Nr. 421:
The new bishop in college married not divorced, but omits to explain why. Have a say A, then you must also say B!
The news that the newly appointed bishop Stein Reinertsen will vie divorcee has caused consternation, anger and harsh words.
Aftenposten intermediary reactions from politicians: - My God! I'm very surprised, Helga Pedersen's immediate reaction. Labor parliamentary leader says it is "important that the Church carries wisdom when it appoints new managers, and that the new bishops appointed, represent the diversity that exists among its members." Her colleague in Sp, Lars Peder Brekk, characterizing it as sad that there is still such attitudes among the bishops. He warns the church not to be so narrow that its position as the national church is threatened. Social Minister Kristin Halvorsen says bishop adds "to the mess for people who finds love again and wants to share the rest of your life" and encourages him to read Paul with a little more spaciousness.
The apostle Paul taught and learned that religious believers who split would either settle or live single. Jesus taught the same thing, and went even further when he lectured and taught it also to marry a divorced woman is to commit adultery!
Illustrative image of the Holy Apostle Paul that we must not reject his words and teaching when he was put by God to fulfill God's word to us Gentile!
1 Cor. 7. 10 The married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, that a wife should not separate herself from her husband; 11 but she is separated from him when she vedbli being unmarried or reconciled with her husband - and that a man to separate himself from his wife.
Luke 16 18 Whosoever putteth away his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
The bishop is unlike sadly too many free church pastors and preachers on safe Evangelical mark!
Leste in Value Debate on Our Country's pages where a Bore says about developments in the Norwegian Christianity from holding fast to Jesus and Paul teaching on this point. Has really opened up new theology, liberal theology and sin. By allowed remarriage, especially remarriage preachers are more serious than anything else.
Drilling: "I remember well that was the 50's knew the names of the few priests who were divorced. And right up to the 70 years it could be difficult for a divorced and re-married priest to hold an office. Today the question is mostly undramatic. A few years ago, Bishop Per Oskar Kjølås divorced and married again - without specific reactions. When divorce occurs in the immediate family, we have also seen how theologians change stance
Several priests have over the years refused to devote divorced, and have argued that Jesus and Paul forbids remarriage. Other priests have tried to distinguish between the guilty and the innocent party, and has been willing to devote the innocent party. More and more people find it difficult - if not impossible - to cast such judgment. "
How can such. Find Jarle Sele in the newspaper Norway today defend the bishop when he is completely open to the gjengiftetde January Hanvold?
I heard on Radio Norway debate program on Friday 19 December where Finn Jarle Sele supported the new bishop in college, Stein Reinertsen in his practice of not devoting divorced. But how can Sele simultaneously cooperate and accept other divorced and gjengiftetde? It is a mystery to me and then runs over a double game. I do not accept remarriage, much less that ministers are re-married as believers. And they work I do not, but warns the driver when they sin, judgment and apostasy in the church of God which Achan, Ananias, Sapphira, and many others have done before them.
Thanks to Pastor Jan Aage Torp who accused me of being in ledertog with Two Shoes!
It is strange accusations, but in fact Pastor Jan Aage Torp accused me of being in ledertog with moving two shoes and the Roman Catholic Church when I do not accept the remarriage of believers. And is 100% opposed to divorced and gjengiftetde shall hold an office or service in the church of God. I've never been Roman Catholic or had anything to do two shoes. But what Torp has enlightened me with their accusations that both have said many good things and the right to say what the New Testament teaches about divorce and remarriage.
This accuses Torp me that is 100% lies, false accusations and taken out of his evil and perverse mind: "I recently discovered the blog of Jan-Kåre Christensen, a Pentecostal preacher running mate buses near our home in Southern Nordstrand in Oslo. His bus-driving, I appreciate. Worse enough with his scribblings, where Espen Ottosen raised, and where he calls Emanuel Minos, Jan Hanvold & me for "wolves in sheep's clothing", "opening doors for demons" and he declares leprosy with King Uzziah ... I do not accept this Type mention of myself, nor of others. We should all work together to set a standard for acceptable and honorable mention, regardless of opinions. I smile not curses, but let me tell you that I do not lose sleep either night. It may be helpful to know tankegrumset happening in the environment that I've uncovered in this blog post. On his website Christensen posted a link to a text from "Two Shoes", a group of Norwegian soil working for the restoration of marriage - which in principle is good - but that parallel work by prayer and info pieces demolition of marriage in which the One or both remarriage. This is to some degree a Roman Catholic view, but really much, much worse, because in "Two Shoes", efforts are being targeted by "prayers" that are nothing less than curses. Christensen has posted on his site a text which has been translated into Norwegian by the leader of this group. The link contains only a tiny part of the mind in "Two Shoes", which I know very well from real life. "
Since Pastor, or to use the correct term for him. The false apostle January Aage Torp said I stand in ledertog with both the one and the other, I want to take in some of what's on the homepage of the two shoes. Read and study yourself and compare it with the scriptures, like those in Berea.
Acts 17. 11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness, and searched the scriptures daily whether it was just as it was told them.
Here are some excerpts of what two shoes writes on its website as opposed to Bishop College Reinertsen also justifies why they are against remarriage. There will never be able to walk the church of God opens up for remarriage of believers when it is against what the Apostle Paul and what Jesus taught and taught.
Nothing but the truth!
"Nothing but he truth" Covenant keepers Canada-autumn 2007 Volume 10, no 3
This spring I was in Waterloo for a marriage conference hosted by NAME
Canada.
Leo Godzich, who always has great insights, shared the following. "One of the biggest
tragedies in the world today is that people forget that in every person there
an expression of God. This means that human beings express something special from God
that can only be expressed through the individual. You can ask the Christians
why they are against abortion and most will say because they are against murder and there is a good
reason, but not the main reason. The main reason that we should be
against abortion is that the image of God that the person should express did not
be expressed! "
The values of marriage receives a new content, think so!
Leo's words gave me a revelation. Even how tragic it is that a tiny human being
killed, however, the greatest tragedy that the image was destroyed. Satan attacks
people to frame God and His kingdom. If that person is killed as wiper Satan
out the image of God should be expressed through this man. He
destroys God's purpose as just the man to express and complement. Do
that this is more about God than about the people?
We are so self-absorbed that we only see that abortion is about people. It touches
feelings because it could have been us. We are hurt and disappointed because it could have been
someone we love. We look at abortion from our human side, physical rather than seeing abortion
from an eternity and God's viewpoint.
As soon as I began to compare this with marriage and divorce.
Satan attacks and destroys marriages owing to what they represent. But how many
humans actually see the truly divine values in a marriage? While I
another was with my wife so I thought of marriage as an important value because
our own happiness. Beyond that, it was something that was ordained of God to defend
family. My perspective on marriage has widened after I was divorced. I looked at
marriage as a place where I was trained to make change, to have intimacy, victim
, Security and much more. All this is right, but God taught me more. I discovered that
marriage is an image of God, an image of the eternal sacrificial love that
Jesus has for each of us. Leo's illustration awakened this again to live in me.
What we will show the world when it shows the divorce statistics over 50%? What we say
Jesus at this? When we stand in faith for our spouses and our families as regards the
more than our own happiness and joy, we think it's more than what is right and wrong
and our loved one's salvation. Even if we never get to see the restoration of our families, so show
we are the world Jesus unmerited love for his bride! Surrender to the will of God is
important in our covenant relationship with the Father, just as Jesus' death shows
Father's covenant relationship with us.
Our family compass.
Where were we wrong the way in this case?
Most have changed forever the fear of humanism. Humanism has become god
for many in our culture though humanists do not see themselves as religious. Spring
fallen nature, imagines himself that I know what is right and wrong, I can find out
of my destiny. The root of this attitude is pride. This pride showed
the first time in the Garden of Eden.
Satan's lies and pride Dad told Eva that she knew best, and Adam came
Eva's advice. When this happened lost humanity moral direction pass completely.
The compass needle always points north. No matter where you are in the world you can orient
after the compass needle because it always, everywhere on the globe pointing north. This makes
The travelers get help to find their destination. The truth is our eternal compass
showing us the direction and helps us to find our destination. The truth is
the eternal perspective
that we should live our lives in accordance with. The truth will always point in one direction, namely
against God. If we look up / search the encyclopaedia: "Encarta" God is the first word
that pops up when you search the word truth. It's a great reminder of what
truth is and where to find it. The truth is about God!
Humanism compass, however, will always point to the man himself; marriage
to meet my needs and makes me happy!
Truth tells us that marriage is a covenant that reflects God's love for
each individual. A Christian's life will always point to God and his eternal
truth, Thy kingdom come, may God get the glory, the God's will be done here and now God knows best
He is Lord, He is my only resource.
It is interesting to notice that there is a point where the compass needle exits
of focus. It is on the north pole of the target. When we arrive at the North Pole will not
Compass can help. Likewise with God. When we come to heaven
we do not need God's direction anymore when we are together for him, then we are one with
him in his perfect truth.
But before we get to heaven is truth compass needle that will guide us as we
do not go our way.
One reason to build.
In this teaching of Leo I have spent much time thinking through what it
This means that the truth will guide us in our lives and also what it means for us who are in faith
for our marriage. Unwavering came to me. Something is unwavering when it is safe, solid and
unchangeable. It is the truth that we must build our marriages.
Jesus speaks about it in Matt.7 0.24 to 27:
"So - everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a hen
wise man, which built his house upon a rock. And the rain descended, and
floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house. And it fell not, for
it was founded upon a rock. But the one who hears these words of mine and doeth them not,
He is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. And the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and
great was the fall. "
This foundation, Jesus' words and examples, they will never change. They stand for ever
time!
We can be confident because Jesus said, "But he who sent me is true, and
I've heard of him, I speak to the world. "Joh.8, 26 We know that what God says is
truth, "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man as
he should repent. "
4 Mos.23, 19
Our circumstances often go against what is written in the Word. The date of payment is
come and God has not made money. My spouse says he / she does not
come back even if God has spoken that to happen. We can mention several things,
the list can be long. What do I do when circumstances say anything other than Word?
The choice
When we face such circumstances that contradict the Word we must make our choice.
These choices will challenge our soul, our emotions and our intellect. Our eyes and
ears tell us that it is impossible. Our feelings cry that it's too hard for us. We
come quickly to the conclusion that it will never happen. And again, we have been
anthropocentric and humanistic and listening to our human advice. I pride shout
our souls that we know best!
And our humanistic compass gets completely out of direction.
Or we can choose to believe God's truth is revealed and spoken to us, and go in
obedience in spite of what we see, feel or think. This is the essence of faith.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Heb.11: 1
Which builder would you be? One who builds a beautiful house on the sand watching
nice,
feels comfortable and like everyone around you says will stand?
Or are you of those who want to build a building on a rock, a building that is
standing and not fall if the storm comes? Search the truth, reach for it and pray
God will reveal it to you. Ask God to give you an eternal and divine perspective of
your life and your marriage. Finally, we see that Jesus gives a wonderful promise to those who
seeking the truth. There we read in Joh.8, 31: "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. "Believe me, freedom is good.
