1 | Are His commandments grievous? 1Jn 5:3 | 1 Cor 7:15 | EdB | 38934 | ||
Tuli I agree we have a very carnal understanding on marriage! However it does/must carry the same meaning to believers and unbelievers. We are making a covenant before God and man that we will allow nothing to separate us. This covenant, this promise, is something that is to be taken dead seriously. Why because it can cost us our life. When man and woman come together they become one. Like two pieces of paper glued together. And like those two pieces of paper that are glued together when you try to separate them, some of the one remains stuck to the other. In a sense we lose a part of ourselves and retain a part of the other. We are forever changed never to be as we were before we married. If we spent as much time getting married as we do getting divorced many many marriages would never take place and rightly so. As many are fatal mistakes, they will kill our hopes, our desires, our faith and in some cases our spirits (through sin). Should a marriage fail for whatever reason before the person remarries they should consider the consequence of having yet another being glued to them. Is that person going to make them closer to God or move them further away? Is that person carrying baggage that in their wounded state, is going to help or hinder their recovery. Most of all what does God say to them personally about remarriage? Many enter a second marriage in even more haste than they did the first and many find they are worst off instead of better off. God hates divorce for a reason! He knows exactly the devastation and damage it does to two people. There is no way around it. We call ourselves Christians, people of faith yet when marriages are going wrong we rarely if ever travail in prayer. Oh, we might cry out to the Lord for help but rarely do we become dependant upon prayer. It becomes simpler to say God knows I had to divorce. EdB |

Let me add this as food for thought. Numbers 30:2 "If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. Not much wiggle room here! God hates divorce why? First because it breaks a vow, making our word account for nothing. Secondly it is so very very very destructive! EdB |
