1 | leave when violent..? | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 143949 | ||
Yes, that is an area we disagree. I use verse 11, not ten to say they can leave if they have to, but can't remarry. If this last desparate act gets the spouse to get healed, the marriage is saved. If he remarries or has sex with another, only then is the person free. I do not see the covenant as broken due to violence. Scripture just does not say that. Staying single or being reconciled is a harder row to hoe, but I have done it and advocate it. Greentwiga |

2 | leave when violent..? | Mal 2:16 | Ray | 143956 | ||
Hi greentwiga, When I spoke of the covenant being broken I did not mean that the marriage is over and that there should be a divorce. The covenant that I see in Malachi is one of life and peace. The covenant that I see in 1 Corinthians is that the husband and wife "consent to live" together. This "consent" is one of hearty approval; being pleased to dwell with each other. This is the convenant that was broken. Until they are pleased to dwell together in life and peace; until they are reconciled, they should be separated. From the heart, Ray |
