Subject: Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? |
Bible Note: Dear John, I am not trying to belabor this overly much dear heart, but something keeps niggling at my heart and my brain... It is the concept of being called to suffer in order to obey Christ as having first place before personal discomfort, "but if you burn, marry". I am thinking abuot another verse, "God will not test/tempt (which ever translation) you beyond what you are able, but will make a way out (usually, but not always a spiritualy one). Here is a concept to consider; if someone were a fornicator and then repented of their sin, but did not come out of that relationship would we still be saying that they are going to heaven? According to I Corinthians, I do not think so... Why then do we make this big allowance for Christians who remarry after divorce saying it is too late to change it, someone committed adultery on them (the text in Mark makes no such claim about adultery being the cause of the divorce that subsequently remarrying means it is adultery, only that marrying a divorced person constitutes adultery). And no, I do not think God want us to allow His child to be bound up and in mental pain and heart ache, but we are called to suffer Christ in order to obey Him when things don't go our way. What do you think? God Bless, Tam |
