Bible Question: according to the bible, who gets custody of the children in a divorce? |
Bible Answer: Pumpkin, Scripture does not discuss this issue. However, I would assume that whichever of the parents didn't get stoned to death would have the children. Since the only valid reason for divorce is adultery, and the penalty for adultery is stoning, it seems the logical answer. One might ask what happened in all the occassions where God's instructions weren't obeyed? For example one might say alright, neither of us committed adultery and yet we are divorcing so who gets the children according to God? The problem with that question is that God doesn't usually give out secondary instructions. He doesn't say, "assuming you don't wan't to obey do this instead." We so often keep seeking for a way to be religious and acceptable without obeying. So the end result becomes something like this: Question: According to the Bible, who gets custody of the children in a divorce? Answer: Don't divorce. I know this might not be helpful, but its the only biblical answer I have, and the one I'd give my own relatives if they asked. Oh, and I'm not saying we should stone people for it today. In Christ, Beja |
