[Technogeeb]

Wow, thank you so much techonogeeb for your sterling example for Christian compassion

Sometimes people need to hear the truth more than they need false compassion telling them to follow a path of destruction. The simple fact is, short of infidelity or abuse, there is no excuse for divorce.

You are a fine example of "Love your neighbor as yourself"

Yes, I am. Because if I were in the same frame of mind as SAFIMIAD, I would probably need the same reminder. "Love" doesn't just mean kind words and sympathy, and to refuse to tell SAFIMIAD the truth of the matter would be showing an absence of any true concern.

Thanks again for sharing your faith

I did not share my faith; I only shared a fact that SAFIMIAD probably already knew but needed to be reminded of. Those who might inform SAFIMIAD to "do what's best for you" or "do whatever you feel" are the worst of deceivers; and ultimately their advice, if followed, leads to nothing but more suffering.

Considering you do not know this person or their circumstances you assume a lot. I do not recall having seen any request to discuss the fine points of Christian doctrine. I don't recall Stick me with a fork asking for your approval or disapproval of their situation. Can't you see this person is in pain!! Wouldn't it be better to address that instead of loading them up with a whole bunch of doctrine. I know you think you are sharing the truth but how can you know what the truth is when you do not know this persons circumstances. Is being there for someone who is going through a hard time too much to ask from the religion of compassion?
