Bible Question: Moses permitted Divorcew bot did god allow it Malachi (Malachi 2:16) or verse Matthew (Matt 19:7-8). My wife has left me several years ago and is with another man to this day I have not been able to forgive her. Yet I choose to remain married. |
Bible Answer: I am a little confused as to what you are asking. However, I will make some points. Malachi clearly says God hates divorce. God knows though that since a marriage involves two sinful humans, divorce is going to occur. In the Old Testament, there are some laws in order to protect the rights of divorcees (in Deut). These laws were given because of the hardness of people’s hearts, not because they were God’s desire (Matthew 19:8) The divorce rate among so-called Christians is almost as high as the rest of the world - That is sad. God makes it clear that reconciliation and forgiveness should be present in a believer's life [and marriage]. Luke 11:4/Ephesians 4:32 You should not feel any less loved by God. God often uses even the sinful disobedience of Christians to accomplish great good. |
