1 | Intermarriage | Ezra 9:2 | Emmaus | 115542 | ||
ischus, I will say that even in the New Covenant beliervers are warned against being "unequally yoked" to unbelivers and the mixed marriages there are only tolerated because they were contracted before the beliver came to faith. I have no idea of your age or background but the real practical problems of mixed faith marriages are not insignificant nor easily overcome, even in a loving relationship, once the haze of infatuation has lifted and children start arriving. Ask around to those who have been there and are there. I guess if God could command Hosea to marry a whore to make a point, Ezra upon whom "God had his hand" might command divorce to make a point. Moses gave laws on divorce because of the hardness of men's hearts despite God hating divorce. However, you are entitled to your opinion on Ezra. I am trying to find another particular passage that you might find sinmilarly fascinating. Emmaus |

2 | Intermarriage | Ezra 9:2 | ischus | 115546 | ||
Emmaus, I appreciate your post here, and I respect your interpretation of Ezra. We simply differ here and that's ok. I really do believe in everything you have said about the troubles that these type of mariages can cause, and I am with you on all of your points. MY only point is that in the book of Ezra, God was not asking them to divorce their wives, and you have seen my reasoning for this. I think you are right in requesting another topic here. We have both done our part, and its time to move on. SO...... Here are some other books/topics that I enjoy to discuss: -Ps.22 and Jesus on the cross -1 Cor 2 and the HS -Divorce in the bible :) -Law and Grace in the OT -Ecclesiastes -The Pentateuch What are some things that you have on your mind? By the way, I used to have my age posted on my user information, but I have taken it off recently because of some comments that were directed towards my age. I am old enough to read, and young enough to still get around, so I think I'm doing pretty well. :) ischus |

ischus, All these topics are amenable to me. If you are doing Psalms and Jesus on the cross you may as well include Psalm 31 with 22. Pentatuech, Law and grace are ok by me too. Baptism has been overworked here. That is a subject i would only do by e-mail. Of course for my take on baptism you can also search the archives of my posts. But at the moment I musr retire for some past due sleep. Good night! Emmaus |
