1 | Divorce is not allowed? | Bible general Archive 1 | Archangel_Michael | 68051 | ||
Matthew 32 "But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. This is the most hotly contested verse about divorce. No where in this verse does it say it is allowed. I believe that semantically it is saying that in the case where a wife has already committed adultery, you can't "cause" her to commit adultery by divorcing her. If she hasn't commited adultery, then you cause her TO commit adultery. This verse does not say "in cases of adultery, divorce is permitted" Doesn't the 10 Commandments state thou shalt not commit adultery" So divorcing is committing adultery one way or another! Any thoughts on this? http://www.restoreministries.net |

Marriage is a topic deserving of extensive study. Careful exegesis of relevant biblical passages such as Genesis 2:23-24, Deuteronomy 24:1-5, Malachi 2:13-16, Matthew 5:31-32, Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:1-40, Ephesians 5:22-33, 1 Timothy 3:2, Hebrews 13:4, and several others is required to form a theologically informed set of guidelines for marriage, divorce, and remarriage. But for now, the reader will have to be satisfied with the following: Marriage consists of the union of a man and a woman, whose covenant relationship is witnessed and officiated by God himself. The Christian is only permitted to marry another Christian. If one is converted after marriage, one is not to divorce the spouse. But if the non-Christian spouse desires to sever the relationship, the Christian cannot force him or her to remain. Once within a marriage relationship, one must remain faithful, and not to divorce another, except when the other is found to be unfaithful. Even then, divorce is not necessary, but only permitted. One who divorces the spouse illegitimately is a covenant-breaker, and incurs God's judgment. Remarriage is generally allowed, and is encouraged or discouraged under different conditions. But again, it must only occur between two Christians. |
