Would you help your husbands ex mistress?
If your husband had cheated on you, would God expect you to help the woman he cheated with if she was at the lowest point of her life and had no one else to help her? How would you offer help? I am looking for answers based on Christian principals please.

Wow... what a hard question.
Well I'd ask myself what would Jesus do?
When Christ was betrayed he forgave everyone including Judas Iscariot. As the supreme sacrifice for sin for all the world he forgave those who persecuted and hated him.
The Christian should forgive everyone. The husband, the woman that cheated on you and you must forgive yourself. Forgiveness is tops on the list.
The next step is to do good to your enemy. As much as you can humanely do to them. Find a way for her to get resources from your church or charity or governmental or social or voluntary groups that may help her with all of her concerns.
This is just as hard a question as it was for the church in early days had to forgive Saul the persecutor who became Paul the apostle. Of course Paul had to suffer many things for what he did to Jesus Christ and his church. Those who break the law and are forgiven by God are not allowed by God to escape the consequences of their actions. Look at what David did when he betrayed the Lord and sinned with Bathsheba.
So do as much as you can and you need not help them any more. God knows the circumstances best. God knows we are only human. That act of forgiveness and help is a spiritual one.
Pray before you do anything of course. I hope this helps in some small way.
God bless.

you're married and looking out forward to, and that i think of you have the final to do regardless of's necessary to shop your marriage! although, you will desire to be arranged for the backlash. in case you call her, she will inform your husband and he's going to combat with you and argue which you went in the back of his lower back and which you do no longer have faith him. Doing this would smash what you have already, so that's a no longer ordinary call. i might take a seat him down and ask him heavily, and if he denies it say ok, yet be very watchful and pay interest to the place he's going and what he's doing so which you would be able to seize him in lie.

Depends on what she needs, and whether I was able to provide it or not.
My ex has had so many mistresses I couldn't begin to count them all. The one that he married, I never hated as if he could deceive me for 17 years, who was I to blame her for being deceived too?

Of course you should. As a christian you should be willing to help anyone in need regardless of whether they have wronged you or not.

"answers based on Christian principals"......
Tell her that there are repercussions for breaking the Commandments.
"Thou shalt not commit adultery"
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife/husband"
