kbragg brought up some points in my falling out of love thread that made me think about this.
if the only grounds for divorce, per jesus himself is adultery (or abandonment), then if a wo/man says that god has told her to leave her child abuser husband/wife, or serial killer husband/wife, etc. is s/he wrong?
“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But 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,” (Matthew 5:31-32, ESV)
i ask this question because if the rationale is god tells people to do things are are against/contradict what's written in the bible, then it must not be god talking to you but satan or is that sinking feeling you have going on in your stomach just really bad gas?
although it may be necessary in some other situations for a spouse to separate from or divorce his or her mate, the bible requires him or her to remain unmarried until reconciled - which most people end up remarrying, becoming adulturers, per jesus.
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife (1 Corinthians 7:10-11).
what say you? if you pray on something and come to a conclusion that "seems to go against the bible" is it wrong/sinful?
i'll share my opinions later.

But didn't you see in another post? God actually told her to get divorced.
People say God told them to do a lot of things People say God told them to decapitate and drown their children The Bible says that the devil come as a wolf in sheep's clothing fronting as an Angel of light. Satan hates marriage and God HATES divorce. I may get a "feeling" God is telling me to do something but if it contradicts His Word than IMO it is not of Him. OP may get mad at me for saying that but God wrote it not me, take it up with Him
people leave abusive marriages all the time because they say god tells them to leave. however there is no grounds for divorce in the bible - per jesus himself (who spoke for his father) - but adultery. every single other reason is human based. so with that rational, then all men married to molesters must stay with them?? god really wants that? there are NO biblical verses to leave for abuse or other things such as molestation, etc.
and we make decisions everyday that are not commonly accepted (depending on which denomination you ask) as christian decisions. i mean catholics think birth control is wrong because god tells them so.
god tells me it's good and i'll always support bc.
