Bible Question: Jesus sighted infedility of the wife as the only reason for divorce.Why then do some pastors encourage spouses caught in this situation to patch up and go on instead of carrying out Jesus'command?Isn't it disobedience? |
Bible Answer: Are you inferring the Jesus actually commanded them to divorce for this reason? I think that what He was saying was that (if) a person where to pursue a divorce, and then marries another, the reason mentioned would be the only reason that would be acceptable with Him; other then this reason the person who remarries would be committing adultery. Jesus did not command them to divorce. CDBJ |
