It has been on my heart to attempt to connect the very character of God with His part in the marriage covenant. The marriage covenant is really not for the couple, even though it benefits them both. The marriage covenant is a picture of the character of Christ and ultimately glorifies Him. When we stop looking at the consequences, which are devastating and begin pondering the matter of glorifying God, we can see His purpose and character in the marriage bond. In other words we get to know God. There is more involved here than just obeying God or rules, but it goes to the very nature and essence of God Himself.
We do not seek to be an irritant and really wish we were not, but when we obey Christ, those who hate Him will call us that. My mission is to encourage believers to seek the Lord for every thing He wants us to know. I asked Him years ago, to show me only truth, that I might not believe anything that is not truth, and that when He showed me, I would burn my spiritual idols. One by one He is doing that, I can never go backward to the old thinking and popular ways.
OK so a Christian wife divorces her husband and refuses to reconcile preferring to remain single. That is Biblical is it not ? Meanwhile husband who did not want divorce but was refused reconciliation also remains single out of respect for his covenant ! So this scenario could persist until the death of one or the other, so why is the wife given the option to remain single after divorce if God wants reconciliation ? The Bible says does it not 'remain single or be reconciled'
Food for thought....It CLEARLY says REMAIN SINGLE or BE RECONCILED and most Christians are afraid to speak it. WHY?
Whats your take on it?
