I don't put people on ignore. I like to know what they're up to and what they are saying.

Exactly, if you don't like what someone says, nobody is forcing you to respond.

Read the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 7, there we read:
8) I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
9) But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10) And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11) But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12) But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13) And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14) For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean, but now are they holy.
15) But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16) For what knoweth thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thou husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17) But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called everyone, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
39) The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married whom she will, only in the Lord.

The only criteria by which anyone can re-marry is if one or the other be dead!!! [verse 39 above].

To the rest of you, I quote, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

To God Be The Glory

 

[Naomanos]

PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE....

ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE, THERE CAN NEVER, NEVER BE RE-MARRIAGE AFTER DIVORCE!!!

Don't you people read/study the Bible? You call yourselves Christians and quote Scripture to your shame? Are you really followers of Christ because the word "Christian" means "of Christ."

Read the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 7, there we read:
8) I say therefore to unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
9) But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10) And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11) But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12) But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13) And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14) For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean, but now are they holy.
15) But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16) For what knoweth thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thou husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17) But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called everyone, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
39) The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married whom she will, only in the Lord.

And so @Naomanos. if you and your girlfriend will pursue to marry, you will be committing grievous sin!

To the rest of you, I quote, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

Let's see, her ex-husband cheated on her repeatedly and since Jesus gives that clause, she is free to remarry and I was abandoned by my ex-wife, she divorced me and went and got remarried herself. She can be seen like an unbeliever and if not, then she cheated on me when she remarried and had sex with her new husband.

I prayed for God's will that He either take away my desire for a wife or if I am to remarry that He bring the one I am to call my wife and three days later, my fiance and I started talking and this has been the best relationship of my life. We build each other up and not tear each other down, we encourage and not belittle. This relationship has God's hand all over it.

So, there is no sin in what I am doing and yes, I am a Christian and you do not get to say otherwise and if you question whether I am a Christian again, I will report you as it is against the rules of this forum.

Sometimes, you just need a break from their negativity. I still haven't put anyone on ignore, but it's getting real close.

I am my wife's third husband. No one would be able to convince me she is not God's gift to me!

Much love!

Well, I took him back off ignore, I figure the reminder is good sometimes. It keeps me from getting soft and believing I can again fellowship with such foolishness.

 

[ChristisGod]

Agreed. But this is not a thread about that authority being abused or potentially abused. This is in direct response to women who say men do not have authority over them.

I would say they do have authority over them but like Jesus they should not Lord it over them. They should have a servant attitude and consider her needs above his in a marriage. Also this same attitude should be in the church as well. Its the servant /leader model Jesus displayed for us.

As they say the 3rd times the charm :). I'm glad she found a good man.

First off, I've NEVER said that you are not a Christian, Scripture demands that for those who do not adhere to the Laws of God as is written also in Matthew 7:20-23.

But did you think God stopped at 1 Corinthians Chapter 7 to convey His Laws regarding re-marriage after divorce ? No. Matthew 19:3-12 reads:
03) The Pharisees who came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every [any] cause?
04) And he answered and said unto them, Have you not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
05) And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
06) Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
07) They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
08) He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
09) And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife except ["if not" better translation] it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. [here Jesus is answering the question put to Him in verse three].
10) His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11) But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save to whom it is given.
12) For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Please, I'm only trying to make you aware not to fall under the wrath of God which can kill both body and soul in hell.

Do you have any idea why God wrote so extensively about divorce and remarriage? Because there is a much bigger spiritual picture significant hidden within it, but really is in plain view..

Yes it's true, God does not hide anything from His children. You can report me if you like, but a caution: these forums are for Christians only!!!

The Bible should really convince you.

God abides by His own rules. He does not have two rules one for Himself and another for mankind!

[Naomanos]

First off, I've NEVER said that you are not a Christian, Scripture demands that for those who do not adhere to the Laws of God as is written also in Matthew 7:20-23.

But go ahead and convince yourself that you have God's blessings in all this in spite of what is stipulated in
1 Corinthians Chapter 7.

But did you think God stopped at 1 Corinthians Chapter 7 to convey His Laws regarding re-marriage after divorce ? No. Matthew 19:3-12 reads:
03) The Pharisees who came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every [any] cause?

Does verse nine above speaks to your dilemma?

Please, I'm only trying to make you aware not to fall under the wrath of God which can kill both body and soul in hell.

And I am Christian! Your veiled accusations that I am not are not going to go unnoticed by me.

As Marks said, there is no doubt in my mind that God gave her as a gift to me and that this relationship is blessed by God. It has His hand all over it.

My first marriage did not have God's blessing and He did not put us together as we were coerced and manipulated into marrying by her pastor. Even though her and I fought left and right and we weren't good for each other he still made us get married, not caring that we weren't right for each other. So, it wasn't God that joined us together. It was man who joined us together. I was so depressed married to her I probably would have killed myself. Once we separated after she said she was divorcing me, my depression lifted. I no longer need medication and I am no longer depressed. I'd say the divorce was a blessing.

On top of that she got remarried and if you want to say we were still married when we divorced and committed adultery. So she became an adulterer anyway. So not only did she abandon me like an unbeliever, she has also committed adultery.

My finances ex cheated on her constantly and told her he would never stop doing so. Jesus said in the sermon on the mount that adultery was a reason for divorce and wouldn't make the woman an adultress. He was an adulterer and is with one of the women he cheated on her with. She is free to remarry.

Jesus said let no man tear apart what God has put together, if man put me and my ex together, it wasn't God who did so. She abodoned me and acted as an unbeliever. I am free to remarry.

Also, do not think that I haven't prayed and prayed about this. I have and these are the scriptures brought to mind and confirmed by random strangers when they would come to me at work and say that God laid these scriptures on my heart for you.

So, I and my fiance are well in the clear. Your concern is noted, but misplaced.

church's statement of faith

So it’s not the Bible?

This is why “Christians” are so divided.

They come up with their own rules.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

There is no perfect husband out there, myself included

This is because you are not reading scriptures as frequently and completely as you should:

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
