Topic: Hiding a sin
Hey people.

I want to know your opinion on something. I have been thinking about this and I want to know your view and arguments, please. What would you do if you knew a man is cheating on his wife? Would you tell the wife?

Some of my friends said no, because they don't want to ruin the marriage. They say: If you don't know, it doesn't hurt you. So better the wife won't know. Let things flow, don't intervene.

Me, I think otherwise. I don't consider that me telling would ruin the marriage When the marriage bed is filthy, when there are 3 or more persons involved, not only 2, it's not a marriage anymore. The one who cheated ruined it, not me (if I would tell the partner what I know). And I only think that I should do unto others what I want others to do unto me. I would like to know, rather than live a lie and not know what my husband is doing (God forbid that happens to me).

Plus, isn't it a sin if you know someone is cheating and you hide it? I also know we have to be wise with these sensitive issues! So.. what's there to be done? What do you think?

Thanks,
Anta

I would not go to the wife. If I was a woman, and saw a man who was cheating.... I would tell my husband, or brother and let them approach the man. Speak to him about it.

Telling the wife in my opinion is gossip. It does not involve you. You should go directly to the person who is sinning. I would not advise a woman to go to a man or vise versa. Better to let a brother talk to a brother or a sister talk to a sister.

Yeah... I would confront the husband about what he is doing. Only he can be the one to choose to do what is right and decide to live according to the Bible.

What if you can not talk to that man? What if you don't know that person? I mean not personally. You know their faces, you greet them once a year when you meet and that's about it?

I think I would pray about it. If you know the wife, surely you should know the husband. :) And if not, you meet them once a year...do you have any common friends who know them better?
