A Divorce- Christians Also Go Through It

Divorce is something that thousands of people face every day. This also includes christians. The debate in the christian community over divorce is strong and diverse. Many believe divorce is unacceptable as stated by the lord. However many others believe it is acceptable under certain circumstances.

In a divorce christian faith can be tested and it can be hard to know what to belief with so many conflicting statements. However christianity is all about faith, and more contemporary christians acknowledge that reality does not quite go according to God's plan.

It is our duty as god's people to try our best to live our lives as god would want, but to also live our lives as we would want. As much as the bible may look down on divorces, it is also a necessary evil.

Humans have free will and part of having free will is making mistakes and adapting over time. If god did not want us to evolve he would not have given us the ability to do so. Because of this gift, we often change over time. The person you may have married might not be the same person today.

Whether you simply grew apart or because a betrayal was committed in your marriage, a divorce might often prove to be the best option. A divorce christian will suffer a harder time during a divorce then others. Not only must they contend with all the problems of a divorce, but also the test on their faith as they know they are going against god's plan.

However we must remind ourselves that god is all knowing, and forgiving of our sins. While he may not like divorces, we know that he will understand. As much as god may be against divorces, he would be more against you staying in an abusive relationship or staying with somebody you do not love.

Some christians like to follow the bible to the letter, and use it as a shield and sword in the fight over whether or not a divorce is acceptable. But one thing we must remember is that the bible was written centuries ago and time changes. What may have been right then may not be right now.

As we progress and learn more about ourselves and the universe god put us in, we also become more open to new ideas and realizations. And one such realization is that god does not want us to suffer needlessly, and as such would not want us to remain in a relationship we do not want.

Ultimately it comes down to you and what your take on the christian faith is. This particular christian believes god to be understanding of our plights and forgiving of our transgressions as long as they are not made recklessly and often.

If you believe a divorce christian is acceptable, and do not wish to remain in your relationship then you should get out. However if you believe god wants you to remain then by all means, stay and fix your relationship. It all comes down to personal faith.
