Admin	Is divorce a sin Posted : 18 May, 2011 11:06 AM As some of you know, a few of us are divorced. After my recent testimony post somebody said to me my divorce was a sin, and implied that I left the faith. The person does not know me and I totally lost it over the hog wash response. I will post it shortly. However, is divorce a sin for both parties or the one in the wrong. As my X did say when I got layed off No Job No marriage. She left me with all the debt and bills. That I resolved on my own. getting divorced does not mean a person loses their salvation. Do you also think that protestant churches support this thinking? I do not. Every church I have attended supports marriage for life. Post Reply

If that's the reason you left your faith, then I should hear little complaint from people on this website about divorce from the protestants. And yet... This is the post that was written. Please speak your minds. Who is without sin throw that stone. Post Reply

View Profile History	Is divorce a sin Posted : 18 May, 2011 11:32 AM Hey Bahira: This one was carried by Christ upon calvary.along with every sin a person has,is and will commit throughout their lives. Mark2 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

View Profile History	Is divorce a sin Posted : 18 May, 2011 01:30 PM I'm not sure that a human divorce is a sin as such - God simply doesn't recognise them as divorced. The sin comes later when a divorcee then meets someone else and becomes an adulterer to their previous marriage partner. It's for this reason that some divorced Christians will not remarry or date, after all, what God has joined together, let man not separate. This assumes of course that the marriage was a case of God joining them in the first place... In truth, I don't know the right answer, only that divorce isn't to be taken lightly, and God is more merciful than our pharisee-like interpretation of the law... Post Reply
View Profile History	Is divorce a sin Posted : 18 May, 2011 03:57 PM Dennis, you will be fine. You are a son of the Most High. (Don't you just love how that looks written out?) You chose Him because He first chose you! As your sister in Christ, a reference I am unworthy of, I am hugging you very tight and thanking God He knows your situation better than you do yourself. Yes, we know divorce is a sin...a sin singled out as being hated by God. It makes our Father so sad that we undo what we promised to keep on doing as a husband and wife. Marriage is a Covenant...so sacred, such a gift, so marvelous...and many of us trash it. Nothing anyone says can make the majority of us feel any worse than we felt when we signed the papers acknowledging the death of a relationship. (I do realize that for some, the termination meant an end to a terrible oppression. However, a true believer solemnly realizes the severity of divorce and does not take it lightly. I doubt many Christians enter into a marriage thinking divorce is an option if the whole thing doesn't work out.) But divorce is a sin as any other sin we commit. What do we do about it? What did Christ die for us for? What does He convict us to do? (I know you know; I am just asking in a rhetorical way.) And with that confession and request for forgiveness, it is granted by One so great! Dennis, in my thinking, I need to forgive those who decide that divorce is THE WORST and feel they must make it a personal crusade to remind me of it. That is what I believe Christ expects me to do. As He has forgiven me, I must also forgive. After all, judging someone is a sin, too. My meditation has been, "Christ knows, and that must be enough!" I don't do too well in living it, but I know I am getting better. I wish to recommend a commentary about divorce: http://www.peacemakers.net/peace/divorceforadultry.htm. I have more on my heart, but I remember what you wrote about only reading a posting so far... Post Reply

View Profile History	Is divorce a sin Posted : 18 May, 2011 09:09 PM I agree with what most everyone has said. I've never been married, so I can't relate to the feeling of being divorced. One thing I do know is Christ has forgiven you, Dennis, and I am not without sin, so there won't be any stone throwing from this Ole boy! God Bless Ya, Brother! Post Reply
nepb47 View Profile History	Is divorce a sin Posted : 18 May, 2011 11:20 PM No, I disagree. IMHO Divorce is not a sin, remarrying is. Didn't Jesus say that Moses allowed a husband to issue a certificate of divorce for any reason? Anyway, my understanding of what the Bible says is that a divorced person should remain single unless/until their spouse has committed adultery, if not and they remarry then they live in sin. Adultery being the only reason for divorce. However, God is more loving, understanding and forgiving then any of us can imagine and He is the judge. Thank goodness. So it is not for me to say someone is living in sin or not. NB Post Reply
