View Profile History	Divorce among christians Posted : 5 Sep, 2012 11:38 PM "TruthBeKnown", The verses you quoted are part of the reason I will only accept a "virgin" woman to be my wife. I can't marry any other way because of my beliefs. My standards are top of the line in that area. My belief is that if a man and a woman have sexual relations with one another, then they're considered married or "one flesh" in the sight of God from that very moment. That's one of the main reasons why I've maintained my purity in that way. Also, I don't care whether marriage papers have been signed by both persons or not...because I believe only God has the authority to declare a man and a woman as married...so a marriage certificate is just a worthless piece of paper in my sight. The piece of paper is for the stupidity and ignorance of those who don't listen to God and have to bind someone into a contract instead of making a covenant in their hearts before God. Contracts are built on selfishness...covenants are built on love. Too many marriages have been founded on a piece of worthless paper...when they should've been founded on the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit. People should've understood by now that God's Word is declared to remain forever...which means anything built upon it can never be shaken! AMEN?! Also, after sexual relations have taken place even once, if either person, man or woman, leaves (divorces) the other for any other reason except marital unfaithfulness (fornication), then I view it as if the faithful person was raped...not by force, but by deceitfulness of the other individual. After all, it says in scripture that unless you divorce based on marital unfaithfulness (fornication), you cause the other person to commit adultery...which means you stole his/her purity. That's why I have to be so careful about marrying...because I owe it to my future wife to keep myself pure for her...but more importantly, I owe it to God! I decided years ago that I wanted my life to be living proof that marriage doesn't always result in divorce. I have a goal that I've been working toward for at least 15 years or more. My parents' marriage failed after about 20 years...but I've always had a belief in my heart that it wouldn't be that way for me. I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I repeat it now just in case I haven't...Love is a choice...and that choice cannot be based on your emotions or you'll fail every single time. If you let your emotions control you, then you're a slave to your own emotions. Hmmm...I need to write that down and put it somewhere so I'll see it. Post Reply
View Profile History	Divorce among christians Posted : 6 Sep, 2012 01:55 AM Your standards are the top of the line? That doesn't speak of purity and holiness but pride. To any women/men reading this: Jesus wasn't a liar when he said that when you confess your sins the Lord is -faithful- and -just- to forgive you yours sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Though your sins be as scarlet, they'll be made white as snow. They do not exist anymore in the mind of God and neither should they in the minds of his people. He said "I will remember their sins no more." Post Reply
chiefofsinners12 View Profile History	Divorce among christians Posted : 6 Sep, 2012 03:53 AM I am familiar with the scripture Jesus taught concerning divorce. As people we can not know if a individual we are in relationship is going to commit adultery but we can determine the signs of a hard heart. We live in an ever increasing world of hard hearted individuals especially in the body of Christ. Every action is motivated from our inner being. So we need to be people conscious of our own hearts.

mary3777 View Profile History	Divorce among christians Posted : 6 Sep, 2012 05:06 AM Isn't it that it takes two to tango or in simpler term to agree. If the wife wants to improve the relationship but the husband refuses to cooperate what a wife should do to avoid divorce? Post Reply
View Profile History	Divorce among christians Posted : 6 Sep, 2012 05:08 AM A very wise person once told me that marriage is not made up of 2 good lovers,but of 2 good forgivers! We are stuck in this sinfull flesh.We can and will sin against one another!We especially wull hurt the ones closest to us,because we can! Marriage is soooo complex.There are a multitude of reasons for divorce but ultimatelly it boils down to selfishness.All sin is selfishness.It's the belief that "I" know better!"I" deserve better!Seams to me we are told we all deserve death.I'm thankin the Lord fro His forgivenes and willing to impart that on others.ESPECIALLY MY MATE! Jeremiah 17:9 King James Version (KJV) 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? use the SPIRIT of forgiveness,not your heart! Post Reply

mary3777 View Profile History	Divorce among christians Posted : 6 Sep, 2012 05:20 AM Right. It's right it is the union of two forgivers regardless of who is right or who is wrong. that means put aside your ego or pride for the sake of peace. Post Reply
mary3777 View Profile History	Divorce among christians Posted : 6 Sep, 2012 05:25 AM That's right.Always keep the trust. A couple must always be careful not to break the trust, stay honest and keep transparency in the relationship. Post Reply
