What about divorce for reasons such as abuse? Physical, mental, emotional, etc?
Is divorce a sin? Or is it only remarriage that is a sin?

Nothing will ever be funnier than non-Christians “informing” Christians about things they’re already aware of like they’re showing electricity to 12th-century peasants or what they have to say is going to shake our faith to its very core.
“Did you know the Forbidden Fruit wasn’t really an apple? That depictions of the fruit as apples only came about because it was a pun on the Latin word “mala?”“ “Yeah we’re aware,”
“Did you know that Jesus wasn’t white? That He was a brown Middle-Eastern Israeli Jew?” “We learned this in CCD class at age 5,”
“Did you know The Prince of Egypt is a Jewish story?” “We know what the Old Testament is and where Christianity originated, so…”
“Did you know that Hell is actually a frozen wasteland and not a fiery pit?” “That was actually from Dante’s Inferno which isn’t considered doctrinal since it’s basically glorified self-insert fanfiction, however it’s a very interesting and thought-provoking read full of symbolism,”
Honestly, if you see an angel that’s all eyes and wings and wheels of fire, you should be worried. Like, not because it’s going to hurt you or anything, but because scripturally, angels invariably appear to ordinary people in human form. In general, they only show their inhuman true forms to prophets – which means if you’re seeing them like that, they come bearing responsibility.
I was crying to the Lord and He answered me... Psalm 3:4 🍂
God is not deaf to the cries of His children, there are times when there seems to be no answer but God is still there...
I have those moments where tears became my prayer. It speaks more to God than words. Everytime i let it all out to Him there is a sense of peace after it. It's God's way of telling me, "I'm in control, trust Me. Now rest in My presence."
My relationship with God is always a father reassuring His daughter that everything will be alright. That His plan is bigger than my plan and everything He does is for my good.

To my brothers and sisters in Christ, whose fathers have left them feeling unloved and abandoned, I pray that today you will remember how very much your Heavenly Father loves you. You have a Father who will fight for you, died for you, who never breaks His promises and promises to never leave you or forsake you. He knows your every sorrow; every tear you have cried, He holds in His hand. You are his highest treasure, his precious child, his beloved creation, and every galaxy has been writ in the sky to show just how much He adores you. I know it’s hard, but today is not a day of heartbreak, for you are a child of the King! :)
According to the Bible, you must marry your rapist~
You must have missed the section of Genesis where Dinah was raped by Schehem who then tried to marry her. Her brothers said he could only if he and all his men circumcised themselves, and then while they were recovering from their injuries her brothers slaughtered them all as revenge.
a man of Lebanese/Turkish descent on twitter posted a AI-made reconstruction of the face of Jesus and said he looks like family and he’s so right…
here’s the original tweet btw
do you ever just think about Jesus living here on earth
i think sometimes we tend to think He just bounced from one miracle to another and everyday was a Bible story but His ministry lasted for three years and the Gospels don’t actually cover that much so
imagine all those ordinary days??
He probably had favorite foods and morning routines and sore dirty feet from walking while sweat ran in His eyes in the hot Judean sun and He got blisters and hiccups and colds and maybe He snored
all the times He laughed till He cried and i bet He had inside jokes with His disciples. imagine having an inside joke with the person who gives you breath to laugh in the first place
and He had human skills He knew how to build a house and cook and wash his clothes and read
passing food at the dinner table and bumping hands with Jesus
talking about silly inconsequential things like the weather
maybe some nights John was sleepy and he leaned against Jesus and could hear His heartbeat
maybe some nights a disciple had insomnia and he climbed out of his bedroll to find Jesus sitting against a rock, looking up at heaven, and they sat and watched the stars together
(the God of the universe looking up through short-sighted eyes at His creation, and the disciple wants so badly to ask what it was like to shape each star, but he looks at those calloused human hands and something in him trembles)
do you ever think that the ordinary days so far outnumbered the miraculous ones that the disciples, sometimes, almost forgot
and then He goes and turns water into wine and feeds five thousand people from a kid’s lunch and brings dead Lazarus walking alive out of the tomb and they just kind of lose their breath
not because they didn’t expect deity to accomplish the impossible but because this God has been living with them
it’s not the miracles that are unthinkable
Very interesting perspective here! Never thought of it that way.
Can't get over the prominence of the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac in my childhood. Can't get over the prominence of the moral of God above family and friends in my childhood. That always tore me apart.
If anger were a sin, Jesus would have been incapable of it.
If fear were a sin, Jesus would have been incapable of it.
If sorrow was a sin, Jesus would have been incapable of it.
Killing every last bit of your humanity by sheer willpower is not required for holiness.
person of color: hey wouldn’t it be cool if angels were represented as brown or black more often–
edgy whites who went to a week of bible study 15 yrs ago and regurgitate all their Superior Knowledge from textually inaccurate all-caps tumblr posts written by supernatural fans: um…… ACTUALLY :) angels don’t look like HUMANS they look like ELDRITCH NIGHTMARES™ that MELT YOUR BRAIN OUT so stop giving them skin colors :) try a few animal heads instead :) don’t forget the eyeballs :)
