    Or if it takes the place of abandonment. It strikes me as legalistic to insist that a woman whose husband went out to buy cigarettes ten years ago and never returned stay legally married.

    My understanding is that in Roman society, that would constitute a divorce in itself, which makes sense of Paul saying "no longer bound". I suspect a lot of the modern church debate is importing ideas that weren't intended in Scripture.

    "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      It's interesting that Jesus was actually squaring off with the Pharisees about their own rules and regs (really hammers down on them in Matt 23), and from that, we get a very legalistic interpretation of what Jesus was saying.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        They do? Don't you mean your God forces them to fornicate and commit adultery and remarry? Because they have no free will according to you and must do what God forces them to do.

          Why do you care? They're just doing what your God requires them to do without their free will.

              In Matthew 19:9, the man who marries the woman divorced by an adulterous husband commits adultery. This means the woman does too. You cannot get around this. I only derail "Christians" and "Churches" that allow for divorce and remarriage based on the "except clause" of Matthew 19:9. Can you prove me wrong? Continue with your insults if you cannot.

                “So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.” Romans 7:3 (KJV 1900)

                  “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.” Matthew 19:9 (KJV 1900)

                  Her husband committed adultery and she does too when the new husband marries her.

                    What's with the giant font, Dave?

                    This reminds me of the preacher who put a note in the margin of his sermon manuscript -- "weak point - YELL LOUDER".

                          Point out where Jesus modified Moses in Matthew 19:9.

                            Did anyone notice that the blame for the divorced woman's adultery falls on the man who divorced her?

                              Has anyone considered the title of this thread? And the Derail LIE it promotes? I started the original thread and am now called a "derailer" because I post to it! How can I derail my own thread by contributing to it? Don't trust this bunch who sympathizes with heart-rending concerns as any Con-Man would.

                                So, as I predicted, you're here to poke Christians in the eye, then get all flustered about it, and either get banned or kicked out so you can boast about what a horrible group we are, and you're the innocent victim.

                                You need professional help, Dave.
