[QUOTE="RestoreTheJoy, post: 73473615, member: 411383"] Oh, I answered why it exists. But I will answer again. Why did you tell your kids not to run out into the busy street? Why did you tell them not to get drunk or sleep with everything that moves (when they got older)? Why did you tell them not to spend $500 if they made $400? For their own protection. God gave us His Word to protect us from the bad outcomes that can arise when you go outside of the parameters He set for His people, as the Shepherd, to keep them safe. There are ALWAYS reasons for parameters set, whether by God or by the world (as in the case of signs, like "Road Closed") God isn't just the big funsucker, trying to keep us from enjoying life. On the contrary, He came that we may have ABUNDANT life but we don't do that by doing what He told us specifically not to do. You are right. If he gets a new wife a minute after the existing one dies, well that would be odd, because you don't marry someone in a minute. That would mean he had an ongoing relationship. It is FINE to have an ongoing FRIENDSHIP, but not to be committing adultery while his wife lives. I really don't understand your difficulty in seeing this, frankly. You wish to simply categorize and dismiss me and I don't care about that. But you are missing the point if you think that the Lord is all about rules and regulations to suck the fun out of life instead of to guide and protect people. [/QUOTE]
