Bible Question: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN MATTHEW 19;8 U SEE I HAVE BEEN SEPERATED FROM MY WIFE FOR A WHILE THE PERSON I WAS TALKING 2 SAID IF I DON'T GET BACK WITH MY WIFE I HAVE A HARD HEART N I'M NOT DOING THE WILL OF GOD THANK YOU 4 YOUR HELP N GBY YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST ROBERT BEUCLER |
Bible Answer: My brother, May the God of Peace and Wisdom be with you. Jesus told the Pharisee's that divorce was never his plan however becuase man is hard hearted he allowed for it. God would rather us forgive 7 times 70 and reconcile our differences. However, it takes two in marriage so you may have the best motives, but without the other spouses help you cant do it. You can't go back and change everything in your life either. Sometimes it would be more destructive and confusing. Consider this: A man is married and divorced he then remarries another woman who has never been married. He has 2 children. Would God have him to leave her (this is his current wifes 1st marriage remember) and go back to his 1st wife? Then his current wife would be alone with 2 children. Would she be left out of the loop and as she can't back to her 1st spouse.? This would leave a mother and two children who havent done anything wrong without a father and husband would that be Gods will? I don't know if that was more confusing than helping... If possible you are better to get back together if the both of you can reconcile. If she is not willing or there are just unreconcilable differences God allowed for divorce. (you just have to be sure you aren't the one pushing for the speration if she is willing to work on it) I agree with what everyone else has noted, you need to search your heart and decide for yourself. Do you feel God wants you to try and get back together? Only you and God know your heart so this is a matter someone else can't really tell you what to do. I pray God would lead you into what is right. I believe you are on the right track my friend as you are questioning. It's a hard subject God be with you. Casey |
