AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 19:9 "I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." |
Subject: Biblically correct divorce |
Bible Note: Scripture ... Due 24:1-4; Mat 19:4-9; Mar 10:2-10; 1Co 7:10-16 ... The are no grounds that demand or require divorce. In Matthew 19:4-9 divorce was granted because the hardness of the heart ... some say of the "innocent" one (Due 24:1-4). This appears to apply to the man divorcing his wife. When Paul addressed the issue (1Co 7:10-16), he qualified it as his view, not the Lord's (vs 12) ... and divorce was permitted if the spouse was not a believer and they start left and they filed for divorce ... then the Christian was free to marry. While the man filed for divorce, again, it was thw woman who was free to marry. It could be that the man was the only one empowered to divorce. Divorce is permitted for only these two reasons ... some say only the latter ... and some may exclude the latter, since it was just Paul's view. Searcher |
