Core Interrelations
CONSOLIDATION:
You might as well forget about divorcing your spouse and then marrying someone else
(unless the one you divorced was maritally unfaithful);
it
is not the way. Divorcing your spouse and then marrying someone else is adultery
(unless the one you divorced was maritally unfaithful, see
MT 19:9);
don't be insensitive to what Jesus says.
"Whosoever shall put away [divorce] his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." MK 10:11-12
"Whosoever shall put away [divorce] his wife, except it be for fornication [sexual immorality], and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso [he who] marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." MT 19:9
Relationship problems are caused by the bad things we do from the harmfulness in our hearts.
The harmer may take away your worldly things, burden you, or attack your dignity. So it's not easy because now you must lovingly offer yourself to them.
Don't cause others to sin; there is a heavy price to pay. Forgive your brother when he repents. Humble serving is our duty.
The kingdom of heaven belongs to people with childlike humility.
Recognize the harmful desires in your heart and value overcoming them (even though people may approve of them), showing the Lord you care about Him and His way of life, his everlasting principles.
You may really have to get a handle on the harmfulness in your heart in order not to get divorced.
Looking at women lustfully is adulterous and leads you into hell.
We better ask God to help us quit doing all these things that are bad to do.
