RE>>This self righteous Christian attitude about it doesn't cut it<< What attitude - My entire post TO you was SCRIPTURE. RE>>God hates divorce, but it's not a sin.<< How can God hate something that is not sin? To hate without justification is sin - Does God sin? God's hatred is perfectly just - God hates sin and sinners. It is only in Christ through repentance and obedience that men are saved. Without repentance - there is no real conversion. RE>>When a wife won't try why bother.<< When I married it was for "better or worse - sickness or health - richer or poorer - til death does us part." Marriage is a VOW made to God How can you break a vow made to God without sinning Sidney? RE>>living out your life unhappy is not acceptable anymore<< God commands men - he does not merely advise. 1 Corinthians 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, If you divorce your wife just because you are emotionally unfulfilled or whatever you are not a SERVANT of Christ. You are self seeking and still lost in sin. Christ allowed divorce for one offence only - adultery. Unless the unbeliever leaves you - you are BOUND and TIED by a HOLY VOW and COVENANT to stay married - trying to drive her away is also sin. Unhappy? Who cares?? Get righteous - then you will find happiness. Unlawful divorce is sin - unhappiness is your decision. Brian

><>...Hi Sydney...><> It is really none of my concern but are you really asking for some guidance on divorce as it applies to you personally? Sydney, even if scripture concerning divorce could liberally be interpreted as sin....or if God does look upon it as sin Just keep in mind and never forget that God knows the heart, and there is no sin that God will not forgive but one.....and divorce is not the one. Sidney there is so much more to what Jesus spoke of concerning divorce especially as it relates to adultry. It is two fold. Divorce in and of itself is not the sin...But In any case Sydney... God is not blind. He knows the hearts of all of us. He knows and understands that we are weak and we sin.....but with sincere repentance straight from the heart.... He forgives our sins.... All of them....but one........He really is a loving, compassionate and forgiving God. There is so much more Sydney and you know most of it too. This is not the forum to discuss it fully. I don't know your circumstances and you don't have to tell me, but I would just suggest that if you haven't given it a lot of thought and done a lot of soul searching and praying yet.....then please take some time to do it....and when you think you are done....do some more. You are a praying man Sydney, so call upon God and ask him for His guidance. He will not let you down. Maybe you and your wife can both call upon God together. Divorce can be as painful as the death of a close relative. I do hope that you and your wife will call upon God in this very trying time. I also hope and pray that you both find comfort in knowing that God really is a forgiving God but more than that he is a loving and compassionate Father. He alone knows your heart. Praying that you trust in God to help and guide you. Shalom...><>
