Gee where do I start?

Let's look at marriage and divorce.

Matthew
5:31 “It was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a legal document.’
5:32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”

19:8 Jesus said to them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way.
19:9 Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery.”
19:10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is better not to marry!”
19:11 He said to them, “Not everyone can accept this statement, except those to whom it has been given.
19:12 For there are some eunuchs who were that way from birth, and some who were made eunuchs by others, and some who became eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this should accept it.”

Mark
10:11 So he told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. 10:12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

Luke:
16:18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and the one who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

1 Corinthians:
7:10 To the married I give this command – not I, but the Lord – a wife should not divorce a husband
7:11 (but if she does, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband), and a husband should not divorce his wife.
7:12 To the rest I say – I, not the Lord – if a brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is happy to live with him, he should not divorce her.
7:13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is happy to live with her, she should not divorce him.
7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified because of the wife, and the unbelieving wife because of her husband. Otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
7:15 But if the unbeliever wants a divorce, let it take place. In these circumstances the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you in peace.
7:16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will bring your husband to salvation? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will bring your wife to salvation?

From Paul
7:10But to the married people I give charge--not I but the Lord--that the wife is not to separate from her husband.
7:11But if she does [separate from and divorce him], let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband. And [I charge] the husband [also] that he should not put away or divorce his wife.

This is a dating forum. I guess there are one or two adulterers here. People who claim to live according to the bible but who clearly are not.

Shall we go on to other issues? Child rearing or diet maybe?
What about the roles of women?

Goodness.... and I THOUGHT I was in the Politics, Current News & Events Forum

Lindyy

YES, it would be appreciated!!!!
Lindyy

i guess this answers a previous posters question

You asked and I answered.

Sorry if the answer proves my point.

It's not my wish to make anyone mad. Really I find it terribly interesting that people can so passionately espouse a position and even advocate imposing that position on others when they do not to put it simply "walk the walk" themselves.

I have always felt it has much to do with tempering personal guilt and shortcomings but I can't prove that. It's just something I have observed over time.

There's an old saying, "There is no woman so moral as a reformed whore"

She, who made so many bad choices is anxious to cling to her new found morality and to preach it's merits to others as a way of dealing with the lingering guilt of her past.

It's simply an aspect of human nature I find fascinating.

I have always respected Lindyy and hope that she respects me as I have never stooped to name calling or any of the other nonsense that some might do.

I always post with the utmost respect for anyone I am typing to.

We are supposed to live in a free nation and yet "minorities" still have to fight for rights. I would like to remind people that almost everyone in the USA has had to fight for their rights at one point or another.

Women had to fight for the right to vote and work outside the home.

African americans had to fight for rights.

At one point reliogion had to fight for rights, because guess what....christianity isn't the only religion out there.

So gays now have to fight for the right to marry.

As I have said many many times already....If gays can do everything else america wants from us, pay bills, taxes, fight inour wars and sometimes die for our country, then we should have ALL of the right severyone else has not just the ones that people want us to have...including marriage.

The marriage doesn't have to be done by a church it can be done by a judge or jp. Gays just want to have the right to do it, I am gay and I am not religious with no plans to marry so I am only in this for the rights of others.

No matter how all this comes to pass I will not love my fellow man any less. Each person that I talk to in these forums has made some impact on me...including Lindyy. I am grateful to have met every person here and consider them, at least to me, a friend. We may not always agree but, really, who agrees on everything?

My roommate is my best friend yet we are polar opposites...yet I can't imagine my life without him.

Are you insinuating someone on here is or was a whore?

I have always had respect for you.

If the topic had not been brought up....I would have never made any comments......

If people would view my profile they would see my favorite singer....who will always have a place in my heart and whom I still dearly love....is FREDDIE MERCURY.....and I have been bashed for being against homosexuality and yet loving Freddie....people just do not get it...LOVE the sinner (of which I am one) and HATE the sin.......
AND I am not a happy puppy when I myself sin....sigh......

The following is something I posted today in another web site that I am on:


MY TRIBUTE TO FREDDIE..........FREDDIE.......ALWAYS IN MY HEART................



ALTHOUGH HERE IN THE USA NOVEMBER, DECEMBER AND JANUARY ARE HOLIDAY TIMES........BUT TO ME IT IS A REMINDER OF THE PASSING AWAY OF A GREAT LEGAND.......FREDDIE HAS LEFT A LEGACY OF REMARKABLE MUSICAL AND PERFORMANING EXCELLENCE.................

Description: Freddie Mercury was a British musician and songwriter, best known as the frontman and pianist of the rock band Queen. He is remembered for his vocal abilities and charisma as a live performer. As a songwriter, he composed many international hits, including "Killer Queen", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Somebody to Love", "We Are the Champions" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". In 1991, Mercury died of bronchial pneumonia brought on by AIDS......

Also known as: Farrokh Bulsara

Born: September 5, 1946

Died: November 24, 1991

Sure, and you should have a very easy time finding the more than a zillion of them. Just google homosexuality is a sin, ok seriously, just type.... the bible is the word of God, so many many choices.. Grin!

"There is no woman so moral as a reformed whore" lynann

Too true, how about x anything. x smokers can be a real pain too. lol
Excuse me I need to go burn one.

Ok now Lyndy, nice to meet you. I have always had a problem that that hate the sin love the sinner thing. Why because if you are gay you can't escape the fact that people still consider your whole life a sin if you choose a gay lifestyle.

My life is not a sin to me, it's only a sin to those that assume it is because the bible said so, so that is why it makes me so nutso when I hear it, nothing against you .... just a thought.

By the way menopause should be the real sin. Ya struggle your whole life to do what's right and to have the time to share with your friends, then all of a sudden you can't remember which friend your talking to... lmao. I think I am losing my mind.

Ok ok I will try to pay attention!

Oh wow I watched a movie about Fredie's life. It was great, but very sad to me. Maybe I watched it on a bad day.

No, I am not insinuating anyone on these boards is or was ever a whore.

It is almost mind boggling that any reader would think I was.

The saying, once quite common, was one used to illustrate the foibles of human nature.

The whore once saved from her disreputable behavior distances herself from it and decries the behavior no matter how trifling of others as a way to offset her own feelings of guilt.

We've all seen it in others and sometimes in ourselves.

Keep asking questions of me if you like. Just remember before you or anyone else runs to the mods crying she was mean to me in her answer it was you who first personally addressed me in this forum. If you persist and don't care for an answer I give then please accept the outcome like an adult and don't go whining to the mods.

um those could happen even without gay marriage....in fact families are destroyed daily by divorce and such and the ice caps started melting long before gay marriage became an issue...

GOD MADE ADAM AND EVE.....NOT ADAM AND STEVE!

and people ARE NOT born gay....how idiotic!

I found it to be an abrasive/inflamatory statement...making one wonder the purpose/intent of it having been made.

Oh wow, that's original... are you gay? Then how would you know if gays are born gay or not.

Ok...I'm not gay myself, nor curious. I don't like infringement on peoples' right to be free, though. Personally, I respect a person's right to choose. I am a faith based person, though, and I understand what the bible says. My thing is that if the man upstairs says this is wrong, that will be between he and the individual when that meeting arrives. And I believe that meeting does not involve myself, or anyone else.

That is an extremely judgmental/derogatory statement, especially when you obviously do not personally know someone.......
