Same sex marriages.

Marriages with many partners.

It can be argued (and some do) that a marriage never was Holy and constitutes ongoing sin rather than a singular event. In some cases dissolution is included in the price of repentance.

I agree with Renda, I think this was common sense marriage advice, not a commandment.

But, if it's in the Bible, it's a commandment - don't you think?

I don't see it as a commandment.

I honestly don't see the difference. It says not to defraud except you both consent for a time. That sounds like more than friendly advice, IMO.

I guess I think of commandments as The Ten Commandments, which are a sin if you don't adhere to them.

Strong advice is instruction, guidance to Christian living as so many other scriptures are and they aren't necessarily a commandment that would be a sin if you didn't adhere to them.

Maybe there's not a difference, but I'm just stating my opinion.

Re: Do you believe the innocent party in a situati

Well, what's good about this discussion is it's a discussion - - - no one is freaking out and slamming things around.

It's been fun. I haven't been on much lately until today so this has been refreshing.

Re: Do you believe the innocent party in a situati

If Yeshua believes in an innocent party nothing else matters.

9: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Matt. 19:9
