Sarah Palin, husband Todd, are divorcing

I can only speak of my experience with divorce. My initial reaction wasn't joy. It feels like a personal failure, and it's a huge change in your personal life, and it up ends things that seemed like long term plans. Once I made the adjustment to the new normal, I think I was a happier person. While there was a time in that relationship where we were both happy, there came a time when neither of us were. It wasn't a bad divorce. We agreed on how to split everything up without involving lawyers. We always treated each other with respect, and neither harbors any ill will toward the other. I'm more than content with my life since the split. I think she'd say the same.

Good for you Mule. As another poster mentioned, it's not good to stay in an unhappy Marriage. My point was to say no one is ever "happy" over the prospect of Divorce. But as you said, in time you can learn to heal from it.

Oh so I CAN stone my wife to death because she surely wasn’t a virgin when we married?

Like I said boom, since you neither study nor understand Almighty God's word, you have no idea what you're talking about.

If you are truly interested in being informed about Old Testament scripture, find a good Bible study. I just know you aren't really interested so I'm not going to engage you on this.

He obviously doesn't understand what the Old Testament or New Testament means. He definitely doesn't understand why Jesus was crucified nor what changed after it happened.

Nope. 36 years of Marriage going on 37 in January. Not all happy...but rewarding.
Good for you. I think if someone views marriage as something that has to be 100% glee 100% of the time, they are going to be disappointed. I'm over 9 years into marriage #2, and this is my current wife's second time around as well. I think we both learned a lot from our first marriages, and I think that's helped us talk through things that could have created problems. My dad used to always ask why I had to learn things the hard way when I was a kid. I guess that trait continued into adulthood, at least for a little while.

If I thought he was truly intetested in learning 30 CAT I'd be happy to help, but as I said he's really not interested. Him trying to act like he knows though is worse. He's wildy uninformed, and universally incorrect.

Some second Marriages are like yours is Mule...and others end in disaster similar to previous ones. Marriage is about learning, understanding, acceptance, and above all "giving". You cease to have your priorities in a good Marriage. Your priority is making her happy. Vice versa.

In order for that to work you have to listen. Be willing to listen, learn, accept, give and Love. Works everytime it's tried.

This explains why the Donald has been married so many times. Not exactly things he's capable of.

Fingers crossed for Melanie.

By all accounts he is happily Married to Melania. I do know they let Barron live and Melania didn't have him sliced up like a piece of salami two minutes before he was born.

I suppose YOU would have paid to see that? Using taxpayer's funds no doubt. [eyeroll]

Wonder how many he had sliced up along the way?

We may never know.

Lol, they just need to run on abolishing roe vs. wade, they act like abortion was invented by Obama. Legislate wombs not weapons, they imagine they are a majority I guess.

There's little doubt about that.

A bit of advice for you Leftists so desperate to defeat Trump....

In battle, in order to win you have to defeat your opponent with a superior battle plan. You folks on the Left constantly attacking Trump personally will continue to fail because no one thinks Trump's a Saint...particularly those who voted for him.

So you can just forget about trying to shame Trump voters or embarrassing them by attacking who Trump slept with, who's Pussy he grabbed, how many Porno sluts he paid off yada...yada...yada...

If you really are serious about beating "Orange man bad" you better come up with some better policies. He's kicking your asses in the courts, on Wall street, on K street, on sea, in the air, overseas, inner cities, on the border with Mexico, on energy, on taxes, on regulations, in shopping malls, in bowling alleys, anywhere people who make the country work congregate.

You all are trying to make Trump out to be some sort of reprobate in a reprobate culture! No one cares. If you really want to get rid of this guy, you'd better come up with a plan that beats 3.6% unemployment, record low minority unemployment, growing 401Ks, raises on good paying jobs and keeping your gasoline powered automobiles.

I don't think you Socialists can do that, but unless or until you do, forget about beating him by trying to shame him or his voters. You're just spittin' into the wind.

You're right. I can't address it. You're much too informed for me to even try to correct your well reasoned understanding of something you are 100% clueless on!

I'm not wasting my time on your paucity of intellect.

How does Paul refer to Jesus in his epistles

The question is irrelevant. Jesus by your own admission and belief never existed. Therefore whatever Paul called him never actually happened in your world.

I don't know why I'm giving them advice they'll never follow 30CAT (or can't)? They're too full of hatred to figure out a better way to beat Trump.

Guess I'm channelling my inner @countryroads89 giving folks advice I know they should follow. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m saying that Paul referred to Jesus as a celestial being in his epistles, and makes the inference that he never met or witnessed him.

This is a critical fact - if true - because it points to the possibility of the scriptures being used to place a mythical creature in a historical context. At the very least, it shows there being multiple ideas of the form of and existence of Jesus within one disciple.

You're the one who claims to be a Christian but votes for the guy who doesn’t resemble Christianity at all. Sorry.

You continue to show your ignorance of what you claim you've read. I don't mean this to be mean Spirited because I sincerely believe YOU think you are correct but you are sadly misinformed. Let me just leave it at this. Paul spent the later years of his Life spreading the Gospel and testifying to what he saw with his own eyes as Christ's Death and resurrection.

In fact he died a horrible Martyrs death for his refusal to deny what he had witnessed personally! In fact all of the Apostles (except for John) met the same terrible fate all for refusing to deny their witness to Christ!

Again, if you are sincere about all of this, my strong suggestion to you is to get into a good Bible study. Not only is that an excellent way for you to improve your weak understanding of actual recorded history, but you may also come to a better understanding of just who Jesus really is.

OK boom, (I'm only doing this because I said I would and to show you why we Christians consider Almighty God's words about the sanctity of Life so vital) here is a link to the thread where I answered @countryroads89's complaint that Christians don't follow what the Bible teaches when it comes to their support for Trump.

So I took Scripture which instructs us on Almighty God's most important promise to us....Life.....everlasting. Read this and then decide if the Bible is silent or contradictory on Human Life?

Boomer in all candor Dude, what part of my advice to you in post #231 did you NOT understand? Are you seriously implying that by my responding to any of your questions it's going to change your disbelieving mind?

Therefore, if you are sincere about being informed & accurate in your Biblical connotations or wanting answers to your obvious confusion, wouldn't a well balanced Bible study be the most logical option freely available and readily accessible to settle your inquiries?

I require no further responses from YOU Sir pursuant your most intemperate Biblical inquisitions from your sedentary position! [winking]

I’ll say this:

There is a massive difference between a Bible study and studying the Bible. I’ve done both.
 
As you can see, you backed him in to a corner and he has decided to stop fighting and claim victory. Typical.

Why don't YOU use your well informed "sober" Biblical extrapolations and help your fellow Leftist resolve his discombobulated exegesis?
