Funny !!!!!!!
No, I think that was in a 60's sitcom...
It's more like an invisible cone of silence.
Matthew 5:32King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]32 [/SUP]But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
this is saying you can can divorce for Adultry??
I "think" if she committed adultery she got stoned to death..
Am I reading this right?
Whoever divorces his wife causes her to commit adultery (because she might get lonely I guess) and if you're a guy you can be with her but it's not adultery? It's only adultery if you marry her then are with her???
Looking at it again, I think it's saying whoever wants to get divorced.(That whosoever shall put away his wife)because they are tired of that relationship and wants "to "be" with another" (saving for the cause of fornication)… will cause her to commit adultry or be with another..
It doesn't say you can get a divorce if someone cheats...
I think alot of wording is bent from people who get a divorce because lets face it, a person wouldn't want to live every day "in sin" and justifies the divorce..
Thanks for posting the Scripture, I'm out of town and just have a tablet (I call it a taplet... Tap...tap...tap..and an hour later I have a post ready...lol).
Yes, that is what the Lord is saying: all divorce with the exception of that due to fornication causes those remarrying to be adulterers.
The point is divorce is not God's will, but at the same time...marriage is. Most of us naturally have a need for a spouse. Been that way from the beginning. We recognize Eve's contribution to the fall, but, we would be lost without them too, lol.
Paul presents marriage as the solution for that need, but deals with some issues that can arise. An unbelieving spouse that wants to remain married suggests the believing should do so. But, when sexual sin gas been committed, according to Christ, the burden of remaining is not there. Idolatry is a common theme in Scripture, and often described in terms familiar to relations between husband and wife. Israel played the harlot, for example.
If anyone understands the pain of infidelity...its the Lord. This is a tough, probably the toughest situation we could be faced with. This is a betrayal that, in my view, is only surpassed by idolatry. So then we consider what God has forgiven us and struggle with whether we could find it in ourselves...to do the same.
I would suggest it, but that has to ultimately be decided by the one betrayed, and an unrepentant spouse would make forgiving all the harder.
But...probably no better way to heap coals on someone's head.
God has called us to peace, so my hope for the
OP is that she might find the strength to deal with this in the Lord, rather than in the flesh.
I will be praying for her to that end.
And for you. Sorry to hear of that cone, and I hope things will improve for you as well.
God bless.
