Bible Question: Would God separate a marriage? |
Bible Answer: Here is the scriptural account that God divorced His wife Israel, But He didn't divorce Judah. Jer 3:8 "And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also. I believe divorce separates a marriage, so I answer, "Yes". God hates divorce, but He did it. wordoer |
