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: Radioman2: The KJV correctly uses the words "put away" in Matt. 19:9. "Putting away" refers the O.T. when men would send away the wife and not give a certificate of divorce. The man could at some latter date and if she had married someone else take her back because he had just "put her away" In Malichi that is wher God said "I hate putting away". In matther Jesus said very clearly that when a wife was "put away" and she married another she was commiting adultery. Of course she was, she had no certificate of divorce! These verses have been so taken out of context and so misused. So yes God hates putting away. None the less divorce is still breaking a covenant which is very serious. Most Christians have little idea how Holy a Covenant is with God and each other. This is especially so of marriage. Justme |
