1 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | shellyhlms | 39028 | ||
I'm not understanding what you are trying to say to me. Yes I carry alot of anger, when I see people attempting to have answers for every situation when every situation is different. I am sorry I am so defensive, I DID tell elders and peers in the church once or twice. I even told one of our mutual friends. They told me, "Well, didn't your wounds heal? just ask God to change him, because divorce is for the hard hearted." Sometimes scriputres are taken out of context. YES I believe that scripture, but if you are being constantly hurt, then NO I don't believe it applies in that situation. The Bible was written in an Eastern Country, during times that were a little different. Sitations are all different, so different scriptures apply to different people in different situations. Yes God hates divorce, but this was out of my control. He was much different before the twins were born. I didn't pray about it before we got married, I was pregnant. So...Does this mean it is my fault? That I made a mistake? Now I have to stay with him and suffer? |

Okay Shelly, it is not my intention to make you mad. And please do not get mad or defensive. Let not thge sun go down on your anger. We fight against what we do not see, what is more powerful than we can imagine. Do not give the enemy a hold on your life. Give up the anger forgive and let God lead you. You made mistakes, great, we all do, and our God is mercuful. Now, do not justify yourself, let God justify you. That scripture does not stop at telling but action is done by the church. Why did your assembly not take action if you trully are a part of that body? By the way, I hate to bring this up, but you say, you did not pray before you got married, you did not appreciate God's help and now you think you had nothing to do with it? Come on now, maybe God would have kept you from all this-and this we will only know in that day, but please, do not bring that up in defence. And to say the Bible applied to the Eastern country is trully disturbing! Are you implying that the Holy Spirit did not have you in mind when the Bible was inspired! Oh NO!!! So the scriptures are tradition! They do not apply to certain situations! Then God is not all knowing, what a shameful thought! If it is true, we are in a lot of trouble! We are on the wrong boat! You do not even know your heart! Do not let your emotions lead you, let the Spirit of God have full reign in you! Who was wronged more than Our Lord, and HE forgave. Did not impute our iniquity upon us, does not even remember my sin. And you can afford to keep your anger? If you do not forgive, how will God forgive you? Sister, I know these are hard things to say, but the word of God is not meant to cause us grief. Our God will never let you go through anything without Him leading you. Do not dispare, do not lose heart, on the day we hope to see His face, and if I don't see you here, I sure will see you in glory and what a joy it will be. But today, do not give place to the enemy in your heart. The grace of God be with you dear sister. Amen. |

Once again you have taken my words and twisted them. I didn't say the Bible didn't apply to Western Cultures. I said it was written in an Eastern Culture...Example: Women should not speak in church,.... as for this statement "So the scriptures are tradition! They do not apply to certain situations! Then God is not all knowing, what a shameful thought! If it is true, we are in a lot of trouble! We are on the wrong boat!" YES! Scriptures such as "Divorce is for the hard hearted." "God hates divorce". This is all true...BUT..Those scriptures are thrown at people that truly can't do anything BUT leave, for thier own protection. I listened to someone throw those scriptures at me, I stayed as long as I could. I put ME, and my children at risk, because someone said I was hard hearted if I left. You also twisted my words by saying this : "you did not appreciate God's help and now you think you had nothing to do with it?" THAT is a very condemning statement! I was 16 years old, and obviously wasn't at the peak of my Christianity, so...NO, I may not have heard God that clearly. I as PREGNANT, so what else was I supposed to do. You are clearly stating this was MY fault because I didn't listen to God... Is that the Loving nature of God? God wants us to PAY for our sins? Is that what you are saying? Because I thought Jesus died on the cross to save us from that. I have forgiven my ex husband by the way. Any anger I carry..Is when people don't quite understand the impact that their scriptures make on people. I would not have suffered many of my injuries if I had left him instead of listening to someone tell me I had a hard heart. |

4 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Reformer Joe | 39079 | ||
lly: Since you are getting some very bad advice from certain quarters on this forum, let me recommend a short book for you that examines the biblical view of all of these. Scripture should be our guide in all these matters, and many folks here have been listening to some very bad Bible teachers if they say that there is NEVER reason for divorce. Go down to your local Christian book store and find or order a copy of _Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage, and the Bible_ by Jay Adams. It is solidly Bible-based, and will give you a very clear perspective on this issue. Having been a part of this forum for a year now, I will say that no amount of presenting your case will get some people to understand or change their minds. Therefore, you may want to consider not responding any more to people with whom you disagree. --Joe! |

Tuli, having seen a thousand and more of Joe posts on this forum, I submit that, while they are given freely, they are by no means cheap. It isfair to say, I believe, that he has established himself as one among few whose posts are truly worth reading. --Hank | ||||||
