    Malachi 2:16

    If verses makes no sense to me, I try reading between the lines and try seeing the non literal meaning of it . God does not "hate divorce", so naturally something else is meant. This is one of the interesting verses, where people who are taking things literally totally might miss the point...

    Malachi 2:16

    I agree with this statement from the above link: ...But we should stop saying that God hates divorce as this is may well be misquoting and misrepresenting scripture. Moreover, pronouncing that “God hates divorce” brings only hurt, confusion, and feelings of condemnation to Christians who are...

    Malachi 2:16

    Christian Bibles differ hugely with each other on this and the LXX also has a different reading than most of those other Bible translations come up with based on the Masoretic Text. One can imagine certain translation choices were made with Matthew 5:31-32 in mind.

    Malachi 2:16

    For starters, "I" isn't there. It's "he hates etc" and then switches to "said the Lord God of Israel", and then again third person referral and then "said the Lord of Hosts". I suppose the understanding in your link that "he hates - [therefore] divorces" and the thought that it refers to the...

    Malachi 2:16

    There are different opinions about the point of this verse but take a look at this translation (from the Judaica Press version): If you hate [her], send [her] away, says the Lord God of Israel. For injustice shall cover his garment, said the Lord of Hosts, but you shall beware of your spirit...

    The numbering may be different in the Tanakh. What is the correct translation of this? @Harel13 @RabbiO @rosends God on Divorce (Malachi 2:16) - Marg Mowczko

    Who is the Baha’i Jesus and how does He differ from the Christian Jesus?

    It is probably worth exploring what Christian Jesus and Baha’i Jesus taught about divorce. There is no difference in this instance as we both use the same scriptures. Baha’is however would reconsider laws of marriage and divorce in light of what Bahá’u’lláh has Revealed as we consider Him the...

    Who is the Baha’i Jesus and how does He differ from the Christian Jesus?

    I recalled that you mentioned that Baha'i Jesus is similar to the Muslim Jesus. The Christian Jesus is sub-defined into Mormon Jesus, Nicene Jesus [Catholic/Protestant] and the Jehovah Jesus - also separate and distinct from the Bible Jesus. How do you love your enemies? Isn't it love when...

    God And Homosexual Sex

    Actually yes, divorce is considered sinful in all three of the major Abrahamic religions and is punished as all sin is (including homosexuality). "But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever...

    I heard Jesus got kicked out of church.

    I absolutely love your example, and it should display quite nicely how even you, yourself (the one doing all of this proclaiming that there is a "right" way to interpret these things) are engaged in entirely wrong ways of thinking. Take "haughty eyes" as a first example. What are "haughty...

    I heard Jesus got kicked out of church.

    Let's put that to the test: ’[Jehovah] has hated a divorcing.’ —Malachi 2:16 (Bracket mine.) "There are six things that Jehovah hates; Yes, seven things that he detests: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, A heart plotting wicked schemes, and feet that run...

    Obeying Your Husband.

    Very well said. If people use the Biblical principles, divorce rates go down. Some people miss this verse about equality:" For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body." Here, spiritually, Christ is the head and...

    Obeying Your Husband.

    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures Ephesians 5:22-24 22 Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23 because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24 In fact, as the congregation is in...

    Obeying Your Husband.

    Not inequality when the roles are assigned by gender? You forgot to mention that the only grounds for divorce is sexual immorality. Might have something to do with the divorce rate...

    Obeying Your Husband.

    1 Corinthians 11:3... "But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ." (NASB) Headship is God's arrangement, but it is not to be confused with dictatorship. (Apparently some men seem to think it is.) Men have...

    Paul, homosexuality and the church

    The Bible, whether the old or the new covenants states what should be the proper sexual relation. The only proper sexual relation is when a man and a woman are husband and wife. Outside of the marriage is detestable and a sin against God. What is improper is also mentioned and that includes...

    Parents on their way to prison for not providing medical care for child.

    LOL The JW religion has been around for over a hundred years, with all of its various leaders and groups of leaders declaring that they are the only "channel used by God" and they are the Faithful and Discreet Slave spoken of in scriptures. All of these men have appointed themselves without...

    Parents on their way to prison for not providing medical care for child.

    Let me address this first.... The "verified proof" is coming, just like it did in Noah's day. Are you willing to wait? Do you have verified proof that they aren't appointed by Jehovah when they have accomplished what no other global brotherhood has done?.....who else is preaching the kingdom...

    Mount Sinai god was God disguised as a pagan god

    The Mount Sinai god said an eye for eye and life for life. Jesus said: MATTHEW 5 : 38 "You heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth'. But I tell you do not resist an evil person. Inner city gangs live by this credo. If one of theirs is shot they retaliate. People can't even...
