When does this never-ending barrage of diatribes against divorced people turn into baiting? Seriously. This has gone on long enough hasn't it?
apparently never.
From my experience these folks make a living of doing what they do so its pretty unlikely that they are going to give up.
Thankfully their doctrines are exposed for what they are pretty easily. ;)

If no one will declare this as baiting and put a stop to it, then I suggest that everyone click the "ignore" button and let the discussion be held solo.
Good suggestion.
Ive found that they do it often because they can get a response. Thats the main reason one thread on another forum has gone on for thousands of posts.

The only reason I stay involved is because I know sometimes folks wander into threads like these and if we dont expose the error then we leave those who have legitimate questions at the mercy of these types of people bent on destroying Gods marriages.

Id love to be able to just ignore people like the one who started this thread. But I realize if all of us take that position then there is no one left to present the truth that they conveniently leave out.

For the masses tho, I very strongly urge them to just ignore these folks just as you suggest. They very quickly tuck tail and run when their doctrines are exposed for the falsehoods they are, but Ive noticed if they have those they believe they can convince into divorcing they will continue to post relentlessly as long as someone is present that they believe they can sway.

My experience is that if someone can and does expose their error as mercilessly as they are with our brothers and sisters, and then they have no real audience of anyone who might actually be listening, they dont hang around very long.

It is pretty characteristic of these, however, to do these hit and run postings even when they are being refuted.
Unless the rules actually say they cant discuss the topic here, such as in the Remarried forum, we can expect that they will keep showing up from time to time hoping that they can lure just one more unsuspecting brother or sister into divorcing.

Anyone who has been divorced would never recommend it as an option unless 1) Physical and or Emotional abuse is continuous or 2) There is adultery going on.

Now men, didn't Jesus say that if we lust in our heart after another woman we are guilty of committing adultery with her? How can you exuse yourself from causing your marriage to go sour with those words?

Secondly if you do divorce, you'll still have problems and most likely they'll be multiplied. So, it's really better just to try to work things out. But..... It takes two. It is better for you to divorce if the other one cannot forgive.

Finally, if you do divorce and your wife remarries Jesus said that you as the man are guilty of forcing her to commit adultery. However, at that point, using Jesus' own words that once she does, aren't you then free to remarry? It's a sick concept but so is sin. I don't see most divorcees at a young age willing to remain single.

It's a mess... don't divorce if you can avoid it.

Just a note I forgot to add: IF you were never married before and your first marriage is to a divorcee, then you can remarry.

This may sound exciting and adventurous to some, but from what I have witnessed it is not. Some of the 'first time married people' become real attached to their spouses, who have left them to go back to their first spouses, or never stop talking about their first spouses.

On an interesting note: The husband of the cheating woman I have posted in the poll ( she committed suicide and poisoned her children in the bargain, only one child lived) came to visit us about 7 weeks ago. They were married a year before their divorce. He is now a widower, father of three and husband to a woman who is following in the footsteps of his first (deceased) wife. He is 31 years old. He represents the poll age of 18.

He is seeking divorce from his wife because she is unfaithful. I can see where it is headed. He really loves his children and I don't think he is interested in the 'marriage' business any more.

His father killed his mother, then shot himself. He was a toddler when this happened. Please pray for him. He is a loveable person, but his choice in woman are...well.. you can read for yourself. He is a little insecure and looking for love in the wrong places. Please pray for his salvation.

Since the thread is Divorce (why you sould, or shouldn't), I'll give my opinion on why you should divorce.

Divorce is good, mmkay? It lets you experience many different partners over your lifetime, all within the context of the beautiful institution of marriage. Personally, I try to get married and divorced at least every two years. Any more than that is a little too expensive, lawyer fees and all. Any less makes it a bit too hard to find the next husband. Men seem to like that two-year buffer zone.

Another positive of divorce is all the jewelry you can accumulate. I have a fantastic collection of wedding and engagement rings that will comfortably pay for my retirement. They are almost always provided to the wife in any pre-nup you may have to sign, and if you choose spouses wisely you can get a very nice ring in the deal.

Don't try to sell them on ebay or at pawn shops, though. I've found street merchants offer the best prices. I have a nice little nest egg already, and I still have many more years ahead of me to marry and divorce.

We've already covered, repeatedly, the reasons not to divorce. I thought it was time for a fair and balanced response, so let's see some more reasons TO divorce. It's fun! :thumbsup:

And don't forget the added bonus if you have kids - you have free babysitting every other weekend! More time to hunt for the next victim . . . I mean husband.

That is a very good point. Let's not forget child support. If you have at least one child in each marriage, that's a good chunk of change coming in!

Remember, folks, divorce and remarriage is just good business. It's adventurous and exciting! :thumbsup:

well, I dont think anyones actually here looking for permission to remarry from your point of view :)
And your observation is not scriptural in the least.
Provide chapter and verse that even alludes to what youve asserted above.
again...that has nothing to do with GODS law.

Hbr 4:12For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The reality check is this. The married partner of a divorced Christian is bound to them by flesh, not spirit. No matter what your views are and how you may cling to them; I just want you to know that GOD can speak to them without you!

If God speaks to them in a dream, or convicts them of their life living and tells them that being married to a divorcee is wrong. It may hurt them, but if they really love God, they may leave you anyway. It is a two way street my friends.

My mother (StarWhite) dropped this subject a long time ago, but for what I see people suffer out their, I better keep up this 'reality check' for people who are not aware.

Please be aware that you don't own them and they can leave you any time whether you like it or not. I am just trying to keep you abrest of what could happen. I don't like bad surprises and I'm sure you don't either!

Please help me show Moriah that she is loved with Prayer and Encouragement
Did snoochface read this post? Seems to me that she loves and respects, and admires me alot. Think that's the reason why she follows me 'like white on rice?' (That's a Bahamian saying folks)

I remember praying for her when she ridiculed my post on Men and Women. My prayers are still with you snoochface!:prayer:
