Subject: Can a divorced person remarry? |
Bible Note: Once again you have taken my words and twisted them. I didn't say the Bible didn't apply to Western Cultures. I said it was written in an Eastern Culture...Example: Women should not speak in church,.... as for this statement "So the scriptures are tradition! They do not apply to certain situations! Then God is not all knowing, what a shameful thought! If it is true, we are in a lot of trouble! We are on the wrong boat!" YES! Scriptures such as "Divorce is for the hard hearted." "God hates divorce". This is all true...BUT..Those scriptures are thrown at people that truly can't do anything BUT leave, for thier own protection. I listened to someone throw those scriptures at me, I stayed as long as I could. I put ME, and my children at risk, because someone said I was hard hearted if I left. You also twisted my words by saying this : "you did not appreciate God's help and now you think you had nothing to do with it?" THAT is a very condemning statement! I was 16 years old, and obviously wasn't at the peak of my Christianity, so...NO, I may not have heard God that clearly. I as PREGNANT, so what else was I supposed to do. You are clearly stating this was MY fault because I didn't listen to God... Is that the Loving nature of God? God wants us to PAY for our sins? Is that what you are saying? Because I thought Jesus died on the cross to save us from that. I have forgiven my ex husband by the way. Any anger I carry..Is when people don't quite understand the impact that their scriptures make on people. I would not have suffered many of my injuries if I had left him instead of listening to someone tell me I had a hard heart. |
