2 | Biblical reasons for divorce? | 1 Cor 7:15 | ipl | 243424 | ||
If the person who chooses to leave the marriage is judged to be an unbeliever then the believer is free to divorce and possibly remarry. Not sure who should be making such a judgement before the appointed time because of warning in the parable of the wheat and the tares in Matt 13 but maybe the one leaving made the judgement on themself. 1 Cor 7:12-15 12 But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. 1 Cor 6:9-10 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Gal 5:19-21 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Eph 5:5 For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. |

I do not believe 1 Cor. 7:12-15 and in particular verse 15 is okaying divorce with the implication that the righteous person can remarry. It simply says let the unbeliever go if they want to. Now if that person then commits adultery the vow of marriage is broken and divorce is warranted. |

Very helpful, Ed. Thank you. Here is something else that will help. Look at every reference in scripture, than work these things out yourself. Our God has been gracious to give us explicit instruction through the word and the teachings of those who have studied ALL of Scripture; Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mat 7:15) Clearly they look like believers, but only come to steel and destroy. (See Jesus parable of the thief.) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (Mat 24:11) There will be lots of them, and lots of people will believe them. What they espouse is deceit. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Mat 24:24) They will assume the identify of Christ or His words. They will be able to perform some powerful and convincing stuff. A lot of otherwise level headed believers may be caught up in their false teachings. For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. (Mar 13:22) Their teachings will be seductive and plausable. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. (Luk 6:26) If the majority of folks are praising someone, and you hear very little criticism, watch out! This is a curse, not a blessing. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (2Pe 2:1) They will be throughout the world and the church. They will introduce apostacy and error. They will even deny the Lord they pretend to serve. Ultimately, they have their part with the reprobate. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (1Jo 4:1) We need to be less trusting, and more skeptical. We need to question and observe, discerningly judging if a man is truly of the faith or not. False teachers generally preach to please the ears of men, rather than profit their heart. Valerian, the emperor of Rome said, "It is not bitter, but flattering words which do all the mischief." (Is 30:10, Jer 5:30-31; 23:16-17) False teachers tend to cast dispersion, doubt, discredit, and disdain upon the persons, names, or credits of God's most faithful ambassadors. (Num 16:3, 2 Cor 10:10) "He that willingly takes from my good name, unwillingly adds to my reward." --Augustine False teachers tend to offer instruction in theories of their own mind and hearts. (Jer 14:14; 23:16) False teachers disguise their deceptions in attractive speeches and golden expressions. Furthermore, they do all of this for their own gain, rather than the benefit of their pupils. (Romans 16:16) False teachers work very hard with the men's minds. Their intent is not to better men's hearts. Their intent is not to mend men's lives. In this way they are a lot like their father the devil, who will spare no pains in gaining converts. (Matt 23:15) False teachers will exploit their followers through covetousness. They seek to serve themselves, rather than save souls. They look to men's goods rather than seeking to do men good. Beware! They will hold forth principles that appeal to the flesh to make it easier for them to empty purses or pick pockets. (2 Peter 2:15) |

I think the real discussion on divorce we have to ask is it okay to break a vow made to God? Deuteronomy 23:21 (NASB) 21 "When you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay to pay it, for it would be sin in you, and the LORD your God will surely require it of you. In a marriage we make a vow to our spouse, to the witnesses and to God to remain married until death parts us. Jesus said there is one exception, adultery on the part of one of the members of the marriage. At that point the vow was broken |
