1 | Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? | Hosea | teragram123 | 58190 | ||
correction to former post... speaking as one HAS who been there I repeat my posting. Pain does not change the word of God... Only presents the opportunity to see the Lord in a much grander way, for only via the Holy Spirit, I CAN do all things thru HIM who strengthens me... God Bless |

2 | Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? | Hosea | Aristarchus | 58191 | ||
You are right, pain does not change the Word. It should however influence our manner of sharing it. Not to mention that according to Jesus' own words we are fully justified in divorce for marital unfaithfulness. Again, though, my reply was not an argument of your stance or opinion, but in the presentation. Much as you believe we should forgive and let God handle it, I believe we should present advice and/or correction in a loving manner. Especially when dealing with our brothers and sisters in Christ. This is consistent with the Word of God. |

3 | Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? | Hosea | justme | 58196 | ||
Aristarchus:There are many answers to the question on divorce, adultrey, remarriage, and the lists gets so compleciated, it become a tangled mess for justification. There is really only one reason for divorce, HARDNESS OF HEART. Adulyrey is forgiveable. The problem is damaged emotioms that result in hard hearts. God knowing women and men are human and emotions can kill not only the spirit but the body as well. Either way divorce or working to restore trust and love takes time, and pain. Very few Christians are willing to go through the pain it requires to fix it right. There are circumstances that end the marriage with no hope of restoration. But just because you don't male me happy is not justified in scripture anywhere. agape, justme |

4 | Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? | Hosea | Aristarchus | 58291 | ||
I wasn't aware that I said a lack of "happiness" justified divorce at any time. I think, in fact, that I said quite the opposite. Jesus himself gave the grounds for divorce (the only grounds acceptable to me, btw). i am in no way defending divorce. Just stating, that scripturally, there are grounds for it and that when discussing such painful and emotionally stressful subjects (at least with someone that is currently suffering them) we should guide in gentleness and love. While guiding and advising forgiveness and love we should also recognize that Jesus himself gave a reason for justified divorce and respect any persons authority in that circumstance to choose that option. I do feel that it should be a last resort when the one committing the adultery refuses to change their behavior. How can there be forgiveness without repentance? Even God requires that we repent so we can be forgiven. |
