Why should we believe what you say specifically is the word of God?
In many assorted forms of religion, people are taught that divorce is a grave sin because you have made vows to God which you are now rescinding. Religion also shows that adultery is a major sin as per the 8th commandment which is punishable by death.
You now tell us that you speak on behalf of God in your interpretation of his word? That's blasphemy and again punishable by death according to the bible.
So who should one believe in matters of theology?
The answer is no one, as ethics and morals are all present within our makeup, and humanity comes from evolution and education, and not what a million different people who think they know what a God wants and who themselves are just selfishly spinning an existing religious view to suit their own circumstances and needs.
Be peaceful, compassionate, empathic and respectful....that's the whole remit to create a happy, harmonious existence in just 4 words.
Now let's rip up and recycle all religious book, hand religious buildings over to communities to be used as community centres and homeless shelters and distribute the trillions of dollars in cash that religious organisations hold to alleviate hunger and poverty and all get on with living good and caring lives.

Adultery was only punishable by death under Old Testament law. It hasn't been the law for the last 2,000 years.

No, it's not blasphemy to interpret the word of God and explain it to others. If there's any blasphemy it's on your part.

On matters of theology you should believe the Bible as properly translated and interpreted. It's pretty easy to understand hermeneutics. You have to look at who's talking, who they're talking to, and whether that applies to Christians today.

Evolution is a the biggest joke in the history of mankind. We're supposed to believe that every form of life is a complete accident. That somehow, a single celled organism just appeared. Despite the fact that it's more complicated than any machine ever made by mankind. A single celled creature is both hardware and software. Try telling me how software evolves. Try taking your Windows 10 computer. Do a complete backup and then restore it. Back it up again. Keep doing it until you have the next version of Windows.
Next, tell me how a single celled organism becomes a trillion celled organism. Pardon me for smirking while you try to tell fairy tales like that.

You hate Christianity. Why is that? How can you hate God yet deny he exists? You don't hate Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, do you?

By who ? Islam? Christianity? Judaeism?

Adultery was only punishable by death under Old Testament law. It hasn't been the law for the last 2,000 years.

It still happens today in tribal areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and try studying Sharia law in Saudia Arabia. Even in places like the Philippines which is the most Christian country on earth, divorce doesnt actually exist!

As opposed to seriously believing it was created by a god? who was in turn created by?...............

Lol...I abhor all religion, not just christianity...and you're using Santa and the Easter Bunny, neither of which have anything to do with religion at all as an argument?

Couple of points. I can't be accused of blasphemy as I don't believe in any god, and secondly, single celled organisms...such as when a human baby is concieved, become multi celled organisms...such as a developing human, by cell division.....Unlike you, I won't smirk as your aggressive tone and absolute ignorance make me sad. How can anyone be so hateful towards someone who suggested following peace, compassion, empathy and respect ? ahhh yes, a religious person coulc.

Seriously, is this someone simply trolling me or was it a serious response to my genuine comment?

This conversation is even better now I've had to replace the original plagiarized guest post with new title and content ... Meet Fela: Afrobeat Originator and Polygomous Pimp Daddy. It is quite possible he was the second coming of Black Jesus.

lol, Ok mate :-) even Jesus isn't above a bit of cut and paste it seems lol

Fantastic work with this one, kudos

My take from your post is trust your choice And Gods Will. He has your back.
This seems right and also a practical way to live. Happiness is more a state of mind. Trust in God lends unbelievable strength to make someone happy

You're not free to remarry just because you think your marriage isn't working out.

(Matthew 5:31-32 NIV) "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' {32} But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

If your spouse divorces you and marries another you're free to remarry.

You also said,

"This means that there's a very high chance (up to 100%, believe it or not) that right now you're dating, engaged or married to someone else's spouse or someone that is meant to be dead or celibate to balance out the choice their unknown other made."

It's ridiculous to think that maybe someone else was "meant" to marry your spouse so your relationship is a "mistake". Most people would be compatible with a number of other people. That's why over 90% of people marry or they used to marry.

I've been married to the love of my life twice. My first wife and I were very close. She died from kidney disease when she was 30. I remarried two years later to the new love of my life. We've been married for 24 years now. My two wives are very different women yet I can have a great relationship with one then the other.

Great post

This is a great debate... Let me post the real meaning about marriage according to the Bible. And let me copy your article to determine which is right.
