Re: A Mennonite view of divorce and remarriage
From a Biblical standpoint it's possible to have five husbands, and presumably possible to be divorced by some or all of them.

Re: Early Anabaptist writers on Divorce and Remarriage
Something interesting to me is that modern conservative Anabaptists aren't interested in the historic Anabaptist views on these things at all.

Re: A Mennonite view of divorce and remarriage
I guess we are just basing off of things we have seen then? And if that is the case: The simple fact is, I never see any good fruit from remarriages. Do you think I'm a piece of bad fruit, then? Do you think my ex wife is a piece of bad fruit? Because her dad was previously married too. Maybe that'...

Re: A Mennonite view of divorce and remarriage
One of the most offensive things I have witnessed is a man who seems to feel at liberty to have affairs, and whose wife eventually left him (but no divorce and definitely no remarriage - ever), who then expects her to reconcile with him. And since she won't file for divorce nor remarry she barely ev...

Re: Credible News Sources: The Russian Hacking Story
If we investigate how Russia might have influenced our elections, should we start investigating how the USA tries to influence everyone else's elections around the globe?

Re: A Mennonite view of divorce and remarriage
I don't see in scripture any idea of Christ being unfaithful to leaving His bride. God talks quite a bit about divorcing Israel for her chronic unfaithfulness to him, and in any case the wedding supper of the lamb is described as a future event; I don't see in scripture that Jesus and the church ar...

Re: A Mennonite view of divorce and remarriage
I just want to make it clear that no church I know of considers it encouraging divorce in the Biblical sense when they would suggest a second marriage be dissolved since they do not recognize that second marriage as legitimate before God in the first place. But again I do not expect you to understa...

Re: A Mennonite view of divorce and remarriage
Could you elaborate on what that means?Wade wrote:I don't know if I will ever be able to relate remarriage after divorce to holy living when I consider that we are to imitate Christ in faithfulness and purity.

Re: A Mennonite view of divorce and remarriage
However the fact remains that almost any modern church that has accepted your view is only a generation from experiencing divorce and remarriage at nearly the same level as society around them. Your position may be right. But this particular observation isn't really a valid point, is it? The end do...

Re: Evidence only.
i appreciate how CM's put as high regard on chastity of males as females. Indeed, although I fear we are starting to lose this. The unchastity of the world around us is seeping in and is becoming a major problem, even for young boys in their early teens. Eventually, we are going to have to get seri...
