? anyone?

First off, I remember When Jesus was asked if it is okay to divorse, and Jesus relies, Dont you know God hates divorse.... and then they ask about adultry and He responds by saying that then it is allowed only because of the hardness of the heart... I do know there is a story and the man is told to forgive his wife...by the way I didnt have an affair I am asking for other reasons

Answer 1

Mark, like Matthew (Mt 19:3-9), recorded Jesus’ statements to the Pharisees regarding divorce and quoted Christ as saying: “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if ever a woman, after divorcing her husband, marries another, she commits adultery.” (Mr 10:11, 12) A similar statement is made at Luke 16:18, which reads: “Everyone that divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he that marries a woman divorced from a husband commits adultery.” Taken alone, these verses seem to forbid all divorce by Christ’s followers, or at least to indicate that a divorced individual would not be entitled to remarry except after the death of the divorced marriage partner. However, Jesus’ words as recorded by Mark and Luke must be understood in the light of the more complete statement recorded by Matthew. He includes the phrase “except on the ground of fornication” (Mt 19:9; see also Mt 5:32), showing that what Mark and Luke wrote in quoting Jesus on divorce applies if the ground for procuring the divorce is anything other than “fornication” (por·nei′a) committed by the unfaithful marriage partner.

A person is not Scripturally obligated to divorce an adulterous though repentant marriage partner, however. The Christian husband or wife may extend mercy in such a case, even as Hosea seems to have taken back his adulterous wife Gomer and as Jehovah extended mercy to repentant Israel that had been guilty of spiritual adultery.—Ho 3.

Answer 2

This might be the scripture you are talking about.

The prophet Hosea was instructed to cry out against the sins of God's people, and he neither compromised nor spared priests or laymen in the process. But he was led through a symbolic experience that prepared him to understand God's feelings (as the one sinned against), and to appreciate the depth of God's mercy in forgiving Israel. He was told to take a wife from among the ungodly population. She was unfaithful to him, and bore children which were not his own. Her sin was denounced, and she was rejected and punished. But then, God told him to take her again, buying her at a price. Their conjugal relations were not immediately resumed, but eventually restoration was complete. Read the first three chapters of Hosea, and see Homer Hailey's comments in Commentary on the Minor Prophets. Mercy and forgiveness, even at great cost, are attributes of the Heavenly Father, and of his children.

Answer 3

the talk come from the very shown actuality that the former testomony books of the regulation were written with out vowels punctuation or areas between words. In Deuteronomy 24:a million-4 it isn't sparkling no matter if any uncleanness signifies that you'll be able to divorce your spouse for any element you don't love or does it propose that you'll be able to divorce her in case you hit upon out that she become no longer a virgin once you married her. at the same time as ask Jesus agreed with the 2d determination that fraud turned right into a valid reason to divorce your spouse. someone that isn't keeping the criteria to stay in civilized society must be pushed out even if when you're married to them. in case you divorce your major different for frivolous causes the divorce isn't valid and also you're nonetheless married if the divorce is for valid causes you're loose to marry.

Answer 4

Do you mean the story of Jesus forgiving the woman caught in the very act of adultery? If so it's in the Gospel of John chapter 8.

Answer 5

When Jesus speaks to the woman at the well. In the Old Testament, the punishment for adultery was death. Jesus came and changed things around. I don't know the specific verse (atm), but check the back for refernces to well or Jesus at the well.

Answer 6

It doesn't. In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Paul offers a list of sins that will keep a person out of Heaven. Among them is homosexual behavior. However, also listed among these is adultery.

Answer 7

I think you are confused. Adultry is adultry however, I figure if God can forgive any sin, so can I. Go to God in prayer. He will forgive you, He is the only one that counts!

Answer 8

The bible says that all who divorce are adulterers and should be put to death.

Unless, of course, the man simply finds something "unfavourable" in his wife, in which case he can divorce her on a whim and still be fine.

Answer 9

Jesus says we should always forgive, but for spouses God has allowed one to divorce if they can not forgive their spouse for adultery.

Answer 10

I do know that's the only reason a couple should divorce
