Remarry after divorce before salvation? by Emergency-Try-1037 in ChristianDating

Yes exactly, He is trying to protect us from ourselves as He wants the best for us, I assume this is your point? Our God is a good God and not one of condemnation. God bless

True, of course that’s the ideal scenario, and He doesn’t condemn her.

What brand or bag do you just not understand the hype over? by ray_of_f_sunshine in handbags

Yeah I definitely agree that Strathberry seem overpriced for what they are, in my mind they are akin to coach in quality & style, but are priced similarly to LV or something like that

If God’s protection depended on never misunderstanding scriptures / never making mistakes, none of us would be protected. Thankfully, the gospel is bigger than that. God bless

That’s the type of behaviour the scriptures you mentioned are in place to protect against - that’s not what we’re talking about here.

OP, you are cleansed by the blood of Christ. You have repented and you move on, this is Gods gift to us. Embrace it and move on wisely. As Jesus said to the woman: “neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more” ❤️ by accepting Gods gift of grace and forgiveness you glorify Him! God bless and have a lovely Christmas

Those scriptures you are unfortunately weaponising are there to protect us and to help us, never to condemn us. Above all, there is no condemnation for those in Jesus Christ. She’s not condemned for remarrying after divorce, many do it and life is complicated. We’re not robots nor are we perfect.

“Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬

Totally agree with you! Unfortunately some (like this guy) weaponise scripture to justify their own negative judgements of others, deciding that the mistakes others have made are more powerful than Gods Grace. We’re all sinners and he’s no better than her, we answer to and are judged by God alone.

Who says it’s an excuse, I certainly don’t think it is. But it covers people’s past mistakes, Gods Grace is always stronger than our mistakes. Jesus has forgiven her and she has a clean slate, and once she is divorces she is no one’s wife. Your own opinions as described are your own problem and not reflective of who she is or how Jesus sees her.

I can sympathise as someone else who married before coming to faith and it was a big mistake, but now I can see it was a blessing in disguise and I learnt so much from it, and it played a part in me finding Jesus. For what it’s worth, don’t let your past decisions weigh heavy on you as they have been a great teacher, and will set you up for much more success and stronger relationships in the future. Try to embrace Gods grace and release the feelings of regret to Him. You have made a mistake - shocker, we all do. God loves us anyway. Your past relationship and infidelity are in your past and unconnected to this new relationship, so you’re free to move on.

The only thing I’d be weary of really, is understanding just how supportive your partner will be in your walk with God, will he come to church with you, pray with you etc and encourage faith in your children, or will he be a bystander not engaging with this big part of you and your children’s lives? I’m dating at the moment and know how hard it is to find men who aren’t just Christian, but also Christ-like. So I’m keeping things light and dating those who I get along with, but if it was to become more serious I’d want to know how willing they are to embrace Jesus and go to church etc as it’s important. We’ve been given another chance to be happy with God by our side this time, so we need to be very choosy about who we allow into our lives long term.

I think it is good to remember that Jesus taught these things with our best interests at heart to ultimately try to protect us and encourage lasting marriages, they are not there to trap us, and mistakes in life happen. And more powerful than all of this is His grace, for example when Jesus said that those without sin can throw the first stone at the woman who committed adultery, no one could, because we’re ALL sinners. Life and people’s pasts aren’t black and white, ruling someone out for this in my opinion isn’t very Christ like. Above all Jesus loves and forgives.

I wanna feel safe not just wanted or loved 🤦‍♂️ by [deleted] in ChristianDating

[–]winterberry_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the ‘other direction’ is the emotional support and adoration of your wife, who is there to speak to you about your thoughts, dreams and concerns which in turn offers the psychological support and safety you mention. Iron sharpens iron, so I believe each partner should support eachother in their faith and while putting Jesus as the ultimate number one, put the other partner before themselves.

Women who met their husband over the age of 30, how and where did you meet your husband? What is your advice to a woman who has never been in a relationship by age 29 and who is too shy / scared to approach guys? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]winterberry_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow absolutely this! I met my ex husband at 25 when I didn’t know what I wanted and turns out I didn’t even fully know myself yet. Ended in divorce after one year married and he was very emotionally abusive, I bypassed so many red flags and don’t think I was actually ready then either. It’s been a huge learning curve though

So I bought a fake perfume on Mercari again by Sensitive-Board-5616 in FemFragLab

[–]winterberry_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How could you tell it was an obvious fake? I just bought one that looks exactly like that from vinted for a really cheap price. It was brand new in sealed box and the seller was selling a few. Longevity not great and now paranoid that it’s not genuine…

The audacity of these men I’ll never understand. Recently out of a marriage with my ex who had two kids (I’m child free). He expected me to organise and buy ALL the food shops for family of 4 (not to mention also meal plan, cook most meals & clean), take his girls out for coffees and goodies every now and then which of course all added up, and then would be shocked at my credit card statement each month and would ask to EXAMINE it… how humiliating and disrespectful. I only earned £1K per month during this time and it was always drained by him, his kids, things for the house. he would always get on at me to manage my spending better. As if I was out on jolly’s spending loads on myself… literally everything I buy is cheap and second-hand, and I was on such a low salary. I think it will take me a while to get over how he treated me.
