Because God heals whom he wants to ... He has his reasons we must accept them.

100% man 100% God

Stand tall and stand firm for the truth. I completely agree with nebula. Be respectful and polite when it comes time to explain your actions. Hostility will only further aggrevate an already tense situation. God is there and he can see you through this. Its life's trials that are ment to bring us closer to him and rely on his strength. Remember bad things happen Satan is always working, just because something bad happens does not mean your being punished. The fact that you are a christian usually means life is harder because Satan wants you to abandon your faith or make you ineffective against others. Use this time as a witness to God and your faith.

I believe the moment a person wrongfully takes advantage of the compassion they are receiving is the moment they are using that person as a walking mat. Agreed, but not everyone realizes they are taking advantage and some do honestly appreciate it and have every intention of paying it back or doing something about it and dont. Is it still wrong even if its not intended or only if its a concious effort?

This is a very contentious point in a marriage. When one spouse continuely oversteps bounds concsiously or unconciously. Some people just do not have control or have not learned control. This can be in regards to emotional control, finances, love, etc ..... Its easy to love someone so much they break you. At what point does that passion, compassion, and love you have for an individual have to stop for logic. Is it worth risking divorce or seperation? Even with friends mercy, compassion, and forgivness does not mean you should be walked over. At what point does God say enough is enough? ... Does he? ... After all he gives us our entire lives no matter if we hurt him everyday if we repent and turn at the last momment we are saved. At what point do you cut them off. Can compassion only go so far?

When does compassion cross the line into becoming a walking mat?

GOD He is worshiped (Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33). was called God (John 20:28; Heb. 1:8) He is prayed to (Acts 7:59). He was called Son of God (Mark 1:1) He is sinless (1 Pet. 2:22; Heb. 4:15). He knows all things (John 21:17). He gives eternal life (John 10:28). All the fullness of deity dwells in Him (Col. 2:9). MAN He worshiped the Father (John 17). He was called man (Mark 15:39; John 19:5). He was called Son of Man (John 9:35-37) He prayed to the Father (John 17). He was tempted (Matt. 4:1). He grew in wisdom (Luke 2:52). He died (Rom. 5:8). He has a body of flesh and bones (Luke 24:39). Jesus was 100% man and 100% God

Pharaoh hardened his own heart before God closed it for good. "But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said" (exodus 8:15). "But this time also Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the people go" (exodus 8:32). "But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said to Moses" (exodus 9:12).

This has to be the worst advice ever. Tell him to stop or you will divorce him? I can tell you now most people people dont respond well to threats. Honestly, it took me three or four times to even understand what you are saying. I dont think there is a coma or even a period anywhere inside this post. I completely agree with Quizzy and in her advice and that the poll is flawed. It will take alot of prayer, work, and determination on both parts, but it can be done.

People seem to forget one thing. Jesus forgave sin ON THE CROSS. Any sin that we would commit has already been forgiven. When we confess and repent, we are acknowledging what we did was wrong and agreeing with God about it, and then work to change the direction we were going. That means if the person was truly a born again believer any sin they would commit was already forgiven.

Weather you are saved or unsaved it matters not. Ignorance of the law of God does not provide an escape.

There is a recently completed study in Bible Study about marriage and divorce. Just for clarification I am a firm believer in "Unto death do us part". Bible Study - Marriage

" seperation and a bill of divorce are two different things. " A bill of divorce was given by Mosses not by God only because of the hardness of mens hearts and their unwillingness to do God's commandment in regards to the permemenancy of marriage. A seperation is to dissolve the marriage, not just to leave and stay somewhere else. Seperate means " To put Asunder " apart: into parts or pieces; "he took his father's watch apart"; "split apart"; "torn asunder" Mat 19:6 Therefore they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate When Christ returned everything returned to their original intention. When looking up the original word we can see that divorce was implied when looking at the greek meanings. Divorce was rampant then as it is now, heck even the apostles didnt like hearing these words. Matthew 19:10 His disciples said to Him, If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not good to marry.

Spock I see your post, but you forgot about the this part 1Co 7:11 But if she is indeed separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. You cant just clip it off and quote versus 12-15 Rom 7:3 So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress by becoming another man's wife. The intention certianly is made that if you are to divorce you are to remain unmarried. I dont know how these passages can be disregarded.
