Divorce is allowed?!?

Hi guys, need help here. I am browsing on the net and found an interesting topic about divorce and remarry. One thing that ruins my innocent mind is this:


God Allows an Exception to the General Rule When One's Spouse Has Been Guilty of Fornication.

This exception is clearly stated in Matthew 19:9 (and 5:32). 
"Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery" ("saving for the cause of fornication" - Matt. 5:32). 
The question originally asked Jesus concerned the grounds or cause for which a man may divorce his wife (v3). In v9 Jesus clearly says there is no acceptable cause except if ones companion has been guilty of fornication. 
Unlike the Mosaic Law, which Jesus admits tolerated divorce and remarriage for other causes, Jesus' teaching allows one and only one cause. 
Note that the only one who is granted the right to divorce and remarry without being guilty of sin is the one who has been sinned against by his/her companion who committed fornication.


What do you think guys? Answers please?!

    In my opinion:

    The purpose of marriage and everything else is for the sake of God. God made men and women in the purpose of marriage. So if the reason for divorce is for the sake of God, or when marriage is breaking your relationship with God, divorce is required. Re-marriage is good if its for the sake of God. Women were made for men.

    Gen. 2:18, 21-24

    The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him'...and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.

    Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man.' For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

    That really depends on what your Christian sub-religion's views on divorce. In Catholic Church, church authorities never give the sanction of divorce to troubled couples.

    This is interesting and it arouses a review on Catholic teachings regarding marriage.

My make up mentor

I am not a make up artist nor an expert in this field. I just learned my make up skills through this mentor I had – Michelle Phan. I found her while surfing on the net – YouTube to be exact. One day after submitting my home exam to our professor via email, I was just browsing and browsing on the net. There was nothing to search in particular. Then I browsed on YouTube and found her video. This video is entitled “Seductive Vampire”. I was so fascinated with her step by step tutorial and it was amazing. From then on, I followed her channel and watched all the videos on it everytime I find time. And now I am following her updates and new video posts for more tutorials. I even copied one of her make up styles during one of our events in church. Thanks to her because I can now put on make up well on my face and also be able to do on others. I can now even try on other styles on my own. Her video tutorials are very great. P.S. I am not her friend nor has any personal relationship with he

Monthly Ouch!!!

This topic may sound too 'Eww' for this blog but as of now, I am experiencing the most severe menstrual cramps of all my life – leg pain! From the very first day of my first mens years ago, I usually have menstrual cramps and it is back pain. It is almost every month and sometimes accompanied by headache and fatigue. But now, actually since last month, my cramp goes down to my legs plus headache! I sometimes cannot walk normally because of this and I easily gets tired than ever! My boyfriend sometimes gets irritated because I always find ways to have take seat while we are hanging out. I did some research through my best friend Google and read a lot articles about menstrual cramps on leg pain and most of its symptoms match with my experience. And the two main cause of it are DEHYDRATION and LACK OF IRON in the body. Oh well I guess it is now clear to me why I am experiencing these cramps every month. From now on, I will carefully watch my diet, making sure I have enough iron
