    Wife wanted divorce, now separation

    I am so sorry for the pain you are going through in your marriage. I think you are right. It is almost never a good idea to separate UNLESS there is a clear, concise plan in place to guide the separation. Things like....how long, individual and joint actions moving towards reconciliation...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    No, if they remarry outside of a biblically allowable reason (fornication/unchasity/abandonment); they commit adultery. For those who have done this unknowingly, I believe there is forgiveness for their sin of ignorance. I also said that only God knows what He will and will not forgive, so my...

    I love you very much brother HM. I believe you have a love for the Lord and a passion for truth and what is right. For the little my opinion truly matters, I believe with all my heart what the word of God promises us... John3:16-21 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten...

    HM, I'm also not sure I answered all your questions. It is a challenge for me to keep up with you! YOU! :wave: I do know that what I know about you allows me to respect what you believe and that you defend your beliefs so well. Whether you are living in adultery is not my call to make...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    HM, the reason I concede the allowance is only because the Lord has not shown me definitively that it doesn't! The reason I am studying it again is because I believe Jesus' Sermon on the Mount raised the bar on many things; including marriage/divorce/remarriage. I also am not convinced...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    Sherman, thank you for your questions. I believe... Marriage is under the authority of the Almighty One who created it. I believe also that man has the ability to "put marriage asunder" under government rule. I believe it is "sin" to do so because God said DON'T DO IT! I also believe that...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    I am willing to concede in my own mind that an exception exists for "fornication"/unchasity. God would not have divorced His bethrothed illegally. For those who have divorced and remarried under this allowance; there is NO sin for the one sinned against.

    YOU raise an excellent point. I will delete that statement. Uncalled for.

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    This excerpt from a longer article on MDR is one of the best explanations I have found on God's divorce of national Israel. God followed the law in this divorce. BEFORE a wedding took place, HE found sexual immorality within His bride to be. He divorced her as the law allowed. We too have been...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    When I speak of MDR as being a "walk in the flesh" I am speaking to: 1 Cor. 2:12-13) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God, (13) which things we also speak, not in words taught by human...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    http://www.totalhealth.bz/divorce-and-remarriage-adultery.htm And here is yet ANOTHER opinion on MDR. Someone's truth will always come forward - this is how "doctrine" is born. What I have found is that each of us who are called a child of the living Savior Jesus Christ has been given His...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    Matthew 5:31-32. "It was also said, 'whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery." In Matt. 5:31-32...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    What are your thoughts on this commentary? In both Matthew and Mark the Pharisees come to Jesus and test him by asking him whether it is lawful for a man to divorce his wife. They evidently have in mind the passage in Deuteronomy 24:1 which simply describes divorce as a fact rather than...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    Sealed, How do you know this? Divorce is given as an option by Jesus and in Deut 24 for unchasity. Is your opinion that only the person's who remarry outside of this allowance are in adultery OR all who remarry?

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    I love ya HM! :) I would not even think it right for that woman to stay in the vicinity of that man! In these cases, I advocate separation. Now, my question to you is this? Is this "batterer" any less loved by God than the one he batters? Is his sin greater somehow that God would not...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    Christians have NO business taking one another to court. We are even given direct order not to do so. I Cor 6:1 ¶ Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world...

    Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage

    There is so much I've wanted to say in this thread. It is so much that I didn't know where to begin, so I said little. Seek the Lord regarding marriage/divorce/remarriage if you want the truth. God will reveal it to you. None of us who believe in the Lord Jesus can ever say that Jesus...
