Subject: Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? |
Bible Note: Hey Dan, sorry to get back to you so late. At lunch now so will make this quick. Will you provide Scripture to support your statement please. Matthew 18:15-17 may have a broad application here, but it certainly is not speaking of the marriage relationship. If anything, it might give us a model to follow if we intend to try and save the marriage. We are in agreement that God calls us to forgive those who sin against us. But can you point to Scripture that requires the victim of adultry to go through a process (like or similar to Matt 18:15-17) before being allowed to divorce in accordance with Matthew 19:9 You wrote that it doesn't "automatically give the other partner the right to divorce." I'm presenting to you that it absolutely gives the other person the RIGHT to divorce. I believe we agree that a person shouldn't "automatically" divorce. The institution of marriage is, I believe, so sacred that a Christian should "automatically" seek God's guide and explore the possibility of saving the marriage. But Scripture doesn't require it that I have found. These kinds of exchanges are excellent, in my opinion, in helping each of us consider topics like this beyond what we have always heard or thought about on the surface. thanks and God bless, Jeff |
