1 | I just started reading the Bible and.... | Deut 24:1 | petedavis6263 | 211268 | ||
Dear Sidney, I am trying to answer everyone's helpful posts, but I am falling behind. I believe you and I are engaged in what Hank and Brad coined, "circular banter." I'll just say one more time then I'll quit. As I have read Matt 5:32 and 19:9, the meaning I get is that Jesus proclaims that there is no other reason for divorce other than sexuality immorality. Anyone who divorces and remarries for any other reason, commits adultery. Why wouldn't Jesus include in the exemptions list along with sexual immorality, domestic violence, forced marriages, incarceration, and couples unequally yoked where one of them leaves? Are you saying these texts apply only to the Pharisees and without any other possibilities, the only legitimate reason for getting a divorce was sexuality immorality and nothing else? Okay, brother Sidney, you have the last word. Thank you so very much for all your help. Pete |

because he was dealing specifically with their divorcing out of lust not domestic violence. Their are other contexts where people were dealt with by treating their wives with abuse. Context, Context, Context... As a former Police Officer I would school kids that the drugs they were using could get them arrested. However, that's not the only thing that could get them arrested. I dealt with the problem at hand(context) which was drug abuse. However we know if "illegal guns" were a problem I would inform them. Illegal guns would get you arrest. They should be confused and respond, "Wait a minute Officer, You only stated that the drugs were using would get us arrested, we're confused". LOL, Sidney |
