Subject: Should a divorced person remarry? |
Bible Note: Justme, thanks for the kind welcome. I guess, that I have a problem with this scripture. I still question should people get divorced? If they do, should they remarry? Divorce occurs often amoung Christians, especially high ratio amoung pastors that I have been aquainted with. It is hard to stop a divorce when the other person wants it badly enough. You can try counseling, begging, changing habits, and standing on your head, but divorce may be inevitable. I was being facicious and debating Mat.5:32, when I said "would it be a greater sin to divorce now?". I have no intention of divorcing my wife of 33 years. Is it better not remarry and "burn in passion" than to remarry and commit adultery? Since this follows scripture on cutting off your hand and gouging out your eye, could these verses also be hyperbole? God Bless. |
