Subject: Should we Divorce? |
Bible Note: Dear pricefhome, Greetings to you in the name of Jesus! I do know a bit more about your situation, and my advice still stands about seeking a true shepherd's counsel. I think we can discount the 'prophets' advice altogether, unless he is a shepherd in a postion of care and (ongoing, daily) responsibility over you. Do you go to a church that has the kind of care that I speak of? From the flow of your posts, I take it that you have not been under the kind of spiritual supervision that your family really needs. The Bible does make a way for divorce, but it is not God's desire, except in very special circumstances. There are no 'convenient' Scriptures that meet all needs in this kind of situation. If you feel that you are not being shepherded where you are, then go to the pastor and ask why not! I fit is your fault, repent and submit. Otherwise, finding a church that will shepherd you is in order. Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
