i think that if a wife or husband is being abused i think the vows have already have been broken and like adultery it betrayal of trust!i believe a child or a spouse who is being abused has a right to get out and start a new life because also there are those who want to rip life away from there victim and that victim has the right leave that life and regain a new one !for dont forget those who have lost there lives in abuse!and that is cheating is it not a person dont deserve that !besides you dont know who someone is when you are with them for ten years i mean look at these people who get on the internet and d bad things you wuldve never thought of them face to face !so to conclude this i think GOD wants us to be happy and i think we should pray for these people and the victims and ask for forgiveness!but i also think GOD wants us to help ourselves in some way after all if you ask GOD for something to eat cause you hunger he still wants you to get up and help yourself i think GOD wants us to be strong!he doesnt want us hurt!:cool:

Interesting point of view. I mostly agree with it.

Biblically the Bible does not support divorce for any reason outside of adultery/fornication. But, it does support separation.

Personally, I know the effects of abuse. And I say, sometimes you have to do what you have to do to survive. Christianity is supposed to propogate God's love. It is not God's intention that anyone should submit to violence.

The "marital unfaithfulness" exception Jesus speaks of in Matt. 19:9 is clearly limited to adultery when you look at the original language.

Abuse is dispicable, but not a Biblical excuse to divorce. Separation may be possible in extreme cases, but the rule for Christians on divorce is not to divorce, and if you do, you may only remarry your ex-spouse. (1 Cor. 7:10-11, 39)

I too know first hand the effects of abuse, and they have been devistating for my children, PTSD, night fears, anxiety & depression and the list goes on!

I believe in the case of abuse, God will excuse divorce.

srry im not feelking very christian tonight


Dear Woody

Sorry to hear that. We all get down from time to time.


BUT


If this is the case, please try this.

Start thinking of each BLESSING you received from GOD.
Then start giving HIM THANKS and PRAISE for EACH ONE of these BLESSINGS.


Just make sure you let GOD know JUST how THANKFUL you really are!!!



EVEN IN THOSE DOWN TIMES ALWAYS REMEMBER:





X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O
( click on the x and drag to the O ) ( then see who is with you ) steven

Someone who is being abused should certainly get themselves out of that situation. They should not feel obligated to continue living with someone who is abusing them. Leaving an abusive situation is not the same thing as getting a divorce.

If there are children involved, the number one priority should be to get those children to safety.

Divorce is fine if done under certain circumstances.

If you're not happy because you have a distant spouse who's not involved with you, or you're abused, there's nothing wrong with divorce.

Yes there's that passage in Matthew, but if you look at what the Pharisees asked Jesus:

"Matt 19:3:
Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"

Like if you just got tired of the person.

Jesus was just making a point that it's NOT okay to divorce for just any reason.
