Divorce

[-foc-]

This is a hard topic. I think that divorce is not what God wants, that is why we need to teach our children how they should go about a relationship so they enter into marriage knowing the person they are commiting to.

I have been divorced, prior to being a believer. Remarried and nearly divorced again, but by Gods intervention, became a true believer and God not only saved me, but saved my marriage, and then saved my wife.

Have faith and act according to what the bible tells us how to act toward or spouses. If we follow Gods plan for our lives.......we will never fail.

Blessings in Christ

Thats really cool..

so in your remarriage you both became born again?

This is such a sensitive topic... but I believe scripture teaches the 'sin' of divorce is in remarriage (other than reconcilation).   Jesus and Paul both taught that only death seperates what God has joined together,  and adultery occurs if one marries someone else while the spouse is still living.  (1 Cor. 7:10-11, 7:39).

Clearly "except' for harlotry", by Jesus' own words

The sensitivity is caused by some folks refusing to accept Jesus own words whereby He shows clearly that this 'law of the husband" (Romans 7) is not absolute....it is conditional, as most covenants are.

When you refuse folks an allowance made by God Himself, yes, we can understand some being sensitive about that ....
