@Jesoul
really its not my view, it is Jesus'. Adultery is old testament as well, so don't give me that 'law law' story.

No Image it wasn't Jesus' it is yours. Adultery is OT but the way we discipline and address it is very different, along with practically every other issue.

We are under the new covenant not the old, and nowhere are we told that it is still okay to follow some parts of the OT Law. Jesus came to free us from these very same rules you're insinuating He was pointing us back to. This is inconsistent.

But actually if you look closely, there's a slight difference here. In the Deuteronomy passage, it was a death penalty both for fornication or adultery. But here in say Matthew5, its a legally biblical divorce.

I understand your point here saying if Jesus was instituting a new law saying 'divorce instead of death', But please kindly let me ask again, is it your view that a man can divorce his wife if she turns out to not be a virgin? (cos this is what Deut 22 is teaching). I would really appreciate a yes or no. Thanks.

I don't enjoy speaking for divorce of any form and you're aware that God hates divorce. I'm pointing out the single exception/basis for divorce given in the new testament. Matthew 5:31 It has been said,. .
32. But I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
This doesn't make it a RULE that divorce must take place because of fornication. It is a CAN, divorce can be, not must be. Where there's grace and true love, all part offences are forgiven. True love forgives and covers a load of sins, is not easily provoked and does not think evil. God's grace to you

Perhaps we are misunderstanding each other.
It is definitely not a rule that one must divorce their spouse because of adultery and I don't think I insinuated otherwise anywhere. If you're saying one can divorce their spouse if they've been unfaithful to you then we're on the same page.

Naliakar my cambridge liberal dude, wassup boy?

No life, however well lived and admired, is without blemishes. Kennedy's life is no exception to this truth. But these should hardly be the focus when one passes on unless, of course, the idea of "flogging a dead horse" resounds not. There are many things to say about the great legacy of the Kennedys ( in plural) and their altruism that need not be eclipsed by unfortunate incidentals such as you allude to.

Now more than ever is the time to push through and pass the health care reform (with audible public option) as a tribute to his lifelong love for and service to the less endowed in America.

You're right no one is perfect, but I believe if we commit an offense we should own up to it & pay for it. If it were just his politics I would be quiet but Sesman is right. Kennedy left a young woman to drown to death while he ran off to hide behind his lawyer and family name - an inexcusable offense that to me is the most prominent mark on his life & will follow him beyond the grave.

  One person said now he will be face to face with Mary Jo and God and explain why them left her to die, while the media and america's political elite fawn over his 'legacy'.


And as a final act of shameless hypocrisy what is worse than he requesting Beacon hill to overturn the very same Law he helped pass to ensure Romney wouldn't install a republican senator, but now he wants the law changed so Deval 'cadillac' Patrick can replace him with a Democrat. This brazen, outright, shameless hypocrisy is characteristic of not just him but lawmakers in Massachu and DC.

As soon as I heard the news I went over to the local boston boards to see what people were saying and I guessed right . . . more than 70% of comments were either removed or blocked.

Anyone's passing is sad, esp when they have family. But Ted Kennedy has done so many wrongs in his time in the senate, his involvement in the death of a young woman decades ago he never faced justice for, he has abused his power and the law. . . I could go on . . . so I would be lying if I said I was sad to see him go. Sorry

Jesoul, I said 'versions'. The kjv is just an easily accessible version, that's why I mentioned it specifically. You could check the original greek. Jesus differentiating between the two words 'fornication' and 'adultery' takes us to the divorce scenario in Deuteronomy22:13-21. That's the 'excuseable' condition for divorce, fornication not adultery. It's going to take some sizeable meekness to agree with this anyway.

Deut 22:13
Marriage Violations
13 If a man takes a wife and, after lying with her, dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity," 15 then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate. 16 The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the girl's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you. 

  So you are in essence saying Jesus was pointing us back to follow the very same Law he came to free us from? you're saying men can divorce their wives if they turn out to not be 'virgins'? you cannot be serious. Please tell me this isn't your view and that I am misunderstanding something. I didn't realize we were still following certain parts of the Law and not others.

Ehen oga GI joe please tell these children I am Naija proper oh

Purist:
Take a look at this scenario:

You bump into a terrorist in an enclosed room who's about to blow up an entire stadium on the night of a UEFA Champions League Final (assuming the bomb has THAT capability). You are the only one that knows about this, and NOTHING you say/preach to him will change anything, his mind's made up. There's a loaded AK47 lying somewhere on the floor. You have the chance to pick it up and blow his brains off, saving thousands of lives, or you have the chance to walk away because "you don't want to kill" (but of course you'll also die when he detonates). Which option will you pick?

Very easy. I will send him a few minutes early to go and collect his 72 virgins .

Speaking of video games . . . I think this video of a couple friends of mine is in order . . . Xbox vs PS. lol  I'm somewhere in there behind the camera laughing my head off.

its Jesoul and Tonye-t 

KJV: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

  Pray tell, why would Jesus use the word "fornication" while talking about a married man/woman? Is it perhaps because Jesus did not use the actual word "fornication"? would "fornication" in the context of married people not essentially be "adultery"?

The bible was not written in KJV you know. And even if you still wish to disagree, then please do tell us what Jesus meant was okay as a reason to divorce - cos obviously he was putting forth a condition to be able to divorce one's spouse.

@sexibabes
There's no bible phrase that states that you can divorce based on adultery. Its just a cute lie from the father of lies.

Uhm wrong brotha.
Definition of Adultery: voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse.

Matthew 5:32 NLT "But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery."

Jesus said it is permitted to divorce your wife or husband if they have been unfaithful to you.

Coolruler,

Turning the other cheek simply means that if you are wronged, do not seek revenge but leave it to God. It does not mean to not protect yourself and become a pushover allowing yourself to be continually cheated and mistreated or physically harmed without defending yourself. The basic concept of Jesus' words was to simply not seek revenge for a wrongdoing.

ThiefOfHearts:
Actually that is usually NOT the case, eg "rebellion" but I'll let that slide FOR NOW.

Lnmao didnt i tell you pe o ma jiya? Emi ni "precious" abi? I will continue to harp on the topic

You can't beat the fanfare, the longing of the fanboys, and girls

Lol na true talk jare. I was on the verge of buying a NES few months ago complete with super mario 1-3 for purely sentimental reasons. At least there's one Wii fan here. . . what are the best games jare?

vescucci:
O ga o. Why una no go leave Max alone na. She merely hinted at some cryptic dude despite waiting for about a decade not hesitating in kicking her out if she committed some abominable crime. Make someone go open a thread about Max. Let's talk about The Time Traveller's Wife, lol.

Amen to that! lol

it was stand ur ground or they will walk all over you baby jesoul sure wasn't no pushover . The tom took a big hit anyways . . . honestly I rarely get the time to even play. But I do relish memories from days past of super mario, metal gear, street fighter, sonic etc . . . the Wii is more interactive which is the main draw for me. We'll see sha.

and what is Vesc going on about some sense making . . .

No2A,

   always had elements of tomboyish-ness and will always (is that enuff for butchering the queens lingo? )

one of my proudest moments in life. About 12yrs old, in some arcade center, bunch of older boys walk up trash talking about how they were going to destroy me and my sister in Tekken. I took the controller, the gangleader took player 2, the battle began - fight!- it took less than 30secs total, I thrashed his behind - Flawless   he limped away with his wack crew in silence. Since then no one has been able to convince me there's nuthin I can't do.

Nah the xbox is gone as soon as I get lay enough paper for a decent wii.

it's not about racism. vick actually got off easily. he committed crimes across state lines , the money gained from a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE (he was betting money people) wasn't reported to the IRS.

This was more than just dogs.

Stallworth got off because he cooperated, Vick was playing big boy. The same for plaxico burress who should have taken a deal ASAP.

His career is now done.

I disagree. I do think there is a racial element to Vick's case. Whether or not he got what the law recommends for his crime, my main gripe is the vast difference with which americans in general treat criminals who hurt animals vs humans. How many other nfl players have been cuffed for assault? accessory to this and that? manslaughter? Drug trafficking? etc much more serious crimes than Vicks. Yet Vick is the only one being villified on a level and on a scale I have not seen before.

Go siddon jare  I've see '13' and I liked her more , I found that movie to be unexpectedly funny. Daredevil and Elektra were however uhm mistakes lol. Garner is my girl jor, very cool, calm, simple, no-drama, low key, no drugs/alcohol breakdowns, no arrests, no flaunting of sexuality, former Chemistry major, enjoys gardening, plays saxophone etc . . . if only other hollywood actresses would look and learn from this true role model.

The official story is "compassion" and that they are trying to be better "humans" than the people who bombed them.

BS. There is something going on behind the scenes that the rest of us are not privy to. And see the hero's welcome he got in Libya . . . twisted people.
