[St. SteVen]

Let's continue the discussion on a new topic.

Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

The position of the church and society at large is mistaken as to what Jesus was quoted as saying in the gospels. IMHO Let's discuss. Questions: 1) What did Jesus actually say? 2) Why did he say it? 3) If we got this wrong, where do we go from here? The position of the church and society...

If you are divorced whilst still a non-Christian you will be forgiven when you turn to Christ and become born again. As Jesus said to the woman, “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Well I guess if your spouse divorces you because of some other non-essential reason then you know their a cheater and maybe your better off anyways without them.

What do you say about divorce and/or remarriage of Christians?
Some are victims of divorce. Their spouse decides for them. They have no say in the matter.

My observation is that most remarried couples are quite happy.
Should we put them out of the church? Should they be prevented from ministry work?

Makes you wonder if we marry too young, or need to allow for personal growth as we age. ???

I know a lovely married couple who became Christian after their marriage, but because he was previously married he is not allowed to be a vicar in the CoE which is where his heart is. God accepts him and forgives him but the CoE doesn't.

 

[JohnDB]

People love to point fingers...just one of those things that "some" love to do to claim superior righteousness.

But...some marriages end. Usually because someone in the marriage is desiring unrealistic expectations from the marriage or doesn't own the capacity to be a marriage partner.

So...is it reasonable to point fingers?

Yes. It seems that we are limiting valuable resources to satisfy dogmatic requirements.

Remarriage after divorce is a very risky proposition...

If a marriage fails and former spouses remarry....only a 33% chance of success exists in a second marriage. It gets smaller with each successive marriage. (But people keep trying) And the 33% only exists for those waiting a minimum of 2 years after the divorce decree is final. If sooner than the 2 year mark it is similar stats to having an affair partner.

Affair partners have just under a 10% chance of having a successful marriage.

Who wants to play with those odds? You can get better odds in Vegas.
