View Profile History	How does a divorced person handle Mark 10:11-12 Posted : 4 Oct, 2010 07:20 PM I'm not divorced, but I'll throw my two cents in on how I view it. To me, it kind of depends on the situation and circumstances involved. Hopefully I'm not twisting the words too much, but in the above passage I could see where if the husband were to leave the wife (for whatever reason), the wife would not necessarily be at fault, i.e. committing adultery. And, vice versa. This is brought up in 1 Corinthians 7:15-16. It is talking about being married to nonbelievers, not sure what Paul would say about both people being believers. Post Reply
View Profile History	How does a divorced person handle Mark 10:11-12 Posted : 4 Oct, 2010 08:49 PM I'm divorced and here is how I view it. Adultery is any act of unfaithfulness to the covenant of marriage. Our best example is the relationship God had with the nation of Israel in the OT. They worshiped other Gods - Adultery, they disobeyed His commandments - Adultery, they chose to ignore Him and do things their way - Adultery. They vowed to obey Him, follow Him and Honor Him. Whenever they broke the covenant they were called Adulterous. In a marriage, any act that violates the covenant is Adultery. It can be physical, emotional or mental. It can be any act of unfaithfulness. My ex left me when I was sick and could not take care of myself. She was afraid that I would not get well and she did not want to stay with me. She vowed to be faithful in sickness and in health but she ran off and left me to recover on my own without her. As far as I am concerned that is Adultery. Thunder Post Reply

springrose10 View Profile History	How does a divorced person handle Mark 10:11-12 Posted : 5 Oct, 2010 02:54 PM I know I'm in a foul mood today because I just found out my Dad has to have his entire nose removed from his face, so Zao, if I'm venting in the wrong direction, I apologize at the beginning. How do I view Mark 10:11-12? As the Word of God, as Jesus' explanation as to why God would allow something that He Himself has said is wrong. It was never His intent anymore than giving Israel a king, but because of hardness of heart, He let them have a king. A king only created more problems just like divorce creates more problems. I take the passage literally. My divorce was "Biblical" and I am free to remarry. However, I do not condemn my brothers and sisters who are divorced whether due to adultry or not. I have not met the people who simply walked away from their marriages because they were uncomfortable. I've only met the ones that are in pain and agoniziing over the failure of their marriages. The ones trying to raise kids or repair relationships with grown kids. The ones listening to Satan's lies that they are unlovable. The ones that wonder if life with ever be "normal" again. Matt. 5:22-23 "But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgement. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca," is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell." How is this passage viewed? Both passages are words of Jesus. So, I have a new question. Why do the threads continue to nit pick divorcees while people still laugh at Mr. T? Obviously with strong feelings, Rose Post Reply
enoch1122 View Profile History	How does a divorced person handle Mark 10:11-12 Posted : 6 Oct, 2010 05:47 AM Jesus was simply honestly stating the Jewish law as it existed at that time. Everything Jesus said pertained to the Kingdom and and was not an instruction manuel on how to live out our human lives. Remember He came to forgive sin but He also came to fulfill the law. If we consider divorce and unforgivable sin then so we must consider a violation of everything He said an equally culpable sin. Look at the Sermonon the mount. Jesus says "don't be anxious" yet who among us can fulfill that. He says adultery is simply looking on another with lust. Who among us can so totally control our thoughts. Who can forgive totally. Who can really turn the other cheek. Or willingly go 2 miles if asked to go one. Or remove the log from our own eye. In other words Christ was expressing what was to be in the Kingdom of God. Other of His words tell us how to obtain this Kingdom. Until then we are all sinners but forgiven sinners by His grace. Believing that divorce is an unforgivable sin is negating what Christ did on the cross. He didn't come to condemn but to save. there is no way a human being can ever be righteous in himself/herself. Our righteousness is like that of Abraham-by faith. Post Reply
shepherdingking View Profile History	How does a divorced person handle Mark 10:11-12 Posted : 6 Oct, 2010 01:38 PM A wife that has been put away is not free to marry another because she has not recieved a divorce certificate according to the Law. Jesus was asked this as a trick question seeking to discredit HIM according to the law. Divorce according to the Law (Deut.24:1-4, Ezra 10:3) has two parts. Seperation and a written certificate put in her hand. A woman put away (no divorce paper) was not divorced. She is "Agunah", a chained wife because of the husbands hardness of heart. Post Reply
