    Is divorce always a sin?

    The "scripture" you're using is inserting the biases of the translator into the text. There is nothing in the Greek word "porneia" that implies anything "marital" whatsoever. The term simply means sexual immorality, unchastity, fornication, etc, but doesn't imply that this sin took place during...

    Is divorce always a sin?

    Actually Jesus did not say that "marital unfaithfulness" is grounds for divorce, but in fact sasid that it is the sin one commits when they divorce and remarry. Luke 16:18 "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a...

    Is divorce always a sin?

    You need to properly divide the word. Deuteronomy taught that a man who divorced his wife legally for not being a virgin when he married her; that man could not take her back afterward if she married another. However, even under the Old Covenant it was illegal to divorce a woman for any other...

    The Author of salvation to those obeying Him !

    You would think so, but the majority of professing "Christians" today actually deny the need to be obedient to Christ to be saved. SealedEternal

    The Author of salvation to those obeying Him !

    It seems to me that you're linking together the necessity of obedience to salvation. The verses I posted were on that same theme. Is that your point or isn't it? If it is, why did you claim I don't understand? SealedEternal

    Is divorce always a sin?

    I have said repeatedly that I am not under the Laws of Moses. It is those on the other side of the issue that appeal to this clause, and not me. What's interesting to me is that I doubt that they keep them either, but only appeal to them when it serves their need. SealedEternal

    The same thing that everyone else thought, and that I had written in my response. Were you saying something different? SealedEternal

    Is divorce always a sin?

    I've already explained that. Yes the Law did allow a man to divorce his wife if she was discovered to have fornicated when he married her. That has nothing to do with "divorce" as we are defining it. In the Old Covenant they made marriage covenants about a year before the two actually came...

    Is divorce always a sin?

    I wanted to also add that the Old Testament did not allow for divorce, and the marriage for life doctrine has been in effect from the beginning: Genesis 2:21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that...

    Is divorce always a sin?

    I never said it was unforgivable. The Bible says that it is adultery, and therefore like all sins it needs to be repented of. God never said He would choose our spouses for us. He only said that He will join us to the one we make that commitment to for life, because He is the author and...

    Is divorce always a sin?

    The author of those articles has been divorced and remarried several times himself, and has an obvious agenda. I have debated with him countless times myself on the issue. Jillian, I advise that you read the Bible, and seek God's will, rather than looking to people to try to make the Bible say...

    Is divorce always a sin?

    I wish people would stop twisting God's Words to encourage others to live in sin. If people are truly seeking His Word they will immediately see that He teaches repeatedly that the marriage bond is joined by God for life, and man cannot separate this union. They will also see that to do so and...

    Is divorce always a sin?

    Yes I do, and I'd ask that you hold yourself to that same standard. Every verse in the Bible consistently teaches that the marriage union is joined by God for life, and that all subsequent relationships while a spouse lives is the sin of adultery. No such passage exists. Perhaps you're...

    Is divorce always a sin?

    If you're a Christian then it would be a sin for you to initiate a divorce: 1 Corinthians 7:10-13 But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and...

    The Author of salvation to those obeying Him !

    The Bible teaches that true salvation is being freed from our enslavement to sin, through the regeneration of the Spirit of God: Romans 6:1-22 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you...
