You are correct The only Bibical grounds for divorce that I can find is reserved for adulterous circumstances. Concerning when one divorced can remarry the following Scripture seems to say, only upon death of ones spouse. To marry someone who is divorced while the spouse still lives makes both adulterers. 1 Cor. 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 1 Cor. 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. |

Dear kkid: I would disagree with New Creature. There are many carnal christians who have fallen into sin of all types. Now, I want to carefully point out I believe divorce is not an option for a christian couple. Adultry is not a reqired for divorce, niether is it grounds for divorce. What is at the root of divorce? Pride and hardness of heart, pure sin! God hates sin! But loves the sinner. I would suggest that any couple can work out anything! "IF" they are willing to forgive and seek Gods will. That my friend is the problem. Sad but in a day when instant gratification is "a personal right" and no one is willing to pe patient and let God work, which may take several years. Usually one goes their own way and unites with a nother person. At that point there is no way to reunite the couple. What now? Does not God forgive all sin the same way? You would be free to remarry, but only a christian. One word of caution, most second marriages fave a failure rate double that of first marriages. I would suggest some heavy duty counseling with a very well qualfied degreed christian counselor. If you don't find out you what you failures were, you are certian to repeat them, with someone new. Marriage is a covenant, the higest form of contract. Be very certian you walk with God is seeking healing, and it may well not be possible for you to heal to the point you can remarry. Paul tells us marriage hampers our ability to serve Christ. Any person who feels incomplets being single has some issues to work at. We are not completed by the person we marry, but become joiny partners for life, and Christ. Hope this helps. agape, justme |

I wanted you to think about your position a little more. To just make a blanket statement, with out thinking about the complete contex is stern. I think you are open to growth and wanted you to see things from a more mercyfull position. I do appreciate your brevity but sometimes a longer answer is needed. Peace. justme |

I take a Bibical stand and position. What God's word says I refuse to dilute or water down to make it say what others would prefer to hear. Thats why I provided the Scriptural support | ||||||

Dear New Creature: There is no one who takes a deeper stand or position on scripture than me. That I know personally. I assure you. True, you gave a limited perspective of your view. However, my Friend you are lacking in Word study. With out getting to the root word meaning you only have half or less the information you need. Might I suggest getting A.T. Robinson's 7 volume set of the New Testament, or at least VINES EXPOSITORY DICTIONARY OF NEW TESTAMEN5T WORDS. When you give advice and use scripture to back your view up I would think you would want to be as correct as possible. Friend you were not! There was PUTTING AWAY, which was the verb, used by Jesus when in Matthew he says Jesus hates divorce. That word divorce is putting away. Sending a man or woman away with out a certificate of divorce. The word Divorce which is apoluo the verb, used in Matthew 1:19 and 19:3,-7-9 Mark 10:2,4,11, and Luke 16:18 The Lord used it of the case of the wife putting away the husband. This was done by the romans, not among the Jews. The noun used by Jesus was apostasion, which denotes a writing or bill of divorcement. Found in Matthew 5:31 19:7, Mark 10:4, and in the Sept., duet.24:3, Isa.50:1, Jer. 3:8 amd I suggest reading lCor. 7. where it addresses people married to non christians, and every issue. When you condem someone to a life of lonleiness, with having full knowledge of what the scripture says in its complete menaing, that Friend is not Godly advice. Now if you have learned anything that is well and fine, However if you are still as stern in your understanding as before, let me say this. I have seen such judgemental christians litteraly eat their words in the most painful way you can imagine. I would suggest to you that truth without love is as bad as love without truth. I ask you how does your truth show love, mercy, and how has your truth shown anyone that God can forgive any one of anything? To be very blunt it shows a lot of anger and self pride. God did not make you or me the judge of anyone but ourself! Awake Friend the church is full of hurting sinners who need to be released from the bondage of guilt that has then so bound up they have almost given up on the church and Gods mercy. I ask you to pray and ask Christ to show you the true way to show His love to a hurting world. I have been very direct and open with you. I normally do not take the time to dialouge with a person who was so staunch in their view. I felt the Lord leading me to try and open your eyes to a better way. In christian love I submit this to you friend. I hope it was worth my time. agape, just me |

Dear New Creature. I am saddened by you responce. Do you think that eeven in 1611 the King James Bible translators did not use evry avalible schollary resource? For your growth information Vines and A.T. Robertson are tools that every greek scholar is fimular with. Young, Strong, and others have given a lifetime of study that you and I could never duplicate! These men were Solidly convicted Scripture was the final authority for all faith and practice! What makes feel they were not? If you so choose to lable these Christian men than it is to your loss. Basic translation from Greek to English in exact percise perfect word for word is very difficult at best. But I am sure you know that. No one knows it all about the Bible or its total meaning. Might I suggest you be a little more kinder in responding. I am hoping to share my views, if you are not interested just say so. agape justme |

Has not God promised us that the Holy Spirit, will guide and teach us? (John 14:26 and 16:13. Is He not sufficient and trustworthy? Or do we now need to trust faliable men to teach us? Do we not have a Divine teacher, a trustworthy teacher, matter of fact the only trust-worthy teacher in the Holy Spirit? 1 John 2:27 states that if we have the annointing of the Holy Spirit upon us, we need not that any man teach us. This once again proves that the Holy Spirit and the word of God are all the trusting one needs. And is in fact the only truly reliable source that can be ultimately trusted. |
