AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 5:32 but I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on grounds of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who has been divorced commits adultery. [Deut 24:1-4; Luke 16:18] |
Subject: based on Mt. 5:32 may I marry a divorced |
Bible Note: New Creature: Thank you for your response. First let me say the KJV does correctly use the words "put away". To "put away" is different than to divorce. These words have been ignored just as the word baptis has been. This translation allows a wider scope of interpertation. Putting away was when a man sent his wife away and dismissed her as her wife,. The woman if she remarried could be demanded back bt her first husband at anytime because he did not giver her a certificate of divorce, thus making her and the new husband in an adulter. Malichi say God hates :putting away" In the Matthew passage jesus was saying that any man who marries a "put away" woman committes adultery. That makes it very clear and is in contex with the Old Testament verses. Doing a word study will be a helpful experience. I hope this helps. I am not endorsing divorce. I am saying that this is a serious problem some have ignored and put a over burden on divorced persons, who already are against the odds of making a marriage work. Why put more weight on those who can hardly carry what they do have? Blessings New Creature. justme |
