Even the reasons spoke of by Paul are just a way to justify oneself in the sight of others. You can drive a person away from you and even give them cause to commit adultery. You can use the justification that each is responsible for one's own behaviors but even then...
I just don't see many justifiable if any at all reasons for divorce.
Remarriage is the issue...it would seem.

Adultery breaks the union of one couple and joins the offendor to the other party...
Of course there is just cause for divorce.
This issue and others are plainly spelled out in the Bible. I don't understand how people deem their own judgement to be higher than the authors of His word. If people want another Bible, go write one and embrace it and love it and follow it.
Why is there a need to diminish His Holy Word???

Jekyll,
Don't have the time or the patience to rewrite the scriptures posted over and over again on these threads, but no body is rewriting the Bible. Perhaps you are reacting on an emotional level and not a scriptural one.
Blessings, Rhoni

Sorry, I don't quite live in the emotional realm that you seem to live in. If you don't think that people twist scripture, you are mistaken. On the other hand, I agree that people use any excuse they can to commit sin.
Including blaming their spouse for what they themselves do.

Oh, I agree that many twist scriptures to say and mean what they want them to say or mean. I was totally unemotional when I posted that the only response to the Pharisees that Jesus gave them was the fact Moses gave a writ of divorcement because of the hardness of the people's hearts. Jesus went on to say that it was not the way it was from the beginning.
And I agree that many people fail to remove the beam from their own eye before trying to remove a twig from that of another's eye  ! 
Blessings, Rhoni

There are lots of people who dress modestly that are unchurched.

Separation includes modesty, but is far more all-encompassing than just dress.
That is way too narrow a definition.

The simple message is that I am holy, committed to God, etc...and you are not.
Is that not the true and honest message of separation?
...be honest.
...just thinking out loud. |
Perhaps what you are observing is a certain serenity that comes from faith? The message from her countenance being deeper than the habit she wears.
