1 | Scriptural grounds for divorce | 1 Cor 7:15 | Tim3:16 | 208424 | ||
Are there scriptural grounds for divorce based upon desertion? I know that moses was not condoning divorce due to adultery, just limiting a practice because of widespread abuse. Yet, if a wife leaves, or gives her husband the boot, should not this be grounds for a legal divorce? | ||||||
2 | Scriptural grounds for divorce | 1 Cor 7:15 | justme | 208527 | ||
Tim 3:16: Matthew 5:27-32. Jesus said marital unfaithfulness. Looking at a woman with lust is adultery of the mind. Heart, mind, eyes and body all are involved in adultery. Every sin begins with our mind or heart. Hardness of heart is always at the core of every divorce. If we spend as much time and thought into how to resolve our marriages as some do in how to escape a marriage there might be fewer marriages. If pastors refused to remarry those divorced until they are totally convienced there is absolutely Biblical grounds this too would be of significant value in saving more marriages. I personally think no one should be remarried for at least a year. Today persons con be divorced and remarried in less than a week in some stated. A book I would suggest for couples considering marriage is LIVING TOGETHER, MYTHS, RISKS AND ANSWERS by Mike and Harriet McManus publisher by Howard Books 2008. In this book the evidence proves that 65 percent of Christians are living together before marraige. And that most marriages when the couple was sexually involved or living together has the odds against a marriage making it work. Today, many churches have divorce recovery groups. Very few churches have trained Christian counselors who work with marriages in trouble. I personally an very deeply concerned for marriages that are hanging by a thin thread. When a divorced person remarries without working on the problems they have and what helped the past marriage fail, they are going to carry the same problems into the new marraige. Some clergy persons do not even do any pre marraige counseling. Is it any wonder that so many Christians fail when Christians don't consider their marraige a Covenant they made with our Holy God. The Lord will hold us accountable for our Covenant braking. Divorce is a sin. Christ does forgive our sins, and there is consequences we reap for what we have sown. I hope this is more food for thought. justme |
