21 | Need help with adultry and remarriage. | 1 Cor 7:11 | gospelmann | 161936 | ||
Dear kmv2h, The previous posts are excellent and I would just add a few thoughts. At the bottom of your post you sort of asked a question "if this is true", refering to the statement by the man that he is not scripturally available. There is a degree of truth in his statement. Anytime a christian enters a relationship with some one their past should always be of concern especially if a divorce occured. If you had married him and he wasn't scripturally allowed to marry then you would have been an adulter with him. I should explain to you that I am a minister in the same fellowship as his father and I can tell you from personal experience that the issue of marriage, divorce, and remarriage is one of the most debated and traumatic in the church. Many books have been written taking sides and attacking the opposing view point which you can research ,but I suggest something simpler. Pick up your Bible and read "all" the scriptures surrounding this topic and then read them again and again. The truth will come to you as to what is pleasing to the Lord. The following is some of those scriptures:Gen2:23-25,Deut22:22,Deut24:1-4,Malachi2:11-16,Math5:31-32,Math19:3-12,1cor7:10-24,11cor6:11-18. Finally you might be wondering about the very term " scripturally available". What does this refer to? In the scriptures above you will see that Jesus says that when one partner in a marriage commites adultery the innocent partner may divorce and remarry without commiting adultery. The hotly debated question is what if the guilty person repents after the divorce and remarriage of the innocent party. Is the guilty person allowed to marry again? In this question it is not about forgiveness, adultery can be forgiven. The issue is the right to marry again after repentance. All that I can say is that Jesus only gives that right to the innocent party. May God bless you in your studies. |

22 | What to do with murders on Earth? | Romans | gospelmann | 161754 | ||
I assume you are refering to what kind of punishment should be done to those who commit murder. The answer is found in the above mentioned scriptures. The conflict for christians is that we all stand in need of mercy and so we feel conflicted over punishing a crime, especially if the possible punishment is the death penalty. The Bible teaches that God has given each government the authority to punish criminals. Interestingly enough this instruction comes from Paul who was beheaded by the Romans rulers and from Peter who was crucified upside down again by those rulers. The abuses of authority does not change what the scripture teaches: Governments have the authority to determine and carry out punishment.Rom13:4 and 1Peter2:14 | ||||||
23 | Dear friend | 1 Tim 2:12 | gospelmann | 161711 | ||
To Doc and Devon, I am new to the forum and have been reading many of the past posts concerning this topic. If I might add a few thoughts. The subject of the silence of women and also the submission of women is difficult in these times but we must always emphasis that this issue is not one of value or worth of the person. Gal3;28 among others teaches us that there is no difference. My soul and the soul of my wife are of equal worth, value, and importance. Nor is this an issue of gifts or talents. The Lord doesn't need leaders who are either, if He did He would never have chosen Moses to lead His children out of Egypt.No,God chose him because of his humility, Num12:3.This same trait Jesus tells is in the children we need to immulate Math18:4. I believe the greatest sign of humility is submission. Failure to submit is probably what got lucifer thrown out of heaven. Submission was also the greatest lesson Jesus taught when He prayed in the garden "Thy will be done" Math26:39. When we come to this topic we must always point out that silence and submission are NOT for women only but for all christians, note 1cor14:30. Simply put, God has told us a pattern for the worship that is pleasing to Him and that avoids confusion, 1cor14:33,40 who am I to argue. In Christian Love |

Perhaps you are thinking of Elijah after his confrontation with the false prophets of King Ahab, he then ran and hid in a cave I Kings19:9 You might also be thinking of the instruction to "flee " found in ICor6:18 and also in ITim6:11 |
