    Abandoned by my wife. Need theological advice.

    Thanks for your statement of confirmation. Yes I'm solid in my convictions as well at this point. In late December the Lord gave me a powerful conviction that this relationship WAS indeed adultery and that I needed to repent of it and stop trying to reconcile with her. Meanwhile, the stakes...

    Romans 13 also goes on to DEFINE those authorities. I wrote a rather indepth study on the topic a while ago. The modern secular governments are the opposite as to what is described in this passage. What we are ruled by in this age is "powers" not "authorities", for authority always flows...

    I don't think civil law has any business messing with the covenant of marriage. I'm only interested in following God's rules for marriage. Clearly the word of God has a lot to say about such matters. I'm just needing a proper analysis on the relevant scriptures relating to its binding nature...

    Thanks. Easier said than done of course. #1 I struggle with the theology behind it. Many passages in scripture would indicate I need to remain faithful till death. 1 Cor 7:15 says I'm not in bondage if the unbeliever is unwilling to live with me. But some say that the bondage is simply...

    I can't get past being circumcised

    I simply cannot believe this conversation is happening. Seriously... Jesus - God in the flesh - was circumcised, and He never whined about it. Get over it. Not to be harsh, but this is ridiculous. I'm circumcised, and I think mine looks quite nice. :) I've seen photos of penises which are...

    Please help, just broke up with my g/f.

    Yeah you can always keep praying for her. But there is no guarantee God will soften her heart and bring her unto Himself. I wouldn't wait forever to find the girl who is meant for you. Oh, and if she does come around, make sure its GENUINE before getting married. Lots and lots and lots of...

    Very well said SteveNZ. Perfect response. Deanpotter, please take this advice to heart, you do NOT want to destroy the rest of your life by being yoked with an unbeliever. It may not seem like a big deal now but trust me it will be a HUGE issue down the road. Run now, while you're not in a...

    Abandoned by my wife. Need theological advice.

    Which brings me to why I’m here: (continued from previous post) Sometime roughly a year ago, our mens group at church was in a big debate about what to do with the theology behind divorce and remarriage. Someone who had left the church was in the situation that he had divorced a...

    Greetings brothers and sisters in Christ. This is going to be rather long, so if you don’t want to read it all just skip to the end and I’ll give the short version. I've got a huge dilemma in my life that I need some help with theologically. Its a very emotional issue for me, and I’ve...
