Do you believe that a husband must of turned away from God if he has betrayed his family by having an affair?

Answer 1

If you are religious, Then here is what the Bible says. First, that we all fall short of the glory of God. Second, The devil is like a lion roaming around to see who he can devour. Third, that we must be carefull to judge, lest we be judged by the same judgement. Well to answer your question, Yes, any man that is not able to withstand temptation is because he is not rooted in the vine, (Jesus being the vine and we being the branch). But, if He falls into temptation, but repents and confesses his sin, He is forgiven. so too should we forgive. Take the story of King David in the Bible. He committed adultery, conceived a baby out of wedlock, and murdered and involved an innocent man into his plans. What did David do, found out from a prophet that he had sinned and with crys of anguish repented. I believe a man can fall into temptation and fall, but i truly believe if this man turns from evil and seeks God, then God will forgive Him, and so should we. God Bless

Answer 2

No not neccessarily. Whether somebody is using the Lords name in vain, or committing murder, or adultery, no sin is greater than the other in Gods eyes. Everybody sins, religious or not. Certainly we should try and repent and ask for forgiveness. I would suggest that it is probably more a fact that he is embarrassed about the congregation knowing, or the guilt felt when going to Church that can give the feeling of turning away from God. As we all know, temptation is a big part of our lives that we deal with in some way, shape or form every day. I dont think he has betrayed his family. More so he has risked losing his family as you know it, by his actions. We need to go back a step, and ask why was the temptation there? Sadly, over time we become complacent in our relationships, put all our effort into our children and lose the time and affection for each other in the process. That doesnt do any favors for the family, and each member is as important as each other. He probably misses the way things were before children. If we are attentive to each others needs, we will want to please, and live a happy and balanced life as a family. MAKE TIME FOR EACH OTHER. Forgive me if your situation is nothing like this, but i think you can take something out of it as i have also been through it.

Answer 3

I don't think that if you truly know God, that you can not know Him because you've done something wrong. I definitely know that if you get caught up in sinful behavior, then you don't want to face God. We want to hide from Him and sometimes that means turning our backs on those who remind us that we need Him. David is a great Biblical example of a believer who experiences the ups and downs in his relationship with God. One minute he's won the war and writing psalms and the next he's killing one of his own soldiers to get his wife for himself. If you think your husband has turned away from God, then pray that God will turn your husband around, so that he will seek Him again.

Answer 4

well I am not sure about the god part though it does go against a lot of religions ideals. He has however turned away from his family and betrayed them. It would be a very strong woman that picked herself up, pulled her family together and moved foward with her life without him. Showing her rat of a husband that she did not need him. (she would of course hire a fantastic lawyer and screw every dime out of his hide)

Answer 5

Yes he turned away from God. God would not tell him to have an affair.

Answer 6

well, he is obviously not in God's will. He is NOT doing what God would have him do. My pastor says that we are always either moving forward spiritually or backsliding. Nothing is always constant and unchanging. He is obviously NOT moving forward. It would obviously be up to the wife to decide whether or not to stay with him. Of course he can be forgiven if he was truly repentant, but it was obviously a lot of bad choices that led up to the affair and if you truely living for God, your choices and your life will be a reflection of that.HTH

Answer 7

Everyone makes mistake.. Not neccesarily becuase they turned away from God, things happen for a reason.
At the moment he is working on his testimony, and unfortuanly that involved you and your family to get hurt, just keep the faith there and pray that he (ur husband) see's what he has done and ask for forgiveness to you and to God.

Answer 8

Yes i sure do believe this very much. He needs to turn back to God and go back to his family and try to work things out and restore the marriage if at all possible. God loves him and will forgive him if he comes back to him. God loves you and so does Jesus:)

Answer 9

.God has nothing to do with your decision to betray your wife.If anything don't you think he or she or it would stop you or at best put it in your head not to do it because if you do your wife will hate the sight of you and couldn't stand you touching her ever again This is for you men out there who has or going to or thinking about cheating on your wife.We might tell you we forgive you only because we no if we don't you will keep on doing it.It is very true we can't stand you touching us or talking to us we hate you.It's more of a love hate feeling.Anyone that has been cheated on knows what I'm talking about.

Answer 10

yes. God sees the whole picture and not just the selfish feelings of individuals. the good news is that there is always a way back to God through repentence....but the road his kids will go down will not be so easily fixed. the sin we go after does not hurt only us but the people around us. sorry to hear this. best wishes.
