Bible Question: Matthew 19:9 vs. Mark 10:9 Is divorce because of marital unfaithfullness accepted by God or: What God has joined together let no man seperate? |
Bible Answer: Divorce must be accepted by God for Jesus said Mat 5:31 "It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,' Mat 5:32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery." So God must accept it for He says so. But God also hates divorce Mal.2:16 and I know that it may be a real shock of one or the other parties in a marriage commiting adultry but surely if you really love that person then forgiveness is much better. Look at Hosea, God told him to take an adultress wife and she kept leaving him for other men but he kept going after her and bringing her back. What love that man had and what mercy he gave. And what mercy God gives us surely we must be people of mercy and forgive also the sins against us. But in saying that, God gives us that only way out of a marriage if one of the partners has commited adultry. And you could look at it like this. How many times have you been unfaithful to God, and do you not expect mercy from Him; can you not give mercy and save a marrige. Scripture is from the Hebrew Names Version |
