Subject: what does the bible say about divorce |
Bible Note: This is a loving response from your heart. I have heard people use this logic to say abusive and drug addicted people have broken the marriage, so the spouse is free to remarry. I understand your and their motives, but I limit myself to exactly what scripture says. Therefore I stick with 7:11 for freedom to leave but not remarry. |
