amber_ella:

Look, if this woman's child bothers you, then please do not marry her. Let her and her child find a man who will love and want them both.

thanks, i will consider ur advice

amber_ella:

If I met a father who was not very actively involved in his child's life, I would leave him so fast, you wouldn't even see me running away! What am I going to do with a deadbeat lowlife like that?

u missed the point, was not talking about the childs dad
Family / Re: Can U Marry A Lady That Has A Child by leirop: 4:02pm On Jun 03, 2008
Tell me if i am wrong ladies, but i think it is a little easier if the man has a child than if the woman has one. In most cases, the child is with the mom anyway, so if u marry a guy that has a child, u will probably not really be in the childs life

I concur. What still baffles me is whether the Christian in this case could then re-marry (a different partner)? smiley


most definitely, she is no longer under bondage

@leirop,

Good reply - I appreciate your points.

We are both agreed there. The point I tried to make earlier was that "adultery" was not the only time (or reason for) a Christian divorcing. By extension, it seems to me that physical abuse leading to irreconciliable differences (such as "believer" vs "unbeliever"wink are also highlighted.

Although, it is a question of who walks away from the marriage - the Christian of the unbeliever? Certainly, the apostle makes clear that if the unbeliever seeks to either (a) remain (1 Cor. 7:12), or (b) depart (1 Cor. 7:15), the believer is not to force the opposite.

In practice, what would someone say to this situation: A man has clear evidence that his wife cheated on him. Rather than seek divorce "as the Bible says", he sought to forgive her and continue his marriage (I know the couple). Some of my Christian friends were averse and opined that the brother should have divorced her rather than forgive her. He already had answered that just as Christ did not condemn the adulterous woman in John 8, so he has asked God to give him the faith to cherish his wife. What would you say?

True.

I follow your line of reason.

Okay, here are my thoughts (this is personal and does not reflect what our pastor teaches):

I believe that one can re-marry. My reasons are based on the following:

(a) In John 8, Christ forgave the woman caught in the very act; and when He said that she should go and sin no more, I suppose that it did not mean that the woman in question was to remain unmarried.

(b) what about the woman in John 4? She had had 5 husbands and the man she was with was not her husband (v. 18). What would she do - divorce and remain unmarried - or remarry?

Whatever the take on this (we all have our various persuasions), I am persuaded that Christians can re-marry in some circumstances.

(a) If the Christian walks away, he/she should remain unmarried or seek to be reconciled to their spouses.

(b) If the divorce is irrecinciliable (especially if it was an unbeliever who walks away), then it seems (to me) that verse 15 does not hold a believer bound under such cases.

What do you think? Please share. smiley

thanks a lot, sorry my reply is a little late. b4 i continue, i want u to know i asked this question because i really want to know the answer. i also believe that christians can divorce bc of reasons other than adultery, the only problem is on what basis do we draw the line.
anyway to answer ur questions
as per the woman in John 8, i really don't understand what ur point is, pls explain.

the woman is John 5 will have to go bck to her original husband, which is the 1st husband. but i get ur point. i think the other marraiges will have to be nullified cause GOD will probably not recognize them, just my thot.

if the unbeliever walks away and starts the divorce process, then it is fine.

syrup:

I am usually blessed by people who state their convictions succinctly and boldly. smiley

However, let me add a few:

It seems that we have narrowed what the Bible actually teaches. Adultery is not the ONLY time (or reason for) a Christian divorcing. 1 Corinthians 7 details the various issues involved in divorce questions as well. What about the question of beliefs - "If any brother hath a wife that believeth not" (as in v. 12)? There are cases when people have been divorced on grounds of whether they had different worldviews - and verse 12 (in my opinion, at least) suggests that sometimes these disagreements may be so heated as to involved physical abuses.

In such cases, is it then Biblical to be separated? The answer is given in verse 15 - "But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace."

Just my thoughts.

thanks a lot dear, but if u read the 1 Corinthians 10-13, it explains that if the wife does NOT BELIEVE AND SHE IS WILLING TO LIVE WITH HIM, LET HIM NOT DIVORCE HER, and the next verse explains the same for the husband that does not delieve. What it did not say was that the believer should walk away, it said if the unbeliever wants to walk away. The only part of the bible that specifically talks about the believer walking away is if there is adultery, and that is why i asked my question. And i understand the seperation, but my issue is divorcing, because one cannot re-marry if one is just seperated. Please let me know your thoughts.

4 Him:

then get a divorce. I don't think the bible admonishes you to remain in a marriage where your life is in danger.

good talk, thanks

The Bible says the only time a christian should divorce is if there is adultery, what if there is physical abuse?
