Bible Note: RODENT TAMER:I was greatly disturbed when I read your first post, and that's why I answered as I did. You may go and read all my posts that covers almost 5 years. I just am not the one to say such direct statements as I did with you. I felt the Lords leading, I am glad I followed that direction. I am pleased you were able to come and openly admit you dishonesty, that must have been hard for you to do, thank you, God is working in your heart. This really is a Study Bible Forum, and as it has been said to others this is not an advice or "Dear Abby" kind of forum. But there has been those who felt led of the Lord to respond to you, and I happened to be one as well. We are told in Scripture that our yes is to be yes, and when we enter into a contract of marriage it is legal. By your testamony to us, he got a divorce from you. The legality of the contract is now null and void, this would be the case no matter if you had been the one to file first. Jesus said that the reason for divorce really came down to "hardness of the heart". Matthew 19:3 to 9. Thus ultimately whatever happened between you, or to anyone else that gets a divorce it all comes down to the hardness of the heart. This is sin and that is the final cause of all divorces. What does Scripture say about how we as Christians are to deal with our sin? 1 John 1:9 is how we are to deal with our sin that so entangels our life. Are all sins forgiven the same way? Yes, they are, by confession and rependance. Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ...NOTHING. Romans 8:31 to 31. Have you confessed these sins? If not now is the time, if you have or will do so then you are in right with the Lord. There is no reason to carry this huge burden of failure on your soul any longer. You can marry again, but only to a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ. Once you have the Fathers forgiveness, by confessing these sins there is no reason to keep seek the help of a forum to find peace and live a fruitfull Christian life. Jesus told the woman caught in the act of adultry and the woman at the well to go and sin no more. That is wonderful loving adivce for us all, not just you! I strongly tell you that you and the man you believe to be your future husband, to make sure you have deep counseling before you get married. When you do become Husband and Wife with Christ as the center of your oneness, you will experience genuine peace and love. I pray that God will direct your steps and you remain faithful to your Lord Jesus Christ. Blessings to you as you truely follow Jesus the rest of your life. Justme |
