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? |

3 | 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. | ||||||

7 | 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 | ||||||
8 | 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. |
