It'd be great to have some advice from a pastor or minister...how would God go about comforting people experiencing these kinds of troubles?
Jesus never had a spouse; perhaps it isn't the end of the world for them to wind up alone, following the Word of God?How would God comfort people going through bad relationships?
From what I can understand I believe God would prefer there no divorce, argument, or other miseries. Where God lives in heaven there are no miseries such as disease, argument, old age or death. God would prefer we have no miseries world-over which would mean heaven on earth. But, this is the material existence and so there are those who do not remember God nor believe in Him. Those who understand God in this world can work towards heaven on earth through their employment and through there devotional activities such as prayer.
Disagreements lead to argument. As arguments get worse bitter feelings may develop. As bitter feelings develop more and more there is the possibility of hatred developing. Therefore, we need to work on these disagreements. We need to invite God into all discussion and debate. When we turn to God as the ultimate authority then this should help to end all disagreements.How would God comfort people going through bad relationships?
The Spirit of Jesus in you can help you endure hard times, relationships being one for example. Christ Spirit in us give us hope that things can get better. Having enduring patience is a gift of the Spirit and knowing that Jesus Christ will make things better is part of that.
I'm not a pastor, but I'll try to help XD.
Taking vows of celibacy is not following the Word of God in any way, shape, or form. Some people do wind up alone, but God wants us to have companionship. We, as human beings, also tend to want companionship.
Yes, divorce is a sin. But there are no sins that Jesus didn't die for. He died for all sins. Remember that He died even for Barabbas. And remember that the one who accepted Christ with his last breaths went to Heaven with Jesus. There are no sins under the sun that Jesus didn't fully pay for.
When your parents accept Christ into their hearts, all their sins are forgiven (past, present, and future).
Rest in Jesus XD.
Peace out.
Just tell them you would be praying for them.
And actually God does know what a bad relationship with others is like. Man ditched him big time! But God still stuck with our species. Maybe you could tell the people to work things out. And actually God doesn't like divorces at all. If you want to hear a sermon on the subject, let me know...
he wouldn't. We are to choose our paths. Life is filled with lessons every day. It is how the people decide to handle it. God will not guide,talk or praise anyone. That is why so many senseless deaths occur, there is No One to stop them.
Answering your first question: By putting others in your life that can help you through the bad relationship. Giving you great other friends to rely on.
He would probably stone them for divorcing.
With His wonderful Word and through your friends
Perhaps the story of Job is a good place to start.
In ancient times, east of Palestine, there lived a righteous man by the name of Job. He was a just and good man, who always strove to please God throughout his life. The Lord rewarded him for his piety with great wealth. He had many hundreds of large and thousands of small cattle. His large and close family of seven sons and three daughters comforted him.
But the Devil was jealous of Job. He began to vilify him before God, ';Doth Job fear God for nothing?... But put forth Thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse Thee to Thy face.'; Then God, in order to reveal to all how faithful Job was to Him and in order to teach people patience in their sufferings, permitted the Devil to take away all of Job鈥檚 possessions. One day robbers came and drove away all his cattle, slew his servants, and a terrible tornado from the desert destroyed the house in which Job鈥檚 children had gathered together, killing them all. Job not only did not complain against God, but he said, ';God gave, and God hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.';
The Devil, put to shame, was not satisfied with this. Again he began to slander Job, ';All a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth Thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh (that is, strike him down with disease), and he will curse Thee to Thy face.'; God permitted the Devil to deprive Job even of his health, and Job was stricken with the most terrible disease 鈥?leprosy. Then even his wife began to persuade him to complain against God. His friends, instead of consolation, only further grieved the innocent sufferer with their unjust suspicions. But Job remained firm, did not lose hope in the mercy of God and only begged the Lord to testify that he was suffering in innocence.
After this, God, having shown to all the example of devotion and long-suffering in His servant Job, appeared Himself and commanded his friends, who had regarded Job as a great sinner, to ask for prayers from him for themselves. God rewarded His faithful servant. Job regained his health. He had seven more sons and three daughters, gained back twice as much cattle as he had before, and lived another one hundred and forty years in honor, quietly, piously and happily.
The story of long-suffering Job teaches us that God sends misfortunes not just for sins, but that sometimes God sends misfortunes even to the righteous for an even greater confirmation in goodness. The story of the life of Job also reveals to us that earthly welfare does not always accompany a virtuous life for men and teaches us also to be sympathetic to those in misfortune.
To me, the story of Job demonstrates that not only does Job have faith in the Lord, but that the Lord's faith in Job is even greater.
Whatever happens, the best thing one can do in this situation is to give sympathy and show patience, not take sides, understanding that, regardless of the outcome, all will be as it should be, and that even suffering is limited.
