I know! Lots of hearts are broken, I'm sure. Still, God Bless them!

1 Corinthians 7: 10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

amazing how anyone can twist the Bible to get what they want out of it.

We are not the ones to judge people. Only God knows our hearts. We make tons of mistakes and if we make a list of them...We will realize that we have to clean ourselves first. Judging others is 'NOT OUR JOB'.

Read Mathew 7:1-6

I am very disappointed at the fact that some "christian" artist live their lives as if they were part of this world! How can you say that you live your life for God and do something completely opposite of Gods word? What ever happend to righteousness, holiness, being set apart? Marriage is no joke! They are living in sin! I am sorry but am I the only one who sees this?


Reply by Ro in Houston @ 22:55 on Jan 10 2007

What happened to not judging others... if our lives were as public as theirs.... God Bless Nic & Jaci, I get so sick of so many "Christians" being so caught up in religion!

Reply by Krisztina in Hungary @ 12:22 on Jan 11 2007

You can not know the reason of Jaci's divorce. I know that God forgive us the bad things we do and i belive that God had a good plan for Nic and Jaci's life.
And one more thing. Imagine that my grandfather had divorced from his first wife...because of things. And then he met with my grandmother, and they married and they had 4 children, the first is my father. And they had a very blessed life in here in the Earth, and have now in the Heaven.

where do you get your information that they were living in sin?

YAY I love Jaci and Nic's music! I'm so happy for both of them!

Wow second marriage for Jaci huh......hopefully she don't leave him too.


Reply by Ruth in C.A. @ 20:09 on Jan 10 2007

Not that it's any bodies buiness, but dose any body know why her first marriage didn't work out? and please remember there TWO sides to a story when it comes to marriage. Go to Jaci's web site she was really torn up about the whole situation. We don't know what happend, and even if you think you do ask your self is that really what happend. Mean while we should still respect and pray for jaci and nic.

HOW CAN SOME OF YOU BE SO JUDGEMENTAL ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND CALL OUT THEIR SIN, TRY AND QUOTE BIBLE SCRIPTURE LIKE YOUR THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS IT? WHY CANT YOU JUST KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND PRAY FOR THEM INSTEAD OF JUDGING THEM? KNOW ONE BUT GOD KNOWS THE REASONS FOR THEIR ACTIONS. AND ITS NOT UP TO YOU TO SEND THEM TO HELL.



Posted by LOVER21 in CALI @ 21:00 on Jan 11 2007

IF ANY ONE OF OUR LIVES WERE PUT UNDER A SCOPE WE WOULD ALL SEE HOW IMPERFECT EVERYONE IS. WE ALL HAVE SIN AND ALL FALL SHORT OF GODS GLORY. THATS WHY WHEN WE ASK TO SEE HIS GLORY HE SHOWS US HIS MERCY. YOU TALK ABOUT NIC AND JACI LIKE THEY HAVE DISRESPECTED YOU, AND ALL THEY HAVE DONE AND ARE STILL DOING IS TRY TO BRING A LITTLE HOPE AND LOVE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING.


Reply by Leah in Central California @ 20:59 on Jan 16 2007

It's not that we are putting anyone under any unreasonable judgement. We have to uphold God's commandments and hold other people to it as well. God has very strict commandments about marriage and reasons for divorce.

Reply by Leah in Central California @ 20:00 on Jan 18 2007

He hates it and there are only two reasons for divorce that is clear in the New Testament and that is for adultery or abandonment. I am not talking about for unbelievers, God is the judge of them. When someone is a brother or sister in the Lord, we can judge them. God instructs us to do so because He says if we cannot judge amongst ourselves, how can we judge the world at the end of days?


Posted by Danny in Miami, Fl @ 08:48 on Jan 12 2007

I already see some pathetic comments. If you dont know the facts, dont make any uneducated comments, and I'm sure most dont. Its the reason most nonbelievers dont want to be Christians. So quick to judge and difficult to forgive.



Posted by Darin in Louisville, KY @ 00:42 on Jan 13 2007

To the one's who have a problem with this marriage and what Jaci has done, have you ever sinned?



Posted by Anna in Los Angeles, CA @ 09:13 on Jan 13 2007

yea, it's no wonder people want to follow Christianity. Who wants to follow in such judgmental lifestyle?



Posted by Rach in Ohio @ 21:00 on Jan 13 2007

I agree 100% with you Danny! I'm glad there are some Christians with common sense.



Posted by Jessica in Los Angeles, Ca. @ 20:15 on Jan 23 2007

I agree with Leah 100%. Jaci has been blessed with such a beautiful voice..I truly hope that she can draw closer to God as a result of all of this and stand by her faith. A few years ago, I was disappointed in her when I heard her on the radio on a Los Angeles spanish station and she said to them that she wasn't "that religious". That broke my heart that she couldn't stand firm in her faith. If her first marriage did end because of adultery, then all the blessings to her second marriage.


Reply by George @ 17:02 on Jan 24 2007

I don't get this. Christians are forever telling people that Christianity is not a religion, "it's a relationship" and that they're not religious. So if Jaci says that in a radio interview, how can you take that to mean she has lost her faith! Some of us really need to get off our religious high horses and leave people alone if we can't think of anything supportive or non-judgemental to say to them.

Reply by Leah in Central California @ 21:01 on Jan 25 2007

There is nothing wrong with religion. The Bible says pure undefiled religion is to take care of the widows and the fatherless. It is traditions of men that get in God's way. When in a position where you are famous and in the public eye, this lifestyle comes with MANY blessings. The cross they also must bear is the one that puts them under a microscope. They are given sooo much and to whom much is given, much is required! (God said it, not me!) They have such a tremendous level of influence and they have to be even more careful of the decisions they make becuase so many people look up to them......sorry, its part of it!

DON'T ANY OF YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO SIT AROUND A COMPUTER AND CRITICIZE OTHER PEOPLE. YOU SHOULD BE PRAYING OR READING THE BIBLE!!!!!


Reply by Erica in Hurst @ 16:12 on Jan 28 2007

THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HOW COME YOU ARE NOT READING THE BIBLE ALSO INSTEAD OF READING ALL THESE MESSAGES. THAT MEANS YOU ARE ALSO BEING NOISY IN SEEING WHAT IS GOING ON.

Posted by kristy in earth @ 21:00 on Jan 27 2007

well, after all the comments i read... i just want to say something. we christians are no one to judge nor predict someone else's future by what our eyes see. i dont take either side because simply, it's not my buisness. some here are saying that we have to help one another cuz we're brothers n stuff, but come on, it's not like we are close to Nic and Jaci. i think that role belongs to close friends and family. our role is just prayer, and believe that God makes everything beautiful after it's been torn apart. God uses our own mistakes to show us that he can make something good come out of it, and that's just between the person and God..no one else. every comment here is put according to each individual's conviction but doesn't necesseraly mean we are right. remember, we are no one to judge, because the only difference is that our actions are not put all over the internet. "let anyone who is free of sin throw the first stone"


Reply by Kriss in USA @ 20:35 on Mar 16 2007

Amen!!! Preach it!!!


Posted by a friend in here @ 04:36 on Feb 24 2007

wow! i can't believe i stumbled onto such a discussion. it's very sad... hard to believe this godly couple (and yes, they are my close friends) can be judged by so called "brothers" and "sisters" who have no earthly clue as to what has gone on in their lives to bring them to where they are right now. sorry to say kristy, seems like a lot of people have already thrown the first stone. i hope God is more forgiving than they are.



Posted by Diane in Chicago @ 13:44 on Mar 11 2007

We should not judge others- all have sinned and fell short of the glory of God. I am very happy for them and for their new life together. God has brought them together for a purpose and reason that none of us can know but God himself. When you are in love with someone and are loved so much in return it is a glorious and amazing thing. I wish them only happiness and joy in their marriage.

Posted by morticia117 in NYC @ 22:16 on Jun 19 2007

Are we not to judge the angels in teh last days as Paul has said. At least we are just talking about how 2 CCM musicians are in an adulterous relationship rather than stoning them like in the old times. Yes THEY ARE IN AN ADULTEROUS RELATIONSHIP.
God does forgive but in my opinion, they keep on sinning by mocking God. How? By spreading His word yet living an adulterous life, by continuing to stay together, etc....
I used to feel fine with them but now I feel sorry for them... Only God knows whats in it for them in the future...



Posted by Diana in Lockhart @ 04:40 on Jul 23 2007

How do you figure that THEY ARE IN AN ADULTEROUS RELATIONSHIP? Please enlighten me.



Posted by Iris Erielle Foss in Mancelona, Michigan @ 20:34 on Oct 2 2007

King David commited many sins, even murder! Yet, God considered him, " A man after God's own heart" He wrote many pages of the Bible and he will 4ever be known as " King David"

Look at Peter, He denied Jesus Christ as Lord, ( imagine that? ) He cut a soldiers ear off, Had a bad temper... Yet, God called him " The Rock" and to him He gave the keys of heaven.

Think about guys, time & time again we see in the Bible how God used ordinary poeople that sinned and failed...yet God has His way

Jaci & Nic have no clue who I am and prabably never will in this life time...But, I know 4 sure I'll see them both in My Fathers house.



Posted by Grandma Smith in NJ @ 06:51 on Oct 9 2007

Okay everybody, enough is enough. You all sound like wanna-be preachers. Jaci & Nic make a fabulous couple & we all know it. As for the adultery stuff, let God be the judge. Were any of you there to witness any of it? NO!! Remember.....here-say is just here-say!!! There are always three sides to the story. His side. Her side.....and the TRUTH. So in reference to Jaci's previous marriage. Maybe her first husband was a drunk. Maybe he
beat her. Who knows. Were you there? NO!!! Now she is with Nic!!! He seems extremely thrilled to be with her by looking at their wedding photo. So let them enjoy their marriage and you enjoy yours!! Lord Have Mercy on us ALL!!!



Posted by Friz in TN @ 07:10 on Nov 6 2007

I am kind of sad that we are forgetting that the word of God is spirit and life. What does the scripture say? we can't use the scripture in one situation and ignore it in the next. God hates Divorce (Malachi). That is why we should choose a life partner CAREFULLY not just based on our feelings because marriage is permanent and very spiritual. The two shall become one. What God has joined together let no man put asunder. Pick a partner wisely that way some months into the marriage you do not regret your decision and even if you did. Nothing is impossible with God. Stick with the marriage!!! because one is only free from marriage when their partner dies. GO TO THE BIBLE AND SEE WHAT THE LORD SAYS ABOUT DIVORCE!!!

hey just to say hi and just to ask if u guys have any kids and r u happy together or no and god loves how u guys make people happy with ur music keep it up ok love u guys ur fan crystal=)



Posted by munchkin007 @ 22:56 on Nov 13 2007

Wow... I just heard about them having a baby and was like "woah... what happened to that other guy" and in my search for answers I came across this stuff. I agree with everything the Bible says about divorce. Only death or adultery are grounds for divorce. But I have no idea what happened in their marriage. Obviously she wants to keep it private. I think we should all respect that and allow her Father and Lord to heal her without a bunch of strangers arguing about her life choices. It's really not our concern.



Posted by dee in NY area @ 13:42 on Nov 22 2007

love one another



Posted by I am so happy for JV in Bay Area @ 04:25 on Nov 30 2007

All I can say is that i am truly happy for Jaci and Nic...they have been both been GREAT blessings for a lot of people, and they are REAL examples of life, its not perfect, we are not perfect, and that is why Jesus Christ died on that cross, shed his blood....

Instead of critisizing so much, pray for them....

Ohh and congrats to them on their BEAUTIFUL baby boy!! Many Blessings to you Jaci, Nic, and Zealand!!!

So many of you guys are clueless....you haven't lived her life....below is part of an article...her own words. Coming from a broken home..and where you feel used by your parents....can cause tremdous pain that probably spilled over into her marriage. While we all make bad choices and make decisions based on our flesh... each of us falls so short..God forgives and even blesses us inspite of our sin...are their consequences...yes..even in her new marriage she will face the consequences. BUT..God is gracious...He restores. He can even turn our mistakes into something He can use. I garantee you of we laid out each life on here..including mine...we would all be ashamed...in comparison to His perfection...if you think otherwise..you are pious and I question if you truly know Christ and His grace that has saved you daily from the pit of hell. Each of still has parts of us that need to hear the gospel. Read a part of her story. Lift her up in your prayers. Ask God to make her new as He daily makes you and me new in Him. ..



Posted by Tracy Forde in Denton Tx @ 01:20 on May 28 2008

Seeing her parents divorce took its toll and the situation wasn't easy for Jaci to face especially since she had to do so as a public figure working in Christian music. She remembers, "You feel betrayed. It's like a death in the family except nobody's died. But you know that a part of your life will never be the same again. Everything that you've known is never going to be the same again. I felt at fault because I was the singer and my dad - who always had a kind of ego thing - always felt weird about his daughter suddenly becoming THE spotlight. I think he felt a little resentful towards me. He admits that now. We talk about that now, it's no big deal."



Posted by Tracy Forde in Denton, Tx @ 01:21 on May 28 2008

She reflects, "When my parents split up I moved out of the house. When I signed my record deal to give the label a sixth record, the label said, 'We'll buy you a house because you're giving us a sixth record.' I remember my parents fighting over the house and fighting over how to split things up. I just remember looking at them and saying, 'You know, you are both acting like kids! I've given up my childhood in order to have this stupid house!' That's what I felt like. I thought I would never figure out who Jaci was. That's what I thought and that's what I told them. I said, 'It's really all your fault! You guys signed me to this record deal!' And I didn't know because I was only 14-years-old! I just was doing everything mom and dad said, I was just excited, an excited child. So I felt really frustrated with them that they were actually fighting over a stupid house. And that they were going to take something my record company had given me for making another record and just split it up and then go their separate ways when I had worked so hard to get that."



Posted by Tracy Forde in Denton Tx @ 01:22 on May 28 2008

She continues, "So I took the house back. I said, 'This is MY house. You guys can't have it!' Then I moved out and I was really mad at them. I was actually more mad at my dad because he could have stayed but he didn't want to. I'm sure it's always two-sided so there's never just one side. I felt like God betrayed us because we were these faithful servants. My dad was a pastor, mom was a pastor's wife and I'd been the perfect little angel. And I WAS the perfect little angel. I mean, I never did anything wrong."

Jaci moved out and spent some time trying to sort out how she felt about everything. Having spent years of her life devoted to ministry she began to question her faith and her relationship with God. "I was a Christian and I believed but my heart wasn't in it anymore. I was just a bit of a robot. I knew what to say because I'd been a pastor's kid. I had counted on my parents for so much. I basically held them up to some sort of a standard that it's unfair to put anyone on. I'd lived my relationship with Christ through them, which a lot of kids do. I'd relied on their prayers. So finally at one point, I had to just stop and consider what I really believed and why I believed it. Where is it actually MY relationship with God?"



Posted by Tracy Forde in Denton Tx @ 01:28 on May 28 2008

Ultimately things settled in her heart and she moved on.
She explains, "People can see through you when you're fake. I've been very open about my flaws and there's been a bit of backlash about that."

You haven't walked in her shoes....maybe her faith was not her's till this happened....you don't know what presure she was under and how her parents divorce affected her...and where do you go when your famous...who do you turn to for direction in a world where christians judge and your story can be sold for money or gossiped about. It's sad...but we have enough sin to take care of in our own lives with out judging her. She will live out the consequences...let God deal with her...not us. If you don't agree don't listen to her music..but don't you dare think you are better and jusdge her.
