Marriage
« on: November 10, 2020, 04:49:38 PM »
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.[b[/b]

Josh, if you have a point, you need to make your point. You are posting Scripture to an audience of Christians who study the Scriptures regularly, and on top of that, I just finished doing a full-length teaching on this very subject in which I covered these verses in detail. So, what is your point?
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
-Psa 34:18

I thought it explains itself. What commentary could I say that explains it better than what has already been written?
I apologize for making it easy to misunderstand my inspiration.

I think that answer only supports my initial suspicions... you're trying to hide something from us. I have seen this type of thing from other people before, but in your particular case, your answer was absurd.

Your post said "Marriage." You put down scriptures concerning marriage. When asked for why you are posting this, or in other words, what the point of posting it was, you simply said "I thought it explains itself." I did not ask for what the interpretation of the Scripture was because I already intimately familiar with it, but rather, I asked for what YOUR purpose was, which you failed to even attempt to explain.

Then, without any effort to simply explain your point in posting this, you "apologize" (which I don't really believe) for making it easy to misunderstand your inspiration. Let me try to give an analogy to help explain the absurdity of that statement.

Let's imagine for a moment that your wife was out with the children, and on your own, you had studied up on how to prepare an complex exotic dish, let's say Risotto Scampi e Limone (which is Risotto with Lemon and Prawns), piping hot and ready when she and the children get home. She then asks, "Wow, what's the occasion?" (or, what is the point of this?) To which you respond, "I thought the dish explains itself. What commentary could I give that explains what I have already cooked? I apologize for making it easy to misunderstand my inspiration."

I guarantee Heather would look at you with a dumbfounded expression because you did not answer her question, which is a systematic habit of yours as I am beginning to see. Again, I believe your responses to us are covering for something you do not want us to see, and I don't know what it is yet, but I will patient because, as God has always done, He will show me in due time if you keep talking.
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
-Psa 34:18

Forgive me for the confusion I have caused.
I had no idea you had that much to say on this topic.
So as a repentant man I am going through your lessons on this scripture. If anything else needs addressed I will post it afterwards if you don't mind?

Josh, I have to admit that when I saw your post, my reaction was the same as Chris': What's your point? Normally, when people post scriptures here, they do so to start a discussion or to tell us how a particular scripture relates to them or their lives; what they've learned from it. Starting a thread with JUST scripture and no explanation is like something coming completely out of left field; like walking into the middle of a conversation and having no idea what's going on.

The emphasis on this whole passage is about love.
Just like your analysis, if the husband has to say it was all because he loves you, then a sad thing this is.
No special occasion needs me to cook a nice meal, a nice meal is because it is good for my family. I enjoyed making it for those I love.
