1 | MJH, Why limit it to adding abuse only? | Matt 19:9 | MJH | 144233 | ||
Searcher, The argument is one for you to prove otherwise. You have not taken much time or effort to make your point clear. I have laid out my position on divorce quite clearly. Since we are talking about divorce, not marriage, I stuck with the scriptures that deal with that. I will, for your sake, paste a commentary note on the subject: By John Gill's Exposition of the entire Bible: Deut 24:1 "because he hath found some uncleanness in her;" "something that he disliked, and was disagreeable to him, and which made their continuance together in the marriage state very uncomfortable; which led him on to be very ill-natured, severe, and CRUEL to her; so that HER LIFE was exposed to danger, or at least become very uneasy; in which case a divorce was permitted, BOTH for the badness of the man's heart, and in favor of the woman, that she might be FREED from such rigorous usage." (CAPS are my additions). If you would write a position that is different, I'd like to read it because I am not dogmatic on every point with this issue. I also have not taken as much time with this issue as I have with others, so any detailed arguments that contradict any of my arguments would be looked at with appreciation. MJH |

Dear Searcher, "Gill's trash?" I think I see some "obvious denominational bias" showing. Isn't there something about that in the forum guidelines? I wonder how many of our comments on Scripture are going to still be read three hundred years from now? I wonder how many of us will even ever write (let alone publish) a complete systematic theology and a verse-by-verse commentary of the Bible, while pastoring a church for 51 years? Dr. John Gill pastored the London church where he took the place of another great pastor, Benjamin Keach, and was followed by the "Prince of Preachers," Charles Hadon Spurgeon. He was considered a leading authority on ancient Jewish practices, and is still recognized as such. In order to prove your compliance with the forum guidelines, you must now explain Biblically how it is that Gill's writings are "trash." (1 Timothy 5:19) In Him, Doc PS For reference purposes, the guidelines state "Postings must be Biblically based. Posting must not be submitted as an effort foster debates, arguments, divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or disruptions to this forum." |

Master John, those be wery wise words, guv'nor, which don't apply to me, sir. You see, sir, I'm a mite proud to declare th' truth to you, sir, and declare it in a wery 'umble fashion indeed, sir, that I am not wiser than seven men. O, no sir. Six maybe, if I may be so 'umble to say so, but not seven, no sir, not seven. --Your 'umble and unworthy servant, Uriah Heep | ||||||
