Christ Is The Answer – Marriage Has Its Pattern

      20000917 Christ Is The Answer - Marriage Has Its Pattern - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

#Marriage, #celibacy, #divorce, and #equality – what does the #Bible say about these subjects?  Buckle up for a two parter.  Is there a difference between Paul quoting scripture and Paul expressing what he has learned?  What was the experience of the people of Corinth with polygamy and divorce?  Paul is answering questions that the Corinthian church had posed.  How many questions must they have had for Paul to devote a whole chapter to marriage?  When should they marry?  Paul says marriage is designed to be one man to one woman period.  What are the responsibilities of each partner in marriage?  Is it 50/50?  What are the rewards?  What is wrong with the reasoning that ‘God wants me to divorce my spouse?’  Was there any exception to this?

This week may be a little less #blackandwhite than previous messages.  Brother Tommy jumps right in with a discussion of #suicide and different types of it.  Interestingly, when it comes to end of life decisions, it might interest you to know that Brother Tommy put into practice what he said here.  Are there any ethical considerations involved in the transplanting of organs?  When he gets around to talking about funerals, you should know Brother Tommy wanted to be laid to rest in a plain pine box in the backyard.  Spoiler:  he didn’t quite get his way.  But enough about death, next we move on to status and how and whether it should be sought.  And what does the Bible say about marriage and divorce?  Is there an ethical consideration to how we shape our lifestyle?

Next week we will start to look at what the Bible says about tangible ethics of a sexual nature.
