1 | unanswered prayer: Good or Bad? | 2 Cor 12:8 | shamgar | 111251 | ||
It really isnt what I am praying for....I am to speak this weekend in church and considered on doing what I percieved as an unanswered prayer. Years ago during my first marriage, I thought she was the "right one" and the one God had intended for me to spend my life with. Now it is many years later after my divorce and I have truly found the one God has intended for me. I just remember how I prayed that she and I would stay together forever. ( I honestly think I prayed for that because I knew we wouldnt). I have found my future wife in church and we both have seen the signs from God. I was just thinking of how (WOW) it is to realize that God knew this years ago that my current fiance is the right one....I am sure I have now confused you...my apologies if I have done so.... | ||||||
2 | unanswered prayer: Good or Bad? | 2 Cor 12:8 | Searcher56 | 111257 | ||
Scripture ... Mat 19:3-12, 1 Cor 7:10-16 ... shamgar, greetings and welcome to the SBF Scripture is very clear, unless your first wife was not a Christian (by her own admission) and she left you and she filed for divorce, you may not marry another - PERIOD. It DOES NOT matter what signs you have seen, God said you are not free to marry another. I believe God wants you to break off the relationship with your current fiance. I do not care what other advice you get ... I have even told pastors they were wrong by counselling couples to marry when the Bible says they were wrong. My brother Makarios has never been married and he does well as he thinks about his future. Searcher |

3 | unanswered prayer: Good or Bad? | 2 Cor 12:8 | Makarios | 111306 | ||
Greetings Searcher, I may have never married before, but I do believe that I still have a thing or two to say about marriage and divorce. I disagree with you. Makarios |

4 | What do you disagree about divorce? | 2 Cor 12:8 | Searcher56 | 111332 | ||
Makarios ... Which do you disagree about? - Divorce permitted because of the hardness of the heart of the "innocent" person ... but is not what God wants (Mat 19:3-12). - Divorce permitted only if the unbeliever leaves (files for divorce) ... the only why a Christian is free to marry another (1 Cor 7:10-16). ... or is something else? |

5 | What do you disagree about divorce? | 2 Cor 12:8 | kalos | 111367 | ||
Once and for all, the hardhearted person spoken of here refers to the hardness of heart of the adulterous spouse. It is absurd to accuse the innocent person of having a hard heart. The very phrase "the hard-hearted innocent" is oxymoronic. | ||||||

Searcher56, You're kidding, right? I have to assume you are kidding when you ask "Why would the adulterous spouse want a divorce?". |

No ... the adulterous spouse wants to have both the marriage and the affair. | ||||||
9 | What do you disagree about divorce? | 2 Cor 12:8 | Hank | 111786 | ||
Searcher, when you say that "the adulterous spouse wants to have both the marriage and the affair" you are, to my mind, making too broad an assumption. It begs the question, Why, if the adulterous spouse loved his mate the way he should, would he fool around with someone else? If the adulterer respected his spouse and viewed his marriage as the holy thing it is, and if he sincerely wanted to preserve and protect it, does it make sense for him to jeopardize it by carrying on an adulterous affair? It stands to reason that a person who lives in adultery does not prize his marriage very much. A married man or woman who claims to prize marriage and love the spouse while at the same time engaging in an adulterous relationship is lying to others and deceiving himself. He doesn't know, or doesn't care, what marriage really is. --Hank | ||||||
10 | What do you disagree about divorce? | 2 Cor 12:8 | Searcher56 | 111806 | ||
I have been married 15 years and having even a one night stand has never crossed my mind. But, I read where people have a wife (for show and status) and a mistress (for sex) - this is not new. Jeopardizing the marriage is not an issue for them. I do not understand why they would even think about another woman Since you have been married more than 44 years and based on your post, I think you agree. Remember, we don't think like those adulterous ones. I am not dogmatic that it is the "innocent" one ... I wonder if the Greek tells us more. |
