Perhaps we’ve discussed this before; if so, I apologize in advance for dragging you down the rabbit hole again...
“Except for people who divorce and remarry. He was pretty hard on them.”
I keep hearing this and reading this statement. I have a hard time reconciling it with my personal experience and what has occurred in my life. I have no surety how I will be judged in this regard, but I find it hard to believe a loving and forgiving God would want me to miserable and alone because my previous partner chose to make things irreconcilable in the previous marriage.
What is a person to do when faced with an impending divorce they have no control over, especially after months of introspection, grief and prayer. Are we supposed to live a life of celibacy and lonesomeness in this regard? Are we to never re-marry?
I’ve been told many things by many people, all of it seems to contradict in one way or another.
I didn’t say anything about divorce and remarriage. I don’t really care. Jesus said it.
If your question is “What should I do when Jesus’ teachings are inconvenient to my life?”, I would say that is a jagged little pill that all Christians must swallow.
