The entire Bible was written by Jesus. I reject your false witness.
Stop teaching your lies. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.

That sir is another falsehood.

The bible was not written by jesus. It was written in his name by the
disciples.

Show me a chapter in the NT that is signed by or authored by the Christ.

The words are uplifting. The message is there. The spirit of God is
within but the words come from the disciples not the source.

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for
reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

rebuke anyone!!!

Yes you would rebuke me with words from your law.

Just as Christ was rebuked by those that followed the letter of the law
in his time but not the meaning of the message.

technically i believe the synoptics say that it is, but then maybe john
says its okay.. i can't remeber and don't feel like looking upt he
scriptures, but i know 1 does say to do it... but technically the
christian religion would say it is a sin and there is no way out of it
whether you're abused, cheated on, don't get a long.. technically you
have to go through it.. which is silly .. but that's what i understand..
if you really wonder this my best advice would be to visit your church
or temple which ever faith you identify yourself with..

and adventure.. don't even bother to argue with him... he is a lost
cause and is the only one in any of these forums that is correct
because everyone else "doesnt know what they are talking about" i've
seen him say that to atleast 4 people now. so just but him on block
user or ignore him.. bc really you're wasting your time typing to
someone who believes " his" interpretations and the little websites he
steals information off of are the only correct ones.

I thank you but you must understand.

Though he knows it not he has blessed me many times over each time he
speaks evil of me or falsely accuses me and I thank him for those
blessings.

He has blessed me me many times in the past few days.

God allowed divorce because of the people. Would God promote sin...no!.
The divorce of a pair of followers of the true faith was allowed but not
as God wished. Sin is transgression of the law....The law is the
commandments. If one of the true faith remarried another they would then
commit adultry....which is sin. Divorce is not sin.....adultry is. There
is not sin in certain cases even if one remarries. Adultry by the spouse
or the leaving of one by a non believer of the true faith.

All sin has the same penalty. Christ has pain the penalty for all that
accept it in a truthful form.

sororitygurl4life,

Your answer was completely unscriptural. Not because you didn't quote
scripture, but because you made statements which are completely false.

False to whom spider.

False to god. Perhaps just false to you.

Read your own book.

John 4:6
Romans 12:3
Proverbs 11:2

Peace be with you. Grace be upon you.

AdventureBegins,

Because what she said is false. Jesus taught that divorce was allowed
when one of the partners had been unfaithful. She said it was never
allowed. That's just simply not true. Christianity isn't up for debate
or vote, it is what it is.

The really wrong thing is that the guy is looking for scriptural advice
to live his life by. According to what Jesus taught, he has he right to
divorce and remarry. But if what she said hadn't been contradicted and
he only read the last page...maybe he wouldn't have gotten re-married.
Or maybe the unfairness of it all would have driven him to do something
he wouldn't have done otherwise or caused him to lose his faith. I
think that if someone asks "Is divorce a sin?" and mentions "searching
the scriptures", then they must be a Christian of some sort. And if
they are a Christian and they are asking for answers from other
Christians, then maybe...just maybe, Christians should give the answers?
And just for the record, I'm not saying anyone shouldn't post, but I am
saying that I wouldn't if I were in their shoes.

You then speak for all 230,000 sects of christainity.

I admire your ability to quote chapter and verse although I must say
that is a lot of diferent ways to worship.

However I think she is right.

Once a man take a woman to be his wife he should not put her away from
him through all the days of his life. Which is why care should be taken
in the choosing of a wife.

Even should she committ adultery he may put her away but cannot marrry
another. Though he put her away he is still married to her.

Prove me wrong. I have not the knowledge of your book that you have.

AdventureBegins,

You are right, divorce is not God's highest will for us. He would
prefer that we carefully pick our mate. But Jesus taught that divorce
is allowed in one circumstance...

Matthew 19:3-9
--------------------------------------------------------------
Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, "Is it lawful for
a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?" And He answered and
said, "Have you not read (B)that He who created them from the beginning
MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, and said, 'FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE
HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND (D)THE TWO SHALL
BECOME ONE FLESH'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What
therefore God has joined together, let no man separate. They said to
Him, "Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE
AND SEND her AWAY?" He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart
Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has
not been this way. "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except
for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."
--------------------------------------------------------------

I would really suggest you read scttrbrain's mega-post on page three of
this thread, it does a great job explaining the Christian's stance on
divorce.

But really, if you are a Bible believing Christian, it doesn't get any
clearer than "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for
immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."

the only time I believe in divorce is 1 when adultry is committed, 2
when a partner is being abused litterally all the time. other then that
I really dont believe in divorce if you really honstly love someone you
should try and work things out as best as you can

When I marry, I marry for life. Except that one time. He cheated, and
cheated and cheated. Then I married twice more. They were both divorced
because of cheating. They both died on me. So, here I am divorced from a
cheater and widowed....twice!

I want a virtual weddiiiiinnnnnnnngggggg...
