Hi, Star... welcome to the forum! When Moses provided the means by which a man could divorce his wife, the "writ of divorcement" was intended as a protection for her. It stated that she was faultless, not having been adulterous. This allowed her to marry again. Marriage was the only hope for any kind of future for a woman at that time. I find two situations in which divorce is "allowed." First in the event of adultery (Mat 5:32). Second in the event of an unbeliever choosing to end the marriage (1 Cor 7:15). People have to push God out and His law out of their minds in order to do what they want to do. The more successful they are at divesting themselves of the awareness of God and His holiness, the more they do as they please. Romans 1:31 states that breaking covenant is a common practice among such people. We shouldn't be surprised to see it on the increase. Most of the modern "church" simply adapts to the world's thinking. It doesn't surprise me to see such sin in the world. What surprises me more and more is that it isn't a whole lot worse! |
