5 | Why does Paul say "not I, but the Lord"? | 1 Cor 7:10 | Louder | 12730 | ||
I seem to me that Paul indicates an opinion based on 'concession', and also anything else stated by himself. What he says regarding the subject matter is in no way not in accordance with what Jesus stated. Matthew 19:11-12 11 But He said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 “For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it.” The New American Standard Bible, 1995 Update, (La Habra, California: The Lockman Foundation) 1996. |

6 | Does grace justify sin? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Louder | 7249 | ||
Hi Charis, Thanks for butting in :-)) I appreciate your words of knowledge and wisdom. I agree in everyway, in all that you have mentioned regarding forgiveness of sins and the wonderful grace of God. I do apologise if it came across to you that I am not aware of God's divine mercy. I do believe that it is unrighteous to judge any man or woman's motives. It is God's will that we love one another regardless of their motives. I am stating the obvious to make certain these truths are in mind. My intention is to question through the word of God, prayer and by the will of the holy spirit, a person's view and discretion on scripture in everyway possible as to make it clearly understandable and to test any variances that many times satan uses in a subtle way to distort the truth. I do believe that God desires us to live holy and just, not for His sake that we may claim righteousness, but for our sakes that we may not fall and be separated from God and loose hope and to be drawn back in the a life of compromised sin because these "little" compromises. It is impossible, for me, or anyone to be able to judge any one case of divorce to render it justified or not. Would it be fair to state that we as the body of Christ have a responsibility in testing, teaching, informing, edifying and encouraging each other’s doctrine as to test the devil? I don’t mean judge a person’s motives but to test their doctrine, with the one and only measuring stick that is capable, the word of God. Grace doesn’t condone sin. It does excuse it in the condition of repentance. Repentance is achieved through the recognition of sin and the will and desire to abstain from it. Jesus washes away that sin as if it had never committed. However we still have the free will to return to that sin by our own desire. The point that I am getting at is that sin never ceases to be sin. It is there not only as death to our spirit but as a crutch that can hamper our relationship with God. This is of a great deal to me as it has an incredible frequency in many of lives of Christian folk, and it seems to be a problem in the long term. It grieves me to see those that are close to me in such a state of confusion and end up making the wrong choices in life. It is our responsibility to our brothers and sister's to edify and correct each other. The last thing I would like to say is that if in doubt, pray and wait on the Lord, and seek His Kingdom first, and His righteousness, and He will fulfil everything else in you life. God bless, Louder. | ||||||
7 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Louder | 7217 | ||
JVH0212: Thanks for the elaborateness. However scripture still holds no water for condoning divorce as far as it is clearly understood by myself. One point is that Jesus first states a condition for divorce, and that is in the case of fornication. However Jesus does not state at any point that remarriage after divorce is acceptable. I say this because the first part of the statement is cut short to indicate this exception, and continues the statement that once that person is divorced remarriage is adultery. This makes more sense in the whole context of scripture regarding marriage. The other related scriptures support this to a greater degree. Matt 5:32 "but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery." I am yet to be convicted of believing otherwise. I have prayed about it and I trust the Lord that this be of simple anointed understanding, and not of confusion in condoning that which seems of the flesh and unprofitable. God bless, Louder... |

8 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Louder | 6911 | ||
If it smells fishy then take a closer look. There is just too much doubt involved in this, now extremely complicated, question. Well I usually test things objectively if they seem doubtful. We are required to test each other's doctrine by Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Well in my opinion God is a clear-cut God. The fact is children will inherit the Kindom of God. God is not the author of confusion. Ok... Now that I've got that out of the way lets see and pray that these words of God will reveal the mysteries of His truth. Matthew 19:5-6 - and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” So, only God can seperate what He has joined. Only Him. So, who does in that case seperate a man and wife when they divorce, because one of them has commited adultry? God? Who has caused this seperation? Man? Satan? Are they still seperate? I would understand the reason for the spouse who's in the right to not continue in the marriage if the other has committed adultry. However, what does actually happen when there is a divorce in this instance? Does God break the marriage? Does God undo one flesh into being two again? Hmm? Does God make mistakes that He has to redo or undo? So if God doesn't make mistakes, why would there be a need to "fix" what was never broken or seperated by God. Would it be fair to say that we break the bond of marriage that is still meant to be intact? Therefore because of this does the bond of marriage still exsist for the spouse in the right as he/she has been faithful? However the other is living in sin. I would suggest that for he/she who is in the right should honour the bond made by God and seek first the Kingdom of God and he/she will have no need to remarry. For what reason would there be for such need? Carnal? Let us look at the verse in question. 1 Corinthians 7:15 "Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace". The brother or sister is not under bondage. Bondage. Refering to, being enslaved. Would this be refering to the marriage or the sin? If there is no sin on the righteous party but only in the other. It could be saying that the righteous party is not part of the sin. However this doesn't mean that he/she is not part of the marriage, in God's eyes. As one of them has chosen to live in sin and the other has not. It seems that it could be said that God doesn't condem individuals that are part of one flesh, if the one sins. It seems as if man creates the seperation, from God and that which He made as one flesh, and is required to repent to return his original form as one flesh without seperation. And not one flesh in sin. However there is grace and peace to the faithful party, and he/she remains out of that bondage of sin created through sin by the other party. Seeing it as a tri-cord unity of marriage. God being the head and the other two being joined by God. Possibly marriage is just as part of the man and wife as it is part of God. Can this marriage still exsist by only God and one of the other parties? Till such time the guilty party repents? Remeber we are to love our enemies, and pray for those who use us and to extend the same grace we are given by God. All things are possible in Christ Jesus...Ok... Please pray and test this as required. I hope not to seek acceptance but to be tested in all ways in understanding and truth by the grace of God. God bless, Louder. (please excuse the spelling) |

9 | Priority in the home. | 1 Thess 4:11 | Louder | 6883 | ||
Charis: You mentioned the order of priority in the home (Serve God, serve immediate family, serve local church family). I have heard this before, actually it was about two weeks ago for the first time. So it is quite appropriate that you also mentioned it. Please can you assist with any back up verses that concur with this. Not that I doubt it, it's just that it would really help to put things into context for me. You see, I'm a very simple person so it takes much for me to understand. :-) I do agree and understand, however I like as much confirmation as possible. Thanks and God Bless, Louder |

10 | House wife or career wife? | Not Specified | Louder | 6821 | ||
Thanks Charis for the warm welcome: -) It so wonderful to see the mysteries of God for life being unveiled. That brings me to another question. What is the role of a Christian wife? Does she stay at home to have and raise children? Is it ok for her to go and work and desire a career? What if she desires to stay at home, however the husband needs her to work for the extra money to help him with the bills? This is a down to earth question. However it seems that most people I come across in many Christian families have this as a huge issue. |
