hi allan,this was a very well written article.these are not my own personal beliefs, as an example; why would a loving God want a woman and man stay together and not divorce if they were harming each other verbally or physically, and their children were negatively affected? it takes less than 10 minutes to get married, and sometimes a couple of years, as with myself, to get divorced, causing much pain and suffering to all?God knows my heart and soul, and He loves me, divorced or not.i think this article could have been written in 2 parts so it wouldn't be too long.the content didn't impress upon me, but the style of writing did.i hope you continue writing,welcome to searchwarp,best regard,sue thomHi Susan
If you check some of my other articles you may get some of the answers to your questions. We are now living in a world whose ruler is Satan the Devil (check my other articles) however here are a few thoughts. Marriage was provided because it is the ideal arrangement and provides the best climate for raising children. Children are entitled to a father and mother that loves them. A failure in this direction affects the children. Satan has tried to make marriage appear to be a failure. God foreknew that Adam and Eve's rebellion would bring tribulation but this is not a failure of marriage. I got married in 1950. fortunately I began my Bible studies in 1951. We had problems, but we applied the Bible's counsel and this lead to a happy marriage. Because of the failure of the churches to build faith and knowledge into people humanity has had these problem and God is holding them accountable. Jehovah God understands the problems that humans face and and also the reasons why they have failed therefore persons like yourself are not being condemned by God. And rest assured that God understands the way you feel. One of the reasons why God had the Bible written was to give us help to cope while we are living in this unhappy situation. As you can see divorce is allowable under certain conditions.
(Matthew 19:9) . . .I say to YOU that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.”
The innocent party is free to marry. But if no fornication has occurred Legal separation is permitted.
If subsequently one of the parties commits fornication the Bible instruction permits the innocent party to marriage.
(1 Corinthians 7:10-11) . . .To the married people I give instructions, yet not I but the Lord, that a wife should not depart from her husband; 11 but if she should actually depart, let her remain unmarried or else make up again with her husband; and a husband should not leave his wife. . .
We show our love for God by obdience
(1 John 5:3) For this is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments; and yet his commandments are not burdensome.
However as you can see we need accurate knowledge to apply God's commands. God is having a special message today to help people at (Matt 24:14) The articles on my site will help you in that direction.
Thank you for taking the trouble to repond and I will try to help you if you need answers to your questions.

Well Allan as I understand it all woman carry one significant DNA related to a woman regardless of race, nation origin. I would ppropbably would ahve broken this information down for the internet into a series. Some just do nto have the patience or time to read lengthy articles even though it may be reuired to make the point. Yet well done.Hi Robert Melaccio.Sr
I appreciate your comment and I agree.
I had to make a decision and took the line that if they were sufficiently interested to make an effort to get a comprehensive answer. they would read .
Some of my articles are very long and yet some readers have waded to the end and so I feel I am on the right track. I try to prove my case so that persons will not just consider that it is just someones opinion.
regards
Allan GordonYes Allan, sometimes we must include to make the point. However, the facts are when over two pages the majority do not read. I have the same issue so I try to condense as much as possible.Robert Melaccio SR
Thanks there is just one pointg to consider. If they read two pages and have had enough they know where the information is and they can always return at another time and pick up where they left off, I have had some do that.
AllanGood point. I didn;lt realize they did. Most have told me the same, to keep it short. However, if interesting enough I guess that will draw them back. Thanks.I think you are referring to the mitochondrial DNA, and the notion of "Mitochondrial Eve".Mitochondria have their own genetic code separate from our human genome, and we inherit our mitochondrial DNA only from the mitochondria of our mothers (the mitochondria present in the egg cell). As a result, mitochondrial DNA can be used to look back along the maternal line.All human mitochondrial DNA that exists today can be traced back along the maternal line to a single, distant, ancestor - referred to as Mitochondrial Eve.However, this individual was not the only woman in existence in that ancient time, and was not contemporary with y-chromosomal Adam (the equivalent along the male line, which is carried through the y-chromosome rather than through mitochondria).
This article demonstrates a great many misunderstandings about evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection.To highlight just a few of the misunderstandings about evolution:"if evolution was true then the population growth would have been so great that we would probably have populated the entire solar system by now"- no, evolution (by natural selection) is about competition. It predicts that availablity of food will restrict population growth - populations cannot grow beyond the availability of food, because starvation will begin to kill more and more individuals before they can reproduce, eventually leading to a mortality rate as high as the birth rate, leading to a stable population (although other factors will come in to play as well, such as competition with other species).The extremely rapid human population increases of recent years are possible only because of our advanced farming methods, medical advances and ability to make new areas hospitable. If the population grows at the current rate, but our ability to produce food does not increase, then we will soon reach a point where population growth is checked by starvation.Humans can reproduce with apes, since humans ARE apes. Humans may be able to reproduce with non-human apes, although it is still unknown (and there are some reasons why it might not be possible - chimps have very similar DNA to us, but a different number of chromosomes for example)."Logically if we go back in time we find less and less damage done to the DNA until we should arrive at a time when the first humans had very little damage to their DNA"- this is completely false from a scientific perspective. Firstly, DNA changes caused by radiation etc are only passed on if they occur in the reproductive cells (eggs / sperm). If the changes so caused reduce the offspring's ability to survive, the changed DNA will be eliminated by natural selection. DNA damage builds up over time within an individual, it does not build up over time between generations due to natural selection.Many churches (the Church of England and the Catholic Church as just two examples), and ALL reputable scientific institutions, accept evolution. The evidence for it is overwhelming.
