1 | Divorce Is Dissolution of Marriage Bond | 2 Pet 3:16 | kalos | 88206 | ||
Defining Divorce Speaking of this as he does in all of his letters. There are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own utter destruction, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures. (AMPLIFIED 2 Peter 3:16) REPOST of ID# 39169 You write: " . . . divorce is no more than a legal separation and does not carry the right to remarry. This is the view held by the catholic church." I couldn't agree with you more when you say "This is the view held by the catholic church." It sure is! However, whether this is the view held by your church, my church or any other church is not the issue. The issue is, for the 100th time, THE JEWS, GREEKS AND ROMANS OF THE NT ERA CORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD THAT DIVORCE INDEED IS A DISSOLUTION OF THE MARRIAGE BOND JUST AS THOUGH IT HAD NEVER BEEN. The Roman Catholic notion that divorce was no more than legalized separation from bed and board was wholly unknown to the people of the NT era. The primary question in this thread never has been "What constitutes grounds for divorce?". Those grounds have been covered repeatedly on this thread. The question here is simply "Can a divorced person remarry?" We already know there are Scriptural grounds for divorce. The inspired teachings of Christ AND writings of Paul provide grounds for divorce for TWO -- NOT ONE, BUT TWO -- REASONS. Anyone who thinks the only inspired writings are the teachings of Jesus may as well throw away their Bible and get one that contains only the very words of Christ himself. But the Bible says in 2 Timothy 3:16 that ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God -- not just the four gospels. ____________________ See ID# 39169. |
