Christians are no more perfect that anyone else Also it is more important that we be equally yoked, and in some cases where one partner either evolves spiritually or regresses spiritually, we should stay married and bear with the other one.

To many so called Christians make excuses fir divorce and remarriage. The apostle Paul was very clear in 1 Cor. 7:10 But to the married I give instructions, *not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband 11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife. With regards to God hating sin, yes that's very clear but I've often wondered why God judged Sodom and Gomorrah so harshly? Was it not due to their sexual misconduct? |

He condemns it outright. If you are not going to stand against sin, then you are abetting sin. We are called to stand strong against sinfulness in our lands. We are to be salt and light, not going along and not judging so that we can be friendly to everyone. Jesus was not "nice". He told the sinners they were sinning. Often he said, O perverse generation, how much longer do I have to suffer you. He called a spade a spade and he didn't allow people to say that sin didn't matter because God would just forgive all sin. No, he would forgive the sin when asked, but then he would always say to the person, Go and sin no more. You try to shut up Christians by telling us not to judge, but we are called to judge and to refute the sinfulness of this world in our generation. We are called to take a stand and when something is wrong, we are to say that it's wrong and not go along with it. Because Christians have been going along and getting along for 50 + years now, Divorce is rampant and children are no longer being taught about God in the schools. Now, they want to teach our children about the evil mohammed, but not about Jesus Christ. We are having to homeschool our children to keep them from being taught that homosexuality is not only normal, but something desirable. We are having to fight to keep men out of the women's restrooms. If Christians stood up together and said NO! to these sinful behaviors, there would be less room for the evil to take root in our society and our children would be listening to us and not to rock and roll bands. Our children would think of the things of God everyday and not comic books. But we are weak and have been talked down, strung out chasing dollar bills and have gotten lazy where it counts. Now children are being murdered to the tune of 3500 per day in abortions and the young people don't take marriage seriously at all. We have a problem and divorce is certainly one part of that problem but so is homosexuality. Christard and Lover of God |

Quoting: Simple_Man The only exception he gave is to the man ....he said if a woman commits fornication (sexual sin) against her husband then the man can remarry but he never addressed the woman What say ye being Gay is not a sin... its a abomination Doesn't matter .....neither a homosexual or an adulterer will enter into the Kingdom of. Heaven.....that's what the inspired Word of God in the Bible says That's not what I said That's what the bible said You either believe or you don't And most professing Christians don't believe what Jesus taught about adultery They just don't ....and they are hypocrites Actually it goes further than that. If you look at a women with lust it is sin. The NT, outside of Paul, doesn't address homosexuality directly, but one can infer that even the thought is a sin. Of coarse sin is sin. You have to repent of all of it. Paul in Romans 1 addresses homosexuality adequately for the entire NT. Christard and Lover of God |
