How does God view divorce?

Stevie Kizziar: He usually rules on the side of the woman and gives her all of the possesions and the kids.

Kandi Lough: Yes true there is right things in qraan as well in bible as well in Buddha as well in Hindu there is no religion book which is bad there a person who is bad and that doesn’t mean that other religions are not good we have to respect all regains in order other people respect ours

Lahoma Beadell: well, its kinda hard to ask him/her so i guess we'll never know.i imagine he/she just wants us to be happy.

Joie Kemmis: Wrong relig. They will go to hell.

Kenneth Queener: Mr. Knowitall, I don't know what exactly you mean by "affectation". But I don't see the other person and she doesn't see me, so if you think this is pretending you are wrong.

Terrell Voltz: The God of Western Religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) and the God of Eastern Religions (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism) - Abraham and Brahma sound similar when sai! d. And many rational thinkers/historians believe that once every human would have been praying a single God. So maybe, Abraham=Brahma, Any comments?

Thurman Buege: Has no one read Jeremiah 3?

Adam Momaya: The Bible speaks out specifically against divorce.A man shall leave his mother and father, and cleave to his wife, and they shall be as one.There are only rare circumstances that allow divorce.

Dick Maisenbacher: Most of the pheramones (correct sp?) are released from the top of your head. Subconsciously then, you tilt your head for your partner to get a better whiff of them, thus making you more attractive to her. Men are attracted to more women because women are shorter. What????

Clifford Riggleman: Divorce was not part of God's plan, read these verses from Matthew Chapter 19Matthew 19:3-9Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: "Should a man e allowed to divorce his wife for any reason?" "Haven't you read the scriptures?" J! esus replied. "They record that from the beginning 'God made t! hem male and female.' And he said,"This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.' Since they are no long two but one, let no one seperate them, for God has joined them together.""Then why did Moses say a man could merely write an official letter of divorce and send her away?"* they asked.Jesus replied, "Moses permitted divorce as a concession to your hard-hearted wickedness, but it was not what God had originally intended. And I tell you this, a man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery-unless his wife has been unfaithful.*"The bible gives only one reason for divorce, if your husband or wife has been unfaithful. If you divorce for any other reason, it is commiting adultery....Show more

Clifford Riggleman: Abraham was a man, ! one with failings. Brahma seems more of a deity.

Mack Ukich: Marriage is ordained of God..Children have the right to be reared within the bounds of holy matrimony..or in other words Children have a right to be taught and raised proper beliefs/morales in a correct happy family environment. with a father and a mother.. In a unfallen World this would be the case.Divorce only happens when one or both of the parties are being unfaithful to the covenants they have made one to another..we all know what God thinks of unfaithfulness and also of promise breakers or in other words liars..However this is a fallen world and bad things happen and we all muck up somewhat.. Sometimes they aren't our fault sometimes they are..If they are not our fault then perhaps it is out of our power.. If is our fault we can do all in our power to try to correct it even if we can not .this is true repentance..some of us mistakenly think that by doing something which is Evil in nature that somehow! we will end up with something which is Good in the End.. This is not t! he case nor can it ever be.. Good is Good.. Evil is Evil.. Good can not be Evil. and Evil can not be Good. it has to be one or the other....Show more

Everette Rovinsky: the bible is very clear regarding divorce. the bible really sets some very solid rules and gives examples of what is allowed and not allowed. adultery is the one thing which is cause for divorce. remarriage is a sin. anyone that marries a divorced person is committing adultery . my conclusion from it all and there is a great deal more about divorce and marriage in the holy bible is that divorce is allowed only when adultery toOK place. the rest of the time although the bible does not put it this way i think in modern times now that is that we would refer to what the bible is telling us is ok as legal separation with the understanding that sexual relations with anyone other then the spouse of the first marriage is adultery. so you can leave but there is not really a complete divorce so long as the! two people are both living....Show more

Coleman Senn: No Abraham was the daddy of the Hebrews and a follower of Jehovah, Brahma is a fictional persona created with the aid of Mohammad to help his selling Allah, who was one of the most Bedouin deities to the position of supreme god.

Brenton Cornwall: I once thought soo because of my religions class but YHWH is a God who is mentioned as a God of the Israelites ( house of Israel) and everyone is a gentile. YHWH is not a deity that takes too kindly to worship of idols nor wants a idle in a image of anything in the heavens or on earth made to represent a deity. He has orders like don't eat food sacraficed to idols and many others that are like supper strict that makes this deity different than any other in the world. If your talking about the attributes of God then that's one thing they have the same because man adds attributes to God like human emotions. Other than that they are total opposites.Plus as it is written I am YHWH and besides me is no savior or no other like him....Show more

Abraham Ladick: Most people will tilt their heads slightly while listening. Are you sure you don't do with with everyone? (Not just those you love.! )Maybe you listen more intently to people you love than people you don't, and therefore your head has a more pronounced tilt.;-)

Giovanni Malool: Flavius Josephus, who lived until 98 A.D., was a romanized Jewish historian. He wrote books on Jewish history for the Roman people. In his book, Jewish Antiquities, he made references to Jesus. In one reference he wrote:About this time arose Jesus, a wise man, who did good deeds and whose virtues were recognized. And many Jews and people of other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. However, those who became his disciples preached his doctrine. They related that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive. Perhaps he was the Messiah in connection with whom the prophets foretold wonders. [Josephus, Jewish Antiquities, XVIII 3.2]Pliny the Younger, proconsul in Asia Minor, in 111 A.D. wrote to Emperor Trajan in a letter:...it was their habit on a fixed! day to assemble before daylight and recite by turns a form of words to! Christ as a god; and that they bound themselves with an oath, not for any crime, but not to commit theft or robbery, or adultery, not to break their word, and not to deny a deposit when demanded. After this was done, their custom was to depart, and meet again to take food...Roman historian, Tacitus, who is respected by modern scholars for historical accuracy, wrote in 115 A.D. about Christ and His Church:The author of the denomination was Christ[us] who had been executed in Tiberius time by the Procurator Pontius Pilate. The pestilent superstition, checked for a while, burst out again, not only throughout Judea...but throughout the city of Rome also... Other secular witnesses to the historical Jesus include Suetonius in his biography of Claudius, Phlegan recording the eclipse of the sun during Jesus' death and even Celsus, a pagan philosopher. It must be kept in mind that most of these sources were not only secular but anti-Christian. These secular authors, including the J! ewish writers, had no desire or intention to promote Christianity. They had no motivation to distort their reports in favor of Christianity. Pliny actually punished Christians for their faith. If Jesus were a myth or His execution a hoax, Tacitus would have reported it as such. He certainly would not have connected Jesus' execution to Roman leaders. These writers presented Jesus as a real historical person. Denying the reliability of these sources in connection to Jesus would cast serious suspicion on the rest of ancient history.Now these ancient secular writings do not prove that Jesus is the Son of God or even the Christ, but that is not the goal of this tract. These reports show that a virtuous person named Jesus did live in the early first century A.D. and authored a religious movement (which still exists today). This Person was at least called Christ - the Messiah. Christians in the first century also appeared to consider Him God. Finally these writings support other f! acts found in the Bible surrounding His life. The claim that Jesus neve! r existed and His life is a myth compromises the reliability of ancient history.

Denna Prudente: There are parts of the bible that say a man can only divorce by adultery and a woman can only divorce by battery. I personally feel in this day and age that divorce is more of a financial tool than an escape from danger. The best way to avoid divorce is to use your head and your heart before your bed and your wallet.

Matt Gerdeman: Just your body language hon... we all have our little mannerisms that mark us as who we are when dealing with loved ones. Some come from what was modeled to us by our care givers as children and some come from deep inside ourselves. Just be who you are.... we all should do that...

Nelly Kikuchi: God views this the same as any other sin. Remember he views all sin the same, be it lying on a resume, stealing, or killing someone, it is all the same in his view. God says plainly that except for a very few reasons (marital unfaithfuln! ess and and unbeliever leaving the relationship), he does not look favorably upon it.

Lucille Saetteurn: You realize you are embarrassing Intelligent Muslims with this don't you? All of this Scientific propaganda has been disproved and is an insult to our (as well as your own) intelligence.The problem with IslamIs Muhammad a prophet of God and his Qu'ran the word of God?According to the Qu'ran Muhammad is a prophet of God and meets with the angel Gabriel and receives re! velation from him. The god Allah is supposed to be the God of Abraham.C! an any of this be true?The God of Abraham has directed his people to test a spirit and a prophet of God to be sure they were not false prophets.Did Muhammad test this spirit to be sure it was from God? According to the Qu'ran Muhammad was instructed by Gabriel that if he had any doubts about this revelation he should speak with those who read previous scriptures.This would surely mean that the scriptures from God agree with the Qu'ran at this time of Muhammad.The Bible says they absolutely have to be in agreement with the word of God and the previous prophets of God.Now let's see what Muhammad would have found had he did as instructed both by God and by this unproved spirit.Deut.13: 1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words o! f that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. A prophet of God must be in agreement with the words of the prophets and the known word of God.1John 2: 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that ! confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: an! d this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No ! man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. Anyone who claims to be a prophet of God must agree Jesus is the Christ the Son of God who is our Savior.2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichristGal. 1: 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. If an angel or a man preach a different gospel he is not of God.We can see here that the supposed imposter spirit Gabriel contrary to what he siad was not a spirit from God and the revelation he ! was sharing was not in agreement with the word of God.We can also see b! y these scriptures Muhammad was not in agreement with the previous word of God nor the prophets and could not be a prophet of God.Should I continue?What would be Islam's answer to such a glaring problem?You and I both know the answer to this question.Islam contradicts the Qu'ran and calls the word of God corrupt.If this were true and it is impossible you have a myriad of problems.1) How to test a prophet or a spirit with corrupt scriptures.Not only Muhamamd could be a prophet but so could anyone in the world simply write yourself a book and call the word of God garbage.2)The Qu'ran itself says the word of God can't be changed and that the Qu'ran is a continuation of these previous scriptures and advises Muhammad to check with those who read previous scriptures.Muhamamd even according to the Qu'ran could not be a prophet of God nor the Qu'ran the word of God.3) Could Allah be the God of Abraham as he claims?Is Allah in agreement with the righteousness of God?From the beginni! ng of the Torah, God warns Adam to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil or he will surely die.Satan, called the serpent, lies and tells Eve you will not surely die.God does not weigh sin. The wages of sin is death from the beginning of the word of God to the end of his written word.God could not change his mind and agree with Satan.It is the reason man needs Jesus and the reason the Son became flesh.What was the first lie Satan gave to man? You will not surely die. God is not a righteous God and you can make another deal My Muslim friend Satan is again telling the original lie.Sin does equal death there are no lessers sins and God does not weigh sin and you can't earn salvation.Salvation is a free gift no man can require it from God.God is a righteous God and he will not be joined to sin.God has provided a way for his people to be rejoined to him for eternal life and this is through the Son who became flesh.The Son became flesh because sin does equal death.Look aro! und you my friend all men sin and all men die.The Son came to the world! to overcome temptation as a man under law.Jesus remained perfect even the Qu'ran says he is perfect.Overcoming temptation, sin and death for all who accept the atonement he provides them.Should I continue?Thus far it should be obvious.1) Muhamamd could not be a prophet of God2) Allah could not be the righteous God of Abraham.3) The Qu'ran could not be the true word of God....Show more

Toby Caswell: However it was not part of his plan as the case of Adam and Eve where "the two shall become one flesh." But many of God's faithful servants, including Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had more then one wife, including concubines. King Solomon, had 700 wives and 300 concubines, in violation of Deuteronomy 17:17. (1 Kings 11:1-3; Gen 2:22-24Despite these actions, that God allowed to occur, the prophet Malachi wrote, "You people must guard yourselves respecting your spirit, and with the wife of your youth may no one deal treacherously. For God has hated a divorcing, the God of Israel says." Notice that the type of divorce God hated was not a case of mutual agreement between the two parties, but the type of divorce that dealt treacherously with the wife (or either spouse). (Malachi 2:15,16)With the arrival of the Christ, Jesu! s clarified God's view on divorce. In his famous sermon on the mount, J! esus stated, "It was said, Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce. (written in Deu 24:1) However, I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her a subject for adultery and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery." (Matt 5: 31-32)When further asked why God permitted divorce in times past, Jesus answered, "Did you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife and the two will be one flesh? So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart. The Pharisees then said to him: Why, then did Moses prescribe giving a certificate of dismissal and divorcing her? Jesus then said, Moses, out of regard for your hardheartedness, made the concession to you of divorcing your wives, but such has not been the case from the begin! ning. I say to you that whoever divorces his wife except on the ground of fornication (physical and spiritual extramarital intercourse), and marries another, commits adultery."...Show more

The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts o! f men from the love of the world and its vanities and will lead them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in Paradise.9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.10. The ! faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in H! eaven.11.. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only Son, Jesus Christ.15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination....Show more

Weldon Totaro: 1) "Islam" means "peace through the submission to God". 2) "Muslim" means "anyone or anything that submits itself to the will of God". 3) Islam is not a cult. Its followers number over 1.85 billion worldwide. Along with Judaism and Christianity, it is considered to be one of the three Abrahamic traditions. 4) There are five pillars of practice in Islam. These practices must be undertaken with the best of effort in order to be considered a true Muslim: A) Shahadah - declaration of faith in the oneness of God and that Muhammad is the last prophet of God. B) Formal prayer five times a day. C) Fasting during the daylight hours in the month of Ramadan. D) Poor-due "tax" - 2.5%of one's savings given to the needy at the end of each year. E) Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once, if physically and financially able. 5) There are six articles of faith in Islam. These are t! he basic beliefs that one must have in order to be considered a true Muslim. They are belief in: A) the One God. B) all the prophets of God. C) the original scriptures revealed to Prophets Moses, David, Jesus, and Muhammad. D) the angels. E) the Day of Judgment and the Hereafter. F) the divine decree (or destiny). 6) Islam is a complete way of life that governs all facets of life: moral, spiritual, social, political, economical, intellectual, etc. 7) Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. To become Muslim, a person of any race or culture must say a simple statement, the shahadah, that bears witness to the belief in the One God and that Prophet Muhammad was the last prophet of God.8) "Allah" is an Arabic word that means "God". Muslims also believe that "Allah" is the personal name of God. 9) Allah is not the God of Muslims only. He is the God of all people and all creation. Just because people refer to God using different terms does not mean that they ! are different gods. Spanish people refer to God as "Dios" and French pe! ople refer to God as "Dieu", yet they are all the same God. Interestingly, most Arab Jews and Arab Christians refer to God as "Allah". And the word Allah in Arabic appears on the walls of many Arab churches.10) The Islamic concept of God is that He is loving, merciful, and compassionate. But Islam also teaches that He is just and swift in punishment. Nevertheless, Allah once said to Prophet Muhammad, "My mercy prevails over my wrath." Islam teaches a balance between fear and hope, protecting one from both complacency and despair.11) Muslims believe that God has revealed 99 of His names (or attributes) in the Holy Qur'an. It is through these names that one can come to know the Creator. A few of these names are: the All-Merciful, the All-Knower, the Protector, the Provider, the Near, the First, the Last, the Hidden, and the Source of Peace. 12) Muslims believe in and acknowledge all the prophets of old, from Adam to Jesus. Muslims believe that they brought the message of peac! e and submission (islam) to different peoples at different times. Muslims also believe that these prophets were "muslims" because they submitted their wills to God. 13) Muslims neither worship Muhammad nor pray through him. Muslims solely worship the unseen and Omniscient Creator, Allah. 14) Muslims accept the original unaltered Torah (the Gospel of Moses) and the original Bible (the Gospel of Jesus) since they were revealed by God. However, none of those original scriptures are in existence today, in their entirety. Therefore, Muslims follow the subsequent, final, and preserved revelation of God, the Holy Qur'an. 15) The Holy Qur'an was not authored by Muhammad. It was authored by God, revealed to Muhammad, and written into physical form by his companions. 16) The Holy Qur'an has no flaws or contradictions. The original Arabic scriptures have never been changed or tampered with. 17) Actual seventh century Qur'ans, complete and intact, are on display in museums in Turkey an! d many other places around the world. 18) If all Qur'ans in the world t! oday were burned and destroyed, the original Arabic would still remain. This is because millions of Muslims, called Hafiz (or "preservers") have memorized the text letter for letter from beginning to end, every word and syllable. Also, chapters from the Qur'an are precisely recited from memory by every Muslim in each of the five daily prayers. 19) Muslims do not believe in the concept of "vicarious atonement" but rather believe in the law of personal responsibility. Islam teaches that each person is responsible for his or her own actions. On the Day of Judgment Muslims believe that every person will be resurrected and will have to answer to God for their every word, thought, and deed. Consequently, a practicing Muslim is always striving to be righteous.20) Islam was not spread by the sword. It was spread by the word (Islamic teachings) and the example of its followers. Islam teaches that there is no compulsion i

Sharie Sommerville: Alison, does you answer get to the p! oint? only you know how to critisize.

Madlyn Fallis: In Jeremiah 3, God divorces Israel for unfaithfulness. So, with that in mind, Is it okay for God to divorce and man not too?

Erin Arron: cwstuffff, ah ok Macho man.

Leann Villalta: Unfortunately, I can't respect a faith that says to kill those with belief systems that are contrary to it. I also can't believe that Islam is thousands of years old...the only Judeao Christian religion that's thousands of years old is Judaism. Sorry for the insult but you know that Islam only came into existence in approx 600AD and Judaism came about over 3k years ago and counting. There is no proof of anything in the Holy Koran just as there's no proof of anything in the NT...Only the OT has proof as it was written as the history of a people and can be borne out by archeology...What if anything in the Koran and NT have been proven? I am sorry I totally disagree with you respecting proof. Allah (Peace be upon him) be ! Praised!

Charissa Bichsel: First of all, no matter what view one ! takes in the issue of divorce it is important to remember the words of the Bible from Malachi 2:16a: “I hate divorce, says the Lord God of Israel.” According to the Bible, God’s plan is that marriage be a lifetime commitment. “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Matthew 19:6). God realizes, though, that since a marriage involves two sinful human beings, divorce is going to occur. In the Old Testament, He laid down some laws in order to protect the rights of divorcees, especially women (Deuteronomy 24:1-4). Jesus pointed out that these laws were given because of the hardness of people’s hearts, not because they were God’s desire (Matthew 19:8)....Show more

Jimmie Doerfler: I guess its not the right thing to do... but what if the women or man goes thru abuse day-in and day out? I beileve that if two people are meant to be... then god will keep them togetheras every-being deserves a second chanc! e in life!

Sheron Perrez: I have no control over it. Does it happen to you also? is this a normal reaction?
