Hi all
Im christian (catholic)with a man that is divorced( im not), so if we refer to the bible we are both in an adultery position, and in the ultimate sin if we get marrie or stay together...
We (especially me) find it very difficut to admit that because of our feelings and choice to live together, we are banned. I recently seen on a blog for divorced christian that on the bibke it is said that there is a case where man can divorce...in deuteronome 24 1-4
Have you ever read it ? How do you understand it ?
Thanks for sharing

Here's the scripture for reference purposes:
Deuteronomy 24:1-4
New International Version (NIV)
If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house,
2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man,
3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies,
4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance. :Rose:

The best advise that I can share with you is that this forum is not your best place for counsel for such a serious matter for your lives.
Of all the things in life, we want to be right with God...and that will place us in right positions with each other here on earth.
I have my own personal opinions about this and there is scripture for support, however, it's not scripture that applies to each individual circumstance.
The scripture from Deuteronomy 24 is based upon what Jesus shared, that God granted divorced because of the 'hardness of their hearts'. When you read Deut 24, it's hard towards the woman, when it says, the husband is not pleased with her, he gets to dismiss her as his wife. This is what Jesus is talking about when he says, 'because of the hardness of your heart'.
My serious advice for you is to attend Marriage counseling... Christian counseling and prayerfully stay in God's leading with this. Don't even put it off much longer. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to make the decision that God is leading you to.
I do not know God's plans for either of your lives. No one here in this forum can tell you, nor does any website on marriage. However,
God knows and He is the one that you need to seek and take counsel with and with the help of a dedicated counselor who is firm in their faith with Christianity.
I wish the two of you well and that you will find joy, first in loving Jesus and wherever God leads you through His love for both of you. God will only give you His very best.
In Jesus' Name, Amen. :Rose:
