Subject: divorce is not always a sin. |
Bible Note: hobbzilla: You have some very good points, and I find it refreshing the way you make your dialogue point by point, in logical sequence. I attempt to state things as they should be in a strick Biblical fundimentalistic mannor. However in the reality of the situation ethical mode we as Christians tend to react to most situations, I find that often fundimential Biblical truths are ignored. I noticed we both have used the example of the wife being unfaithful, which is far less often the case. Our Christian lifestyle in todays world is barely different from the world in general. The facts are today we have stepfathers sexually abusing their step daughters, and all kinds of males and females involved in other devient acts. On occasion we hear of those in ministry whose conduct is repugnant, a shame to the name of Christ and His Church. I will state my personal views, and say my understanding for Biblical divorce externds beyond sexual infidelity. Unfaithness encompasses far more than just a sexual act. In our world there grounds for divorce for addictions that are beyond listing, neglect, gambeling, non support, and again the list is too long. Perhaps what I am attempting to say is "hardness of heart" is wide in scope in todays world. Some as according to Romans 1. have taken the path that leads to distruction. The question is how does a husband or wife know when "God has handed them over..."? There are those who have choosen a path that has no turning around. I do believe faith that falters, had a flaw from the first. I do believe in eternal security, but sometimes the call is only known by Jesus Himself. I hope, I am not sounding wishy washy, but divorce, adultery, and all sins are forgiven exactly the same way, are they not? I do have deep compassion for sinners, whom I stand in line by my own conviction of the Holy Spirit. By the Grace of God I am a saved sinner. Blessings. justme |
