Subject: Divorce for no sexual life ever - OK? |
Bible Note: Greetings justme! You said "I would like to remind anyone who reads this thread tha Paul said to the married not to deprive one another, because it makes us open to sin." How exactly does that give any weight to your argument? You are completely dogmatic in your post and not the first verse of scripture to back it up. Not to mention your assumption that sex is what draws someone's interest to the thread is unacceptable. Based on your own comments it appears the sex part is your only concern not that its what motivated others in the thread. " I think it is very unsensitive, and so legalistic to say this person should remain with a person who commited fraud in not telling their furture partner of his inability before taking any vows. For those who would put such a burden on someone saying they are doomed in such a situation, remind me of the religious leaders Jesus was attempting to get them to see the light." You think it is, but where in scripture do you base your opinion? Is your feelings what should guide others on this matter? Also, who are you to condemn anyone because you disagree with them? At least others who have worked through the discussion have pointed to scripture. Right or wrong in their interpretation at least they are looking to the word of God for the answers. You said " We would not dream of such a thing now. However if for what ever reason either partner does not want or can not consumate the marriage, then it is not a marriage, and it should be desolved if either is unhappy and feels they are not married with out sexual union." Question, what is there to dissolve if there is not a marriage? And where do you find that teaching in scripture? Your post is completely full of your own opinion and made-up doctrine based on your own feelings of how things should be. At least without scripture to backup your arguments who do you really expect to take you serious? Steve PS. Just so you know, there are some (at least there is one, me!) that is following along with this thread to better understand what the word of God has to say on this issue. So far, there appears to be two opinions. One side of the discussion points to scripture the other simply gives unfounded personal opinions. Humm.... |
