Wow. I thought I was being really nice. Not sure what I wrote that could be construed as shrill.

If you have a hard time LISTENING to Holy Spirit unfold THE WORD to you, as[k] God to tweak up the process and your understanding, hearing.

That is a pretty subjective standard. How do I know it is me having a hard time LISTENING to Holy Spirit unfold THE WORD to me, and not you?

I don't think you'd listen to me for 2 microseconds.

Try me. Since you say Jesus' words regarding marriage/divorce/remarriage need some additional unfolding by the Spirit, maybe you are the Spirit's way of guiding me to the truth. What do you think Jesus intended in his teaching on marrige/divorce/remarriage?

His standards are important. But it's just as important that they be applied out of HIS HEART as well as HIS JUSTICE. AND HIS WORD DECLARES that HIS MERCY triumphs over His justice.

Paul has a word for you about justifying sin by claiming grace will cover it. Rom 6:1-2 "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?"

I think the evidence is abundant that you'd not listen to me for 2 microseconds.

Thanks anyway for the invite.

I'll content myself with praying that Holy Spirit leads you (and me) into all truth as He was sent to do.

BTW, I'm not justifying any sin by claiming that grace will cover it.

I don't appreciate your words in my fingers.

I do assert that your construction on sin in the marriage realm and God's are likely not 100% identical.
