1 | Biblically correct divorce | Matt 19:9 | joel_way | 163121 | ||
The way I read this is that a man has been given reasons why he can divorce his wife, but not for a wife to divorce her husband. | ||||||
2 | Biblically correct divorce | Matt 19:9 | Xander | 163123 | ||
Jesus plainly says that divorce is not allowed except in the case of fornication (Matthew 19:9 KJV). As to whether or not divorce is simillarly disallowed for women, my answer is that for the same reasons a woman may not divorce except, again, in the case of her husband committing fornication. Here is why I say this: The Pharisees asked Jesus if a man could divorce his wife in Matthew 19:3. In Matthew 19:4-5 he answers them as follows (New American Standard Bible): "And He answered and said, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, and said, 'FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'?" The man can't divorce the woman because they are one flesh. The woman is also one flesh with the man and thus cannot divorce him. Yet with God all things are possible so I hope the woman does not give up on her relationship. |

Scripture ... Due 24:1-4; Mat 19:4-9; Mar 10:2-10; 1Co 7:10-16 ... The are no grounds that demand or require divorce. In Matthew 19:4-9 divorce was granted because the hardness of the heart ... some say of the "innocent" one (Due 24:1-4). This appears to apply to the man divorcing his wife. When Paul addressed the issue (1Co 7:10-16), he qualified it as his view, not the Lord's (vs 12) ... and divorce was permitted if the spouse was not a believer and they start left and they filed for divorce ... then the Christian was free to marry. While the man filed for divorce, again, it was thw woman who was free to marry. It could be that the man was the only one empowered to divorce. Divorce is permitted for only these two reasons ... some say only the latter ... and some may exclude the latter, since it was just Paul's view. Searcher |
