Aren't We supposed to be there for Our fellow Christians??

Question

In reguards to My last statement. So, if a woman is getting abused or her husband cheats on her its ok, but if the woman..is young, and makes a mistake..then she can not be trusted to teach. Seems to me that if she got into a marriage that ended in divorced that, that would give her knowledge to be able to be there for others,....Wouldn't God loves us that much to send someone thats been through it and knows to help them through??..Aren't We supposed to be there for Our fellow christians??

Answer 1

You went into more detail than you did your last statement. You did not mention this.

Sure people make mistakes. We all do. We always will. If you made a mistake, that's between you and God. The only thing you have to do is scriptural repent of it. That cleans you of anything you did. God forgives you. NO MAN CAN NOT HOLD AGAINST YOU, WHAT GOD HIMSELF FORGIVES YOU OF.

Why could you not teach? Paul himself was a former blasphemer. He was a Bible great. Isn't this what God is all about? Taking sinful people and making them JUST, through Christ?

God Bless You.
Have a great week.

Answer 2

It depends on what church / denomination you are attending. I'm sort of shocked when I run across churches who so blantantly exclude divorced people regardless of the reasons behind the divorce, because I've been fortunate to be part of congregations where people have had to go through the pain of such things in their past and thus know how to relate to those going through them now.

It's really late and I'm feeling woozy :), or I'd probably say more. I think the gist of the scripture passages comes down to this:

1. True, divorce is hated by God; it's not what He wants, ideally, and the broken relationship doesn't reflect his love for the church, it messes up the spouses in any future relationships, and it messes up the kids as well.

2. That being said, divorce was acceptable under certain conditions in the OT law (one being adultery), and Jesus was very clear that, while he was against divorce, it was permitted because "men's hearts were hard" (i.e., human beings were unwilling to repent of their sin) and it was worse to permit the continual victimization of the innocent spouse.

The best book I have read about it is "Divorce and Remarriage and the Bible" by David Instone-Brewer. It's an excellent analysis of the relevant scriptures as well as the culture at the time and how the Law and Jesus' comments would have been perceived by the average Jew. It also addresses how those understandings should impact our practice of divorce today.

Anyway, you're exactly right about supporting fellow believers, especially those who have been betrayed by their spouses. I consider it another betrayal (as heinous as the first) for the church to turn on its own innocent and wounded by alienating and excluding them from fellowship.

(Note: Just curious, don't most of these churches that are extremely stringent on divorce probably forbid women from teaching anyway just because they're women? Maybe it's just par for the course for them...)

Answer 3

i'm a christian and that i locate your question exceptionally offending. Lol purely kidding:) yet serously i'm a christian and that i do interprut the purposes I actual have. God talks to me in all of them the time. you're meant to be in a position to interpret your desires yet your meant to do it contained in the right way. do not bypass to phony prophets on your dream interpretations. I exceptionally propose the e book "expertise the purposes you Dream: Biblical Keys for listening to God's Voice contained in the nighttime" by technique of: Ira Milligan. you should also communicate your desires including your christian mentor or pastor. in the journey that they discourage this then your for sure in with the incorrect crew of christians. Btw, as a everyday rule the purposes that are in color are those from God.

Answer 4

God loves us enough to trust us to figure out most of our problems. This is because we are capable to fufill his duties with only his wisdom and not his direct guidence. To help a brother or sister out is part of life, and religion should not be an indicator of who we should or shouldn't help. We are supposed to be there for our fellow man, not just Christians.

Answer 5

Yes, I do believe we are supposed to be there for spiritual support. We can pray for those struggling, but we also have to correct them when they are blatantly wrong. There is a difference between judging and forcing someone to see the truth. We do this out of love because we care for that person. We all make mistakes. None of us are perfect. But as individuals, we are also responsible for our own behavior and foolishness. We're also responsible for our own salvation.

Answer 6

I have no clue what you mean by all of this really so I'll try to give as good of an answer as I can. Yes, you should try to be there for other people when they need help. And not just Christians, you should be there for Hindus, Muslims, etc.

Answer 7

I'm sorry dear, but I am having trouble understanding what it is you are trying to say in your question.
Anyone in need and ask for help should be given help. this does not mean panhandlers or swindlers.
And no it not right for a women to be beaten by her husband or have him cheat on her.
Now, for teaching, I'm in the dark here.><>

Answer 8

We're supposed to be there for our fellow *humans*. It is immoral deny someone aid on account of their beliefs.

Answer 9

Answer 10

That's true. There's no reason you couldn't teach in my opinion.
