Christians and selective doctrine..

Some are even using their own logic to decide what is adultery and what is not..

some are even saying Jesus said what he said to "moderate" divorce with no biblical backings.

I want to ask, as Christians, do we have any other manual than the bible? if yes, can you post them here? if no, why then are you deciding what should be and not be outside the manual called "BIBLE"?

If you want to be a Christian, you must be in all ways, both in words and in actions, stop selecting when to be a christian and when not!

Christianity is in deeds and words.

The bible says "only Adultery and death" is permitted for divorce, anything outside these is "unscriptural" and "un-christian"

This is why you must look well before you say i do, stop running after flesh, stop chasing men or women because of their physical attributes alone, stop dating people from physical and material gains only.

Dont rush into relationships, follow God's manual and you'd be on the right path. also pray if you lack direction in choosing, stop allowing others choose for you, go straight to God for direction, you have the same access to God as any other Christian out there be it Pastor, Bishop, Pope or father!

Clearly stated in the bible according to your aforementioned points ; death and adultery only... Marriage is great indeed therefore divine love should exist to avoid all problem between husband and wife.

How bout whrn one gets married to person of same blood group without knowing eg AS married to AS, and the woman hid the fact dat she was AS and she nd her family forged a wrong blood group test of AA just so she can marry"a us based man" praying nd beliving that tins will change cos the are believers(like dey claimed ) and after one year she put to birth in d US and her son was SS,there twas discoverd she was AS, in this case can it be so unchristian to divorce??

In this case it will be an annulment not divorce cos she deceived the man into marrying her.

it may please you to know that you are not allowed to divorce if your partner commits adultery... The bible refers to marital unfaithfulness or (illegal union). This is different from adultery.... what this means is that before marriage, if a partner hides a big secret (e.g. having a deadly disease or in ability to give birth) then its an illegal union and there is unfaithfulness in the marriage, otherwise you are ment to forgive your wife even if she commits adultery... its a sin to divorce her for this reason. In marriage, no going back...

he he he Mr pastor: read Matthew 5:32, it used the word fornication der, is fornication also a secret as per your submission?

Well, if you're a born again christian and your husband turns you into a punch-ball, kindly stay married to him because the "lord of hosts" does not allow divorce.

speakthetruth:
Better to be single than to divorce. Marriage of course is a requisite for divorce. The absolute truth in christendom is never to divorce once married except you are a joker: no acceptable excuse to break up after marriage not even the popularly quoted-out-of-cotext case of adultery.

Matt. 19:9 Jesus said;

9"And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."…

Mhmmm! Why do we comment ignoring the phrase used ' born again'? Its not just ordinary christian but a born again with emphatic stress( as written in parenthesis).
A born again christian will always understand with the weaknesses of his/her partner.
He/she may be his/her cross and a test of faith.

The Bible I realise has really beem twisted over the years
God was more concerned about adulterous men than the act of divorce itself but over the years the same adulterous men have de emphasised the adultery part and blackmailed women into staying in misery with adulterous men.

God spoke 5 chapters condemning adultery and unfaithfulness yet they never preach that. Hence people read the bible for yourselves
Don't show partiality when commenting on posts like this one.

Adulterous men and women is the right to say because Women sleep around as much as Men do.

Men also can be tricked to live in misery.

If you ask me, I would say that women cheat more but men are easily caught because they do not know how to cover their tracks.

Why d hell do people marry In d first place with all dis surrounding it

Few of the Disadvantages of Marriage

>Fidelity is not a natural state for human beings, especially when they are young adults and their sex drive is at its strongest. Most married sex lives fade over time, which can lead to affairs and other forms of infidelity, such as the use of prostitutes, even in the most well-intentioned people.

>Many couples get stuck in a rut, repeating the same arguments over and over. The key differences in their personalities never go away. Petty problems, irritating habits, become magnified over time.

>Marriage restricts the freedom of individual. Single people can happily live their lives pretty much as they please without having to be concerned with the needs or wishes of others.

>Marriage means that couples have to deal with their partner’s family, which can be a source of problems and conflict.

>Getting married can add lots of extra bureaucracy and red tape to a relationship, especially when the wife changes her name and official documents such as social security, driving licenses have to be changed.

Why should you divorce since you have agreed to for better for worse? Tho divorce is the trend now but you have to sort things out especially if you have kids. Didnt you court? That ll be my 1st question as a lawyer.
when you quote the marriage vows, do it fully not in part. The prerequisite for "better or worse" is that u remain faithful to each other forsaking others. If this is broken then there is no marriage, because it is on this grounds that you were declared man and wife.

When his or her life is no longer safe in the marriage.
The aggrieved spouse must seek for divorce to save his or her life.

A divorce is permitted on confirmed grounds of adultery; although separation - living apart - is acceptable is the case of domestic abuse.

Maybe when "CHRISTIANS" start following the bible and having it in their heart that only Adultery and death is permitted, maybe then would they start marrying for the right reasons ans also dating the right kind of people according to their faith.

Most men and women married to panel beaters saw this trait even before they got married, they just chose to play the ostrich with the stale statement " he or she will change after marriage or i can change him or her".

See some remote-controlled minds speaking.

I wonder when Israelis, Arabs and Europeans will starting fretting about what Amadioha, Ifa or Sango say about divorce.

When a feather is bothering a bird/fowl too much, it plucks it off. That's the way nature works. Even animals with supposedly inferior intelligence understand that.

But black man always seeks permission from ideas and ideologies alien to them. No wonder no progress.

There is no two ways about it,, divorce is a huge sin before God and the bible clearly states that "no divorcee shall see God's face". Unless the spouse is dead,, no divorce is waranteed.
