Divorce before conversion able to marry

[InTheLight]

When spoken Jesus was teaching under the Old Covenant. The New Covenant replaced the Old at Calvary.

Picking and choosing the words of the Lord to fit your theology again, I see.

Jesus was fulfilling the Law during the time he spoke on divorce and remarriage. It was an OT provision not imported into the NT.

Oh, I see. Like the ten commandments?

No, Christ did not come to replace the law, but to fulfill the demands of the law. Completely different thinking that results in the old covenant demands are fulfilled, but the statutes remain in effect. Therefore, the unbeliever is condemned, but the believer is no longer condemned.

 

[Yeshua1]

What then do we say about all the Baptist Churches that offer "Divorce Care" and in many (most?) instances don't happen to agree with the more hard-line viewpoints expressed in this thread? Just curious....

I guess we live in thje messianac Age now, where divorces never ever happen!

 

[Yeshua1]

No, it is not the "unpardonable sin."

A couple (man and woman) may live together and never have intimate relations, therefore no adultery.

The once divorced and remarried must come to terms with the Scriptures as it applies to them and their circumstances. It is not how the emotions, the hormones, the culture drives the teaching, it is what the Scriptures actually teach.

You are realing saying that we have reached sinless state, as sin still happens eve among Christians, and the lord still can forgive and bless even divorce and renarriage!

 

[Yeshua1]

I will just give you my case... My previous wife a Christian and I also were married for 30 years... Fifteen years ago I lost her to kidney cancer, after watching her die for four years... One month after her passing I met another Christian and we fell in love... I had no intention too but the Lord had other ideas, but I will leave it there... She is a divorcee and has scriptural grounds as her husband committed adultery and was living with the woman while married to her... She brought it up in her church saying her husband was living in adultery and they swept it under the rug, and told her she was at fault and not him... When I married her his name was still on the church books and he stopped going to church more than ten years ago to the date we married... So we have now been married for fourteen years... I feel we are both married in Gods eyes and have committed no wrong... I know I'm free as my spouse died and I know she is free because her husband broke his vow of marriage to her and was living in adultery... I would like to know your thoughts on the matter... What you say will not affect my marriage one way or the other... Comments... Brother Glen

Your story illustartes to us what Grcae of God means, and how we live by the Spirit and not letter of the law!

 

[Yeshua1]

Can any still practice any of the above and expect to go to heaven? If you tolerate adultery, you must tolerate all.

Does the blood of jesus cleanse from adultery or not?

Paul staed that adultery causes god to see union disvolves, the same thing jesus Himself stated!

If the marriage union dissolved with divorce, there wouldn't be any adultery linked to remarriage.

“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,” (Hebrews 10:26)

This is not true. Jeremiah says the New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant (Ten Commandments). We use the Old Covenant today for instruction and commentary. There is no provision for divorce in the New Covenant. Only how to deal with it if an unbeliever divorces a believer.

The Ten Commandments were the Old Covenant. Jesus replaced the old with the New.

The Ten Commandments were the Old Covenant. Jesus replaced the old with the New.

So the ten commandments don't apply to us?

There isn't if done on scripture grounds!

 

[Yeshua1]

“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,” (Hebrews 10:26)

NOT addrssing this issue!

Divorce is not part of the New Covenant. It is not an option for Christians. Forgiveness is mandatory. If an unbeliever divorces as believer, the believer must remain single.

So again, the Christian is damned if they divorce and remarry thern?
For if they do not 'repent< will die in state of adultery, and be lost again?

No repentance, no forgiveness.

God's elect will not end up or remain in this situation.
