Question:<\/p>\n
What should the pastor do when\u00a0two church members want to marry, but when they were asked, they confessed that they had sexual relations before marriage?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
My opinion is that they should\u00a0marry\u00a0to enter into the covenant of \u00a0marriage and thereby legalize their relationship before\u00a0God and men.<\/p>\n
The pastor (priest) must keep the secret of their confession,\u00a0rebuke them, urge them to repentance from heart and purity\u00a0and\u00a0immediately to\u00a0start seriously study the Scriptures so\u00a0that these Christians may\u00a0grow in faith and may\u00a0not\u00a0somehow be enticed to commit adultery again\u00a0outside marriage. Their sin of fornication has already drawn\u00a0judgment on them\u00a0them and they will suffer the consequences that will begin to emerge sooner or later.<\/p>\n
The course \u201cMarriage without regrets\u201d is an urgent need to be studied with this couple who had sexual relations before their marriage.<\/p>\n
