Can A True Follower Of Christ Divorce Someone Or Marry Someone Who Is Divorced, Aside From Adultery?
Posted on | November 6, 2009 |
Supposedly, 80% of Americans are Christians and the divorce rate is about 51%. The Bible also says that anyone who obtains a divorce and marries another is an adulterer. A majority of divorces are a result of irreconcilable differences, not adultery, which implies that Christians may be practicing a selective morality. How many Christians are working on a second, third or fourth marriage? Do most even take their wedding vows seriously? Unless, of course, two people of the same sex want to marry. It then becomes a VERY serious matter.

God dosnt want couples to get divorced.and Christians are suppose to be following his word on that, how ever people sin and it happens, but we are all suppose to aim to live the most sin free lives we can..

Supposedly means that the statistics are skewed. For one thing, if you add up all the marriages in the US and add up all the divorces in the US every year, then you do not get an accurate number. Like you say, some people are on their 2nd, 3rd and 4th marriage. Then you compare it to how many are Christians and you don’t get a good average.
Btw, I’m in my one and only marriage … we’ve been together since 1989. Wow, just realized that’s 20 years this April, woohooo! lol
People should take more time in deciding marriage, it’s a lifetime commitment.

You are so right, sad isn’t it. Can’t say 80% are true believers though, we just happen to be a nation where the majority seems to believe in God or a higher power.

Christ was never married and wasn’t very pro family, having denied his own mother and brothers and sisters in Matthew 12:46-50.
So I assume anyone that marries isn’t very Christ like.

Two options. Either you think that:
a) All Christians are perfect and do not sin.
b) All Christians are not perfect.
(BTW, choice A contradicts the Bible)

Since when has any Christian been a true follower of Christ?

No, and if you do Jesus will roast you like a weenie.
