Should A Christian Man Marry A Divorced Woman?

[Maria Billingsley]

Where did I say that hormones are the only thing keeping men and women together?

I said that people do not "fall" in love, only into hormones. Love is a decision, not something you cannot control.

Parents do not decide to love their children and then have the ability to decide not to love them anymore. It is unconditional. Same with true love between a man and a woman. This is something unique to you and not necessarily a typical view point. Be blessed.

Do you think God loves us unconditionally?

Then God has given a gift that you would have no issues being single. Not all of us have been given that gift.

I have many issues being single. But my conscience is more precious to me than going after some fleshy issues.

Also, there are plenty of single women ;-)

If getting married was only a fleshly issue and we were supposed to do as you do, how do you suppose the human race would continue, how would new Christians be born?

There is a serious flaw in your thinking.

Parental love is something different from love between man and woman.

Do you think God loves us unconditionally?

Not sure what you mean by that. Its pretty general. You must probably specify what is in your mind.

New Christians are not born of flesh, but of Spirit. John 1.

Specifically asking you .....if you think God loves YOU unconditionally.

That would depend on your age. I was 40 when my wife divorced me. I am 45 now. Women who have never been married or divorced are few and far between. I also don't have the version you do to marrying a divorced woman.

I fully believe that God brought my girlfriend to me and me to her. We both prayed for the person that He has for us to be made known and three days later we were talking to each other. Our relationship is nothing like I have ever experienced before. She builds me up and doesn't tear me down. There are no heated arguments. We work together to solve problems. I could go on and on about how different this relationship is.

So, yes. I do believe in remarriage after divorce and there are many others with stories similar to my own.

What love. To whom.

To specify a question is not to find a lexicon definition of the word ;-) It simply means you must be more concrete.

Thats your choice and your responsibility. I have a different opinion. There are some things I would simply not sacrifice to just have a woman.

You are using unbiblical term. If you do not want to explain it, then I have nothing to answer to.

 

[Isilwen]

You are arguing semantics now and I believe you know what I meant.

I have sacrificed nothing to be in a relationship.

I do not even know where you are going with that. The problem today is that there are too many people, not the opposite one. You are afraid that we will die out as a species?

I never said that I was afraid.

You basically said that marriage was a fleshly issue. If we were to take that to its natural conclusion, Christians shouldn't be getting married. New Christians first have to be born the natural way and choose to become Christian. If Christians never married and didn't have sex outside of marriage, how would new Christians be born?

Ok sorry, I do not want to add to your confusion, I will revise.
Does God love you?

 

[mlepfitjw]

Let God be the judge. Seek God in prayer.

This. Also Marriage is a complicated thing. Even though it seems that marriage has not come into my life yet. There is certain aspect of marriage that has been made known to me in life, and context of the bible.

Do you love each other in the right way? Encourage, support, and are their to help each other, which looks to be mentally, spiritually, even through hard times, and difficulties? Is there desire to be faithful to one another, and have you both spoke to each other about this?

@ChristServant at the end of the day it is the individuals choice to decide what is best for their situation, and it is good to make sure where you and the other person stands when it comes to being with each other.

May grace, peace, mercy, abound from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
