What does God say about it? though I quite understand that it isn't an easy one to answer. But it is the one you need to! And I suspect in practice that you do need to tell her that you are a BL. And taking an even less popular line - if she has a son, was she married before? If so is it right for her to break her vow before God to 'forsake all others' - even if he has? There is a consistent line of interpretation that argues that is what Jesus was getting at when he discourages the remarriage of divorces, and Paul's command, quoting Jesus, (I Cor 7 v 10) gives even less wriggle space. It's not a trivial issue; it is logically self consistent to allow the remarriage of divorcees and gay relationships - it is hard work to justify one but not the other (as a depressingly large number of liberal protestant churches do these days) |
