Bible Discussion Thread

I'm a Christian who got divorced several years ago. I was not a biblical reason. Now I have met someone fell in love got engaged. I just want to know that in all this at the end of the day is there forgiveness for me and the woman I marry?

While living in adultery, it is hard too say what I have forfeited in my relationship with Him, let alone the family! Marriage is right at the top of his list, being the family, that he has joined together . Divorce should never be taken lightly! It is only by His extended grace under His conditions, conditions we usually find after we have made our decision. Marriage should never be taken lightly!

Brother Joe, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

John 9:2 And his disciples ask him, saying, who DID SIN this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man SINNED, nor his parents, but that the WORKS OF GOD should be made manifest in him.

John 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgement I am come into this world, that they which SEE NOT might SEE, and they which SEE might be made BLIND.

John 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If you were blind you would have NO SIN, but now you say, WE SEE, you sin remaineth.

The wages of SIN (unbelief) is DEATH, the GIFT (belief) of God is eternal LIFE.

Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is GIVEN in the behalf of Christ, not only TO BELIEVE ON HIM, but to suffer (in the flesh) for his (name) sake.

1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, specially those that BELIEVE.

Walk in God's words not mans.

Philippians 2:13 For it is God (SPIRIT) that WORKETH IN YOU to both WILL an TO DO his good pleasure.

This says God's work in you CAUSED you to get a divorce and ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD of those who love the Lord.

His ways are higher than our ways.

We're you a Christian when you got divorced.

yes I was a Christian I believe

I pray you know his will.

Brother Joe,

Jesus tells us that we can be forgiven of all sin, except one sin:

Matthew 12:31

"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."

Walk in Christ, and God Bless.

An most , have no idea what that actually means , an when an where it is done ,.. an it's because, most cannot do what is expected in that hour

There really is only one cause for getting a divorce. I noted that you did not say if you had children from the first marriage? You did not say if you had tried counseling with your Pastor? You did not say if your ex-wife was a Christian?

It's too easy in this present culture to put away the vows we make. I would still see a Pastor and be exceeding honest about the details. You can see a Christian counselor instead of your Pastor if that's a problem.

I think you are aware of the seriousness of vows, so that's good. We all go through various phases in marriage. Over-familiarity can bring about laxness, and all kinds of things that make us wish we had not married. Trust in Christ is the only way to unravel the knots. Being brutally honest with ourselves and our motivations. We need that.

I was divorced. I made a 2nd vow to God, to never marry again unless it was to be forever.

I haven't had one nibble. But I can handle that. I'm sure God has my best interests in his heart.

Talk to someone who can listen (not have to drag info out of you), and pray with you, in front of God. God knows your heart and He loves you. Don't doubt that. I think you need assurance.

I will lift you up in prayer tonight. Don't be troubled in your heart.

Matthew 5

Thank you brother

We have a child together

She refused counseling

She wanted the divorce then changed her mind and I kept it going out of shear frustration and I had also committed sin with a relationship. I since repented and have been single for 3 Years. I met a Christian woman got to know her, this time I waited and asked her to marry me and we are waiting until next year. I have been seeking the Father about this for sometime as to not put her or myself in a position of unforgiveness. I really Love her but I Love God more!! But he Loves me more!!

Dear Joe , please do not torture yourself . You know there is always forgiveness with God . He understands that some of us are able to live in this world as single celibate people and some of us are not . He knows you and the lady that you love . My husband was married and divorced before I married him . His wife commited adultery more than once and with more than one person . He fought to keep his family together but in the end had to admit defeat . You and your lady need to be very very sure , of yourselves and of each other . I believe my husband and I were made for each other and we both had to go through our trials and tribulations before we met each other , in order to become the people that we fell in love with . As a young man , he would have scared me and as a young woman I would have been far too insecure and timid for him . We grew and changed and we are still doing that but now we do that together . Pray to God together , ask for His guidance and blessings and forgiveness and then wait a short while for the answer . If you are meant to be together things will go your way and you will be blessed as a couple . I wish you both lots of love , from God and Jesus and each other .

Thank You Sister
