Circumcision may be nothing Christine.You can only do it once. Adultery
on the other hand , can be, and in this case is, continual sin. Those
who live in continual sin when they know that it is wrong are not
following Christ; they are living in rebellion to His command. There is
no forgiveness unless they turn from their sin to Christ. There are no
new creatures with old natures. I know that sounds harsh, and I wish I
could find a loophole. I had to break fellowship with a brother I love
over this same situation.

Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] What counsel would you offer?
I was reading 1 Corinthians 7, not particularly
thinking of this topic, but I read this about
circumcision:
1 Cor. 7:18 - Is any man called being circumcised? let
him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in
uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
And then verse 19 says how circumsision is nothing,
and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the
commandments. I was wondering: does this verse apply
to this situation at all? If the two were unsaved when
they were divorced and then remarried, and then get
saved while in this second relationship, it doesn't
sound right to divorce again, just as someone
circumsised should not be uncircumsised after coming
to Christ. Why not accept forgiveness and begin to
walk afresh?
And I have a question: does King David's example apply
to this situation? Or was that different?
What do you all think? This is a difficult issue.
Blessings!
