1 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Reformer Joe | 39107 | ||
She certainly did mention adultery in at least one of her posts. What is not called for in most cases like this is not a quick "textbook answer," anyway. Reconciliation between spouses is certainly a God-honoring thing, but so is confrontation of sin and dealing with it. And Christian counseling very often is not that Christian these days. All I am trying to say is that giving a quick, knee-jerk response to a complex situation often doesn't take the whole issue into account from a biblical perspective, and often ends up offending a hurting person needlessly. It is interesting that you find my theology interesting. I hold what people write up to the standard of Scripture, and I think it is truly a blessing that God has equipped His church with sound teachers who can offer such great exposition of His Word! I consider the theology I hold to to be quite biblical, and welcome any correction from the Scriptures to show me where I am wrong on any point. --Joe! |

2 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Eagleone | 39156 | ||
Joe, Since the last time that I sent you a baited question, re. "What is your definition of a 'Bible Bully'?" (Which you wisely chose not to respond to), I've been reading your posts. I have concluded that you are not the type of Christian I suspected you to be. I now feel that you are an intelligent, sincere man that occasionally speaks too quickly. When I say that you speak too quickly, I refer to the fact that your resevoir of knowledge overcomes you prior to forethought. Be that as it may, I respect your depth of scriptural knowledge and, more importanly, perception. I apologize for assuming that you are a Christian egotist with deep scripture knowledge. In Him, Eagle One |

3 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Reformer Joe | 39174 | ||
Consider yourself forgiven. I find that interesting that that was a baited question directed toward me. Guess my discernment meter was on the fritz that day. You are correct, however, that there always exists a temptation to give the "knee-jerk" reaction myself. I have often found myself ready to leap at the keyboard to respond to an individual who posts something that really contradicts Scripture. Also, my wife can readily attest that egostism is something that I do indeed struggle with. God has blessed Christians with the truth, and often we have to struggle to remember that the truth did not origininate with our "super-brains," but rather that it is a revelation of God. Holding firmly to the truth is vital, but so is holding to it humbly. Thanks for the post! --Joe! |
