Tate, I have been where you are. I would examine myself to the point that even the slightest sin would send me into deep sadness. I wanted to live each day perfectly, not mess up at all, and then that became such a burden to me. I began to feel discouraged and I would tell God, "I can't live for...

"True, salvation can be lost through mortal sin, but such sins are by nature GRAVE ONES, and not the kind that a person living the Christian life is going to slip into committing on the spur of the moment, without deliberate thought and consent." I am not a Catholic, but curious to know more...

That is why most don't think that God would ever allow them to go to hell. What do you consider evil? We do not see ourselves as bad people. We're decent enough, right? We don't murder, steal, etc. so even the little things we do that aren't that bad surely couldn't send us to hell. That's where...

If this is the case, why do we bother with signing a marriage contract? Christians can just do what the world does and just live with someone.

Joseph and Mary were husband and wife before they had sexual relations. Matthew 1:18-19 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just...

The Jewish marriage occurs when the ketubbah contract is signed. For the gentiles, marriage occurs when a marriage contract is signed. Three stages of a marriage in the Bible: Stage 1: Signing the "ketubbah" contract: Creating the Marriage Bond A. The bride would chose her husband and her...

That is so sad to hear. I hope he will come to his senses. I am remarried to a Christian man and my ex-husband was/is an unbeliever. If perpetual adultery were true, not only would I be sinning by going back to my first spouse (Deut. 24:1-4) I would be sinning by being unequally yoked.

Agreed! I've read through your other replies and I have to say you're spot on and I agree with you. Blessings

The act of remarriage IS a sin when the divorce wasn't on Biblical grounds (sexual immorality or an unbeliever departing).

That is exactly right. We must turn away from sin! The OP is saying that if the marriage is adulterous, ie: perpetual adultery, the only way to turn from that sin is to divorce, however, it's easily shown how Jesus was not speaking about "perpetual adultery", but an act of adultery. Turning...

I don't think anyone is saying it's not a sin to remarry if you divorced without Biblical reason. The OP says that people who remarry are in "perpetual adultery", when clearly, the Bible shows us that when one remarries without Biblical reason, it is an ACT of adultery. Blessings

I realize the OP is several years old, but I’d like to mention a few things as this is something I’ve been studying the past couple of months and I’d like to show you some things to consider as I believe that you are mistaken on the interpretation of the scriptures. BETROTHAL...

BABerean2, thank you for these links!

I believe if you watched the documentary, it would open your eyes to the truth regarding this topic. We'll leave it at that, I guess.

Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. I guess we will agree to disagree. I highly encourage you to search the scriptures and be sure you are not deceived. The video I posted will help greatly. It...
