1 | Divorce for no sexual life ever - OK? | Matt 19:9 | jlhetrick | 171008 | ||
Emmaus, You wrote: "To marry one must be able to perform the primary duty of marriage with one's partner" I assume by saying "primary duty (singlurar)" that you are continue to refer to the act of sex. Where do you base your statement in scripture? It's not even a good argument my friend. And concerning my hypothetical, well, it's not really a hypothetical. It is a very true situation concerning a patient of mine. Remember. When you start with an original situation as in "which started this thread" and more light is shown on it from scripture; the logical thing to do is go with the revelation of scripture and not attempt to stick to original premise. I must assume that nana's original question was sincere. That is, is divorce for no sexual life ever ok. Answer from scripture; NO, it is not. The legitimacy of debate really ends there. Hope this helps, Jeff |

Jeff, There is no divorce when there is no true marriage, there is only a judgement of nullity, i.e. that a marriage never existed despite the appearance that one did exist. Ther is no debate because there is no legitimate marriage to be debated. I refer you to Kalos' post on the scriptual meaning of "one flesh" and its relationship to marriage. Emmaus |

Hello Emmaus, Please refer to my post to kalos' post to address this post of yours:-) When attempting to apply this kind of legal argument to the issue, you miss an essential point. In the case of your post, the fraud could be based on anything, not only the issue of sex. If something else, then perhaps sex has already occured. If so, and there was never a marriage (legally) then the innocent one is not innocent having committed sexual immorality. Again, when we push further away from man's legal position, and draw closer to the clear teachings found in scripture; it is not that difficult an issue. Christ's love, Jeff |
