faith pleases God

I stand with the desires of your heart, and am praying for you!

Of course Christ is not our servant. He is our Lord. We are slaves to Christ. Romans 1:1

I think if you are going to ask that kind of question you should at least provide some reasons why you are asking. I can't see anything I've said that would indicate I wasn't. Accusing me of breaking the rules should have some evidence. After all one must be a christian to post in the Inner Court. In any case yes I am a christian. Just asking. I needed to know if you confess Christ is Lord. Besides you claim the Bible, Christ and Paul contradict itself. Unbelievers think this, not believers.

Abuse is not a godly way of dealing with another person. So, I think that a separation in the case of what you ask is in order. What if an abuser never repents? God bless, GE I've been neglected and abused. Mentally, sexually, emotionally, physically, etc... Am I in the right to leave my spouse with 3 kids and murder my family? Firstly why would you need to leave your kids behind, if your wife did all those things to you, what kind of a father would you be leaving your kids with a mother who is clearly unstable? Is its God will for you to be in an Idoltery marriage? Because I am in a covenant and have hope.

So apostle Paul is following a different religion then? Paul does condone divorce for a different reason. Here is a interesting question. What is adultery? We know Israel committed adultery without a sexual act. So adultery is not neccesarily sexual. Since the root word can be translated in a non-sexual way then the question needs to be asked No offense, seriously, I take the personal out of this and do not mean this as an attack. We are in a doctrine forum, not a personal counseling one. I really don't, and I do love you. But this proves my point exactly How is this debated??? There are different types of adultery and what is alluded to here in Matthew should be obvious. No one can put away their wife except for the Greek word porneia which has been translated as fornication. Which is illicit sexual intercourse. moichaō is the word used for adultery which is to have unlawful intercourse with another's wife Perhaps because you are newer to the site but posting like this is seen as YELLING online. Which is a bit rude. I'm sure that wasn't your intent. Just an FYI. God bless, GE FYI I've been here for 5 years. I meant it as an emphasis...not yelling...sorry others yell.

In the passage being discussed in 1 corinthians. Since Jesus words according to you made it abundantly clear adultery was the only reason and there is no other then that just does not fit with what Paul says. Either Jesus was right when he said adultery is the only reason and Paul is wrong OR Jesus was wrong and Paul is right or the most logical and likely it isn't as clear cut as people like to think it is. If it is continuous denial with no justifiable reason then at the very least it could be considered tempting your partner to sin or causing them to stumble. by justifiable reason I mean things like ill health or injury or away or things like that. Are you a christian?

Is sexual abuse a reason for divorce? If denied sex and abused in this way, should we divorce? this could also be considered mental, emotional, and spiritual abuse. Our bodies are not our own. Is this abuse a cause for divorce?

In Matthew 19 it says whoever. This includes everyone. So if a unbeliever leaves for some reason other than adultery it is still wrong according to the words Jesus spoke. Yet Paul says look Jesus didn't know what he was talking about so instead do this. Where did Paul say Jesus didn't know what He was talking about?

But the scriptural text that was "specifically" quoted by faith pleases God IS without question speaking precisely about a "sexual act" which is deliberately being done by a spouse outside of the marriage bed. The scripture is not in any way shape or form speaking about what is known as spiritual adultery. Sexual immorality in that passage of text was given as a bilblical ground permitted by God for a divorce should one choose "not" to put up with a cheating spouse. And if the person chooses to divorce and remarry in that particular situation then their marriage bed in the eyes of God will not be defiled. The Apostle Paul in that particular passage of text in 1 Corinthians specifically said, "except for sexual immorality" (speaking of a sexual act outside of marriage). To stretch that particular passages into "non-sexual acts" is reaching for what is not clearly written within it. That is how translators have decided to interpret it. however consider the word used can mean either so you can't declare that. We know that translators change the way things are translated which gives false impressions. The worst time they did this is to make lusting a sin when it is is what you lust after that makes it right or wrong. If you want to disagree then you better explain why God divorced due to non sexual adultery and if you disagree with my comment about lusting then you need to explain why it was okay for Jesus to lust if lusting is automatically wrong. Note the word translated as lust in matt 5:28 is the same word used when Jesus describes how he is feeling about sharing the passover with the disciples. Also you should address the fact that Jesus said adultery is the ONLY reason for divorce yet nobody says hey wait Paul said there was another reason divorce was acceptable. If it was that hard and fast surely Paul would have made it clear if a unbelieving spouse leaves then the believer is not free to remarry yet it seems to indicate they are free to remarry. After all if adultery is the only reason then a unbelieving spouse leaving is not adultery so the remaining believer should treat it as if they were still married.

It's amazing. The same thing happens with grace to live a life in disobedience, unholiness, and unrepentance. I am not necessarily talking about a issue of being saved or unsaved. I am talking about living a life of lasciviousness and sin. Scriptures are being bent, distorted, ignored, and taken out of context. It's rampant, popular, and terrible!

How can someone defend a stance the Bible does not permit? I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery. How is this debated??? If someone holds to a different doctrine than what Christ teaches, what religion is that? Why justify disobedience? Only to feel okay about living in sin.
