1 | Do you see Gill's view as Biblical? | Matt 19:9 | Searcher56 | 144451 | ||
DocT, I call it Gill’s trash because I think he adds to Scripture, as MJH cites below: By John Gill's Exposition of the entire Bible: Deut 24:1 "because he hath found some uncleanness in her;" "something that he disliked, and was disagreeable to him, and which made their continuance together in the marriage state very uncomfortable; which led him on to be very ill-natured, severe, and CRUEL to her; so that HER LIFE was exposed to danger, or at least become very uneasy; in which case a divorce was permitted, BOTH for the badness of the man's heart, and in favor of the woman, that she might be FREED from such rigorous usage." (CAPS are my additions). To link abuse, cruelty, danger … as grounds for divorce is not in my Bible. I don’t find this in the Bible ... do you? I don’t think I am better than Gill or anyone, but will, even must challenge even pastors, when I see there is error (Acts 17:11). What "obvious denominational bias" do you see? While I consider abuse wrongs, it is not grounds for divorce. Abuse has civil/criminal penalties. One may even say violating Ephesians 5:22-33 as grounds, since this deals directly with the husband and wife. |
