Divorce can be repented of by Christians, if someone is sincere. For those who weren't Christians at the time it's irrelevant.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You're butchering the context of it. What you are saying is a totally radical fundamentalist interpretation. It's a sign of immaturity. but you're probably from a background of radical fundamentalists, so it's not surprising.

Well it is certain that God hates all sin, but there is only one unpardonable sin and it is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit not divorce

So if you blaspheme only once you're automatically going to hell? Since it is inforgiveable, and all? And since you can only get into heaven via forgiveness...
Which would mean anyone who was of a religion besides christianity before becoming christian has already blasphemed by believing in blasphemous faiths, by that principle pretty much everyone who is not raised and lives as a Christian has already secured their place in hell.
Context, context context! Symbolism! Allegory! Literary devices!

mpok- I've never thought about the act blaspheming in the way you just explained it. That makes me wonder though, *when* does God truly give up on trying to turn a sinner toward Him during our final Judgement? What's His true "breaking point" for a sinner, unbeliever, or non-repentant?

Oh so when divorce is not the case and the abuser is financially irresponsible, and the creditors and government can come after the legal spouse, he or she should just support the abuser for the rest of their lives?
That is the law in case you haven't taken your head out of the sand long enough to notice. Or maybe you were just too busy admiring the purple sky in your world till your head went back in the sand.

How can God have a breaking point when that is a completely human and nondivine concept? Infinite patience and mercy by definition has no breaking point. This is why a strict critical application of allegory and symbolism must be applied when interpreting scripture.

He doesn't have to offer evidence. You do that with every word that comes out of your mouth.

The majority opinion confirms that Satan has used his main weapon against mankind. Religion. The church of unbelief has arrived as was foretold by God to happen at the time of THE END. The unbelieving church that is afraid to trust in the living God.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NKJV)
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

Bottom line, don't ever listen to someone who says you shouldn't divorce an abusive spouse. That's misguided in the most serious sense. Humans are fallible, we make mistakes. And sometimes that mistake can be marrying the wrong person. Just because you make that mistake you shouldn't be damned to a life of misery or loneliness.
