LilMillerr: I am trying to figure out what is being said in some verses, some churches say it is okay to divorce and remarry, but some churches say that it is not okay, so I am just wondering what stance is actually correct Biblically.
Lengthy comment snipped..
Again, I am leaning more towards its wrong. But there are churches who say it is not wrong.
I would appreciate your thoughts!
Daniel: It's wrong.
LilMillerr: I would agree.
Daniel: Let me know what you think of our articles.
LilMillerr: What exactly do you believe about Jesus?
Daniel: I believe that He is God, and that He will destroy you forever in the lake of fire if you do not believe in him.
LilMillerr: What do you think about his teachings?
Daniel: You'll have to be more specific. I think His teachings are perfect and good.
LilMillerr: Specifically Matthew 6:24,i or Luke 14:33?ii
Daniel: Yes.
LilMillerr: So you think it’s not literal forsaking, but forsaking it in your heart? I don’t think that’s what Jesus says....
In Luke 12:33 it says we need to sell our possessions, how do we sell things in our hearts?
Daniel: Luke 12:
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.LilMillerr: So because he said that if you have treasure on earth your heart will be here, but if you have treasure in heaven your heart will be there, you think that means forsaking it in your heart? That’s a reach. Never once does Jesus say “forsake it in your heart”.
Your heart will be there because that is where your time and your energy goes. You have possessions because you’re putting time into getting these things. I have possessions because I’m putting my time into working for God and he is giving me these things.
I do not quite understand where you’re coming from with the whole “forsaking it all in your heart”. You’re so close to actually following Jesus, you just need to stop looking for loopholes and see what he REALLY says.
I encourage you to reread what he said, and try to get the spirit of what he says. I don’t believe Jesus is trying to tell us to “forsake it in our hearts”. Otherwise he would have said that. But he didn’t.
Peace and blessings to you, Lily
Daniel:
You have possessions because you’re putting time into getting these things. I have possessions because I’m putting my time into working for God and he is giving me these things.You are a hypocrite.
LilMillerr: Thank you, Blessings brother.
