Bible Question (short): Divorce is not allowed? |
Question (full): Matthew 32 "But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. This is the most hotly contested verse about divorce. No where in this verse does it say it is allowed. I believe that semantically it is saying that in the case where a wife has already committed adultery, you can't "cause" her to commit adultery by divorcing her. If she hasn't commited adultery, then you cause her TO commit adultery. This verse does not say "in cases of adultery, divorce is permitted" Doesn't the 10 Commandments state thou shalt not commit adultery" So divorcing is committing adultery one way or another!
