But if you read your <br />Conclusions and Applications<br />that I have included below<br />I see you allow for all divorce and remarriages<br />my thoughts in (added)<br /><br /><br />2. Only God, not man, can end this one-flesh relationship (Matthew 19:6; Mark 10:9—this is why remarriage is called adultery by Jesus: he assumes that the first marriage is still binding, Matthew 5:32; Luke 16:18; Mark 10:11),<br />3. God ends the one-flesh relationship of marriage only through the death of one of the spouses (Romans 7:1-3; 1 Corinthians 7:39),<br /><br />Those who are already remarried: remarried ? <br /><br />1. Should acknowledge that the choice to remarry and the act of entering a second marriage was (? IS) sin, and confess (and STOP) it as such and seek forgiveness <br />(IT is called adultery because a man has another man's wife, one not allowed for him to have) <br /><br />What Moses Said<br /><br />What the Pharisees are referring to in Matthew and Mark is Deuteronomy 24:1-4 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 2And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife. 3And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; 4Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance.<br /><br /><br /><br />All the rest of scripture teaches that marriage is until death and to marry a divorced woman is adultery, so to interpret this passage as God saying it’s ok to marry a divorced woman, makes God to be saying two opposite things. This makes God out to be a liar. We know God cannot lie and will not go against his word. Therefore it makes much more sense to read this passage with the understanding that it is talking about the first husband as only engaged or betrothed and not married until death. Just like Joseph was going to divorce Mary even though he was not married to her yet in Matthew 1:18 – 23. Moses also said in Deuteronomy 22:13 this example of marriage till death, where a husband claims his wife was not a virgin. If he is lying he pays a fine. But if she was not a virgin she gets killed not divorced. And in verse 28 we find an example of marriage till death, where a man rapes a virgin, which is not betrothed. Here there is no betrothal period and no divorce allowed.<br /><br />We are also not told what defiled the woman in Deuteronomy 24:4. It could be the publicly declared uncleanness that this man claimed in order to say she was not fit to have as a wife. So in making this “Godly” claim he put this “unclean” woman away. In acting on this “Godly” claim and receiving the benefits of it, to later say it is now Godly to do the exact opposite and take her as a clean wife, makes God out to be a liar.<br /><br />Please let me know what you think.<br /><br />My marriage page <br />http://whatismarriagetonywpiano.weebly.com/<br /><br />Tony Walker<br />tonywpiano@yahoo.comtonywpianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366224928344032395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630151433712540026.post-72918671376782985322009-10-28T10:12:04.279-05:002009-10-28T10:12:04.279-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.tonywpianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366224928344032395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630151433712540026.post-61512113019974257592009-10-28T09:36:15.004-05:002009-10-28T09:36:15.004-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.tonywpianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366224928344032395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630151433712540026.post-22734426102255978572009-08-30T21:04:15.937-05:002009-08-30T21:04:15.937-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.tonywpianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366224928344032395noreply@blogger.com
