Bible Question:
Please tell why you believe that divorce is a sin! Divorce is not always a sin. It is always caused by sin, but is not an act of disobedience when permitted by God. God Himself admits to divorcing Israel (Jer. 3:8). Did God sin? I think not! |
Bible Answer: God never sanctions divorce. The conditions under which it is permitted are well documented in Scripture and discussions of this subject may be accessed by using Search and entering the word "divorce." Your analogy of human divorce and God's divorce of Israel is flawed, as are all human efforts to equate their behavior to, or justify their actions by, the mighty acts of Almighty God. We are neither holy nor sovereign. He is both. --Hank |
