Re: Is divorce a sin if no one was unfaithful?
If two believer's are married and one commits adultery, are they still a believer?

I have thought about this before, the first (lust of the heart) may be months or even years before the actual act occurs. Does all that time count or just the latter part?

Re: Is divorce a sin if no one was unfaithful?
Since divorce is being discussed opinions on this case. A woman commits adultery in marriage. Then she gets saved. Are they considered now to be a new creation and its under the blood of Christ?
Or or they still accountable to the teaching of "whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery"?

Maybe neither. I don't believe lust qualifies as a reason for divorce. Nor do I believe a Christian becomes an unbeliever by a single act. I have never had to deal with this situation but it seems to me that if a spouse does commit adultery that there should be room for forgiveness by God and the other spouse. When one chooses to turn from God and live a lifestyle of sin he becomes an unbeliever. If repentance an about face then so is becoming an unbeliever.

Oh my goodness. So a woman has a husband that physically abusing her. No adultery just physical abuse. According to your position she has to stay with him. I am a pastor and my doctrine can be summed up in one phrase: IF HE IS BEATING YOU: LEAVE HIM.
