LnF - You've missed a very clear statement that I made yesterday:
Quote:
I can not tell anyone if that is the case in their sitch or if it ever will be. That is between a person and God.
Anyone can look it up, and PRAY, for themselves if they have questions. I am NOT an authority. Further, anyone that would be discouraged simply by what I said IS LOOKING TO THE WRONG PERSON FOR GUIDANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
no... I didn't miss it Amy.
I quoted the post I was responding to. And if you don't realize the influence you have here .... uhhh, here's a heads up
Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Then let me shut up right now because I am no one that needs to be emulated.
good grief girl.... nobody said anything about emulation. Your experiences, the things you've learned, the words you convey.... they are your sphere of influence. Hadn't you noticed how often your opinion is asked.... or your words cited.... C'mon Amy
For Pete's sake all I was trying to say is go ahead and carry your big stick.... just don't forget to walk softly...
Happy Thursday!
Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
L-n-f well said " just don't forget to walk softly..." Amy I would just add IF you post pages of scriptures people will if not look to you,at the very least they might just ask the odd question. The last few replies have been fiery,quick tempered and lacking in love and compassion IMO. Surely the last two things are at the very heart of Christian teachings whatever your denomination. I am sorry you were so angered by the question. I hope you find your signiture line ...grace, mercy and peace from God..." 2 John 1:1-3
My husband is the one who has the MLC. He left two weeks after my son tried to kill himself. He has blamed me for everything the last 2 years. He thinks my son's problem is because of diet. My son has been self medicating since his dad left. He now has a OW. I want to recouncil and now have to DB through the beginning of divorce proceedings. HELP!!!!! He is really pressuring me. I put him off for the last 2 weeks. MY son just got out of rehab and I was in the hospital. I need some words of wisdom?
A word of caution: You must read and understand scripture in context of the other passages. It does no good to throw out individual verses if you have not first read and sought to understand how they fit into the context. It is a misuse of scripture to do that.
All ESV
Mat 19:
9And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."
Mat 5:
32But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Mark10:
10And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, 12and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
Luke 16:
18"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."
Thanks, BND. I have just hit a snag. It's a HUGE one so that tells me the enemy is pulling out all the stops so I must be making headway. Just gotta get this one thing under my feet. I'll stand down from posting in the meantime because it is reflecting.
