First, we dont call out Bible the 'Old Testament' because we dont believe there is a new one.\n\nHowever, yes, the Orthodox Jewish community still follows the laws you describe above.\n\nBy the way, this means that for roughly 2 weeks each month, a Jewish couple who follow this law will not have sex as an issue between them. It means that for half of each month, they must relate to each other as platonic friends, and this makes the relationship far stronger, and is one reason given for the very low divorce rate throughout the  history of the Jewish People. Only since the Jews have assimilated, become like their non-Jewish neighbors, has the divorce rate risen to the same rate as among their non-Jewish counterparts, but continues to remain low among the orthodox.

some ancient records prior to the old testament say God married twice one was Lilith evidently they say god invented divorce\nyou can verify through the works of Carl Jung whom read \nthe original Aramaic and Greek of those times.

When I met my husband, 1988, he was just falling away from Christianity, and I, being at that time a non-Christian, pulled him even further. We got married in a registry office (Gretna Green, Scotland), and after being married 6 years or so, things weren't great between us. Then God virtually hit me over the head one day, I had a shock revelation that God was real, and I became a Christian. My husband was adamant that I was being a fool by believing in all that, but 2 years later and after much prayer, he came back to Christ, that was a year ago. Now we have a great marriage, we lead a house group together. Our marriage may not have survived had I not believed that God wanted me to stay married (it says so in the Bible.) There are faults in all marriages, whatever faith you have, but for us, seeking God's will together has put all our troubles in perspective, when we have money problems we know God is helping us through so that cuts out much stress. Also raising our kids to know Jesus makes parenting easier as there is a higher authority to refer to.

this is what the bible says about divorce.\n\n\nDivorce is never permissible.\n    Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery. -- Mark 10:11\n\n    Whosoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery. -- Luke 16:18\n\nOnly when the wife is unfaithful\n    Whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery. -- Matthew 5:32\n\n    Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery. -- Matthew 19:9\n\nWhen the 'unbelieving' partner chooses to leave\n    But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. -- 1 Corinthinians 7:15\n\nWhen the husband is displeased with his wife\n    When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. -- Deuteronomy 24:1-2

I've backslidden away from the Lord before and I found that I can't live without him.  Everyone else will fail us at one time or another--Jesus will never leave us or forsake us.  The Bible talks about walking away from the Lord and returning to sin is like a dog returning to his own vomit and eating it.  I certainly made some wrong choices in my life and walked the fence for a long time--but as I cried out for help--Jesus once again picked me up and loved me right where I was.  There is nothing that this world can offer you that can satisfy your soul like Jesus can.

Have you talked to him about reconciliation through some type of therapy through your church. I have been divorced, and would have preferred reconciliation, but never even talked about it to my ex-wife. She pursued the divorce at first, and I never fought at all, what a mistake. He might have lost that loving feeling, but that is part of life. It will return, given time. and it will be better than before.

If you read the whole chapter, you will notice that it is about marriage and divorce.  You will also note that the context of that verse has to do with not getting married because of the fear of divorce.

First, you kind of missed some parts of the verse:\nAnd secondly, I am not sure where you got your translations, but it is not giving out the full tranalation.\n\nYusufali 2:228] Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for them to hide what Allah Hath created in their wombs, if they have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them. And Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.\n\n\nWhen a woman gets a divorce, she has to wait for like 40 days before she can remarry.\nHowever, if the husband and the wife decide to reconcile, than they are allowed to do it.\n\nThere you go, if you read the right translation, you might understand.\nSO as you can see, how people have already thought that Islam downputs women through their wrong translation,...... but when you give them the right translation, than they dont have a word to say....... Read the verse......

I am reminded of the old Nazareth song.\n\nLove Hurts....\n\nTo answer your questons, yes our society has changed the laws to "fit" their emotions.  \n\nHere's a way to look at it from a church point of view.\nDivorce is sin in God's eyes, when you sin can God forgive you?  Saul of Tarsus wrote most of the New Testament.  The Blood line of Jesus consists of\n\n1. Murderer (David)\n2  Harlot  (Rahab)\n3. Exibitionist (Bathsheba)\n\nYou see where this goes?  God takes the bad and makes it good.  And I'm not even a super religious person!\n\nYes love can conquer all, if you and your partner will allow it to.

its a question-maybe-I let my x back -but the marriage was never the same-but the most important thing is to pray and let Jesus into your heart to forgive even one lie in our life and help us do better-amen  Revelation 3:19&20 -he healed my heart and I am ready to trust again-only in a new marriage Lord willin---WILL BE PRAYIN FOR YOU TOO

Divorce - leviticus 21 discusses not marrying a divorced woman, deuteronomy discusses not divorcing one's spouse as well as what grounds there are for divorce.....\n\nPiercing/Tattoos - leviticus also addresses tattoos, and I don't recall any scriptural reference to piercing exactly although leviticus does address "cutting" yourself.  However this was in reference to those who were marking their bodies for other god's.  So personally I don't think this means that current day "trendy" tattooing or piercing is against God.  (Unless your tattoo or piercing is done in worship of another god).\n\nJealousy - numbers discusses making offerings for jealousy, so it would be assumed by these verses that it is displeasing to God.  However the bible does give plenty of indication that God is a jealous God when his creation is bowing in worship to other false Gods.  Specifically there is a verse in Psalm 78 & 79 about it.\n\nRemarriage - see divorce response as this was addressed in leviticus and dueteronomy.\n\nSuicide - there is no direct mention of suicide in the bible, however some denominations consider suicide a form of self murder and therefore it is a sin b/c murder is a sin.  This is debatable and frankly open to interpretation.  Personally I don't believe in the whole "go to hell if you commit suicide" camp.  There is nothing scripturally to back that up, therefore I don't buy it.\n\nFalse Teachings - we are told to beware of false prophets and false teachings in several books of the bible including:  Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Micah.\n\nWitchcraft - is mentioned throughout the OT as being against God, specifically found in the books Dueteronomy, 2 Kings, 2 Chronicals, Micah, Nahum and Galations.\n\nSpiritual Gifts are addressed in many forms, sometimes specifically (1 Corinthians) and other times in the mentioning of "talents" given by the Lord to accomplish specific tasks. Such as those who were responsible for building the tabernacle (Exodus)\n\nUnconditional Love -   will have to think on this more.\n\nHomosexuality - God clearly states that he abhors it.  this can be seen in the story of Soddom and Gahmorrah and in a few other places where it addresses men laying with men, women laying with their kind, etc.  HOWEVER, this does not give room for us to hate gays.  We should still love them, because we are commanded above all things to love.  Love the sinner, hate the sin.\n\nThe Trinity - We can see the first address of the pluralism of God in genesis when God says "let US create man in OUR image".  This definitely indicates more than one.  Then through out the bible we see references to God the father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit.  Jesus says that he was with the father in the beginning, he uses the name I AM which is also the name God used in the OT, etc.  \n\nDrinking Alcohol - Jesus made water into wine... and frankly it was a common drink of the time ... water was generally dirty and not good for consumption.  So wine would have have been used and even drunk by children.  Not uncommon.  However, the bible does address drunkeness and moderation. Genesis addressed Noah being drunk, Lots daughters get their dad drunk, etc.  In these instances being drunk leads to not so great things and is obviously displeasing to the Lord.\n\nPre-marital sex... Exodus discusses the pentaly to for sleeping with a virgin, this is a prime example of it not being favored by God otherwise there would not be a penalty for it.  Levitcus 21:13 clearly states the woman he marries must be a virgin.  Dueteronomy also addresses the importance of virginity.\n\nOther religions - or false Gods (taking interpretation of your question here) is addressed in Psalms, Jeremiah, Romans, 1 Corithinians, 1 Timothy, and more.  God clearly doesn't like us turning to false Gods, bowing to idols, etc.  In fact the first commandment we have is that there shall be no o

They could stay, but would have to change their sinful ways and repent and stop living that life, or have to go esle where. The Chruch has an obligation to not only share the word of God, but inforce it. \n\nThere was a man and a woman that were both married to other people, but went to church and was having an affair with different other people from their church. The pastor talke to them privately and let them know that they had to stop that behavior or they will be evicted from that chruch. \n\nNow this was done in priviate. The woman refused and told the pastor that it was none of his business. He told her that she was no longer allowed to attend His church if she did not repent of that sinful lifestyle. \n\nThis foolish woman took what was done in priviate, and called the TV stations, and had it aired all over the state. Now how stupid of her was that?\n\nIf you deliberatly refuse to change your sinful ways, that church does not have to keep you as a member. \n\nHebrews 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.\n \n1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

The New Testament was not meant to be a new law book for us to be put under after being freed from the burden of the old law book. Most Christians say unless your spouse commits adultery, you're stuck with them. If they're an ax murderer, a gang banger, satanic high priest, or as I read on this site recently, a soon to be trans-sexual, thats too bad. As long as they haven't cheated on you. Didn't Jesus rebuke the pharisees on several occasions for putting the written code above love and compassion? And didn't Paul say that God called His children to live in peace? Didn't the Lord command us to judge rightly?\n\nLegally speaking, in God's eyes, there is no such thing as divorce. In fact, in His eyes your spouse isn't the first person you walk down the aisle with, it is the first person you sleep with. Study it for yourself in the Old Testament. By this standard I wonder how many of us are "legally" married.\n\nIn the Old Testament(I forgot exactly where) there was a mass divorce because a lot of the Israelites married pagan women against God's express prohibition against it. These women did not commit adultery and God still hated divorce, but this mass divorce was a neccessary evil. Also, in the Law, the remedy for an unfaithful spouse was stoning not divorce. \n\nChristians are using the Bible as a rule book and completely missing the deep and beautiful spiritual truths it contains just like the Jews did with the Torah. They're reading it with carnal rather than spiritual eyes. God's marriage laws were meant to protect the innocent.\n\nThat all being said, remember that God does hate divorce and so should you.\n\nWalk in LOVE not law.

In theory this does make sense.  Any other sin you commit would fall under disobedience.  The Bible commands you not to commit adultery.  So the sin you are forgiven for is not the adultery but the disobedience against the commandment.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I don't follow. How are you two brother and sister if you got married? No where in the law nor the bible nor any moral code I have ever heard of does it state that after a divorce is your ex considered you sibling. Is this some kind of redneck thing? If so you have much bigger problems then the sin of divorce.
