Subject: Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? |
Bible Note: Firstly:Hosea God did a new thing and a sign of things to come for us grafted in by Grace. He told him to go and get not just a tart but a whore of whoredom a whore of the gentiles a thing that was twice tabboo. This was done to show not only His Love for Israel , The Love of God in Jesus for us and the Love of Jesus for the errant church but also an example of long suffering Love in marriage. FOr those who were paying attention the answer to the question is divorce allowed - was NO what GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER. If it had truely been o.k for a man to have put away his wife for the sake of adulteries it would not have been a difficult thing for the disciples to grab MAtt 19v9,10 and Paul would have said that that was what Jesus was saying in 1 Corinthinan. In 1 cor 7v10:Paul said,the things that the Lord commanded to be done. His non saying that apart from the case of marital infidelities meant that Jesus did not command it to be done. What He commanded he expounded on: LET NOT THE MAN PUT ASUNDER THEIR WIFE..LET THE WOMAN REMAIN SINGLE OR BE RECONCILED TO HER HUSBAND, paul says and not JESUS this part:IF AN UNBELEIVING DEPART LET HIM DEPART FOR GOD HAS CALLED US TO PEACE. Both the Father and the Lord called divorce a hardness of heart. THe hardness of those under the Law caused God to have Moses get them to issue a divorce. What then ought us who are in HIm ought to do ? NOT PUT AWAY OUR WIVES...HUSBANDS for that shows a hardness of heart. Those that declare them selves to be justified unto divorcing their spouse on the grounds of adultery are showing a hardness of heart. what happened could you not have suffered it, even as Hosea did? If need be you don;t even have to stay in the same house or country with the spouse only honour your convenant that you made in the presence of God.malachi2v14 God was a witness. Most people who are more or less fed up with a marriage and seek and a way out of it usually do try to justfiy it with scriptures that they can. I know I did. Athough I didn't not go to the courts to issue a decree nissi. I was forced to sign it as if an unbeliever departs let him depart for God has called us to Liberty. I was married in 1995 and divorced in 2000 My exhusband came to me before he got remarried in 2001 by the way. By then he had already had a son with the woman that he was cheating with whilst we were married and married in 2001.Our marriage was not easy and slightly complicated I must add. HOwever it could have been managed if it was done with the Word of God and or even the law of the Land. He was 6months younger than me and I felt was not developed emotionally nor as a Christian although he moved by faith to start of with. Regarding the divorce my exhusband did not even bother even to fulfill the laws of God nor of the Land legal requirements regarding seperation and divorce. Had he done so I might have returned to him but could not as within the period of time he had gotten the other woman pregnant and remarried. He did not even follow the proper procedures in the divorce hearing etc as he was not doubt to remarry the other woman who is 5 year older than both of us. We both cheated. Although he still denies it. He also wanted out. I did - to try and get out of the marriage He did as he was a dog. Whatever reasons whether he cheated or I divorce was and is not a justifiable reason for putting asunder what God joined together.The real cheater is the one that issued the decree nissi and remarried fulfilling what is written of adulteres. When he came back in 2001 I told him that I was not prepared to go back to him and wanted to remain single as it is allowed .He was very dominieering and overbearing and manipulative and into the occult. One day he would listen to God the other his mother when he ought to have cleaved to his wife. Who is the cheater ? He that put asunder what God has joined together. That is who. Are all those in a sham of a marriage then hypocrites. No for the marriage is still in tack. The whole point is not to PUT ASUNDER. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE MUST YOU DIVORCE YOUR SPOUSE, even as Paul urged all the brothers LET NOT THE MAN PUT ASIDE HIS WIFE. If she a tart you play the role of Hosea for your tart. End of story. AS THE LORD PUT IT: DIVORCE IS A HARDNESS OF HEART. |
