2 | divorce and remarriage for chirstians | Matt 5:32 | jlhetrick | 164177 | ||
hello evangelistit, See Matthew 5:32. Deception isn't a reason for divorce. Nor is it a reason for one spouse to separate. Read what the bible says about marriage and the husband and wife becoming One. (With this said, I would always encourage any person to physically remove themselves and children from a dangerous situation-work out the details later) Read the entire passage in Matthew 5, I just gave the verse for reference. Also see 1Cor. 7:15. Again, this is the reference verse, study it in context with the rest of the passage as well as considering what the bible teaches regarding marriage and it's purpose. If this question refers to yourself, I highly recommend you go to your church pastor or elders. If it is for a friend, encourage him/her to do the same. While reading through these passages consider a couple of things. What Jesus said in Mat. is pretty straight forward. In our day most have such a low view of marriage, such disregard for it as an insitution created by God for a purpose, that many (even Christians) will use any reason at all to divorce. Jesus referred to it as hardened hearts. I point this out because the tendency for someone looking for a way out is to attempt to manipulate the bible in order to achieve their desired goal. Notice also that the wife in Mat. is the one having divorce forced on her, but for her to remarry still results in adultry (as I read and understand it). Fiannly, in 1st Cor. the person leaving (or abandoning) is described as an "unbeliever". This response was in no way intended to be an answer to your question, but offered as reference points and thoughts to help you answer the question for yourself. Divorce is a very serious matter and should be considered with the counsel of mature christian leadership in my opinion. Hope this helps, Jeff |
