Do people use the scripture to manipulate and cheat on their spouse?

[@rdkirk3834]

What my faith did to me was to force me to admit my failings to my wife and do better. When I challenged God with, "What if she doesn't respond," His answer was, "What she does is my business....are _you_ going to obey me?"

That's what happens when you follow religion instead of the Bible. The Bible is not about religion.

[@MatchedIn_Faith_Club]

@@mikestorm8046 Absolutely!

[@Sandra-jo1lj]

@@mikestorm8046 I can believe this because religion seems based on people's moments. What about life and the people we come into contact with consciously (aware) or unconsciously (unaware). It's like being on your best behavior when you know someone is watching, but you wouldn't have to get into character if you'd be who you are. They say God loves us all in religion they would say all, but you. Judging you for your past, but so-called loving their own daughter who made the same mistake 🤔 If I was lost of course I wouldn't know any better, then why am I judged for it is it just so the ones who knew better can put the blame off on the lost one. I had people acting straight fool around me like ok let's know them by their government assistance fruits. I'm sorry, but 🤣😂🤣

[@MatchedIn_Faith_Club]

@@SimonKnight1023 Yes, the Bible allows for divorce in the case of adultery. In #Matthew 19:9 - Jesus says, "And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery." This clearly shows that sexual immorality, such as infidelity, is a legitimate grounds for divorce according to Scripture. I will also leave everyone to apply directives by the Holy Ghost. Forgiveness, genuine repentance, and love can settle cases like this!

[@konsyansnou8623]

It's all about discernment and God speaks to us through discernment and guts feelings. Interestingly enough, I always felt a strange way against those using the scripture to feed their personal agenda. And often we're not speaking against them cause they know their scriptures and all, and we think if we speak against them, we speak against the word of God ... but deep inside ... we know ....

[@MatchedIn_Faith_Club]

@@konsyansnou8623 Absolutely. I do, and that’s why I have plenty of friends in church. Pastor Franklyn will speak up. If I am wrong, call me out, and I will apologize, repent, and move on. The disciples and early believers owned up to their faults and got better. God help us. I want to make heaven with the help of God and intentional work with Him!

[@wiredamp6070]

My wife has a very close female friend who has been in an undercover affair with a married man for several years. Whenever I say what she’s doing is wrong, she hits me with the Bible say the flesh is weak. She will be forgiven. When I asked if my flesh got weak and I did the same thing, would I be forgiven too…..she said NO!!!😅

[@MatchedIn_Faith_Club]

@@wiredamp6070 Remind her that while God is forgiving, we are called to turn away from sin. Romans 6:1-2 says, "Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" Pray for her regardless and don’t engage her by debating. Prayer will work.

[@dennismagee9555]

People are afraid to give people what their actions deserve. People use the Bible to be reckless careless and selfish. Its your right to be treated right if you treat others right. I had to learn to guard my heart. Guarding your heart guarding your time, trust, loyalty, faithfulness, chances, effort, money, and giving. The biggest con is revenge. When you give people consequences they say you are getting revenge. The best tip i can give anyone is don't let people who wrong you tell you about the Bible. People lose credibility after they wrong you. They want the best of both worlds. They want to do whatever they want but they want to use the Bible to make you do whatever they want.

@@nycepapi Yes, according to the scripture, Jesus permits divorce in the case of adultery. Matthew 19:9 - And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.

God will let you know. Did you ask him about this man or women before you married them or did you tell God that’s your wife or husband. One of my favorite scriptures is Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. God will never send you a spouse that is abusive and manipulative. Also the enemy doesn’t like the covenant of marriage and a couple who is following the will of God so the enemy will try and do anything to destroy the covenant that’s why it’s so important to always remain covered and prayed up especially over your marriage. It’s vital to know what’s in the bloodline on both sides. Stop ignoring God’s warning signs that this is not the Godly man or woman he has for you. To many red flags are ignored and then the enemy wins because the first thing women say after bad relationships is I’m done with dating and then go on a campaign to get other women to be single with them.
