Does anyone know what is or what are the rationales offered by Protestant denominations for allowing divorce if traditional, orthodox Christianity in the West never allowed it? Is it a side-effect of downplaying or denying the sacramental nature of marriage?
I ask in order to understand, not to lecture or moralize.
As near as I can tell from what I have studied and been through with protestants with divource, none of them have the Scripture correctly interpreted.
Protestants, want a winner in the situation, so by and large most protestants interpret the scripture the person not in Adultery no matter what doesn’t committ adultery when they remary, which is directly opposite of what the scripture says.
But since they are, as protestants under no obligation to correctly interpret the Scripture, by Scriptura Solara, or Fidei, they just figure it out how it works for them and go with that way.
Protestants want to take the none-offending person and turn them into blameless, completely forgetting that adultery is still part of the curse of man at Genesis, when Jesus says if either party remarry they are committing adultery, that is what he meant. However what exactly that makes second marriage adultery is not explicitly stated in Scripture either Douai-Rheims or KJV, When God spoke LET THEM BE ONE FLESH, and LET NO MAN SPLIT IT ASUNDER, that is exactly what Sets up For Christs sermons he gave.
In point of Fact Christs Spoken word on marriage and remarriage moves the state of Marriage back pre Deutoronomy, but that is not explicitly evident from a general reading of the Bible either. You have to sit there and peice it all back together Gospels to Duetronomy to Genesis, it will fit together but not many persons take the time to do that.
Christ is Completely Consistent with GOD’s Spoken Word IN Deutronomy to Moses, who said, “but… But from the Beginning it was not so.” and God’s Spoken Word in Genesis, at man’s fall, “Let them be ONE FLESH.”
so a Man and women will divource and remarry and they will be both in Adultery at this point, but neither of them have sufficient understanding of Scripture to understand that they are in Adultery This is where you will find the inherent weakness in protestantism, especially in this matter as compared to Roman Catholicism. Here with Roman Catholicism, both Scripture and Doctrine in the light of Scripture are rigorously enforced, and Doctrin and the Catechism state, That for absolution to be granted to persons in Adultery they must stop the Adultery… In protestantism which generally have little to no
actual Doctrine, they have no way of enforcing correct interpretation of the scriptures so the problem goes completely either without correction or … The Problem is that persons who are protestant generally do not know they are in adultery and the solution is that people who are protestant generally have no idea they are in adultery, their ignorance is what is protecting them in those cases, because the Spirit refuses to operate where their is ignorance of the LAW. They can read, “they are in Adultery” but most can’t figure out how or why they can only be married one time. So they read the scripture the first time and all that occurrs to them is “WHY?” that is the some total of their response to the Scripture… And they will keep reading the scripture and they will keep saying “Why??” at that spot in Scripture… And they are so CUTEE!!! , But they are in terrible contradiction to the word… So I don’t know… We will have to pray for those persons; and here now is the
other part of the word.
Lets say for the sake of argument that protestant church’s function exactly as designed, and justification is automatic by Christs Passion, then there person will literally stay in their second marriages for upteen 20-30 years and will by scripture be in adultery the whole time, and they will be if they are not ignorant of the scripture , be being assigned a Hell Sentence for their actions, and they will never have any idea that their is a punitive measure to their actions as Justification in protestant church’s is automatically given so the person never spends any time in guilt to know they are transgressing the word of the Lord… You can destroy the whole protestant church with Marriage Scripture, you can undermine all of it using the flaws it allows to go on in its environs…
So what to do?? Nothing… because for those persons being married to their original spouse is just as damning(while alive) in their eyes as adultery itself… So I don’t know what
is going to happen to those persons, I have a whole group of those persons that I pray for, but, I don’t know what is going to happen to them.
But most protestant church’s are derived from HENRY VIII’s Church and we all know why that came into being, ADUTLERY!! SO???
The Roman Catholic Church is the only Church on the planet that has everything correct, So???
hoping for Forgiveness because Jesus forgave the Woman at the well, and she had been married 5 times, and the man that she was with was not her husband, meaning he was not her husband and that she wasn’t currently married. So the head of the Protestant Church is Elizebeth Taylor, because she’s worth it…
But I don’t know what Jesus is going to do, because on the other hand, ALL SOCIETAL ILLS CAN BE TRACED TO BROKEN FAMILY’S AND HOMES SOMEWHERE. Theft, Robbery, Drugs, Drug dealing, murders associated to those things, etc, can all be traced to Adultery and the Broken Home?? So are those persons going to be held blameless??
Adultery and Re-marriage will be the number one cause of the collapse of western civilization in the end, I can almost promise you at the root of the problem you will find Adultery and Fornication outside of Holy Matrimony. that is the driver for 80%+ of all things
destroying society.
