What is this supposed mean? The Scriptures have been quoted from the King James Bible, not a paraphrase. So there is no need to make deceptive remarks.
There is nothing deceptive about saying that marriage, divorce, and remarriage should be avoided.
It's a bad plan, and the Bible discourages it. The better plan is to be very careful with who you marry to start with. Then the following 2 parts become at least to some degree less likely. There could be some validity to the idea of actually doing what you say you believe, and marrying some one who is doing like wise that is if the said beliefs are the same there is a much greater chance of avoiding the later 2 portions of the title conundrum.
But king jimmy didn't say that so maybe it's not so smart huh?

You said something about a paraphrase when there was no paraphrase. That is being deceptive. or trying to mislead others.

The Scriptures were provided to cover what the Bible says about marriage, divorce, and remarriage, not to recommend marriage, divorce and remarriage. So again a deceptive take on what was presented. Kindly read the OP carefully and stop making careless remarks.

Being that your are so keen on knowing my intent.

Well it did seem a bit random. Hard to gauge intent.

I appreciate it @Nehemiah6 I did not realize that scripture said forbidding marriage is demonic. I was always against it but kind of took the road that if they want to consecrate themselves to the Lord and someone else was in error in forcing that upon them he (the Lord) will work it out.

Don't like giving movie references but something like the Sound of Music.

It is a useful question to ask each of each person considering divorce. Having both parents divorced and remarried I disagreed and still wonder if they are living in sin or how exactly that application works in regard to salvation.

I do think we are accountable to what we know at the time and it's possible that they had no knowledge of that teaching. Both of the behaviors of the original spouses (I think) did not align to the behavior of believers but that's tricky to ascertain.

and no I'm not attempting to be legalistic about this :p

I was making a joke, a play on words if you will. I used a list of nouns from the title and used them as a sequence of verbs. It was a joke about how the sentence was formed. Nothing more or less. If the title sentence is read with out any other context it could be taken either way. I saw the context in the body of the post, and agreed, I still found humor in the title sentence.
