Subject: Does God endorse polygamy? |
Bible Note: Steve, no, a woman is not permitted to divorce her husband. The only legitimate cause that a divorce can be obtaind for is sexual sin. Since a man cannot commit adultery against his wife, because he may be married to several women at once, a woman is deprived of the only reason for divorce, thus she may not. Please read the above carefully, I have stated that a man cannot commit adultery against his wife. If he divorces her, she is not his wife, this addresses Matthew 19. I have also not said that a man cannot commit adultery. He can, it's just not against his wife. Hugh |
