What is a Christian marriage?

[dallasapple]

(1Co 7:11)  But if she is indeed separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife.


Simple, isn't it?  Either remain separated, or be reconciled to spouse.  Marrying another after separation is sin.

And divorce isn't separation.  Even our legal system knows this.  So does the dictionary.  Does the church?  It doesn't seem like it.  Divorce is worse than separation.  From the beginning God made them one.  Than Christ says that what God has made one, man is not to separate.  But the church does.  And then joins to another.  But from the beginning it was not so.  Why is it so now?  Why?

The only thing simple here is that you have a comprehension problem with the English language.

There is a reason why the KJV translators chose the words 'put away' instead of divorce in this context.

Put away != divorce.

If I were to 'put away' my wife and marry another.. indeed I would be sinning.

If I were to 'divorce' my wife and marry another.. I would not be sinning.

Big difference... its amazing how many people think they can rip the bible out of the cultural context of when it was written and try and yoke people with false doctrines.. you should be ashamed of yourself.

I think its amazing too.

Someone woudl sit there and tell a couple that they are still married(one or both) to the spouse that they are divorced from is barbaric.

That does NOT promote marriage.

Its really sad and I think its really creepy.

Ya'll can all "suffer" in aloneness for your entire life when your marriage ends.There are no "levels of heaven" .

Anyway stay alone..Its good for man to be alone.(man and woman alike).


Its disgusting.

OH and how do you "forgive" someone who divorces you and goes on and remarries?

I guessed it..YOU remain unmarried.For the REST of YOUR life.

Exactly, DA.
We can FORGIVE the rapist or murderer WITHOUT keeping ourselves in their path and in danger.

It is an obscene conclusion by these horrid doctrines that we must stay in danger and be further abused to 'prove' our forgiveness in the matter.

Can anyone of them say that theyd let a person who molested their children babysit again to show 'forgiveness' ?
Yet they require a wife to remain married to this beast of a man to show that she is forgiving.
Its nauseating to say the very least.
Abominable and entirely godless at best.

This moderator sees that your replies are hateful and bitter.  They also violate forum rules.  I'm locking this thread.
