1 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | stjohn | 205367 | ||
Dear Tamara: When someone observes something about you, it is the way they see you. When you come back and refute every detail of their observations it usually doesn't change their view, at least for me, it sometimes only strengthens it. You do yourself no service be doing this. IMHO it only makes you look like you are not taking to heart advice given with good intentions, and makes you look like you have no regard for others opinions. We all read the same Scriptures. You have come to some conclusions that many in there heart, do not agree with. We have hashed this over, and over, and over, and etc, and etc-!! If you believe in your heart that something is a sin, then it indeed, (for you) it is a sin. You have NO right to judge ENYONE if they in their heart do not believe it is a sin. And I am NOT talking about obvious sins, murder steeling etc. You said if someone asked you to stop, you will stop. ok STOP. God bless John |

2 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Tamara Brewington | 205393 | ||
Dear John, I realize that others have different views than mine. You decided you did not want to be discussing it anymore because you said we were in disagreemnt. I stopped discussing it with you in grace. Others wished to discuss it. I am not here to refute folks John. When will you understand me? I have made a concerted effort since the dreaded issue to respect when an individual wants to drop a subject between myself and them. I am going to say this unitl everyone is tired of hearing it; I am here because I am interested in dividing scripture! I am not interested in pushing my view on anyone, I am not interested in my view, or your view or anyone esles. What I am interested in is dividing scripture by exegesis, and to do it with respect for others and in LOVE, to get at the intended meaning of the original author to his audience, period. I answer post by addressing scriptural issues that are posted to me and try to see how their observations fit the scriptures that they address, or present. I am not here to change anyone's view, that is not why I answer anyone back. I respect good intentions, and I love wise counsel along with the next Christian I have been willing to except rebuke and exhortation and let it run down my proverbial beard. I have apologized to people in here who never had the grace as you have, and as others have, to actually forgive me that I would know of it. What I have observed is that my division of scripture is being taken as if I stand in judgment of others, as if the division of scripture that I present is a view I have taken towards what others should do, go do, etc. You mistake my intentions totally, most people here have repeatedly... I am interested in how application is derived from a body of scriptures on a topic, not so I could go admonish folks, or say, HEY EVERYBODY GO DO THIS, THIS IS RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG! This is not about what I believe in my heart as a Christian, this is about studying with others who may see things differently then me, Halellujah for differences in the body of Christ! I have done my best to understand what every body else looks at things like in terms of how I have replied. Now it is time for every one else to stop and try seeing it from my point of view, not the sbuject matter, but my intentions in continuing to answer exegetically about the scriptures being discussed. I am very tired of trying to study with people who have mis judge my motives. I love you John as a dear brother and from the first issue between us I have been trying to get along, not just with you, but with everyone. I have a question, not so much for you John, but for everyone; Are you really interested in studying the Bible together to the extent that we are here to dialogue and edify one another because we are willing to engage in that Bible study? If so, where is the understanding of not another's view, but of another's reason for being in here? Next question; why is the continuation of dialogue to get to what a body of scriptures through study together, or a scripture means one is seen as pushing one's view? Please think about this. By His Infinite And Eternal Grace, Tamara |
