Personally, instead of focusing on the Bible as God's word, I believe that it is through the Holy Spirit one finds God in the Bible.

I'm not sure we are glorifying God by forcing 2 people to stay together in a loveless marriage. :whistling:

Help me understand what you mean by this? Are you saying the Bible "becomes the word of God"?

Leviticus 20:9,13

20:9

"'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.

................................................................................

...........................................................................

20:13

"'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads

Many Christians would not consider cursing one's parents and homosexuality as sins of equal value and deserving of the same punishment - yet both are found in the same chapter, 4 verses apart.

This is but one example whereby virtually Christians selectively "cherry pick" Scripture to support their own personal agendas - are you aware of any Christian or Jew who has stoned their children for swearing?

Given the thousands of denominations, sects, etc., each with a different interpretation of the Scriptures - it is God's judgment, not ours, as to who are the true believers.

If one reads the interpretors notes at the beginning of any Bible, it states that translations are approximations, not a verbatum copy of God's words. No Bible claims to be divinely inspired or infallible.

Therefore we all have different interpretations and focus on different parts of the Bible. Hopefully we go beyond the rigid, legalistic, loveless interpretation by modern day Pharisees and find the true nature of God.

The Greatest Commandment states that the Law is based solely on our love of God followed by our love of neighbor.

In my opinion The Greatest Commandment says it all.

I agree with you, but shouldn't we be able to find scripture to support this belief?

1 Corinthians 7:10-15 allows for a believer to divorce and remarry if an unbelieving spouse abandons the believer because of the believer's faith

Thanks EricH,

That's the scripture I've been thinking about but couldn't find.

:P:blink:

I'm curious about people's views on divorce if it's an abuse situation?? Would a woman leaving an abusive husband be an adultress?

I would say a divorce in such a situation is permissible if not the right thing to do. I can't cite any scripture to that effect but I think God's will for kindness makes it rather obvious despite no explicit statements on the matter.

I am getting a divorce for this very reason he also has a girl friend. I don't think God wants us to be doormats how would staying be right. He wasn't like this when we were first married so I hadn't any idea I would be where I am. I would never tell someone being abused to stay. That is just me though. :)

I am so sorry for the hurt you must be feeling.

I too believe that God doesn't want us to be doormats.

And, I too would never tell someone to stay who is being abused.

I'll be praying for you.

You are very welcome.

Yes, the children are the ones to get hurt the worst,

but amazingly enough children are very resilient; more so than adults sometimes.

I will certainly keep all of you in my prayers.

Please know that you are welcome to PM me if you just want to talk.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
