Why do Christians get divorced

Question #10: Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians?

Just because you’re a Christian or an Atheist does not mean you is a better person. Christians are sinners. All people are sinners. People do wrong things no matter who they are. Everyone falls into temptation. This is why all people are deserving of death and hell. Because people get divorced at the same rate indicates that corruption is found everywhere. One might try to defend Christianity by saying that more Christians get married and need a divorce while non-Christians do not get married and live together and then separate. But this does not matter.

The truth is all people are sinful. Therefore, the sins of one are also connected with the sins of others. Christianity has a core of developing a better way of life. Christians are supposed to become holy as God is Holy. But this is not through our actions. God is the one who makes his people Holy. God is the one who washes people in baptism. God is the one who feeds people giving them strength to live better lives. But this does not make them perfect.

No Christian should ever look down his nose at another. We are all horrible and miserable sinners. Therefore, we confess our sins and plead for Mercy of our sins. 1 John states, "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sin, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make [God] a liar, and His word is not in us." Here you can see the rate of divorce or number of divorces does not matter.

All have fallen short of the Glory of God. All have sinned and been filled with unrighteousness. But God sent his Son to die for us while we were still sinners. He paid the price for our sins. In him we are forgiven of our sins. Christianity is not about being Holier than other people. It is not about being better than others. It is about receiving forgiveness for our short comings.

Set Theory on the Trinity

Many Theologians are not Mathematicians. But Theologies are really into Science. For some reason there is a greater cross over between Theology and Science than any other fields unless you Separate Math and Physic into different fields. But Set Theory at its basic is the idea of taking sets of numbers or things and showing relationships. We see this in Matrices or Venn-Diagrams. Now Theologians generally speaking would use a Venn-Diagram to describe the Trinity. A Theologian would usually talk about three circles one being the Father and another being the Holy Spirit and the Other being the Son. Thus, where these circles connect that is then called God. But this means that there is part of the Son which is not God. Part of the Holy Spirit which is not God. And part of the Father which is not God. This is not true. Rather you take a list of Sets. Take Set God which contains all the attributes of God. Then you take a Set called Holy Spirit it would contain all the attributes of God and y...

The Death of the Holy Innocents

Many people die for what they believe in. Some die for righteous people. But these chosen few die on behalf of the one who will save us all. These children have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. But these children die on account of the Christ Child. Many people have been martyred because they confessed the faith. These children did not stand or even get a chance to stand. They were cut down because they were seen as the threat to King Herod. Rachael mourns for her children. Rachael died giving life to Benjamin near Bethlehem. Rachael now weeps as all the children of this town are slaughtered. But just as Rachael died giving birth to life. These children die to protect the Christ Child who left the town and will die to give all of us life. St Peter once said that he would not allow Christ to go to the cross. St Peter drew his sword in the garden to die for Christ. But only these Children truly give their life for Jesus Christ to live. Their sacrifice should b...

Biblical Marriage

Marriage is defined in Genesis as a man clinging to his wife and the two becoming one flesh. This definition is standardized even in the New Testament by both Jesus and St Paul. Therefore, we have generally said Marriage is defined as one Man and one Woman being joined together in a life long union. Most people think that this Marriage union is created through a man dressed in black and woman dressed in white walking down an aisle to be joined together before some kind of altar. But this is only a ceremony of marriage. The Bride and bridegroom are actually joined together through what is known as consummation, or proper sexual relations.  Thus, St Paul can even talk in reference to a marriage bed. This concept may be overlooked by a culture that no longer views the bed as the place where a majority of sexual activity takes place. But he states this because the marriage bed is the location in which a man and woman are joined together. Just as it was Rachael or Leah's tent in which t...
