Subject: RE: divorce? - irretrievable breakdown
My view is that easy manner in which civil law allows divorce contributes to
the high rate that has crept into the church. Whereas our moral standards
have declined in the society, in general, law makers have conveniently
opened up a lot of gaps in the legal systems that are there in the land. For
example, the judicial officer simply has to establish whether LOVE still
exists or not. If the answer is negative the divorce is granted. The enquiry
that is done to see whether there are any reasonable prospects of the
continued existence of the marriage is left to lawyers who may themselves be
divorcees or even interested in one of the divorcing parties themselves.
There is another enquiry pertaining to the irretrievable breakdown of
marriage. Here you have some mechanical rules of operation that require a
divorcing party to mention things that show that the relationship has
irretrievably broken down. Things like extramarital affair, 12 months
separation and sexual failure are frequently mentioned to prove this point.
Henceforth the judicial officer will grant a divorce decree.
From the little bit of experience I gathered in an attorney's office I found
surprising facts. There was a very high rate of fault committed by the male
folks compared to females. It is precisely this point that made me think
also that males need to contain themselves and stop seeing many "wives"
whereas one is married to his own wife.
from the foregoing I wish to state that the church has been largely affected
by these secular things. We get converted to worldliness sitting in the
church. I cannot understand, for example, why would a man assault his own
wife to a point of breaking her arm or do something very injurious to her
without having been converted to the world.
Having said all this may anyone help me with this question: How should a
man/woman behave or feel when your partner cannot provide a conclusive
answer as to whether he/she still loves you. The only answer you get is "I
don't know, I still have to find out".
God bless you all.

Dear friends,
It has been very quite out there.
Why is there such a high degree of divorces in the church?
Is divorce and option for a Christian?
He will come!

To make the question even broader, what do you do when your husband/wife does not love you any more?
How do you try to convince him/her that you are worthy of his/her love?
Sometimes one can feel that I have done my 50% and the other person needs to do their 50%, however, as one wise man once said, marriage is not about doing your 50% percent but it's about doing 100%. Doing not only your part, but also the partner's part. There are times when the partner might not see your 50% as you see it.
If you do you best and you partner still can not say 'I love you too'. I think you need to double your best, love him/her even more. For love begets love. We are never going to get love by wining an argument. Real love can break barriers; Real love can melt a heart of stone. Real love is irresistible. Real love comes from God.
That's my try!
With God, all things are possible!

Subject: Re: 1888 Message
Jeremiah,
Thank you for your explanation of what happened in the Minneapolis
Conference. I read your explanation with great interest, I wish you
continued to tell us what led to Jones' losing his membership in
the Adventist church.

I personally don't see the reason for the president's anger in this case.
Of course I do not know the manner in which Jones preached this "new
light". Let me tell you why. Suppose you discover something very precious
as the truth the two men discovered. Would you wait until it is approved
by the GC? Mrs White herself never, as far as I know, went to the leaders
of the church to "ask permission" to preach/teach whatever was revealed to
her. After discovering that Christ is our righteousness; we are treated as
if we had never sinned when we sincerely come to Him, we would probably
do exactly what the two men did. The point is: It's hard to be silent
once you receive such "a precious message".
As I said before there might be genuine reasons why the president was
furious. We were unfortunately not there when that happened.
I understand that Jones taught that good works amount to nothing.
Sister White had to write strong messages of warning. One such is found in
Selected Messages pages 377,388
"I know your meaning, but you leave a wrong impression upon many minds.
While good works will not save even one soul, yet it is impossible for
even one soul to be saved without good works."
"Works will not buy for us an entrance into heaven." page 388
The second sentence from the first quotation is more interesting, to me at
least. "While good works will not save even one soul, yet it is impossible
for even one soul to be saved without good works."
I need your analysis skills here. What is the difference between the two
statements:
1. Good works amount to nothing.
2. Good works will not save even one soul, nor buy him an entrance into
heaven.
Can you shed some light on why Elder Jones left the church? Was it because
of his belief that not all of EGW's visions were from God? I believe
Waggoner was disfellowshiped for divorcing and remarring.
The Lord will come again, just wait and murmur not.
Daniel

I don't know about obsession, but the marriage vow still says '"TILL DEATH DO US APART"
As much as God CAN change the tasteless water into a sweet wine, He CAN sweeten a tasteless marriage. As much as He CAN create something out of nothing, He CAN create love where there is no love.
As long as there is life there is hope.
Hold on! Wait upon the Lord, for He is able!
Never give up!

Daniel,
These young men (Waggoner & Jones) violated a great principle that
had united the pioneers from the beginning of the movement, and
that's the principle of the priesthood of believers. The Adventist
church was founded by men and woman who came together to study and
search the scriptures. If one finds a new light he/she brings it to
the brethren for discussion. A typical example is that of the Sabbath
truth, after Joseph Bates came across the Sabbath truth he brought it
to the fellow believers for discussion.
These young men (Waggoner & Jones) were very sharp in their debates
and at times portraying the spirit of showing off. For this reason
Ellen White rebuke them in 1887, she wrote that Waggoner lacked
"humility and meekness", while Jones needed to cultivate "practical
godliness" Manus 15 1888
In early 1888 Ellen White also rebuked them for publishing their
views in the 'Signs of the times', she wrote:
"I have no hesitancy in saying you have made a mistake here. You have
departed from the positive directions God has given upon this matter,
and only harm will be the result. This is not in God's order. You
have now set the example for others to do as you have done, to feel
at liberty to put in their various ideas and theories and bring them
before the public, because you have done this. This will bring in a
state of things that you have not dreamed of. . . . It is no small
matter for you to come out in the Signs as you have done, and God has
plainly revealed that such things should not be done. We must keep
before the world a united front. Satan will triumph to see
differences among Seventh-day Adventists. These questions are not
vital points. . . . "
Counsels to Writers and Editors, page 75,76
She again wrote: "I do not think that years will wipe out the
impressions made at our last conference. I know how these things
work. I am satisfied that we must have more of Jesus and less of
self. If there is difference upon any parts of the understanding of
some particular passage of Scripture, then do not be with pen or
voice making your differences apparent and making a breach when there
is no need of this."
Counsels to Writers and Editors, page 79,
This clearly shows that the old guards (Butler, Smith and co.) were
not over reacting. The fact of the matter is that they were errors on
both sides, even though the old guards not only had a wrong strategy
they also had a wrong theology.
What should be the reaction of the church's leadership when a pastor
of the church decides to start preaching a new theology? He will be
violating this principle of the priesthood of believers. What do you
do when have found a new light? You bring it to the fellow believers
for discussion and if it is from God, the Holy Spirit open the eyes
of the brethren to see the light.
This was the problem with the church in Germany during the First
World War, when the German union decided to go against the stand of
the church of non-combatancy. The results were the formation of the
Reformed SDA church.
This principle of the priesthood of believers prevented the split
along Divisions lines on the policy of ordination of woman in the
1995 GC session.
He will come!
Jeremiah

Subject: Baptism.
Dear Brethren
This morning I was looking in the book of Mark 1 and my attention was
drawn to verse 5"people from Jerusalem and from all over judea traveled
out into the wilderness to see and hear John.And when they confessed
their sins,he baptized them in the Jordan river" and in my mind came
this questions.I want to know how did they confess their sins,for I
still believe that the ceremonial law was still applicable,and John the
Baptist baptized them after the confession not of their faults but of
their sins?i want to know was there baptism before John the Baptist and
before Christ?
soon and very soon we are going to see the King of kings.

I agree with you man of God, I am on your side. My fear is that we can
over burden love. I do not subscribe to the notion that love can change
everything. God loves us, he sent his only son to die for us, but not all
of us will be saved, love has not failed we have failed to respond.
Currently, I have a serious case of a woman who, in her own way, has done
everything to show love to her husband, and the last thing she was told
after a series of abuse, was that Let us divorce. Her question, is, where
have I failed? I loved my husband, why did that not work? She thinks that
maybe she did not love him strongly.
With this kind of experience, I think it is only proper for us to look at
the other side of love, and that is, Love is strong. God will have to
accept one day that there are people who do not want His love, love can be
rejected, but cannot be destroyed.
Let us love them not because we want them to change, but because we have
been changed by the love of God. Love can never fail, but those we love
can fail us.

Jongimpi,
How do you go around the vow that says "Till death do us part"? This does
not say "Till divorce do us part"? Could it be that this vow might also
imply the death of love on one of the parties? I am worried by the fact that
if one could wake up one morning not loving anymore, if such a thing is
there, then divorce will even be made easier and authorised under any
circumstances. I am becoming confused.
We cannot just divorce.
