Kinda like for them that have ears to hear! Can't help but shout it like a watchman. Just as it was in the days of Noah ...

Thank God for mercy!

All we do for Him, should be done in the spirit of love. We can't condemn people into the kingdom, we have to LOVE them in.

I'm certain you agree. Your post has a taint of condemnation to it. I just hope the compassion of Christ is equally prevalent in your other efforts at witness.

Bless you,

John 10:9

Revealtion 22:17

Matthew 5:32 "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery."

Gee, that sure sounds as if there is a case where one may divorce.

Divorce and remarriage...call it adultery.

Sometimes Jesus calls it "Adultery with an asterisk."

Adultery****

As God is good, He should not seem so cruel as to suffer people through irrepairable marriages, determined, of course, but by His accounting of our soul's merits.

This was recognized early in the promulgation of Mosaic law, and bears consideration, I believe, as tragic as divorce indeed always is - especially where children are concerned - for the spiritual and social sake of the individual and society.

I agree ..BUT We have a Savior ...

If there is TRUE repentance that like all sin is covered in the blood of Chriat

1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I hate divorce but I am not sure it is worse than other sins..it is just more visible

How would your views of this correlate with one who is divorced by another? If a person is divorced by a spouse that commits adultery, is this OK for remarriage. Or in your view is all remarriage sin? And upon what do you base any variances.

Just think you're being a one tune wonder and not considering all of life's possibilities.
