    Divorce & Remarriage thoughts

    Eatenbylocusts, you asked some excellent questions. I'll give some possible answers. The reason why a brother would seek to reconcile his unsaved wife to himself is because God sought to reconcile that brother to Himself. Sin separates a wife from her husband in the same way it separates man...

    Divorce & Remarriage thoughts

    It’s not a sin for a man to have sex with his wife, even if they’ve gotten divorced. But if he has caused his wife to go to another man, then he is in a pickle. He would need to hope that his wife and/or the other man hear what Jesus said. The other man commits adultery with her, regardless of...

    What Defines Adultery with Another Man's Wife?

    mpok1519, widows are free to enter into a new marriage with another person (1st Cor. 7:39; Rom. 7:2-3). "In the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven" (Mat. 22:30). Nathan45, I admit that your interpretation of the harlot of Babylon...

    What Defines Adultery with Another Man's Wife?

    I see what you're saying about Deuteronomy, but my question is whether the 2nd man to marry her would be committing adultery. Here's why I think he would. The Lord says that it's adultery when her husband is the one who put her away (Mat. 5:32) and when she is the one who put her husband away...

    Considering Divorce

    Janman345, thank you for the reply. I think I should have read the "Controversial Topics Rule" before I posted. According to that rule, adultery is only to be discussed in a different forum. You're correct that outside of the red and blue scripture, all of the information in my post is not from...

    What Defines Adultery with Another Man's Wife?

    I'm a lifelong member of the Roman Catholic organization, who was born again in 2005. I do not have the Catholic icon, because it would erroneously say "Faith: Catholic" when you drag your mouse over the icon. I admit that my church is probably the "great harlot" (Rev. 17:1) and the "mother of...

    Considering Divorce

    He's almost right. It's not that you are never be able to be with another man, but that another man is never able to be with you. "Whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery" (Luke 16:18). Whenever a woman becomes separated from her husband, the man of God is not to...

    just dont know what to do :(

    "Do not deprive one another, unless it is with consent for a time, so that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. And come together again so that Satan does not tempt you for your incontinence" (1st Cor. 7:5). You and your husband are in the time of fasting and prayer. This is a...

    The 2300 Years

    Hello OntheDL. I hope it's only the 15-day disabled list. ;) Wow! That's a lot of information. Thanks. The “cut off” analogy with the string is very interesting. Now I have a better idea why SDA’s also count the 2300 years from 457 BC. Also, I didn’t know there were so many dailies. I figured...

    Divorce & Remarriage thoughts

    Hello DJ and thanks for sharing your testimony. The Lord says, "Whoever puts away (aorist tense) his wife, except for a matter of whoredom, causes (present tense) her to commit adultery (present tense); and whoever marries (aorist tense) her that is put away (past perfect tense) commits...

    The 2300 Years

    Greetings k4c and haldog. Thanks for the replies. Haldog, you are describing the interpretation of those who believe the 70th week is in the future. It uses the Jewish calendar (360 day year), and amazingly, the 69th week ends exactly on the eve of Passover in 33 AD. I described the...

    The 2300 Years

    Hello SDA’s, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Daniel John (no kidding), and I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church. Through my own independent studies of scripture, I have come to most of the same fundamental beliefs that SDA's have come to, except for one thing. I seem to be offset...
