I'm assuming that the woman in question is remarrying someone other than her original husband? The other night, my wife and I were wondering aghastly about how often Christians overlook Jesus' commands regarding divorce and remarriage. It seems pretty obvious to me. Then again, I am very glad that I will never be in that situation, because it is probably really really hard. Tell her it's not you that's judging, it's the Bible! <BR/><BR/>I'm very curious, how does she Biblically justify what she is wanting to do?<BR/><BR/>Hopefully your challenge goes well, and I thank you for standing up for one of God's frequently overlooked commands.JunkMalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619673168896233941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37491865.post-86472838516423752532007-02-21T09:50:00.000-05:002007-02-21T09:50:00.000-05:00I wish more Christians understood this, and also u...I wish more Christians understood this, and also understood that the Bible cannot be chopped up into sound-bytes and used to justify something that goes against the meaning of the passage. I'm in the middle of challenging a Christian's divorce and planned remarriage, and she keeps telling me that I can't judge her and "He who is without sin, cast the first stone." The irony hit me like a ton of bricks, because that sound-byte comes from a passage in which a woman was caught in adultery, and Christ didn't dismiss her sin, but told her to "Go and sin no more." If she had taken any time to read the verse in context, she never would have tried to use it in her own defense. <BR/><BR/>I find it is under-emphasized in our churches that we are commanded to hold each other accountable for our sins. If it were taught more, I wonder if we wouldn't hear less "Don't judge me!"<BR/><BR/>Good post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
