1 | Still an adulteress if I marry again? | 1 Cor 7:11 | Sven | 87928 | ||
What the Bible Says About Divorce "It hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement": (Matthew 5:31 KJV) Divorce is as hurtful and destructive today as in Jesus' day. God intends marriage to be a lifetime commitment, (Genesis 2:24 KJV says:), Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. When entering into marriage, people should never consider divorce an option for solving problems or a way out of a relationship that seems dead. In these verses, Jesus is also attacking those who purposefully abuse the marriage contract, using divorce to satisfy their lustful desire to marry someone else. Are your actions today helping your marriage grow stronger, or are you tearing it apart? (Matthew 19:6-9 KJV), 6-Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7-They say unto him, why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8-He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9-And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. In Moses' day, as well as in Jesus' day, the practice of marriage fell far short of God's intention. The same is true today. Jesus said that Moses gave this law only because of the people's hard hearts-permanent marriage was God's intention. But because sinful human nature made divorce inevitable, Moses instituted some laws to help its victims. These were civil laws designed especially to protect the women who, in that culture, were quite vulnerable when living alone. Because of Moses' law, a man could no longer just throw his wife out-he had to write a formal letter of dismissal. This was a radical step toward civil rights, for it made men think twice about divorce. God designed marriage to be indissoluble. Instead of looking for reasons to leave each other, husbands and wives should concentrate on how to stay together. Jesus said that divorce is not permissible except for unfaithfulness. This does not mean that divorce should automatically occur when a spouse commits adultery. The word translated "unfaithful" implies a sexually immoral life-style, not a confessed and repented act of adultery. Those who discover that their partner has been unfaithful should first make every effort to forgive, reconcile, and restore their relationship. We are always to look for reasons to restore the marriage relationship rather than for excuses to leave it. If you committed adultery and your husband divorces you, then you will be free to marry again. But before you do, please understand the root cause of your infidelity. Many Christian books explain it "One Flesh" by Bob Yandian is a good one. Best of Luck. My wife and I have worked through similar problems and we are living successfully in Christ strength. God Bless You |

2 | Jesus says I AM | Bible general Archive 1 | Sven | 87828 | ||
Dear Good News Minister, Thanks for the other answer you sent me I will meditate on the verses you referenced. What do you make of the two verses below. Wasn't he referencing the time God said tell "I AM"? I love it when Jesus begins by saying I tell you the truth, because I am pretty sure Jesus doesn't lie, so what is he telling the truth about. "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" John 8:58 45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." John 8:45-47 Thanks, Sven |

The truth To understand the answer to this question, predestination and many other questions we must first understand eternity. This great truth can only be revealed by the Holy Spirit through God's word, but remember eternity means having no beginning and no end. God and Jesus are both eternal and are therefore not bound by time. They answer a prayer today you are going to pray until next week. See the following and think about your own life when you read Rom. 6:23, 1 John 5:11, 1 Cor. 1:30, Col. 3:1, Eph. 2:6, Gal. 2:20 and finally Eph. 1:4., we are called to meditate on the word, reading is not enough. Thanks for the great fellowship. |
