Subject: Can a woman divorce man: Ongoing porn? |
Bible Note: Bandaid, You may be on the right track but I'd steep carefully none the less, I think you are doing just that by the way. :-) I tend to agree with Cheri. But you know, if the Holy Spirit was giving you a green light you would not be so troubled by this. Perhaps, either there is hope for your husbands repentance or God is keeping you in this to learn something? I believe you are correct, IMHO. The greek word used here for unchastity or fornication or immorality, is 'porneia', and is the word we get the word pornography. V 32 "But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. KJV v 32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality F22 causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. NKJV 32 but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. NASB 32 But I tell you, Whoever dismisses and repudiates and divorces his wife, except on the grounds of unfaithfulness (sexual immorality), causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a woman who has been divorced commits adultery AMP NASB In my opinion, if the Lord had intended to say Adultery only and specifically is the only reason for divorce, he would have had His Word say so. Take it for what it is worth to you. I hope this helps. John |
