If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
1 Corinthians 71 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. 9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. 21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

Once a divorce has been decreed, and marrying another has been consummated; how does one repent from it and still maintain a sense of peace?
By agreeing with God what was done was wrong, ask for forgiveness and move on. The agreeing is more than a mere thought, but a deep conviction regarding the truth. If one simply goes "Well I got a divorce and remarried, BTW God, please forgive me so I can get on with my life" we would have to question the sincerity of that asking.
Two wrongs doesn’t make a right.
When we are wrong acknowledging that wrong and owning up to it brings us to Jesus with a right heart regarding the subject. This is not a salvation issue, but a clean vessel issue, for the vessel does get dirty living in this world int he fallen flesh.
So with the philosophy derived from a sin consciousness, rather than a righteousness consciousness; one will live under self-condemnation for the rest of their lives.
I have to disagree. It is not an either or, but a both. We are aware of the things that displeases God and the things that please God. We have the liberty to choose which way we want to live. God calls us to holiness and our flesh calls us to sin ... what will our spirit say and do is the question.
I believe there must be a balance somewhere so as to live a life peacefully after committing a sinful act.
I believe true peace can only be found in Jesus. At the same time a life that does not align with Him will be unsettled for as long as it is out of alignment. One cannot simply do as they will and then move on as if nothing has happened. If I have committed an act of sin I must own up to it and then move past it. The problem for some is that they believe they can sin and then simply dismiss it as if there are no consequences for sin in this life.
...even when I over eat food that I really like, knowing I will suffer the consequences of it later that night.
Amanda,
The word "philosophy" stands out. We aren't living by any philosophy, are we?
We all have a, or our own philosophy, it’s like looking through a hole, our point of reference: the way we see “the world, or things”. We evaluate things from our point of reference, when we study a subject we are looking for truth, or a meaning.
We will see Philosophy, Love, and Wisdom, differently, when looking at it from a secular point of view, than we would from a religious POV. And if I might say so, it will even look differently from the New Creation perspective, especially when we understand what a New Creation means.
Philosophy is made up of 2 Greek words, “Philosophia”, meaning Love, or some say “brotherly love”, and “Sophia” meaning “Wisdom”. Vines definition of Wisdom Gk. Sophia, is the insight into the true nature of things. And is used most of the time; throughout the New Testament. Another word for Wisdom is “phronesis”
Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old Testament and New Testament Words. Note: "While Sophia is the insight into the true nature of things, phronēsis is the ability to discern modes of action with a view to their results; while Sophia is theoretical, phronēsis is practical" (Lightfoot). Synesis, "understanding, intelligence," is the critical faculty; this and phronēsis are particular applications of Sophia.
Greek Philosophia "love of knowledge, pursuit of wisdom; systematic investigation," from philo- "loving" (see philo- ) + Sophia "knowledge, wisdom," from sophis "wise, learned;" of unknown origin.
So when one has a “sin conscience” will study and learn, and see from that perspective or “point of view”. While one with a “righteous conscience” will study or see and have a different perspective. Creating his/her philosophy. The way you study, learn, or look for truth. “Knowledge, Wisdom”.
Col. 2:8 KJV
Beware lest any man “spoil” GW. (Be careful not to let anyone rob you {of this faith} through a shallow and misleading philosophy. Such a person follows human traditions and the world’s way of doing things rather than following Christ.) you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
