21 | does God reconcile broken marriages? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 59613 | ||
ewokmomma, I found this is my files. I'm not sure from what source it comes from, but this answeres your question. God bless you my friend as the Holy Spirit continues to lead you. ))))))))) * ((((((((((( First of all, the divine standard for marriage is lifelong commitment to one's spouse, and nothing else. Even though divorce was permitted in some cases under the Old Testament economy, Christ made it plain that this was not God's ideal. When He was asked this very question, "He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Matthew 19:4-6). This seems very comprehensive and conclusive, yet He immediately followed up this statement with the following apparent exception: "Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery" (Matthew 19:9; see also Matthew 5:31, 32). It does seem from this statement that the discovery of extramarital unchastity on the part of one' spouse is here given as a possible grounds for divorce. God does place a high value on faithfulness, on the part of both bride and bridegroom, as a basis for a happy and lasting marriage. Fornication is condemned as a sin in both Old and New Testaments. In this day of widespread sexual license, however, this provision might well become a rather common ground for divorce, even among Christians. It does, indeed, dilute the principle of "one flesh" used by God to describe a true marriage. "What? Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? For two, saith He, shall be one flesh . . . Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body" (I Corinthians 6:16, 18). This passage, incidentally, suggests that a woman who submits to extramarital sex becomes, in God's sight, a harlot, whether she yields her body for money or some other reason that she sees as profitable to herself. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that Jesus, evidently on a different occasion, did not give fornication as an excuse for divorce. "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery" (Luke 16:18). If there is any doubt, this also applies to wives. "And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery" (Mark 10:12). Since the lord would not contradict Himself, we should conclude that, while there may be some situations in which extramarital sex would create such problems in a marriage that divorce would be better than continuing in an unhealthy or even dangerous relationship, in general it would be better to forgive earlier indiscretions (if accompanied by repentance and present faithfulness) rather than to break up what might otherwise still be a good marriage. In both cases, however, Christ warned that remarriage after divorce amounts to adultery, a sin which is explicitly forbidden by God's seventh Commandment. Both divorce and remarriage, therefore, are extremely serious steps, and both violate the divine principle of permanent union and faithfulness in marriage. But this is not the whole story. "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy . . . For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust" (Psalm 103:8, 14). "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins" (I John 1:9). This promise is specifically for Christians, and includes even the sin of adultery, if there is genuine repentance. The Lord made this very clear in His dealing with the woman who "was taken in adultery, in the very act" (John 8:4). He reminded her accusers that they also were sinners and had no warrant to punish her. Then He told the woman: "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more" (John 8:11). He in no way condoned her sin, but He did forgive her sin, when she gave evidence of godly sorrow and determination not to sin again in this way. Under such conditions, His followers would do well to follow His example. At least in this particular context, He put no further conditions on her freedom, either to return to her husband if he would have her, or to marry another if she were already divorced. |

ewokmomma, Please re-read the last paragraph to my post that I sent you. My friend, if I might add, Forgiveness is the beginnig of healing to anyone who has been offended in any situation. Luke 23:34, speaks of this forgiveness. If only I had known the consequences of my sins in the past, I would not have done them, but by the transforming of the renewing of my mind, day by day, I'm able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.(Romans 12:2) May God continue to lead you to your destination. God bless. |

24 | repentance first then reconcile | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 59873 | ||
ewokmomma, To your question, yes. That is what Jesus is saying. We can't have a relationship with God without first repenting, through our Lord Jesus, we can't serve God with our old nature. We can't have a marital relationship when there is a division, only when the two are one, will the marriage succeed. What makes a good marriage, is two forgiving hearts. However, God has called us to live in peace; But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.(NKJV) May I suggest that you get council from your pastor. Your situation is not impossible, always look to God for your answer. God loves you! |

Disease of life, we were born with it. we are never satisfied with who we are and what we are. We never have enough money, never look good enough. This is called the dis - ease of life. When we come to know our Lord and Savior, we discover who we are. That God designed each one with a purpose, our looks, our talents, our skin color even our parents were planned by God, we had no choice in the creation of ourselves. Now you have a choice, be saitisfied how God created you (He makes no mistakes), or you can use the reasons you stated to satisfied your needs. Will God love you less? No, but I can't speak for your husband. You want to be more intimate with each other, be more intimate with God. Read Ephesians 5:22-33 and all of Proverbs 31. God bless you, you really are precious in the eyes of God. |

29 | Believing in the Bible | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 65063 | ||
Greetings What you should understand is when you are speaking to other people is that you are planting seeds into their lives. Meaning, that the Word of God will not go back void to God. They may not believe right now, but so did we when we were unbelivers! Let your life be the bible (2Corinthians 3:2) and demonstrate that God is alive in your life. Don't forget, the Word of God says in 1 Corinthians 1:18, that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them who are perishing, or spiritually dead. Finally, continual to pray for you friends, or anytime you enter into witnessing. Remember the devil is a liar, and will use your friends to discourage you, but don't fall for that scheme. I leave you with this verse for you to read; 1 Corinthians 15:57-58. God bless you, "with God all things are possible!" |
