SMS Q's divorce and adultery 3

How do we deal with parents that have been divorced and now happily married with a Christian partner. Is this wrong?

Another good question. All people, including Christians, do sinful things. However, that is not a good reason for a Christian to marry a non-Christian. Christians know that is wrong, unhelpful and potentially disastrous. But in our messy world sometimes non-Christian people get divorced and later end up married to people who become Christians. According to 1 Corinthians 7 Paul says if the non-Christian partner wants to remain married then remain married. Sometimes, Christians marry non-Christians. Sometimes it isn’t disastrous. And the same principle for Corinthians would apply.
