So you still have no legitimate Biblical grounds to counter what I presented as Biblically substantiated truth..we are done.

Actually no....scripture even forbids that...Jesus said one is not to remarry, but the OT adds that if one does she is not to return to her first husband...
If I divorced my second husband I would be doing the same thing...divorcing for unbiblical reasons..two wrongs don't make a right..
And you know hat else Colonel...my imperfections or perfections (you decide) do not affect the truth of God's word do they?
You should be ashamed for trying to discredit the Word of God by accusing the messenger...shame on you
That's the OT ceremonial law and it was probably addressing a culture of wife swapping. According to your legalistic thinking, the NT annuls your second marriage which means that this is merely a matter of returning back to your first and only husband, hoping that he will forgive your adultery.
Well...that is not scriptural at all Colonel...
OT or not, it's Still stated and the NT gives us nothing that counters it...Jesus said the FATHER truly intends for us to remain married only to our first spouse...anything after that is sin and has to come under the blood....
Now you're making no sense. Previously you employed Jesus' statement to annul the OT right to divorce at all and then you try to invoke an OT scripture about what not to do if one has remarried, as if that remarriage is legitimate rather than illegimate as you yourself declared it to be previously. You can't have it both ways.
I think you know this well and what you have done is come up with a justification for what you have ended up doing, which is to condemn your divorce but condone your current marriage. You're not being biblical at all, just self justifying.
Quest, how do you think that women in India of their own accord and against their family's wishes came up with the decision to commit sati and burn themselves alive on their husband's funeral pyre ? How did they reason ? I can tell you how. They reasoned that this was the ultimate act of selflessness, demonstrating to the Hindu god that they were worthy of being reincarnated into a higher caste. In that act, they were the greatest among Hindus, even though they were women. They could look at the others from within the flames and know that this was a fact. Some lost it at some time before they became unconscious and returned to being just ordinary women, some kept the attitude going into death and proved themselves goddesses of Hinduism, eternally incorruptible. Self-deification in the name of "God", whether that God is Krishna or Jesus or whoever it is, is an abomination in the eyes of God.
He does have higher plans for me and He wants me alive for them ;)
You are so right! That's why just because two people say a few words in front of a preacher or a judge, it doesn't mean God joined them. Get it yet?Quote:
Truths of God's word don't oppose each other...they compliment.....the same truth that affirms who we are in Christ does not then contradict His other truth regarding divorce.
If you could have been there to witness what I endured, you would not be so cold and hard hearted. I will pray for your heart to soften and for you to understand what mercy really is.Quote:
If your abuser chose to leave you then I would say yes, God intervened..if you are saying God told YOU to divorce I have to respectfully disagree...God does not contradict Himself...
And so are you.Quote:
Yes you are His beloved daughter...
FYI...I left this tread after tacking my list to the door...you may PM for any serious questions or discussions...I won't answer snarky or irrelevant comments..
Let's see what one of the (previously) most religiously zealous people imaginable had to say :
Phil 3:4 If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:
5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;
6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.
And then :
7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.
10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
He's talking about the real thing.
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
