defending "till death do us part"

[Sevenseas]

The most judgemental people are the ones who judge everyone but themselves

 

Yeah, I do read the Bible and in fact study as we are told to do.

 

It's you personally that I don't take seriously because you do not have a clue what scripture actually states yet you are on here

telling everyone that divorce is only ok for men

[A_Voice]

Sevenseas, what has caused Trinitron to hold to his unbalanced view is his assuming that Jesus allowed the man the right to get vengeance on his cheating wife by allowing him to divorce her. When that is how it is misunderstood then there is a case to take it that Jesus was very one sided. So it is that basic misunderstanding that Jesus allowed divorce in the first place that corrupts the thinking.

The reality is that divorce is not allowed for either one no matter what. Jesus calls for forgiveness, while the misunderstanding that divorce is allowed for adultery provides the avenue to NOT forgive. Just divorce her, throw her away like a dirty rag. This topic manifests a very basic level of knowing Christ. By having misunderstood the exception clause, a false image of Christ's character is created.  And propogated. And Jesus cringes under the slander and ignorance.

well, as the previous poster stated, a false image of Christ has been created

 

Yes, God hates divorce, but I suspect He doesn't take to highly at women being beaten, cheated on treated as though they were disposable

 

Some of the responses in this thread are absurd...but sounds like you know that.  Only God can change the extreme and unbiblical views displayed by some on occasion

The Gospel carries offence. Jesus said he came to bring a sword. When people are offended at plain teachings Jesus gave, then that fulfils Jesus' words. The seed of the word was able to take root in the stony ground but when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word it withers. When people are offended at what Jesus taught, they are the hearts that are like stony ground.

Jesus doesn't want us lukewarm. Stand on his side against what he calls adultery.

Jesus doesn't want us lukewarm....

 

Stand on his side against what he calls adultery.... 

 

 

 

Stand By

 

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23

 

Him

 

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

 

And Do

 

Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. Psalms 106:39

 

Not Commit Adultery

 

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. 1 John 5:21

[Mswright6488]

we ought not to think more highly of ourselves than we should.... usually those that preach so hard and stay on one thing... are the ones that fall into the same sin..

I'm not sure how accurately reading and comprehending bible verses and not do mental gymnastics to get around them puts me at some kind of fault.
