Scripture ... Rom 5:20 (5:12-6:2), 1 Jo 1:9 (8-10) ... Kyle, greetings ... I have read you other posts .... I am concerned that you were given verses and maybe not the context. Romans 5:20 says "The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more" .. you where only given the first part. The context is 5:12-6:2 ... it was by Adam sin entered the world ... then the Law came which increased sin, or the awareness of it. We are not to sin, so grace may increase. Study the context with your accountability partner. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" This verse is sandwiched between two verses (8 and 10) where we say we don't sin. While we do need to confess our sin ... and we may be forgiven ... the consequences still remain. Look at David's sin with Bathsheba and Uriah ... it impacted the unborn child, his family and the nation. Now to remarriage. Read these Scriptures ... Due 24:1-4; Mat 5:27-32, 19:3-9; 1 Co 7:10-15, 26-27a ... This has been discussed many times, so you may want to use Quick Search and enter remarriage or divorce. My points are 1 - If you are married and it is adultery, a divorce would compound the situation. 2 - It is adultery if the "innocent" party (whose heart was hard) divorces then remarries. 3 - If you not a Christian when you got a divorce, you are free to marry a Christian. 4 - If you are (were) a Christian, the only way out is if your spouse wasn't a Christian, and they initiated the separation and divorce ... and you didn't cause them to do it. It is not up to you to decide if your spouse is (was) a Christian. The bottom line is for you to study and search Scripture yourself to see if you are committing adultery and then what to do. You need to examine to see if what we say is so. You can continue to ask ... you will eventually find someone who will give you the answer you want. You quoted Romans 8:28-30. Understand that single events may not seem to be good, but when seen with all the other events, the combination is good. Searcher |

dear searcher in answer to your question about if i was the cause of the divorce? let me asure you if i was i would not be so eager to share on this page, but yes the answer to that statment is a great big NO. i thank you that you brought it to my attention that, "it is not up to me to decide if my spouse is or was a christian" once again i would not have mentioned this if i did not infact know the truth about my spouses commitment to Jesus, and again she said NO she was not yet saved.as i said we both doubted our salvation we did not think we were going to heaven when we died. thank you for the bible lesson. refering to your other statment "you will eventually find someone who will give you the answer you want" Well yes i have the answer, the written word of God I Jn 3:21 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. (NKJ) i am confident that my marriag to my darling wife is a God blessed one, we have confidence towards God. thank you for your words of wisdom, as the scripture says, Prov 23:12 12 Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge. (NKJ) Prov 24:6 6 For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, and in a multitude of counselors there is safety. (NKJ) God bless you, your church and your family your brother in Christ KYLE |
