Subject: bible reference to support remarrying |
Bible Note: Dear kkid: I would disagree with New Creature. There are many carnal christians who have fallen into sin of all types. Now, I want to carefully point out I believe divorce is not an option for a christian couple. Adultry is not a reqired for divorce, niether is it grounds for divorce. What is at the root of divorce? Pride and hardness of heart, pure sin! God hates sin! But loves the sinner. I would suggest that any couple can work out anything! "IF" they are willing to forgive and seek Gods will. That my friend is the problem. Sad but in a day when instant gratification is "a personal right" and no one is willing to pe patient and let God work, which may take several years. Usually one goes their own way and unites with a nother person. At that point there is no way to reunite the couple. What now? Does not God forgive all sin the same way? You would be free to remarry, but only a christian. One word of caution, most second marriages fave a failure rate double that of first marriages. I would suggest some heavy duty counseling with a very well qualfied degreed christian counselor. If you don't find out you what you failures were, you are certian to repeat them, with someone new. Marriage is a covenant, the higest form of contract. Be very certian you walk with God is seeking healing, and it may well not be possible for you to heal to the point you can remarry. Paul tells us marriage hampers our ability to serve Christ. Any person who feels incomplets being single has some issues to work at. We are not completed by the person we marry, but become joiny partners for life, and Christ. Hope this helps. agape, justme |
