Is There HELP Out There for People Such As I?

Yes, My LORD and My GOD is My Help. Psalms 121

♥♪· All For Me ♥♪ (exerpt)

"For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man" (Rom. 7:2,3).

"A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord" (1 Cor. 7:39).

Now here are some exerpts from that Website I had mentioned before. The one that taught that asking forgiveness for a divorce is one thing, but that does not nullify the 'wedding' as well.

2) You mentioned getting forgiven for "divorcing our spouses." Please know that there is no such thing in Scripture as getting forgiven from the sin of divorce! This subtle twisting of the Word regarding getting forgiven over the sin of "divorce" has led some to go through with it, then remarry, hence committing adultery themselves and causing their new "spouse" to become guilty of the same sin. Without a doubt, in many cases, "remarriage" is the world's term for what the Lord taught is adultery. It would be adultery in God's eyes because it is an unrecognized marriage as far as He is concerned.

(4) Whose wife was Herodias? Please consider the following passage from Mk. 6:17, 18:

"For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married. For John had been saying to Herod, 'It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.'"

NOTE: Even though Herod had "married" Herodias, she is still considered "Philip's wife." That is why John said it was not lawful for him to have his brother's wife. In other words, adultery was being committed by both Herodias and Herod.

(7) A wayward wife is called the adulteress:

"It[wisdom] will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words, whohas left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead. None who go to her return or attain the paths of life. Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous. For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it" (Prov. 2:16-22).

COMMENT: Please note, the adulteress in the above passage is really a divorcee, for she left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Marriage is a covenant between two people and God. Also, a "wayward wife" is called elsewhere in Scripture an immoral person, a prostitute and an adulteress:

"For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life, keeping you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife. Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life" (Prov. 6:23-26).

This life is a test (Jam. 1:12; Rev. 2:10,11; 3:10). The stakes are eternal. Only the minority will pass the test and enter through the narrow gate that leads to life (Matt. 7:13,14). The vast majority of people will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:15; 21:8). Don't get yourself snared by an illegitimate marriage that may bring much temporal pleasure and comfort now, but reap an eternal torment in fire and great regret over such later:

"What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" (Mk 8:36).

Again, it is NOT always God's will to remarry, as 1 Cor. 7:11 clearly states. Ponder the apostle's teaching on this, under grace, if you are thinking about doing such:

"But and if she depart, LET HER REMAIN UNMARRIED, orbe reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife" (1 Cor. 7:11).

Stay in the Bible and go by its counsel. Live in the fear of God. Think beyond the grave and ponder your own judgment before God. No person, regardless how much you may be drawn tohim or her, is worth going to eternal punishment over.

if it is not TRULY repented of (which includes TURNING AWAY from it!)

How can GOD forgive a sin that HASN'T been repented of?

If
one is committing sin, let's say, a liar
they repent (say I am sorry I lie...forgive me, and clean me from this sin)
GOD forgives them and washes lying away.
Now the person is forgiven, is clean from lying, and has the POWER not to lie again.

If that person stops lying and does not lie again....all is well. He is forgiven and his old sins are gone.

If that person decides to KEEP On lying, then his repentance was INSINCERE. ...or he has messed up and needs to ask GOD for HIS mercy and grace AGAIN!

If that person decides to keep on lying and lying and lying and lying....and NEVER uses his GOD given POWER to stop lying, then he IS A LIAR and has not overcome the sin, but has become the servant of sin. Also he has sown to his flesh (done what his flesh wanted to do) and of his flesh he shall reap corruption (he will die).

and his fate is revealed in GOD's HOLY WORD:
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

To look at ALL Scriptures in no wise means you are do DISREGARD another scripture.

Scripture NEVER Contradicts itself.

JESUS said, "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." Luke 16:18

CONTRARY to popular belief, JESUS NEVER said otherwise.

"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" Matthew 19:9

Here (Matt 19:9) JESUS teaches the husband who divorces his wife for her unfaithfulness is not the CAUSE OF her becoming an adulteress.

No matter a million people's voices to the contrary
ONLY JESUS' voice matters to me.
For I WILL NOT have HIM say to me one day, "Why call ye me, LORD, LORD, and do not the things I say?"

~~~~I love. you, Sis
GOD bless you

Cammie, like I said in a previous comment, do go and talk with someone about this. You are obviously very affected by this and I don't want to see you getting so down on yourself when the Lord does love you.
