@SavvyTamz_57 If you are divorced and remarried you are an adulteress. If you have kids they are being raised in an adulterous household.
Yo need to repent and can only do so by leaving your sin.
@RyanTMcAllister I don't see the problem. Nearly all those in MAGA take on the name "Christian."
What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church are you not to judge those inside?
It seems pretty clear that this is not only allowed but necessary for brothers to do.
@CalebMPowers I'm just a faithful reader who despises hypocrisy. The Canon Press folk are known for focusing on a handful of pet sins while they ignore others that are much more prevalent in the Bible.
@TheMuppetPastor Is it living to tell divorced and remarried people who are adulterers that they can continue in their sin?
How come you guys never will answer this question?
Could it be that your posting is simply performative and you don't really believe you need to follow God's word?
@Leedogmac@Royalfan83@caragsdale There are 30x the number of divorced and remarried couples. Most likely there are 100x the number of kids living in this perversion.
But we don't wanna talk about that.
@Leedogmac@Royalfan83@caragsdale 1. Jesus said EXCEPT FOR porneia. If this is an exception (and historically the church said it's not) there can be no others. Don't make Jesus a liar!
2. Approx 75% of divorces didn't include adultery. Thus there are millions more people living in sinful marriages than gay ones.
@Leedogmac@Royalfan83@caragsdale When God said to Adam that he could eat from any tree in the garden EXCEPT FOR one, did God mean that other exceptions could be added later?
@Leedogmac@Royalfan83@caragsdale Dude, look at church history. Most said those passages meant remarriage with a living EX was impossible.
Circa 1600 some added porneia. Then, even though Jesus said "except for porneia," people began adding other reasons, thus making Jesus a liar.
"Except for" means no other!
@Leedogmac@Royalfan83@caragsdale It's already happened. Did you know that in some states divorce and remarriage used to be illegal as little as 75 years ago?
The vast majority of the church accepts it... Way more than accepts lgbtq issues.
@Leedogmac@Royalfan83@caragsdale 1. Remarriage is never permissible with a living EX.
2. It used to be illegal. There isn't a battle right now because you guys have already made it accessible. You don't even say anything about any remarriages these days.
3. You woke
@Royalfan83@Leedogmac@caragsdale Divorce and remarriage is ADULTERY.
Are we so woke now that we won't call out the sin of people living in adultery?
100 years ago this would have been called out!
@Leedogmac@Royalfan83@caragsdale Do you really think a church shouldn't say something about their sexual perversion when they find out a new couple in their church is divorced and remarried?
@Royalfan83@Leedogmac@caragsdale Fine. But the principle should hold with other sins. If not, you are just picking and choosing.
The Bible talks 10x as much about divorce & remarriage being adultery. Will any of these "conservatives" like the OP address it? Nope.
They just choose to focus upon their pet sins.
