Throwing People Away Because They are Inconvenient

Once again I have been blocked and rejected for telling the truth about divorce and remarriage. It is amazing to me that this topic is such a hot topic among "Christian."

If there is nothing wrong with divorce and remarriage then why do people become so angry over a higher standard for marriage.

I don't believe we had fewer problems in marriage 50 years ago. What we had was a resolve to remain married no matter what. We worked out problems over time because we knew there was no out for us. Today the young people are bailing out of marriage when it is the slightest uncomfortable, often for no other reason than they just want another partner.

Whatever happened to loving someone through the hard times. Whatever happened to praying and fasting for the reconciliation of a spouse who has gone wayward? The self esteem teaching has managed to make everyone less tolerant of hardships in order to work through them.

This culture shouts tolerance all over the place but it means nothing. They want it for themselves but don't want to endure for anyone else.

If someone said to me "it is better to buy a brand new car to avoid the problems with an old one, would that make anyone "angry?" No, there would be a calm discussion about it.

I suggest that people get angry when they are convicted of sin. They want to appear spiritual and righteous but are not willing to obey God.

No one gets angry at the suggestion that someone get off drugs or alcohol. No one gets angry at the suggestion that we should be more careful about the food we eat. Why then if divorce and remarriage is just as benign, they would be so angry at the suggestion that it is better not divorce and remarry?

Our culture to some degree knows that divorce and remarriage is sin or they would not become so hostile when we suggest that one should avoid it all together.

God was very clear about this sin that has run rampant in the culture. AND, that is not bad enough it has run rampant through the church. All those people who endorse the divorce and remarriage of their friends are endorsing and enabling sin against God.

All those leaders in the church who marry divorced people are endorsing and enabling sin in the body.

James 3:1 "1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly."

It truly is astonishing that people want to fight to defend a sin simply because a family member or friend might get their feelings hurt. Even worse is to fight to defend sin because we don't want to lose a friend or family member.

Who is more important to us, Christ or our companions.

Malachi 2:14
"Yet you say, 'For what reason?' Because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant."

The love of this age is shallow and hateful, based only on personal pleasure and a life without difficulties. Throwing people away because they are difficult is not God's way.

The lack of faith in Christ is what is demonstrated when a Christian fights to defend the throwing away of a person simply because they don't measure up.

The person who blocked me today for my stand on marriage has shown the same mentality of "throwing away" a friend for the sake of maintaining a love of sin. At least she is consistent.
