[Doc Holliday]

Doc Im here and am going to work.I just got on here and will respond tonight pal.My mother-in-law is a United Baptist and is 85 years old will not go anywhere else and will tell you she has never been saved.I want to talk about how they view divorse.You can be forgiven and go to heaven but you can,t join their church,,later my ride is honking.

Look forward to it, always enjoy learning new view points torwards and about religion.

Southern Baptist will not allow me to be a Deacon because I am divorced but I am a member, became one after my divorce. I did nothing to cause my divorce, did not choose nor wanted it, had no choice, I made one major mistake allowed my love for someone to blind my vision, and didn't see the true person that i had hoped I would spend the rest of my life with. However she decided that she would rather spend her time with anyone who would lay with her, that drugs and alcohol were more important to her than our pledge to one another. So she skipped out with the money, the memories and moved on to whom ever she could convince to bed her after a few hours at which ever bar she was hanging out.
Now does that mean I am a sinner because the person i wanted to spend the rest of life with decided that she would rather have a new flavor of the night rather than being with one? Does that make me unworthy because of her choice? Ky is a no fault divorce state which means nothing you did in or during the marriage really matters. So she decided to become a whore or just got tired of hiding the fact from me, and due to this I am judged by many associations as being a sinner and could not be a member, my own church says that I could never become a deacon. That if I were to remarry then I would be committing adultery.

The Bible says that no man should or can judge another yet church's and denominations do, this is the sort of hypocrisy which drives many from the church.

Religion is not a bad thing but interpretation and translation over 2 thousand years, allows for many misunderstandings.

Words and their meanings sometime change over time, in the 1940's gay meant you were happy, and fag was a cigarette, and it still means cigarette in Europe.

Overtime what have we lost of misinterpreted?

I don't claim to have any answers yet I will say and stand by how I feel, man is mortal, he make mistakes everyday of his life, and if you take a room full of people and whisper something into one person ear and they proceed to pass it along to the rest of the room, by the time you get to the end, the original statement will be altered to the point where it may not even remotely be similar to the outcome.

So the Bible could have had things both added and deleted overtime. Whos to say?
