761 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | justme | 93066 | ||
DairyLeader5: This is justme. I think youintended this for GeorJoy. However I will ask do you know the difference in "putting away" and "divorce"? These two terms used in Scripture have a huge impact on knowing what Jesus was saying. If you would like I will explain it. Blessings. justme |

GerJoy: Am I to assume that you do not accept the Trinity? If you are attempting to seek ministry and love people you have a real challenge ahead. If your way of dialoguing with me, and others is any indication of what you might interact with others you are needing some personal relationship training. I doubt anything I could say you would even consider, but let me asure you there are many people just like me. When you misquote scripture, and accuse others of some very wrong things you are not dealing with reality. George, no one knows it all! I would think that if the ppeople on this Forum were not kind and caring to point out some serious things you need to think about, that we would not be telling the truth. For me it makes no problem if you insult me, or think I am a nut case. What does matter is that others see Jesus Christ living and loving others thru you to them. To me anyone who believes so dogmaticly that they know eeverything, has no need of a teacher. For those who seek and help oneanother grow in the Lord by showing love, concern, and respect. Think about this befroe you send a note telling me you will insult me more if I respond to you. You know nothing about me, and for all you know I could be what ever straw man you conger up in your mind. But, I am a child of KING JESUS, and I am sure attacking me is not His desire. If you care to be kind and respectful respond, the ball is in your court. Justme |

Charley: Dr. William Cobel New Testament Proffesor at MidWestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City Mo. was my beloved mentor in 1985. Because he was a true schollar he was able to share this with his students for many years. This was to the healing of many broken divorced people, whom I had the joy of being a pastor of healing, to those who were told they were second rate Christians, and living in a constant state of adultery. The truth does set people free. I often say those who try to add more pain to those who are so broken in spirit, have not a clue what it is to experience Jesus forgiveness. Blessings Charley. justme |

765 | unfaithfulness the unpardonable sin? | Matt 5:32 | justme | 55563 | ||
Hardness of heart on every ones part! Some feel they have missed out on someone better than what they have. Jesus did not say that unfaithfullness required dirorce! Jesus basicly was saying because you wont forgive, divorce was permitted. That's how I see it. But as long as we are human we will sin, and cause sever pain to each other. agape, Justme |

New Creature: May I suggest you do some further study or Divorce and Putting Away! Your answer is ignorant, and you presume to much without knowing all the facts. I personally find you dogmatic answer offensive, rude, and suggestive of self pride. Have you ever thought about doing a serious study before just making such a bold blanket statement? I suggest you do so in the furture. Your answer is incorrect! justme |

Morant61: Tim, I have a concern that some do not take in to consideration, what about Scripture that says that a unbeliever leaves a believer. Does not Scripture say the believer is free to marry only in the Lord? I have seen women abused emotionally by so called believers, and have ministers say they are to stay in this marriage. This is so wrong. In a time when divorced Christians are treated like second class Christians, I find two extremes. One that just is so accepting of divorce, and the other side calls anyone divorced an adulter. There is surely some better way to understand this in the eyes of Christ. I am under the opinion that David did it all. He murdered, lied, was not faithfull, and was an adulter. Yet it is said he was a man after Gods heart. I would love to have seen David meeting Uhra in heaven. If God can forgive David, then how can we not do the same? Scripture forbids a man or woman to go back to a person once a new marriage has taken place and ended. Is adultery an on going condition or a sin? How is it forgiven? I snot all sin forgiven the same way? Any thoughts are welcome. Blessings to you Tim. justme |

New Creature: 1 Corinthians 7:15-40 I think you will find the context for remarriage but to a believer only. I have seen many who were so adomint that divorced Christians were adulters, and so judged those who had been through such hell as such. Then sometime later find thenselves in the situation themselves. Then they were seeking those who had been through divorce for help. I am careful not to make such judgements on divorced Christians. I can say that those who have been divorced carry enough pain without more guilt being burdened down on them. As fro "the guilty party" there is no such thing as a non guilty party. There is plenty of blame for all to be honest. I have seen some spouses push their mate into guilt so they could be free, and "guiltless." If one is not careful this becomes so legalistic, and black and white we fail to see the gray areas of sin. NO ONE IS EVER GUILTLESS! Christ died for sinners, Paul, as a saved person still said her was one of the worst of all(sinners). Are you and I any less? justme |

Searcher56:-) Thank you for your responnse. I always appreciate hearing from you. As you statein your note number 92166 the main issue is "hardness of heart" this is Biblically based and a reason not only for divorce but all sin, in my opinion. One solution to this massive marriage failures anong Christians is that there is little help available in teh area of reconcilliation counseling. By reconcillation counseling I mean there needs to be the support and demand by Pastors and ministers that no marriage is beyond the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ! The only marriage that is beyond repair is one in which one mate has remarried. Then there is no longer any hope in reconcillation of the marriage. I am sure that if covenant marriage were the strong emphasis from the first marriage counseling session, we would see a drop in Christians involved in divorce. If there were pastors that were dogmatic that if neither mate has remarried then reconcillation counseling is the Biblical answer. As Christians in America, we have a high demand that marriage must make me happy and feel loved all the time. That is just mot how life happens! Do Christians today fail as David did? Yes they do. Does unfaithfullness demand divorce? Biblically no. From the human standpoint God knows that adultery is a burden that some can not rebuild trust, and reconcile the marriage. Is it possible to rebuild trust and a marriage if adultery has taken place? Yes, with God all things are possible, and does happen quite often. But Searcher, what if, a couple comes to you and admits they have the worst possible sinfull history you can think of? For instance, they were married to christians. They did have an adultress relationship, divorced their mated, and married each other. Now they come to you, and are finally convicted of their sin some years latter, and they have children. Now they ask you what should they do. What do we say? How does 1 John 1:9 applied here, or does it? This is a not such a unrealistic situation that has not happened to many pastors. Do we refuse this couple in attending our church? Do we tell them to divorce? Do we brake up a family with children? How does the church deal with these people? Many coupleslike this just keep quiet aand tell no one and live in guilt and shame, that is a fact. In the United states today many church attending Christian singlees are living together, at a higher rate than most would believe. This is by it's self a big reason for serious marriage problems and a high predictor of divorce. Searcher, where does it end? There is wide acceptance of all the things I have mentioned. The issue is not only hardness of heart, but a turning away from believing we will be held accountable for our lives, and that sin hardens the heart of mankind. Any thoughts? Blessings Searcher. justme |

Big Jim: Friend it is not only what we do with Romans 10:9, but 1 John 1:9. I remind you how jesus treated the woman at the well. Jesus touched that womans heart, and she became the first missionary to her own town. She had been married five times I think. Jesus forgave her, and told her what she was doing was wrong. She changed. I don't know who the person was at the church that was so uncaring, you can only grow in spite of this person. Find a church and keep your past in the past, unless you have the chance to help some other hurting person, that's my suggestion. I wish you peace and blessings Big Jim. justme |

Radioman2: The KJV correctly uses the words "put away" in Matt. 19:9. "Putting away" refers the O.T. when men would send away the wife and not give a certificate of divorce. The man could at some latter date and if she had married someone else take her back because he had just "put her away" In Malichi that is wher God said "I hate putting away". In matther Jesus said very clearly that when a wife was "put away" and she married another she was commiting adultery. Of course she was, she had no certificate of divorce! These verses have been so taken out of context and so misused. So yes God hates putting away. None the less divorce is still breaking a covenant which is very serious. Most Christians have little idea how Holy a Covenant is with God and each other. This is especially so of marriage. Justme |

Radioman2: Thank you for your response. I am aware that the majority of versions use the word divorce in this passage. This is translated as the word baptism has been. If you did a word study that might help and make this a little clearer. I am not standing up and saying divorce is good. I am saying that some have changed the intended meaning to mean more than it was intended. This is a contraversial topic and I want only to mmake a clearer point od a misunderstood custom. I mean no offence to anyone, and I appreciate your respectful way of answering, to me you show how we should dialogue. Thank you and blessings Radioman2. justme |

New Creature: Thank you for your response. First let me say the KJV does correctly use the words "put away". To "put away" is different than to divorce. These words have been ignored just as the word baptis has been. This translation allows a wider scope of interpertation. Putting away was when a man sent his wife away and dismissed her as her wife,. The woman if she remarried could be demanded back bt her first husband at anytime because he did not giver her a certificate of divorce, thus making her and the new husband in an adulter. Malichi say God hates :putting away" In the Matthew passage jesus was saying that any man who marries a "put away" woman committes adultery. That makes it very clear and is in contex with the Old Testament verses. Doing a word study will be a helpful experience. I hope this helps. I am not endorsing divorce. I am saying that this is a serious problem some have ignored and put a over burden on divorced persons, who already are against the odds of making a marriage work. Why put more weight on those who can hardly carry what they do have? Blessings New Creature. justme |

New Creature: This is a very complex study, and takes more than a few short notes to search the Word. I will give you a few verses that when taken into context does show the right to remarry. However, if someone does not agree than that is their choice. I only present this not to convience you, but as a light on those who carry the heavy burden of having been divorced. I personally believe for Christians to divorce presents some serious issues that will eventually have to be dealt with, either on this side or the otherside of Gods thrown. 1 Corinthians 7:15 says "...A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances;..." In verse 39, Paul says a that a married woman is "bound: as long as her husband lives. Keep in mind paul said in verse 15. that the believer was not "bound". The key word is "bound" Paul says also inverse 39, that the unbound woman "she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord." This does make remarriage an option for those who are unbound. These passages speak to both men and women who are unbound. Again I say that even if the very worst situation has taken place that we can imagine, then we go back to 1 John 1:9. In our current culture hardness of heart is so infused in all areas of peoples lives it is so difficult to unravel the sin filled lives of many Christians, say nothing about non-Christaian. May God grant us Wisdom in dealing with our own sin, (the plank in our eyes) as we attempt to offer to expose and remove others sin. Blessings, New Creation. justme |

New Creature:-) You have a tender spirit, and I can see you are very teachable. I am deeply touched by your growth, Praise the Lord. I thank you for allowing me to respond to your note firmly and you not attacking me, but treating me with respect and kindness. I come from the point that Hurting people hurt people. That I hope I can show Gods love, acceptance of the person, and the forgivness in Christ Jesus. Most divorced Christians live with guilt, and hurt that is very deep. I hope I can be a healing tool to the wounded. Not just the wounded in divorce situations but in life stages. I believe suffering allows us the gift to grow, and be able to help those who are suffering. My cancer allows me to be at a level playing field to talk with those who suffer in simular ways. I hope God allows me to help put on the healing balm of the Lord Jesus, and to share His love. God Bless you New Creation. justme |

Hank: As the years have passed on the SBF you have shared little bits of information about you son. No one time have I not learned some lesson, with a deep spiritual meaningn for me. There are those of us who have lost sons and daughters, who can not speak of the details. I know some who have lost loved ones to sinful lives that have torn families appart. You are deeply blessed to have comforting memories of your son, hold these tender reminders close to your heart, what a blessing! justme |
