Hi All.
I have been struggling with one subject since coming to Christ. I will continue to pray on this but am hoping you could add some clarity.
I know the bible says that sex outside of marriage is sinful because I’ve gotten to 1 Corinthians in the New Testament and what Paul discusses regarding marriage and sexual immorality.
However,
1 Corinthians 17 NLT says Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you.
The situation I am in is living with my fiancée and his daughter who I have been a mother to for close to a year. I quit working and am financially reliant on him. I was accepted to graduate school this fall. The girls real mother is an escort/prostitute and a drunkard/coke head. Child services took her away from her mother and she was placed with her father and I almost a year ago. My fiancée is nearing the end of the divorce process with her but it has not yet been officially finalized. Him and I have been together almost two years.
My fiancée says he’s a believer because he read the bible while in jail. He doesn’t understand that it takes more than that - an actual relationship with God through Jesus and turning away from sinful behaviours (he smokes a lot of weed, is quick to anger, cheated on me in the past etc). Actually he has made fun of how absorbed I’ve been with the Bible and makes insincere comments about Jesus quite a bit.
So I’m praying for his heart to be softened to the Lord.
Not having sex with him is not an option if peace is to remain in our house.
How can I leave when I’m the only stable adult in this child’s life? Is that what Paul meant in the verse I read? Is it possible that I’m called to stay here for her sake and does that make an allowance for the sex I have with her father?
I am just so confused on this and want to please the Lord without ruining the lives of others.
though I also know the bible says to leave behind your mother father children, everything for Christ.
There is also a possibility that I’m pregnant right now though it is too early to tell. What does the bible instruct in that case?
