If there is wine you should go.
If not, you might consider that divorce is a social stigma not a biblical pall.
She is your sister, go and support her.
Love and support your sister...seems she needs something stable in her life....you are not sinning you are letting her know you are always someone she can count on....but, if she asks you for advise always speak the truth in love!!
Always...speak with wisdom and pray with her. The greatest of these is LOVE!
OMG! My girlfriend says that.
Your premise is faulty...God said to make NO vows to anyone, even to Him...
My friend’s Godson was getting married in a Methodist church and he is Catholic, my friend threatened not to go and I told her if she didn’t, I wouldn’t speak to her ever again.
As his Godmother, I felt she had every right to tell him where she thought he was going wrong and she could pray for him but if he didn’t change his mind then to gracefully accept his decision, and put him in God’s hands.
Your a twit....everybody knows cheeseballs is where it is at!! Because where there is cheeseballs there is always
Y-M-C-A Y-M-C-A
go to the wedding... and remember not to hold unChristians to the same standards as Christians...
Of course you should go....that you would even consider not going is disturbing and makes me think you may be a little self-rightous
Enjoy the food!
If it is a Jewish wedding, bring a doggy bag. Lots of smoked fish, bagels, tuna salad, knishes, kreplach, and brisket.
I ate the full length of a 30 foot food table at my wedding.
Yeah, I did dance with the bride, my wife, her mother (the Krupman curse), my mother and sister.
But then, it was back to the food table. I knew that my wife couldn’t cook and that this was the last good meal I would have for years (and it was).
Doesn't matter if it's Duck under Glass, Prime Rib, sliced Deli Ham on a dried out dinner roll, or Banquet Fried Chicken, as long as you drink plenty of the wine first...
The Pharisees Wanted to Trap Christ
The Pharisees wanted to accuse Jesus of rebelling against the Roman Empire:
* This [the Pharisees] said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. John 8:6
Rome had revoked the Jews' authority to put a criminal to death (John 18:31). A straight-forward answer to the Pharisees would have brought Jesus into premature conflict with Rome before His "hour had come." Jesus solved this problem stating, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first" (John 8:7). Christ often frustrated the Pharisees giving clever answers that thwarted their wicked intentions (Mat. 22:15-22; 21:21-27; Mark 12:13-17; Luke 20:20-26).
So in context, your scripture is not exactly relevant here. Jesus did not take judgment from man. Few would argue otherwise.
What we do have directly from Jesus is this...
"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'[b] But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.
That said, attending the wedding is not doing any of the above. Go support your sister in love, hold your tongue for reasons of love. We are to judge (...he who is spiritual judges all things... 1 Cor. 2:15), but also forgive(trespasses against us).
Banquest Fried Chicken....oooh sooo many memories!
;)
Jesus didn't meet anyone who wasn't a sinner.
I'm more concerned that you would even ask the question. You may need therapy. Your nose is so far in the air I can see your boogers.
It might be different if you owed the bridegroom money you couldn't pay or something like that. If your sister invited you, go, and try to have fun.
Go to your sister’s marriage. In doing so, you manifesting your love and support for her, in spite of any faults or errors on her part.
I wrote “most of His time” on purpose because He wasn’t always with people.
Considering that Jesus was born and raised as a practicing Jew and remained so his whole life, and since divorce is not a sin, I think Jesus would go. jmo
My understanding is that it is for God to punish our brothers and sisters as He sees fit. Go to the wedding.
Is she marrying a man, or another woman?
“Judge not, that ye be not judged (Matthew 7:1).”
“Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience”
