Download or read book Divorce and Remarriage in Relation to the Gospel of Salvation for Believers Into Christ Jesus written by Repsaj Jasper and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many professing Christians and preachers and theologians quote Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9 as the governing portion of the law of the God concerning marriage, divorce and remarriage, to allow believers to divorce their spouses and remarry again. They then believe that this way believers are still following the Lord Jesus Christ. The use of Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9 without proper reference to the full teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ on the law governing marriage, divorce and remarriage would lead to everlasting consequences upon those professing Christians when they misinterpret the marriage and divorce and remarriage law. Theologians, teachers and preachers hardly warn their listeners and readers of the serious consequences of breaking the law on marriage, divorce and remarriage. The issue of divorce and remarriage is an urgent matter in this age where infidelity and marriage breakdowns are so prevalent even among professing Christians. That is why the correct and true interpretation of the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ and Paul on this subject must be revealed and made known in order that those professing Christians who are in situations where they contemplate or have to decide what they should do in their marriage breakdown - that they be give the true knowledge of the law governing marriage, divorce and remarriage in order that whatever decisions they make, that they also know the consequences. THIS IS THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS BOOK - TO REVEAL WITHOUT UNCERTAINTY THE TRUE MEANING OF THE LAW(AS TAUGHT BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST PRINCIPALLY AND BY PAUL SUPPLEMENTARILY) governing marriage, divorce and remarriage and the consequences of breaking the marriage covenant. The intention of the God concerning marriage was from the beginning of the creation of mankind. The law governing marriage, divorce and remarriage was only given to Moses for the nation of Israel. Before that the original intention of the God on marriage was already not followed by many Old Testament believers. The law governing marriage, divorce and remarriage was not adequately interpreted by Old Testament saints which led to wrong interpretation and breaking of the law without being aware. The Lord Jesus Christ being full of truth is only One who has perfect understanding of the Word and the law of the God. And throughout His preaching of the gospel of salvation He also corrected and revealed the true interpretations of many key aspects of the law to His disciples and also the nation of Israel. New Testament believers therefore do not have any excuse to break any of the commands of the God and in the context of this Book, the law governing marriage, divorce and remarriage. Any breaking of the law on divorce and remarriage may result in sinning to the death, because the professing Christians may be continuing in fornication or adultery. Some key points revealed in this Book are: - * Why Old Testament saints have more than one wife at the same time? Do they break the law of the God on marriage? * The true meaning of Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9. * The biblical meaning of betrothal or engagement to be married. * Is divorce permitted for any reason once a marriage is consummated? * The importance of the law governing marriage, divorce and remarriage to the gospel of salvation. *Paul's teaching using the law concerning marriage to explain an important aspect of the gospel of salvation. The content in this Book should be tested against the unadulterated Word of the God, that is the original texts of the Holy Bible, in order to prove and/or to disprove its veracity.

Download or read book Divorce and Remarriage by the Book written by William G. Lagasse and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divorce is rampant in the world and in the Church. The World Health Organization has named swine flu a pandemic because of its rapid spread around the world. Divorce, because of its rapid and out of control growth in the Church should be viewed as a Christian pandemic. Divorce and Remarriage looks at three areas, the problem, the solution and how to get to the solution. Divorce in the Christian church is a result of secular thinking and a biblical ignorance. The Bible is full of illustrations of marital strife and its affects on family, children and associates. The solution is simple; the Bible also gives explicit instructions and illustrations to the Christian so they can have a meaningful and fulfilling relationship. The last step is the hardest; how to arrive at the solution. Divorce and Remarriage is not a self help book. Christians cannot help themselves. Jesus said he would send a helper; the Holy Spirit. Therein lies the solution. In the power of the Holy Spirit we find the solution; a transformed life. Divorce and Remarriage is a call to Christians to take responsibility for their actions, submit themselves under the authority of Scripture and find fulfillment in their next and last marriage. Bill became a Christian while going through his second divorce. He is a graduate of Word Of Life Bible Institute in Schroon Lake, New York. He has a bachelor of Arts degree is Church Education from Southeastern Bible College in Birmingham, Alabama. He is currently living with his wife in Sarasota, Florida.

Download or read book Christian Divorce Remarriage Theology written by John DeVries and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many churches and believers deeply struggle with this topic. This writing sets out the correct Biblical rules and guidelines to guide believers, how they should deal with marriage problems to hopefully avoid a divorce. This book focusses on the Bible doctrinal truths involved in both Bible acceptable divorce and remarriage theology. This book provides a mental surgery of understanding, how we are to follow Bible textual rules of engagement to resolve conflict. There are Christ given directions to resolve relational conflict, which are rarely applied. These need to be taught by churches and ministry. Due to a lack in this pursuit, many Christians experience needless divorces. This problem is magnified due to the majority of churches having an none-biblical and limited ministry structure. It takes much time to genuinely shepherd people through difficulties and issue resolution. This will require teaching the applicable scriptures and the setting out of the conduct rules that apply to a godly love in a marriage commitment. So much heartache can be alleviated. The two groups of people who are my target purchasers are; the Christian believers who struggle with resolving marriage problems, then also the church leadership who oversee sincere believers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book walks each of us through the reality checks we need in order to have the marriage we want!” —Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of For Women Only In today’s workplace, women are often rewarded for having type A personalities: driven, demanding, ambitious, and strong. Yet when it comes to their marriages, those same traits can backfire. After all, no one goes into marriage hoping for a promotion. What is a wife to do? April Cassidy knows this struggle firsthand. She thought she was a great Christian wife and begged God to make her passive husband into a more loving, involved, godly leader. Instead, God opened her eyes to changes that she needed to make, such as laying down her desire for control and offering genuine, unconditional respect—not just love—to her husband. Cassidy’s conclusions may be as startling to readers as they were to her, but The Peaceful Wife shares how she and many others have learned to reorient their lives to biblical commands—resulting in healthier, happier marriages. In the end, you’ll find The Peaceful Wife a powerful path to God’s design for women to live in full submission to Christ as Lord.

Download or read book Divorce and Remarriage written by Virginia King and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So many times we ask the question “Why am I remaining Single and my partner was unfaithful, that is not fair to me. At this point we refer to Matthew 19:1-9, Is Divorce Always Wrong? Women in Jesus time had little legal protection, can a man divorce his wife for any reason. They could be divorced simply for displeasing their husbands. Jesus teaching here is that divorce is contrary to the will of God and his intentions is that marriage last a lifetime. Jesus acknowledged that in the case of adultery, divorce may be a sad necessity when one partner refuses to stop his or her unfaithfulness. This not the Bibles’ last word on divorce, however; does God permit divorce? Paul later suggested another possible scenario for divorce: when a believer is deserted by an unbelieving spouse (1 Cor. 7:15).
Download or read book Divorce and Remarriage written by B. Ward Powers and published by Wipf & Stock Pub. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The Bible's "Law and Grace" approach is summed up in the one short saying (1 Corinthians 7:27-28, CEB.): "If you are married, don't get a divorce. If you are divorced, don't try to find a spouse. But if you do marry, you have not sinned." This book provides a careful and detailed presentation of these aspects of the Bible's teaching, and its application in the lives of Christians in the twenty-first century. Divorce is completely contrary to the will and purpose of God, which is: "One man, one woman, for life." "For I hate divorce, says the Lord" (Mal 2:16). But Jesus focuses our attention on the real problem: sin disrupting, damaging and ultimately destroying the marriage relationship. "Do not let this happen," Jesus warns us. He says, "They are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore humans shouldn't pull apart what God has put together" (Matt 19:6//Mark 10:8-9, CEB). And to allow (or to cause) the marriage relationship to be sundered is a serious sin. But the grace of Christ can forgive sin, and restore the sinner. And in certain circumstances, as set out by Paul, the Apostle says to those who have been divorced, "they must marry." THE THREE-STEP PAULINE PROCEDURE when a marriage is being sundered: 1. If there is a rift in the marriage relationship, "seek reconciliation" (1 Corinthians 7:11b). Paul bases this instruction upon the crystal-clear command of Christ: "Do not let anyone sunder the one-flesh relationship of marriage" (Matt 19:6). Whatever is going wrong with that relationship: deal with it. This is the word of the Lord himself. 2. But if because of human sin and disobedience the marriage breaks up, then "remain unmarried" (1 Corinthians 7:11a). And seek now whether God is giving the gift of celibacy, chastity and continence, as Paul himself had received (1 Corinthians 7:7-8). This may now be God's calling to the person who has become agamos, "demarried," whether divorced or widowed. 3. But for others who have become agamos and who find, after seeking to live celibate, that they do not have this gift, Paul has a word of guidance in their circumstances: "they must marry" (1 Corinthians 7:9).

Download or read book Just Do Something written by Kevin L. DeYoung and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyper-spiritual approaches to finding God's will don't work. It's time to try something new: Give up. Pastor and author Kevin DeYoung counsels Christians to settle down, make choices, and do the hard work of seeing those choices through. Too often, he writes, God's people tinker around with churches, jobs, and relationships, worrying that they haven't found God's perfect will for their lives. Or-even worse-they do absolutely nothing, stuck in a frustrated state of paralyzed indecision, waiting...waiting...waiting for clear, direct, unmistakable direction. But God doesn't need to tell us what to do at each fork in the road. He's already revealed his plan for our lives: to love him with our whole hearts, to obey His Word, and after that, to do what we like. No need for hocus-pocus. No reason to be directionally challenged. Just do something.
Download or read book Jesus and Divorce written by Gordon Wenham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We believe our conclusions are of vital concern to the individual Christian, the church and the whole of Society. May God give all of us the grace to know his will and live by it. Divorce and remarriage in the Church have been subjects of debate and controversy for centuries, and the issue is of ever-increasing importance today. With conflicting messages coming from different branches of the Church, many Christians are confused to what the Bible really teaches. William Heth and Gordan Wenham explore the different schools of interpretation and present a fresh consideration of the various statements of Jesus and Paul, drawing on linguistic and contemporary cultural evidence. They closely criticize the view that allows remarriage after divorce on the grounds of immorality, widely held by evangelicals today. Instead the authors turn to the early Church, which permitted divorce but not remarriage. Written with clarity and careful consideration, Jesus and Divorce provides an important contribution to the ongoing debate on divorce. It offers a positive way forward, as the authors encourage us to apply the Bibles teachings to our lives and the lives of those around us.
Download or read book Remarriage is Adultery Unless written by David Pawson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consecutive polygamy (as many husbands or wives as you like but only one at a time) is now an accepted norm in contemporary society. Hardly surprising, since the social, legal, moral and financial restraints holding marriages together for a lifetime have been steadily eroded in a relativist age where anything goes. What is surprising is that divorce and remarriage are becoming as common inside the church as outside, even among Christian leaders and especially in the Evangelical stream. Believers have been outspoken about such issues as abortion and homosexuality though their Lord Jesus said nothing about either. He did say quite a lot about the subject of this book but there is either a reluctance to take his teaching at face value or an eagerness to enlarge his ‘exception’ until it becomes the rule. This volume primarily appeals to those for whom the Bible is the final authority in all matters of belief and behaviour, especially those who preach to, teach and counsel others. The author believes that the church should be leading the world uphill rather than following the world downhill. David Pawson has a worldwide teaching ministry, particularly for church leaders. He is known to many through Christian broadcasting and is the author of numerous books.
