Does Jesus Allow for Divorce in the case of Adultery?
Does Jesus Allow for Divorce in the case of Adultery?
The prominent view is "Yes." of course. Since He fairly says that in Matt. 19.
However, some would argue that Jesus is actually refering to divorce as breaking off a betrothal (as in, Joseph found out Mary was pregnant and "resolved to divorce her quietly.") Under this view, Jesus is saying you may break a betrothal in the case of adultery, but once married, you are married for life, no matter what.

...but what of His Holiness?
"If God is not omniscient then He is not God."
"The Sovereignty of God is the most important aspect of who He is."
Statements like these are often heard on sites like this, but rarely do you here people arguing in defense of God's holiness even though it is the most used divine attribute in the bible.

Differences?
Is there any difference in doctrine between Calvinism, Reformed, or Doctrines of Grace? I see where people refer to themselves in each of these terms. I'm trying to understand where I might fit in, if at all. -
Is Everything Predestined?
Hyper-Calvinists openly assert everything is predestine. Boettner says everything is predestined. But is that Biblical.
No. This thread is not about Omniscience, no matter how it is defined. According to Arminianism, God knowing the future exhaustively does not predestine it. We must set aside this issue and stick with the scope of predestination.
If everything is predestined, that is Closed Theology and God is the Author of Sin, just as the Hyper-Calvinisms claim.

Why Most of Your Church Don't Believe in Tithing
A recent article points to a historiclowintithing among Americans, which should come as no surprise to anyone who plays a role in trying to balance church budgets these days.
Programs are being cut, mission offerings sliced, and staff positions pared away because the money that used to fund them just isn't there anymore.
The recession plays a role, but by no means the only one.
