Yes, Ive "made up my mind" about Gods Word. Period. What HE says goes.
You'll get no argument from me on that! And why in the world would I "need" to discuss other peoples varying interpretations of Gods Word? I just simply take it for what it says. thats all. I don't try to make it into something else.
I have been accused of being "legalistic", etc, and if thats what I get for
sticking to Gods Word for exactly what it says, Oh well. What can I say?
I just feel better, and safer if I just accept it for what it says.
I dont understand why thats so hard for other people to understand.

And theres really nothing that you can "help" me with.

Then what was the purpose of your post? It sounds to me like you are asking if God has someone for you. If there's nothing we can help you with, then why even ask?

I'm also curious now why you are so defensive about it. You could have said the exact same thing, you did say the exact same thing in the post of. Secondly, like DW, I don't understand why you are even bringing it up if you are refusing to discuss things, if you are willing to discuss things, you don't belong on an internet forum.

I agree with you.
That's what the bible says.
It is very very clear.

People can jump up and down saying how 'legalistic' someone can be, but that is what the word is, and it is black and white.

If I were to get divorced, would I still want to re-marry?
Yes. and I would probably be the first people jumping up and down saying that it is 'legalistic'. But I know deep down in my heart that it would have been a sin.. and I would probably try and justify it in some way or another (like saying how we are saved by Grace and not legalism)

It's one thing to say "it's a sin", it's another to say that and act like it's unforgivable, which is what I mean by legalistic.

I believe that there is no "the one". The one is the person you marry. You're choosing that person to be your " one " for life.

Divorce happens, sadly,but as I understand there are biblical grounds for remarriage such as adultery. But I'll leave it to someone smarter than I to expand on that.
