Me and pretty much the rest of the civilized/sane world lol
Civilized people don't run out on their familys.
I don't refute scripture; how YOU interpret anything is up to you; however, this may or may not reflect well upon your capacity to understand what it means to be 'normal' in a society today.
So your basically gonna ignore the verses and cop out. Ignorance is bliss.
I have a very good refutation; If suddenly YOU die, and your wife becomes a widow, according to the Bible, it is demanded BY GOD that your wife marry your brother.....is this what you command of your wife if in the event of your untimely death, would you command her, as God does, to marry your brother? If your answer is yes, then I believe whatever you say. According to the Bible, your wife NOT marrying her brother-in-law is adultery; would you follow the EXACT guidelines the Bible commands in the untimely event of your passing? Yes or no?
You are being dishonest now. It was never adultry to disagree marrying your brothers wife, however it was deemed as not supporting your tribe and your inhertence. How later it became prohibited. Alot of the Law was written because of the hardness of the Jews hearts.
And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is abhorrent: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless. - Leviticus 20:21
'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife; it is your brother's nakedness - Leviticus 18:16
Now the word "brother" we see in Deuteronomy 25:5 actually means their fellow hebrews. As the marrying of close cousins was forbidden in the bible. In fact the word for brother used in Deuteronomy 25:5 means literally next kinsman and was used in order to keep inheritence within the hebrews and not become impure by marrying their pagan neighbors. Again the reason of the law was to keep up the distinction of the tribes of Israel and inheritences.
The law also talks about giving your wife a bill of divorce if you wanted to divorce. But again Jesus says "At the begining, it was not so". If you knew about the survival of the hebrews during the OT and the keeping of their bloodline and inheritence you will see why this was commanded in the law.
The Law permitted a wife to be divorced, not as though it were just absolutely speaking, but on account of the Jews' hardness of heart, as Our Lord declared (Matthew 19:8).
If my wife hit me, and suddenly abused me, there be NO cooling down period; I would take my kids, file for divorce, and petition with social services to keep her away. Violence in a home is a big NO-NO, especially with kids around and any amount of violence is a one-strike you're out kind of deal. Its intolerable; zero tolerance, especially if kids are around.
I agree violence is a no no. But then again domestic violence has increased a great deal since no fault divorce has legalized. Also child abuse is the single highest in single mother households.
oh yeaaaah, Im sooooo ad homienm attacking you! lol Werent you the one who inferred my father's alcholism was caused by my mothers' desire for a career, and me being born? And I have just called you crazy, or rationally incapacitated but, isn't saying something dreadful and awful like that crazy?
Oh, poor kid can dish it out but can't take it? Heres a tissue.
WIth the current state of marriage today I can see why some spouses goto substances. People with your ideals make familys sterile, unloving and selfish. Instead of mothers bonding with their children daycare if suggested and the public schools raise them.
And personally being married to a staunch feminist would drive any man through the wall. Why do you think most of them have been divorced 3-4 times or have become lesbian??! lol. Look at Freidans and Steinems marriage/divorce record. Their failures when it comes to family ethic and thats why their proproganda is so dangerous.
So, if you were in charge, would you make more difficult to get divorced?
Also, another question; Do you think women should never, ever under any circumstance have a career of their own?
Is she disobeying the Lord if she doesn't want to get married ever
Of course Id make it more difficult to get divorce. I wouldn't get rid of divorce entirely due to the people who really need it, but no-fault divorce must go. Thats what it means, divorce without any fault of the other party. It needs to go just like Roe Wade and gay marriage needs to go. We as a people need to respect and value marriage more than we do.
And yes a woman can have a career. But rather it would be better suited to say, a family buisness where she is able to be near her children. If the family is struggling then yes she would need to work, but work should always be number 3 or 4 while God,family and children are always at first. Too many times feminism puts the career role above the family role. This idea has let to too many so called "career women" neglecting their children.
A woman being single is fine. As long as she is doing it for the right reasons(to live as a devout). However many women, unless they have really strong faith, tend to burn with desire, and thus for those women it would better for them to be married as the apostle Paul says.
