That’s quite evident from the fact we have soooo many diverse interpretations of verses in the Bible that speak to the subject of divorce Posted : 8 Apr, 2025 11:31 AM How about this one— Matthew 19:9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Before somebody just jumps in there with their own half baked potato interpretation let’s try this first. Could someone please explain to us the first rule of literary or oral interpretation, or in this case, the first rule of biblical interpretation. Post Reply

That’s quite evident from the fact we have soooo many diverse interpretations of verses in the Bible that speak to the subject of divorce Posted : 8 Apr, 2025 11:48 AM I should offer a word of caution. There are MANY pitfalls that can and do occur within the art of linguistic interpretation. In fact, anyone can tell you about personal experiences of being misunderstood by someone. That’s because the person hearing the message might have misinterpreted what he heard. Post Reply

That’s quite evident from the fact we have soooo many diverse interpretations of verses in the Bible that speak to the subject of divorce Posted : 8 Apr, 2025 12:31 PM 💯💯 Excellent topic bro David here's my 🪙🪙 Matt. 19:9, “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Mark 10:11, And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.” Mark 10:12, “and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.” So, we can see that Jesus is saying that any sexual immorality breaks the covenant of marriage. Some people restrict their analysis to the two verses found in Mark 10:11-12 and ignore the exception given by Jesus in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9. When deciding on what a doctrinal position is, and we are to take all of the verses that relate to it, not just a few. So, in totality, in such cases where the marriage covenant has been broken by adultery, the offended spouse is free to remarry – because sexual immorality is the exception Post Reply

That’s quite evident from the fact we have soooo many diverse interpretations of verses in the Bible that speak to the subject of divorce Posted : 8 Apr, 2025 04:08 PM Thank you HC, at one point I was going to name some of the various interpretations some people hold and then identify some of the exegetical fallacies involved with interpretations that are in error. Haven’t decided yet Nevertheless: Some mistakes are formed early on when interpreters ignore the writers original intent For example, some fail to identify the original author’s purpose in writing. For example, was the original purpose of a passage written in answer to a specific question Some fail to grasp the historical significance of a passage. Others fail to comprehend the nuances inherent in the original languages. Some fail to understand “why” a passage was written. For example, was the passage written to address a general concern. I can go on but I’ll stop there for now Post Reply

I see things the same as what HC has written, but if you see things different then I'd like so see how and why you've come to your conclusion. Post Reply

That’s quite evident from the fact we have soooo many diverse interpretations of verses in the Bible that speak to the subject of divorce Posted : 8 Apr, 2025 06:17 PM There's one thing that gets tossed around by a lot people and that's the words sexual immorality. I honestly don't know where the line for sexual immorality is drawn. For many it would seem that just the mere attraction in ones head to anyone other than your spouse is sexual immorality, and maybe it is. But does that rise to the divorce level? If so then I see that as an impossible expectation of anybody. We are all just to weak to live up to that and keeping the marriage together is just to important to be torn apart because of some lust that never got physical. Post Reply

I’m having to work today. I thought I was retired but I might have to get a job so I can get some time off🥴 Yes, even though adultery is first committed in the mind before it plays itself out in the real world, it’s not the same as physical adultery in the legal sense Post Reply

Mark 7:20-23 ESV And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” Post Reply

But if we were to use the logic that we are guilty and must suffer the consequences for every evil thought we have then most if not all of us would be put to death in our early teens. But that's not how it works because most of us make until we die of old age. Since we defile ourselves it will likely effect our places in heaven but here on the earth do we destroy a marriage because a husband looks at naked picture of a woman or when a wife reads a saucy romance novel?
