Bible Question: Thanks for your answer. I agree that a Christian should not divorce. But the question is: if a person was divorced on scriptural grounds (desertion or sexual immorality on the part of their former spouse), does that divorce not carry with it the right to remarry? Or is divorce nothing more than legalized separation? How is a person still bound by the marriage covenant if he is no longer married? |
Bible Answer: I think that God has called all men andwomen to reconcile no matter what the lifestyle Christian of not. Mal 2:16 states that God hates divorce. Matt 19 Christ states that because of the hardness of men's hearts Moses permitted divorce. If there is no way that reconciliation is possible, from the non-christian stand not the christian, the Christian is not bound to the non-Christian. |
