People have been using this a reason for divorce but this was an analogy that God was using in relation to unfaithful Israel due to her many prostitutions...God's plan was to reunite both Israel and the Gentile nations via the promises made to Abraham and his seed.It's true God set up a temporary law in Deuteronomy 24:1-4 so He could divorce the Nation of Israel and this divorce culminated when the veil of the temple was torn in half to signal the separation between God and Israel.
You reallt ought not to accuse me so quickly of lying and blasphemy without gathering the facts first. I may have scripture on my side.Jun2u said:There are no grounds of any kind for divorce and remarriage while both spouses are still living!
The only reason for remarriage is if one spouse die and either one can marry only to another Christian
(I Corinthians 7:39).
It's true God set up a temporary law in Deuteronomy 24:1-4 so He could divorce the Nation of Israel and this divorce culminated when the veil of the temple was torn in half to signal the separation between God and Israel. You did know of this right? And, did you also know that Deuteronomy 24 is also teaching a fundamental spiritual principle right? Of course you do for if without this law the true believers can never enter the kingdom of God.
You do know that God punished David for the way he acquired Bathsheba and had Uriah killed, by taking away their son at two years old right? Also, God took away all the riches He gave to David and Bathsheba's son, Solomon specially the gift of salvation right? Yet we read in Scripture that David was
after God's own heart.
There are consequences when man disobeys God!
I don't think you got the gist of Matthew 19:8. The marriage institution was first instituted by God at the Garden of Eden between Adam and Eve. It has never been abrogated until God instituted the temporary law of Deuteronomy 24 so that He could divorce National Israel but Jesus rescinded that temporary law in Matthew 19:8.
If I were you, I wouldn't go around making assertions that God is a polygamist specially if your claim is unwarranted and not supported by Scripture. This is an outright lie and a heresy!
As far as I know. the marriage and divorce of God with the Nation of Israel is the only event that is ever recorded in the Bible.
To God Be The Glory
This is my understanding of this issue:pom2014 said:I hold fast to The King.
He said no divorce, except for adultery.
No remarriage, except when the spouse dies.
That's Our Sovereign Lord saying that. There are NO exceptions. And in fact, he'd rather there be reconciliation over divorce; just as God reconciled his relationship with us through Grace.
Its clear, no way to misinterpret.
I can certainly see how you could come to this conclusion I must disagree for a couple of reasons.pom2014 said:Hopeful look at verse ten.
This is Paul saying this not God. This is an opinion not divine command of our sovereign.
I suspect by your reaction you wouldn't care if I did give scripture. Your mind seems to be settledJun2u said:FHII
I can only react to what you say. You still nave not given any scripture at all to back up your claims. If you really had any scriptures you would have jotted them down already.
So please don't get touchy and defensive.
