I believe the Bible to be inspired by God and written by man. I think the translations from Aramaic to other languages may have changed certain passages and even a change of a word can change a whole meaning.
We have different parameters today that that of when the Bible was originally inspired...and things like those written in Leviticus (like a woman casting her eyes upon a man and being stoned) are ridiculous
I believe that the inspiration given by God is very evident in the Bible however, I believe the Bible itself, as a book, has been used to justify far too many atrocities to be THE word of God. The WORD of God, to me, is clear...it does not open itself to interpretation and it is for US. God speaks to me daily. As I believe He does to everyone. Some days I can hear Him like a bell and some days He is muddled because I am distracted.
I am not suggesting that God is telling you to find another partner.
I am merely suggesting that sometimes people ARE told to find a different partner...God tells them...and if you are suggesting that the Bible says that can't be true then I call foul because we do not know the words God speaks to others...we only know what He speaks to us.
This is where I would caution instead of following words written down by a fallable man that have changed through multiple translations and interpretations, we instead receive our messages from the Savior instead of assuming what He would tell us to do.
That is all.
Hi back to you and yours... I am sorry to hear about the kids being distant...They are at that age, where they want to be older than they are...the time will come when they will dream of being taken care of and worried over again
