2261 | Christian man wants to remarry | 1 Corinthians | justme | 170186 | ||
Friend: I have read what others have said to you. I have delt with several divorced couples that came to me asking me to marry them. Kalos, and I are of the same opinion. My understanding of Scripture is when we come to Christ we are New. God has a high standard for a Christian marriage, which yours was not,(as you state) your ex wife had no business to marry you if she was a Christian. You have made confesion that you broke the marriage vows, its over. I have concerns as to how the woman you want to marry, came to be divorced. If she just walked away because she just didn't love her husband any more than I think that presents a problem. You both need some Biblical counseling to see if you are really Biblically able to be married, (on her part.) If her divorce was Biblical, then start premarrage counseling. I do not mean three or four times with the pastor, I mean three months worth. As second marriages for you both the odds of this marriage falling apart are more than staying together. Please take that very seriously. All divorce is caused by hardness of heart. Make sure to keep a tender heart, and together ask God to put you both in the center of His will, no matter what that is. Blessings. Justme |

Welcome to the Bible Study Bible Forum PutGodFirst! 1 Corinthians 6:14 to 20, and in Hebrews 13:4 there is a very direct warning about keeping our selves pure for the marriage bed. There are are many things to consider before YOU decide about attending this wedding, it's not a simple answer. I can say as a parent, this is an agonizing decision to make when your adult children have become sexually involved before the marriage. This heart ace has been experienced by so many Christian parents and their Christian adult children. The sin of immorality is accepted as mormal in our world today, the Church is often aware but remains silent as to not offend it's member or family. Have you ever spoke to this man or woman with Scripture to tell them what they were doing was wrong? Often people judge the sinner but never cronfront the person with the Biblical proof that what the person is doing is sin. I wish I could say that the answer to attend the wedding is a simple answer, for me it is not. A Clergy person is at times cronfronted with a couple who are Christians who have been immoral and find there is a baby on the way. Some Clergy will not marry the couple. But, is it better to take the time and give Biblical counseling about marriage, and get the couple off on a repented start together? I think the last option is better. That is not to say the sin is white washed away. Recently I read that about 50 percent of Christian brides are with child on their wedding day! I used to think it might have been the churches fault in not teaching Biblical morals. Now I am more convienced that it has more to do with what the Kids ore taught in school, the TV they watch, music they listen to all say recreational sex is good and fun, and it's ok. One has only to go into Christian homes and look at channels the Cable TV or Direct TV has to understand that Christians are being seduced by inviting such entertainment in their homes. There is not one person that can justify having HBO, Showtime, or these movie channels. They use the name of God in vain, use rotten gutter language, and ever immoral sexual idea is presented as good! I would be willing to bet the majority of Christians have these type of filth in their homes. We live in a world that is sin sick, and we have forgotten what the Lord expects of us, to flea sexual sin. I am sure that you ask the Lord to direct you path you will come to the answer. Perhaps this couple now see they were wrong. However if they flaunted their immorality and are getting married out of it's the right thing to do now that we have enough money, I would no6t attend, and I would sent a note saying why I would not be coming. Hope this helps a little. justme |

PutGodFirst: I would encourage you to consider this painful choice. Perhaps attending and saying he has made the rught choice now, just might open the door for recconcilation. This is a huge major event in their life. Tell them what you did in the past was sinful, and wrong, but we pray you are making the correct choice now. Perhaps not attending might push him and his bride farther away from Christ. Your attending just might show them that there is forgiveness, because you are showing that they too can find the same in Christ. | ||||||

PutGodFirst: You emotional amd spiritual pain is very vivid. By what you have said I wonder if your son is genuinely born again. I have never seen a parent who did not attend a childs wedding, for such reasons, even mend the hurt feelings. To not attend may do more emotional damage to you, and drive the two of them even further from Christ. Have you and your husband sat down and prayed together about this? I believe husband and wife parying together is far less a practice than anyone could think. I think it is seldom if ever that couples pray together. My wife and I have seen so much happen when we pray together. We are retired, and we live 24, 7 together and this will put any marriage to the test. If couples just could understand how asking God together for winsdom and the way to show others mercy, grace, and Christian love, and to remember that how we forgive others is reflected in our own forgiveness. We will pray for you and your husband as well your son and bride to be. Blessings. justme |

Hank: Your words are so kind and tender, sweet to the soul. What a great gift you have, the mastering of putting English words together in such beauty and love. I honestly admire your wisdom and kindness. Mrs. Justme and I have faced several pivotal points that either required a huge hug and forgiveness, or to put up a wall of turning our backs on those involved in a serious sinful situation. Seldom does walking away help the problem. Thank you for sharing your kind heart, and wisdom. Blessings. Justme (the Missouri mule) |

PutGodFirst: Without going into much detail, may I say we have exepeinced the same except even worse, more than five times in our lives. I can fully empathize with you. Hank has said it so kindly to you, and I would read his note again. By all you have said I sincerely doubt your son is born again. Which is one reason to look at this situation is a different way. Salt never attracts flys. Sugar attracts flys all on it's own. Kindness and extending God's Love, Mercy and Grace are the better solution to reach a lost son and his bride. May God grant you wisdom in what you so chose to do. Blessings justme |

2278 | John 3:1-7 how can you say it's not true | 1 Cor 1:17 | justme | 111339 | ||
compudex: You offer simple advice, and on the surface you are right. If only there were a tollerance for one another. The problem is that there are some immature selfish people who insist they are right. Unless it's their way of understanding then you belief about baptism is wrong and you are not really saved. That dogmatic misunderstanding of Scripture is NOT in keeping with BASIC Christianity 101. There are some issues that there is no way to even suggest a different view of Scripture ie. Virgin birth of Jesus, His divinity, and His life ater death, just to name a few. When you ask us to just all get along, in some cases the people join the Forum just to stirr up the dung in their hearts. From the heart the mouth speaks. There is no reason to be rude, disrespectful, or belittling anyone. I personally attempt to abide by Lockmans wishes or I will leave respectfully. There is a young female who is pushing demominational bias that should be asked to leave. Perhaps soon the right people will notice. Blessings. justme |

2280 | How do I know / feel / experience God | 1 Cor 1:28 | justme | 241914 | ||
zeagel: I tool the time to read all your posts, and by the way welcome to the study Bible Forum. Your desire to "feel" or experience God is what we all desire, and if you din'nt I would think something was wrong....you are normal. I personally can say the times I feel closest to Jesus Christ is when I am really involved with reading the Bible. I mean more than a casual basis, but reading for perhaps a half an hour. That is how God speaks to you....by reading His word. The Holy Spirit teaches and reveals things to us that way. Prayer is very important, that's us speaking to God. Reading His Holy Word is allowing God to speak to us, and when we combine these in the proper balance we no longer feel we are missing something. As you grow and experience God in prayer and reading the Bible you will learn as Job did that feelings mean little. For instance some days I feel so close to my bride of almost 46 years, some days even if she in right next to me, I can feel distant. It really is how I am relating, not how things really are. Feelings can depend on how much pain I am in or how good I am feeling. Feelings are undependable. May I suggest you read John first and then 1John, they pretty much go together. Don't expect growth to come easy or fast, it takes time and hours spent in studying the Bible to become mature, I also want to tell you it's work, Satan will do all his tricks to stop you from growing in Christ.....it's his main effort to discourage you so you will give up and fall away. If you are a genuine Follower of Jesus Christ trials and tribulations Satan will do all he can to destroy your faith. I have seen lost of people show an interest in Jesus Christ, but gave up because it was too difficult or too hard to repent and leave the sins they were so attached to. I pray your faith will grow and prove you are a genuine born again follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Blesings. justme |
