Author	Thread: Great Divorced Men?
DEEDEE72 View Profile History	Great Divorced Men? Posted : 14 Oct, 2012 01:58 PM Go easy on me...I have not posted in a while and I would like to get understanding..... I struggle as a Christian in finding a man who has never been married or is widowed. I know what the Bible says about divorce and remarriage. What the Bile deems is reasons for divorce but every Christian divorced person I talk to says the same thing that unsaved people do. They were a Christian who married a Christian and then they divorced for non biblical reasons. I have never met a Christian divorcee who feels according to the word of God he is "disqualified" to remarry.... Do any of you who are divorced think you are? I know this is a hot topic...I would really like clarity Post Reply

The fact is that there is a lot of unbiblical teaching happening all around us these days. Then of course there are those that are aware of the commands but desire to please their flesh over obeying God. I am in the same shoes that you are in and I have heard many of the same types of stories coming from the ladies that I have spoken with over the years. So, I feel you on the whole matter. We have to be obedient to God despite what anyone or everyone else is saying and doing. They won't be standing in our place on judgment day. I pray that the Lord will reward your faithfulness and obedience. Post Reply

hubbarddebra99 View Profile History	Great Divorced Men? Posted : 16 Oct, 2012 10:06 AM I divorced my first husband for what was probably NOT a Biblical reason, but he treated me like I was his "property" not like I was a person, let alone a human being! My ideas HAD to be his ideas, or I was not being a good wife. He's not a "bad" person, but I couldn't stand it. He also started hitting me and the baby; not often or hard, but it was humileating! This was 20+ years ago, and now we are polite, but not real friendly. My second husband was the love of my life. He had many failts, but I loved him madly, until he became violent from mental illness. I left for my own protection. Treat the divorced with compassion and understanding. They have a "hard row."

Cortezisboaz View Profile History	Great Divorced Men? Posted : 17 Oct, 2012 04:20 PM I think this is a great question. I think you phrased it extremely well. I think Truthb had an excellent post. I think many Christians are spoiled and lead hypocritical lives. This is a major reason the Christian divorce rate is about the same as the secular.In fact the divorce rate is higher among Christians than among atheists. Why? Its in the thinking (and the numbers). I think the broader question of what is actually being taught to Christians deserves a look. Post Reply
View Profile History	Great Divorced Men? Posted : 20 Oct, 2012 12:48 AM I am divorced and honestly don't think you will find anyone who will admit they are disqualified. I am very familiar with the scriptures you alluded to and knowing what the bible said I questioned some of the prophetic words given to me as they seemed to be contrary to the scripture. The Lord took me to 1 Corinthians 7:15. The only other exception aside from adultery concerning divorce is the above mentioned scripture. Then it has to be the unbeliever not the believer that leaves and files for divorce. Post Reply
View Profile History	Great Divorced Men? Posted : 20 Oct, 2012 02:09 PM The context of 1Cor 7:15 is not that of remarriage. The unbelieving spouse does not have to reside with the believing spouse. It does not give license to remarry. Post Reply
