Limitations for divorced men
- Thread starter evangelist6589
- Start date
There is more than one way to interpret a passage of scripture. That's why we have hermeneutics.
I keep seeing "I was emotionally abused"....
I have to wonder if his ex-wife feels the same way.
There are ALWAYS two problems with a divorce: one's a husband, the other's a wife. As much as either of them want to say they were wronged by the other, it still took BOTH of them to get to the point of divorce.
I have yet to see where Evangelist admits to any part of the divorce, other than he shouldn't have married her in the first place--which many of us here advised him NOT to do at the time, but he did what HE wanted to do. And now he's doing it again.
Further, I HAVE to say this: finding out the woman YOU *chose* to marry has colon cancer, and sending her an email saying you'll pray for her--well, that isn't reconciliation, and it sure as all get-out ain't "manly."
People would be better off not responding to Evangelist and feeding this insanity. Let him start whatever threads he wants, but don't respond, and let them die. Just my personal opinion.

Do you have a PHD in NT THEOLOGY?
Did your marriage represent the Gospel?
If it did, would it represent Arminianism?
Where because of abuse from the bride or lack of commitment, God Just throws her away? Casts her from His presence? Divorces her?
Hint: Marriage does represent the Gospel and We are His no matter how we treat Him...that's the scandal of grace. He vowed to be with us to the end.
What Gospel does your marriage represent?
I do. Keener is wrong.
I failed in the marriage by making a mistake in marrying.
One need not possess a PhD in theology for this matter.
Besides, people like John Piper (who has a doctorate in NT studies) interpret the passages differently.
But I do doubt if you are capable of objective analysis right now. Keener's more open stance appeals to you because you want to meet someone and remarry. I wonder what position you might take instead.
Brother, your mistake wasn't marrying.
You're mistake was not obeying the Gospel by loving her till death do you part.
You go ahead and live with an abuser
Have you read his essay in the book?
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part."
Tell that to God, when we disobey and wine and rebel and lust and lack faith. GOD is still faithful to us.
Christ had all His disciples flee and Peter even denied Him. But what did Christ do?
Pursue them/us with His Love!
Hmm....
That was your only mistake?
And yet, you'll never bring yourself to admit that the dozens of people who advised you not to -- were right?
And when those same people who advised you then, are giving you advice now -- you still refuse to listen?
And then you wonder why some of them are harsh towards you?
True indeed that I failed this commitment. I will get it right the next time.
Have you ever heard of the "ignore" button? If you would actually use it, you might not see all that harshness from people you don't want to hear from.
