Hi all,
Completely hypothetical and based on a situation that has happened to someone I know that isn't a Christian.
If someone who isn't a Christian gets married, divorced (for unbiblical reasons), remarried to someone else, and then comes to faith, what is the proper response to the sin of being married to someone else while being divorced for reasons of, what we can call, inconvenience?
Would staying married to the second person be considered adultery and then show that the person isn't truly showing spiritual fruit? Would God consider the divorce valid if it was done as a non-Christian? Would he be expected to care for this new spouse even though it could potentially be sinful?
Like I said, this is just a random hypothetical and an interested in seeing what scripture may have to say about this in case this example ever came to fruition in anyone I know.
