What verses apply to a Christian wife who was a fornacator before she was married? Also, I am unsure of my husband's salvation. He ato have accepted Christ before we married but I'm not sure of his salvation? His response to my questions are now always answered with claims of disbelief in the Bible being the absolute word of God because it was written by so many different men. We go in circles over this. I try to point out that here's where faith comes into play. We go back to "Well, I believe in God but ", and you know how the rest of this conversation goes. I've given this over to the lord because I have no other options. I have shown him scriptures and explained in every way I know. He is stubborn and I am as well, however I will not argue the point and I will end the discussions because I refuse to try and force this on him. He knows my faith is not something to be played with. I will not bicker or play childish games about it. He knew all of this before we even discussed marriage. Incase you're wondering, we are going on 14 yrs. This has been a journey I could NEVER have imagined! Word to the wise, WAIT WAIT WAIT! on your answer from God, even if you're scared to death it's not going to be what you want to hear. Do not assume His silence is His approval. We know God's voice when we hear it. It's worth the wait, in more ways than you ever think, dream or hope for. Even if you don't get the answer you want; believe me, it will be the answer you will be endlessly and abundantly grateful for (Like that one back in school who broke your heart, the one you look back on and think -Thank God that they got away!). Our heavenly father wants to give us his very best and not clean up our "HELP ME JESUS!",mess! LOL Just came up with that one.
Thank you so much for your time and help. All of God's blessings appon you and yours!
The fact that the Bible was written by so many different men over such a long period of time and has a strong common thread running all the way through it, speaking of man's sinful condition & God's intervention to deal with it, should prompt him to think, 'maybe there's something to this.' Maybe, he's never read the Bible in that way, & just picked out some supposed problems/errors & concluded that everything about the Bible is false. But you state, 'his belief that the Bible is not the absolute Word of God'. So maybe, he accepts the Bible but also feels that other extra-biblical documents are also valid. Maybe you could expand, if you care to, on exactly where your husband's problem lies with the Bible.
In any case, be in much prayer for him, as I'm sure you are, & just trust the Lord for His Light to shine on him that will expose & remove that veil of darkness. The Lord's blessings & help upon you both, not just for God's Truth to be your joint personal possession but that by it, your marriage will also reflect God's Work of Peace & Love in your hearts. For it's only God's Word that can set us free & given by His Living Word, Jesus Christ.
Hello Bee V. Thank you for sharing all that is on your heart, especially your agony over your husband's spiritual state.
But to your first question: "What verses apply to a Christian wife who was a fornacator before she was married?" I'm assuming that the woman in question wasn't a believer at the time of her indiscretions. But even if she was a believer, almost all sin is forgivable when truly repented of & cast aside, as we read in 1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." And as Paul & Barnabas urged the Gentiles to "turn from these vanities (sins of idolatry & false worship) & turn unto the living God" ( Acts 14:15). Forgiveness from God comes when we repent of our sins & purpose in our heart to turn from them.
And then to your husband, and particularly the state of his soul before God & his disbelief in the authority & veracity of the Scriptures. This is always a hard area to deal with as once a person has in his mind that something is false, then any proof given may well be rejected. However, I would base my discussion with him on: on what basis was he saved (just from a man's word, or from that word that originated from the Bible)? If he has doubts about the Bible, then he should have doubts about his salvation, the reality of God & Jesus, & in fact much of history of that time. Onto Page 2.
